Integration Of Duration And Frequency In Discrimination Between Pure Tones, Blas Espinoza-Varas

Independent Studies and Capstones

This dissertation investigates discrimination between pure tones. Three questions were investigated: can listeners integrate frequency and duration information in the discrimination of pure tones; how does the discriminability of duration-frequency compounds relate to the discriminability of the changes in the individual dimensions; and how is the integration of these two dimensions affected by the parameters of the stimuli in which the changes in duration and frequency are introduced.

Taste-Masking: Function Of Exaggerated Prandial Drinking In Desalivate Mice, Richard C. Lewis

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Taste thresholds for the bitter compound sucrose octaacetate (SOA) were elevated by desalivation in mice. Thresholds were determined for control and experimental animals both before and after ligation of all salivary ducts. There was a significant increase in SOA thresholds in the desalivate mice, and the pre- to post-operative differences in threshold between the control and experimental groups were significant. The altered response to SOA by desalivate mice is shown to be due to the assumption of a prandial pattern of drinking as a result of desalivation. This conclusion is based on experiments with wet mash which failed to show …

Porotic Hyperostosis In The Eastern Mediterranean, J. Lawrence Angel

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Porotic hyperostosis is bone expansion caused by hypertrophy of blood-forming marrow. It usually affects the skull diploë in adults and the long bones, face, skull vault, and sometimes the trunk in children, often with some thinning and porosity in the cortex and even the formation of a double cortex (bone-in-bone) in severe infections. Excess formation of red cells in hematogenous marrow can come from sicklemia or thalassemia (especially in the homozygous form), from other hemolytic anemias including unusual blood defects like spherocytosis, and from iron deficiency anemia. Presumably hookworm, amebiasis and other dysenteries, endemic malaria, and even high-altitude anoxia can …

Paleoepidemiology Of Infectious Disease In The Dickson Mounds Population, John Lallo, George J. Armelagos, Jerome C. Rose

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The major focus of paleopathology has been the delimiting of disease in time and space. Information about the history of specific diseases is the objective of many of these studies. While the chronological and geographical dimensions of paleopathology contribute significantly to our knowledge of disease, there are limits to this approach, which often fails to consider the interaction of biology and culture in the disease of prehistoric populations.

Yawslike Disease Porcesses In A Louisiana Shell Mound Population, Louise M. Robbins

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Human skeletal remains have been recovered from prehistoric and early historic sites in Louisiana with some degree of regularity for the past 75 years and on an irregular basis for the last 300 years. During his explorations of aboriginal sites throughout the Lower Mississippi River Valley, Moore made a special effort to collect skeletal specimens for shipment to the US National Museum at the Smithsonian Institution. A less well-known fact is that he also collected pathological specimens for shipment to the Army Medical Museum at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC. An unfortunate aspect of the Moore recovery technique, however, …

Paleoepidemiology Of Degerative Joint Disease, Robert D. Jurmain

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In order to contribute significantly to the description and understanding of human disease, paleoepidemiology must first recognize requirements which epidemiologists have long considered essential: 1) that the populations sampled are relevant to a set of specific hypotheses concerning a particular set of diseases: 2) that an adequate sample is employed to accurately represent the whole population: and 3) that wherever possible, sex and age parameters are accurately controlled. Given a specific set of hypotheses worthy of being tested, paleoepidemiology can be used not only to describe the distribution of significant human diseases, but also to help untangle and explain their …

Management Of Carcinoma Of The Kidney And Urinary Bladder, Warren W. Koontz Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Tumors of the upper urinary tract constitute 1% to 2% of all cancers, and each year 11,000 new cases are diagnosed in the United States. Approximately half of these patients have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Hypernephroma, or renal cell carcinoma, was first described in 1863 by Grawitz. These tumors arise from tubular epithelial cells and are correctly termed renal cell carcinoma or renal cell adenocarcinoma. There is evidence that further identifies the cell of origin as being from the proximal convoluted tubular epithelium. There does not appear to be a specific racial or ethnic incidence although it …

Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate: The Rationale And Role For Radiotherapy In Its Management, Tapan A. Hazra

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Until recently the treatment of carcinoma of the prostate was limited either to radical prostatectomy by the perineal or retropubic route, or to hormonal manipulation. Approximately 5% of all patients with this disease are suitable candidates for radical surgery. Hormonal manipulation is palliative in nature and is generally used when there is evidence of metastatic disease (in about 50% of patients). There thus remains a group of patients (40% to 45%) in whom the disease is localized, yet too extensive for surgical treatment, for whom definitive radiotherapy can play a major role.

Management Of Acute Glomerulonephritis, Donald Oken

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Glomerulonephritis is responsible for over one half of all cases of end-stage chronic renal failure and, in its most fulminant form, is a cause of acute, irreversible renal failure. Electron microscopy and immunofluorescent studies together with newly recognized clinical associations have revealed a wide variety of histologic subgroups and myriad etiologies for what was once regarded as a single, simple entity. The addition of electron microscopy has lent an entirely new dimension to the delineation of glomerulonephritis subtypes and offers a more reasonable approach to the search for treatment of these subtypes. It is, after all, not unreasonable to suppose …

Male Infertility: The Clinical Aspects Of Evaluation And Management, J. William Mcroberts

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

At a time when limiting family size has become of national interest, increasing numbers of married couples are moving in a different direction – to overcome infertility and conceive children. Reasonably reliable statistics indicate that approximately 3.5 million couples, or nearly 15% of those of childrearing age are subfertile. If one adds the cases of secondary infertility, in which a pregnancy or a miscarriage has already occurred in the marriage but is followed by years of difficulty conceiving another child, the magnitude of the infertility problem is indeed impressive. At the personal level, involuntary childless couples may suffer doubts about …

Respiratory Therapy Modalities In The Treatment Of Acute Respiratory Failure, James A. L. Mathers Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Rapid advances have been made in the field of respiratory therapy in the past several years, resulting in an increasing sophistication and range of application. Properly applied, these modalities have led to significantly increased survival in patients with acute respiratory failure and a decreased morbidity among individuals with chronic pulmonary insufficiency. It is the purpose of this article to put into perspective respiratory therapy techniques and their application in the treatment of acute respiratory failure. To this end, we may divide respiratory therapy into five categories: 1) oxygen delivery, 2) airway hygiene, 3) expansion therapy (lung inflation), 4) artificial airways, …
