History Of Anaesthesia, Pedro Crisafi

Bachelors’ Theses

"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.” Thus is described the first case of anesthesia on record. It is certain that attempts to relieve the pain of surgical procedures extend back to remote times.

The purpose of this thesis is to present a general view of the external and microscopic anatomy of the frog kidney and with this as a groundwork to present the problems of secretion; whether secretion is carried on by the renal …

Commercial Laboratories From The Professional Point Of View, Victor I. Teltsch

Bachelors’ Theses

All laboratory details and procedures of denture construction, including preparation of various gold alloys, plaster of Paris, making of artificial teeth, compounding of rubber, and numerous other processes, were then considered routine duties in the practice of dentistry.

Bachelors’ Theses

Recognizing the fact that considerable data has been recorded and still more work actually has been accomplished in the alleviation of the pain and suffering incident to the infection of Vincent, yet, from the comparative standpoint with what is known of other pathological conditions, this disease does not seem to receive the attention which it demands. With the exception of a numbered few, none of the more modern scientific works have any lengthy discussion in reference to this disease.

This may be attributed to the difficulty of repeating identical experimental conditions, for enzymes are very …

Preparation Of A Clear, Light Pharmaceutical Solution Of Sodium Morrhuate, George H. Becker

The Relation Of Medical Treatment To Speech Defects, Agnes Rosemary Lewnik

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to test the historical and present day methods to determine the place of medical treatment in the field of speech correction. First, we can view the field of history to determine what conditions of mind and body were considered as defects of speech; and secondly, what treatment was offered as a method of cure. We pan again consider the organs of speech and notice the diseases involving such organs. We then can look to the methods in the field and determine if medical treatment is or is not a required procedure.
