Pharmaceutical Research: Paradox, Challenge Or Dilemma?, Abdul Latif Sheikh
Pharmaceutical Research: Paradox, Challenge Or Dilemma?, Abdul Latif Sheikh
Community Health Sciences
A great deal of pharmaceutical research is nowadays carried out in developing countries such as Pakistan. Is it, however, beneficial for the country and the participants, often the poorly educated and illiterate? Pharmaceutical research in Pakistan can bring benefits to both patients and country. Promotion of good clinical practice and the development of national guidelines are advocated. Government and industry both have a role to play to maintain the right balance.

Contagious Discourse: Germs, Mass Media, And The Shaping Of Reality, Amy Richardson Ballagh
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Over the past two decades, mass media coverage of certain infectious diseases has become more abundant. News reports of many of these contagious illnesses invoke fear in many people, such as Ebola and pandemic influenza; multidrug-resistant strains of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis; and agents of biological warfare, a concern that is now at the forefront with many Americans due to the most recent act of bioterrorism on American soil following the events of September 11th. This dissertation focuses on the American public's perception of infectious diseases, particularly as portrayed in the cultural science curriculum. I examine the cyclic nature …

Utility Of Health Belief Model Constructs In Predicting Dietary Behaviors Among Female University Students: A Pilot Investigation, Vanessa Emily Anderson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examined the relationship between Health Belief Model constructs as they related to dietary behaviors in a sample of university women 18-to-25 years of age (n=182). A cross-sectional, non-experimental design was utilized. Independent sample t-tests compared the mean of body mass indices (BMI) to dietary risk and race. Odds ratios amassed relationships between race and healthy food choices. Nearly one-third (32.4%) of participants were either overweight or obese. Black females had significantly higher BMI than white females; however, dietary risk from less-than-adequate fruit and vegetable consumption and consumption of high-fat foods were not related to race. Focus group participants …

Television Viewing Habits, Body Mass Index, Dietary Behaviors And Physical Activity Among University Students, Mary Catherine Ball
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examined the relationship between TV-viewing, BMI, dietary behaviors and physical activity in a purposive sample of university students. Twenty-three items from the National College Health Risk Behavior Survey were used. For data analysis, students were placed into dichotomous categories for TV-viewing risk; dichotomous categories were also created for each DV. Chi-square tests examined relationships between demographic and risk-behavior correlates and Ss' self-reports of TV-viewing; subsequent analyses were run for Ss who were normal- and overweight/obese. Odds ratios with 95% CI were also computed. TV-viewing was related to decreased use of diet/exercise to control weight and an increased likelihood …

The Sympathetic Discriminator: Mental Illness, Hedonic Costs, And The Ada, Elizabeth F. Emens
Faculty Scholarship
Social discrimination against people with mental illness is widespread. Treating people differently on the basis of mental illness does not provoke the same moral outrage as that inspired by differential treatment on the basis of race, sex, or even physical disability. Indeed, many people would freely admit preferring someone who does not have a mental illness as a neighbor, dinner party guest, parent, partner, or person in the next seat on the subway. Moreover, more than ten years after the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA" or "Act") expressly prohibited private employers from discriminating on the basis of mental, as …

Pathology, East Africa
Patient data from eight clinical trials were pooled and analyzed to study the efficacy and safety of the six-dose versus four-dose regimen of artemether-lumefantrine (coartemether; Coartem) in children weighing 5-25 kg. A total of 544 patients with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria (six-dose: 343; four-dose: 201), matched for demographic and baseline characteristics and individual coartemether doses were included in the analysis. Analysis of day 28 cure rate based on the intention-to-treat and evaluable populations yielded corrected cure rates for the six-dose regimen of 93% and 96% compared with 61% and 76%, respectively, for the four-dose regimen (P < 0.0001 for both comparisons). Similarly high cure rates were achieved with the six-dose regimen in non-immune infants weighing as little as 5 kg. The six- and four-dose regimens were equally well tolerated. The main finding of this analysis is that the six-dose regimen of coartemether is safe and more efficacious than the four-dose regimen in children.

Las alternativas que existen en cuanto a materiales y diseños de lentes oftálmicos, hacen que el decidir el lente ideal para una determinada prescripción sea una tarea difícil, claro está, si no se conocen a fondo las propiedades ópticas y físicas de los mismos. En el presente trabajo se describe cómo el índice de refracción de un material depende de la longitud de onda de la luz a través de la polarización eléctrica, dando lugar al proceso de dispersión. En lentes oftálmicos, la dispersión cromática está caracterizada por el número Abbe. Se muestran algunas definiciones para este valor, su importancia …

Astigmatismo En Niños, Marta Bermúdez R., Yolanda López A., Luisa Fernanda Figueroa O.
Ciencia y Tecnología para la Salud Visual y Ocular
Para prescribir corrección en niños, además de considerar agudeza visual, integridad del segmento anterior y estado motor, se debe relacionar la magnitud y orientación del astigmatismo con la edad y el grupo étnico al cual pertenece el paciente. En ausencia de anisometropía, los astigmatismos con la regla, deberían corregirse si son mayores de 2,50 dioptrías. Puesto que los astigmatismos contra la regla y oblicuos conllevan un mayor riesgo ambliopizante, se deben tener en cuenta magnitudes inferiores al dar la prescripción. En caso de anisometropías iguales o mayores a 1 dioptría se debe dar la corrección.
