Short Communication The Use Of Oesophageal - Pharyngeal Samples In The Diagnosis Of Food And Mouth Disease, H.A. Westbury, W.J. Doughty, Pornchai Chamnanpood, Suchinta Tangchaitrong, A.J. Forman

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

We examined the use of oesphageal-pharyngeal (0/P) samples for the isolation of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) virus in animals from which it was difficult to obtain a conventional epithelial tissue specimen. The virus was detected in 42 (28%) of 150 samples, and only 5 (12%) of the 42 cases had positive results when the samples were tested directly with ELISA. The preferred technique for examination of 0/P samples was thus by culturing representative cell samples. The 150 samples came from 22 cases of the disease, with the virus being detected in 16 cases. In 4 of these 16 cases …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

From January, 1986 through April, 1998, a total 42 patients with chronic intractable pain, age between 25 and 60 years, were treated by non-biofeed back relaxation technique including progressive relaxation, autogenic phrase, Benson's meditation and visual imagery. All patients had ever received medical, surgical and physical treatments but in vein at all.Twenty-eight of 42 patients (66.6%)reported getting apparent to slight improvement after relaxation training. Patients in non-specific pain syndrome group had a higher successful result than those in failed back surgery syndrome, cervical syndrome, and low back syndrome groups. Fourteen of 42 patients failing to get improvement reported some discomfort …

The Facet Joint And Low Back Pain: A Clinical Study, Chorng-Sonq Chou, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Therapeutic injection of facet joints is now widely practised, but Chinese experience has been infrequently reported. 21patients with suffering from the ”facet syndrome” have been taken from OPD patients, Our series including total 30 intra-articular injections C 2% Xylocaine & Kenacort A preparation provide a diagnostic-therapeutic block; Certainty of joint penetration can be ensured only by the routine use of joint arthrography ￠ Metrazamide. Results indicate that immediate effective is 61.9% for releiving pain. It means this block is a good diagnostic-therapeutic procedure in low back pain patients.

The Psychological Needs Of Sex Offenders Of Children As Measured By The Personality Research Form, Shirley Anne Miller

Dissertations

Major contributors in the field of child sexual abuse have agreed that sex offenders who sexually abuse children are not primarily motivated by sexual desire and have proposed that the simultaneous satisfaction of a number of psychological needs is the prominent motivation of sex offenders of children. Few attempts have been made to empirically validate the clinical and theoretical impressions regarding the psychological needs of this group using psychological measures designed to assess needs or motives.

The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent the assumptions about the psychological needs of sex offenders of children would be …

Effects Of Intervention On The Ability Of Students With Hearing Impairments To Write Personal Narrative Stories, Beth L. Miller

Masters Theses

This study was designed to determine whether students with hearing impairments could be taught to write more mature personal narrative stories. An experimental group of junior high students received intervention focused on teaching the elements of story grammar and their application to the students' written narrative stories. A matched control group of students spent equal time with the researcher and received intervention focused on improvement of basic language skills. Pretest, posttest-1, posttest-2, and generalization samples were taken. Students' metatextual skills for telling how to write a story were also probed.

The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor From Prostate Cells Is Dephosphorylated By A Prostate-Specific Phosphotyrosyl Phosphatase., Ming-Fong Lin, Gail M. Clinton

Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Human prostatic acid phosphatase (PAcP) has been found to have phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatase activity (H. C. Li, J. Chernoff, L. B. Chen, and A. Kirschonbaun, Eur. J. Biochem. 138:45-51, 1984; M.-F. Lin and G. M. Clinton, Biochem. J. 235:351-357, 1986) and has been suggested to negatively regulate phosphotyrosine levels, at least in part, by inhibition of tyrosine protein kinase activity (M.-F. Lin and G. M. Clinton, Adv. Protein Phosphatases 4:199-228, 1987; M.-F. Lin, C. L. Lee, and G. M. Clinton, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:4753-4757, 1986). We investigated the molecular interaction of PAcP with a specific tyrosine kinase, the epidermal growth factor …

Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of An Educational Presentation In Increasing Chemically Dependent Males’ Report Of Sexual Abuse, Linda L. Hand

Masters Theses

Research has demonstrated several factors among sexually abused males such as males sexually abused as children becoming adult sexual abusers; one in four males reporting sexual abuse; and adult emotional trauma, drug abuse, and sexual dysfunction. To break this abuse pattern, we need to focus on increasing males' reports of sexual abuse and initiating treatment.

The present study evaluated the effectiveness of an oral educational presentation in increasing males' reports of sexual abuse. It also sought prevalence information and treatment needs. Subjects were 51 males from three chemical dependency treatment centers. One control and four experimental groups were used. The …

Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Seizures In Pigeons And The Effects Of Ethosuximide Thereon, James J. Jakubow

Masters Theses

Previous research has shown that ethosuximide in high enough doses will disrupt operant responding in pigeons. Whether or not these same doses will protect against seizure activity in this species has not been previously tested.

To test this question a system for scoring pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in pigeons was developed and the effects of ethosuximide on such seizures were evaluated. In Experiment 1 pentylenetetrazol at 15, 27 and 47 mg/kg reliably induced seizures. In Experiment 2 non-behaviorally active and behaviorally active doses of ethosuximide were tested for their seizure controlling effectiveness.

Doses of 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 mg/kg ethosuximide …

A Cross-Cultural Analysis Of Psychiatric Symptom Expression Using Langner's Twenty-Two Item Index, Robert Nishimoto

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

An analysis of psychiatric symptom response using Langner's twentytwo item index was conducted across three cultural settings. Respondents were Anglo-American, Vietnamese Chinese, and Mexican. Some similarities did exist in response patterns and in those symptom items highly correlated with the total psychiatric screening score. Close examination revealed between-group differences indicating that not all twenty-two items were valid indicators of psychological disorder across cultures. The study highlights issues in the development and use of symptom checklists to measure and assess mental health constructs across cultures.

Community Mental Health: A View From American History, Mary Ann Jimenez

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The limitations of the movement for deinstitutionalization of the chronically mentally disordered have been the subject of a repeated series of investigations and analyses in the last 10 years. These critiques can be summed up in the undeniable observation that the chronically mentally disordered have by and large failed to benefit from deinstitutionalization in the ways that the original advocates and planners of this policy had hoped. The promise of community mental health, at least as articulated by the scores of witnesses before Congressional committees in the early 1960's, has not been realized for this population.

Cauda Equina Syndrome And Lumbar Disc Herniation, Chinn-Dong Chung, Chorng-Sonq Chou, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Hearniation of lumbar disc (HIVD) causing compression of the cauda equina is rare but needs urgent diagnosis and surgical treatment. Cauda equina syndrome (CES) has been described as a complex of low back pain, bilateral or unilateral sciatica, saddle anesthesia and motor weakness in the lower extremities that may progress to paraplegia with bowel and urinary bladder incontinence. The onset of bladder and rectal paralysis with saddle anesthesia should be viewed with a high index of suspicion in a patient with backache and sciatica. Three C.E.S. cases out of 169 H.I.V.D. cases who had been operated in our hospital were …
