Urban Health Program Strategic Planning Report, American Indian Health Care Association

Native Health Database Full Text

This report applied the Strategic Planning and Management Model to the Urban Indian Health Program. Although it sets forth the entire steps of the strategic planning model, it is more accurately a progress report through the first eight steps of the strategic planning model. Subsequent analysis should then continue the process for steps 9 through 11.

Unspeakable Suspicions: Challenging The Racist Consensual Encounter, Peter Schoenburg, Risa Evans

Law Faculty Scholarship

[Excerpt] "In recent years, law enforcement officials have honed a new technique for fighting the "War on Drugs:" the suspicionless police sweep of stations and vehicles involved in interstate mass transportation. Single officers or groups of officers approach unfortunate individuals in busses, trains, stations and airline terminals. A targeted traveller is requested to show identification and tickets, explain the purpose of his or her travels, and finally, at times, to consent to a luggage search. As long as "a reasonable person would understand that he or she could refuse to cooperate," the encounter between the law-enforcement official and the traveller …

Diagnosis And Outcome Of Congenital Hyperammonemias, P Mufti, I Ahmed

Department of Paediatrics and Child Health

A total of 21 patients were admitted to Aga Khan University Hospital with suspected congenital hyperammonemias during the period 1989 to 1992, 11 with acidosis and 10 without acidosis. Prominent clinical manifestations included positive family history (76%), onset in the first week of life (67%) and neurological manifestations (76%). Of patients with hyperammonemia and acidosis, 4 had severe metabolic acidosis with anion gap of 30mEq/L and above. Of patients with hyperammonemia without acidosis, 4 had ammonia level ranging from 1600-2000 micrograms/dl. Diagnosis was confirmed in only 1 patient and that was also done abroad. Overall mortality was 71%. These disorders …

Natural Family Planning And Catholic Hospitals: A National Survey, Richard J. Fehring, Carl Werner

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

A recent survey conducted by the American Academy of Natural Family Planning (AANFP) found that over 55% of Catholic hospitals surveyed either provide or would like to provide some form of Natural Family Planning (NFP) services. In addition, over 60% of the respondents felt that NFP should be part of the mission of a Catholic hospital. This recent survey was conducted by the AANFP in order to determine the use of NFP in Catholic hospitals, (i.e., whether NFP is provided, types of NFP methods taught, teaching standardization and methodologies used, qualifications of NFP teachers, and the ethics of NFP services). …

Efficient Transcriptional Activation Of Many Simple Modular Promoters By Simian Virus 40 Large T Antigen., Philip W. Rice, Charles N. Cole

Dartmouth Scholarship

Simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen is a multifunctional protein which plays central roles during both lytic and transforming infections by SV40. It is a potent transcriptional activator and increases expression from the SV40 late promoter and from several cellular promoters. To understand better the transcriptional activation activity of large T antigen, we examined its ability to transactivate a set of simple modular promoters containing one of four upstream activation sequences coupled with one of three different TATA box sequences originally constructed and studied by Taylor and Kingston (Mol. Cell. Biol. 10:165-175, 1990). Large T antigen activated transcription from …

A Comprehensive Mental Health Care System For Native Americans In New Mexico, Pa May, Mg Chavez, Jp Gossage, D Leresche, J Neidhardt, M Roessel, Dd Strout, N Tafoya, Ar Velarde

This is a comprehensive report of a seven-month study contracted through the State Division of Mental Health to the University of New Mexico, Department of Psychiatry/Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse and Addictions (CASAA). Based on the findings of this planning effort, a system of comprehensive mental health care for American Indians was proposed. This continuum of care extends from the tribal communities, to regional centers of care, and to a centralized facility.

A Clustering Of Childhood Meningococcal Disease: A Challenge For Physicians, Press And Community., Michael S. Dreyer, Stephen C. Eppes, Joel D. Klein

Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers

The Delaware Division of Public Health reported only two cases of documented meningococcal infection in the pediatric population in 1992. As of March 1, 1993, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report indicated only one case of meningococcal disease in the state of Delaware for 1993. However, from the end of February to early April 1993, approximately six weeks, there were seven cases of documented meningococcal infection in the pediatric population that either presented or were transferred to one of the pediatric care facilities in the Wilmington, Delaware area. Notification of these cases to the Delaware Division of Public Health prompted …

Ms211: Letter To Dennis Sokol From Armin Weinberg, Armin Weinberg

Works on Radiation Effects: 1990-2020

This an early note to Dennis Sokol who Armin met with at the request of Ambassador Robert Strauss during his first trip to Russia (the meeting with the ambassador was facilitated also by Billy Goldberg). Dennis was a US entrepreneur who was establishing Western style clinics in the former USSR and the ambassador thought we could help especially based on his knowledge of the BCM/TMH affiliation with the Admiral Bristol Hospital that became the American Hospital of Istanbul. See more at Armin Weinberg, PhD Papers and its finding aid.

The Houston Academy Of Medicine--Texas Medical Center Library Management Information System, Damon Camille, Sanjay Chadha, Richard Lyders

Library Press and Events

A management information system (MIS) provides a means for collecting, reporting, and analyzing data from all segments of an organization. Such systems are common in business but rare in libraries. The Houston Academy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center Library developed an MIS that operates on a system of networked IBM PCs and Paradox, a commercial database software package. The data collected in the system include monthly reports, client profile information, and data collected at the time of service requests. The MIS assists with enforcement of library policies, ensures that correct information is recorded, and provides reports for library managers. It also …

The Road Not Taken: State Constitutions As An Alternative Source Of Protection For Reproductive Rights, Kevin F. O'Neill

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

Lawyers seeking constitutional protection for reproductive rights have relied almost exclusively on a liberty/privacy theory under the Federal Constitution. In the wake of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, this theory may be seen as providing a floor of minimum protection-preventing states from banning abortion outright. But it is not strong enough to prevent states from enacting restrictions on the availability of abortion. Thus, the battle over reproductive rights may be seen as shifting from one phase ("Can abortion be banned?") to another ("How far can states go in restricting access to abortion'?"). If proponents of reproductive freedom are …

History Of Middle Ear Involvement And Speech/Language Development In Late Talkers, Rhea Paul, Timothy F. Lynn, Marla Lohr-Flanders

Communication Disorders Faculty Publications

Late-talking and normally speaking toddlers with and without histories of middle ear involvement were followed for 2 years to assess speech and expressive language outcomes. Results revealed no differences in expressive language outcome that could be attributed to history of middle ear involvement in either group. There did seem to be differences in outcome on measures of articulation that were associated with history of middle ear involvement. The implications of these findings for treatment of otitis media and for referral of late-talking toddlers for speech and language services are discussed.

Patterns Of Development In Late Talkers: Preschool Years, Rhea Paul

Communication Disorders Faculty Publications

A group of children was identified as “late talkers” (LT) on the basis of small expressive vocabulary size at 20–34 months of age and matched to a group of normally speaking age-mates. The subjects were followed yearly throughout the preschool period in order to track growth in language and related skills. Results showed that although significant improvement in speech and language skill occurred during the preschool period in the late talkers, a substantial minority of children retained deficits throughout the preschool years. By kindergarten age, these children, as a group, scored within, but at the low end of the normal …

Could Distance Be A Proxy For Severity-Of-Illness? A Comparison Of Hospital Costs In Distant And Local Patients., H G. Welch, E B. Larson, W P. Welch

Dartmouth Scholarship

We test the hypothesis that hospital costs, after adjusting for DRG mix, are higher in distant patients than in local patients. Data were obtained from the Washington State Commission Hospital Abstract Reporting System (CHARS) and included all patients discharged from 15 metropolitan hospitals in the state of Washington during fiscal year 1987 (N = 181,072).

Microscopic Colitis: A Diagnosis To Consider, S Hamid, W Jafri, Z Abbas, H Shah, S Abid, H Sheikh, A Hussainy, H Khan

Section of Gastroenterology

Microscopic colitis is a syndrome of chronic watery diarrhoea for which no cause can be identified other than the presence of diffuse, chronic inflammation in the lamina propria on colonic biopsy. Endoscopically and radiologically the colon appears normal. We studied case records of 215 patients presenting to our institution over a three year period with chronic diarrhoea. Nineteen patients were included in the study where two pathologists agreed on the presence of chronic inflammation on colonic biopsies. All patients had watery diarrhoea with urgency. Stool examination, laboratory indices, radiology of the large and small bowel and colonoscopy were normal in …
