Susceptibility Of Clinical Isolates Of Bacteria To Cefamandole, Cefoxitin And Cephalothin, R. Del Busto, A. Suarez, E. Quinn, D. Pohlod

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The in vitro susceptibility was determined of 274 isolates to cephalothin and two new antibiotics, cefamandole and cefoxitin. Cefamandole was comparable to cephalothin in preventing growth of cultures of the gram positive organisms except for penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which was more sensitive to cephalothin. Cefamandole was more active than cephalothin against all the gram negative bacteria including Haemophilus influenzae and in addition it was active against many strains of Enterobacter sp. Cefoxitin was less active than cephalothin against the gram positive organisms but it was more active against most of the gram negative bacteria. In addition. It was active against …

The Association Of Acute Cerebellar Encephalopathy And Neuroblastoma, M. Reza Jahadi, John G. Whitcomb, Ratnaker Kini, Robert H. High

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Acute cerebellar encephalopathy is a rare neurological disorder associated with neuroblastoma and is characterized by ataxia, somatic myoclonus and opsoclonus. The pathogenesis which underlies the relationship between the two conditions is obscure. One patient with neuroblastoma and acute cerebellar encephalopathy Is reported. The occurrence of neuroblastoma and acute cerebellar encephalopathy In this case may be coincidental but, on the basis of frequent recent reports of this association, a possible relationship between these two entities is entertained. It is therefore recommended that all patients with acute cerebellar encephalopathy be surveyed for unapparent neuroblastoma. The search should include chest and skeletal X-rays, …

Immunological Aspects Of Neoplastic Diseases, V. Radhakrishna

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunological approach to neoplastic disease is gaining favor because malignant tumors are associated with immunodeficient states. Mesenchymal tumors have been seen in renal allograft recipients. The discovery of carcinoembryonic antigen, alfafetoprotein and other protein antigens associated with malignant diseases are other factors. Spontaneous regression of malignant neoplasm has been attributed to an effective immunologic process in the host. Identification of tumor specific antigens may explain these spontaneous tumor regressions. It may not be too optimistic to expect tumor vaccine of some sort within the next few years. B.C.G. and other nonspecific immunostimulants are under investigation for treatment of malignant …

Productivity Of The Roll-Streak Method To Perform Anaerobic Bacteriology In The Routine Clinical Laboratory, Thomas R. Neblett

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Data presented are derived from one year of performing routine clinical anaerobic bacteriology by the roll-streak tube method. 826 specimens from 1508 (54.8%) contained anaerobes. 162 specimens were polymicrobic (19.6%) and contained 528 strains of a total of 1051 isolated (50.2 %). 479 blood specimens contained 525 strains of anaerobes. Propionibacterium, considered a contaminant, occurred 209/210 times in blood as the sole isolate. Bacteroides occurred alone or polymicrobically 308 times and comprised 54.7% of the blood isolates and 32.5% of the total anaerobic genera isolated. Clostridium, Peptococcus and Fusobacterium were the next most frequently occurring anaerobes. The roll-streak method is …

Computer Assisted Electron Spin Resonance Spectral Analysis Of Trapped Radicals, Philip Mook Wah Law

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A set of general purpose FORTRAN IV programs have been written during this study to assist in the analysis of complex spectra. An interactive approach is adopted, utilizing the computer and graphics terminals of the Scientific Computation Facility at Loma Linda University. Some procedures carried out are inversion, coordinates scaling, smoothing, differentiation and integration, correction for slanting baseline, addition and subtraction, and spectral simulation.

As an application, the programs are used to assist in the study of free radicals in gamma-irradiated single crystals of 1,2,3,- benzene tricarboxylic acid dihydrate by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Is is found that the predominant …

The Effect Of Planned Physical Activities On Deficient Motor Skills In Head Start Preschool Children, Darlene L. Robinson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

During the past few years many physicians, nurses, psychologists, teachers, and physical educators have begun to place more emphasis upon the developmental problems of children. As an outgrowth of this, more attention has been given the child showing mild to moderate motor problems. As a result of these more subtle difficulties going unrecognized and untreated, children may suffer from learning disorders, lack of acceptance by teachers and peers, maladaptive behavior and feelings of low self-esteem (Cratty, 1970; Kiphard, -1970; and Ferinden, 1972).

The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether planned physical activities would aid in remediation and/or modification …

The Effects Of Topically Applied Citric Acid On Periodontally Diseased Root Surfaces, John S. Garrett

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The goal of reconstructive periodontal therapy is new connective tissue attachment to periodontally diseased root surfaces. Recently Register (1973) and Register and Burdick (1975) have reported accelerated reattachment and cementogenesis when citric acid was applied to surgically created root surface defects. There are apparently no reports in the literature regarding the effects of citric acid on periodontally diseased root surfaces. This study was designed to determine the effects of topically applied citric acid on periodontally diseased root surfaces using the scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopes.

The Treatment Timing Of Dolicofacial, Retrognathic Facial Patterns, George B. Clarke Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The general consensus among orthodontists today is that the dolicofacial, retrognathic patient can present one of the most challenging problems for conventional orthodontic therapy. It is often stated that many of these patients will have more mandibular opening rotation during orthodontic treatment than the mesofacial or brachyfacial patient. This opening rotation is compounded when the use of cervical traction and Class 11 mechanics are incorporated into the treatment plan. Because of the problems involved with the treatment of these types of patients, it has been suggested in the literature that there may be an ideal age to start orthodontic therapy …

The Functional Stress Analysis Of Post Reinforcement, Robert V. Bravin

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Research was undertaken in order to functionally test the reinforcement capabilities of several commonly used, standard manufactured posts. One hundred and ten maxillary lateral incisors were mounted in plastic, reinforced with the posts at different levels, and then restored with standardized crowns. These teeth along with control groups, were then placed in a custom, mounting jig which properly positioned them for the stress testing. The forces required for fracturing these teeth were recorded and subsequently analyzed.

The statistical analysis of the experimental results demonstrated that posts do not reinforce teeth as supposed; they may, in fact, weaken them. Analysis also …

Immuno-Histochemical Method For Demonstration Of Lactic Dehydrogenase "M" Subunits In Rat Skeletal Muscle, Kidney And Peripheral Nerve, Luis M. Bustos-Arango

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Immunolocalization of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) rrM'‘' sub units has been achieved using paraformaldehyde vapor phase fixation of freeze-dried sections. An antiserum to monkey LDH-M^ was found to cross react with rat LDH-M subunits. The fibers of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles which are stained using the immuno-peroxidase procedure do not stain in the presence of 4 M urea in the conventional method. In kidney, the collecting tubules are the structures which stain most intensely with the immuno-peroxidase procedure and in peripheral nerve both the Schwann cells and axons stain. The nuclei of muscle fibers. kidney tubular cells and Schwann cells …

Evaluation Of A Precision Filing Test For Predicting Dental Technic Performance, Douglass Roberts

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A precision filing test involving the reduction of a steel cylinder to a perfect cube with the use of a hand file and bench vise was devised as a diagnostic tool for the early detection of freshman students having technic difficulties. The test was administered to 188 freshman dental students in three classes at Loma Linda University, School of Dentistry. Subjective and objective scores were then statistically compared with subsequent technic and clinic grades of the students. The simple linear correlations between the predictor test variable and criterion grades were statistically significant for one class and for the combined classes …

The Prediction Of Circumferential Tooth Measurements As An Aid In Orthodontic Banding, Roland D. W. Neufeld

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A correlation was established among the circumferential measurements of the teeth in a given individual. The maxillary central incisor was selected as the predictor tooth to predict the remaining teeth in the set. The circumferences of the teeth were predicted within + two band sizes 69% of the time. Agreement in prediction percentages was found using measurements taken intraorally.

Gingival Condition In Areas Of Minimal And Appreciable Widths Of Keratinized Gingiva, Myles C. Miyasato

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This investigation evaluated the gingival condition of areas with minimal (less than or equal to 1.0 millimeter) and appreciable (greater than or equal to 2.0 millimeters) widths of keratinized gingiva.

Sixteen dental, dental hygiene, and dental assisting students and dental faculty who had contralateral or unilateral areas of minimal and appreciable widths of keratinized gingiva on the mid-buccal surface of mandibular bicuspids were examined. Gingival exudate, plaque, gingival inflammation based on color change and/or swelling and bleeding on probing were evaluated. The results showed that all areas examined were plaque free. Three of 32 areas showed clinical gingival inflammation and …

The Effect Of Pre-Admission Crisis Nursing Intervention On The Anxiety Level Of Elderly Persons On Admission To A Nursing Home, Doreen C. K. Lee

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The experimental study attempted to determine whether pre-admission crisis nursing intervention had any effect on the level of anxiety of elderly people when they were transferred from an acute hospital to a nursing home.

The literature review related to trends in numbers of nursing homes and in the increase in longevity. Several articles indicated that the aged, as a group, lacked power to alter their situations. The need for patients to express their feelings and participate in their own decisions was stressed in various studies. Other theories discussed theoretical aspects and goals of crisis intervention. Several articles suggested that crisis …

A Comparative Study Of The Planned Use Of Touch To Enhance The Self Esteem Of The Pregnant Adolescent, Una Marie Reeves

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Two groups of pregnant adolescents were compared in a study of the hypothesis that the use of planned touch would enhance the self esteem of the pregnant adolescent. The girls studied were enrolled in a school for the pregnant minor, established by the San Bernardino County Schools system, in a metropolitan area of San Bernardino, California.

The control group was composed of seven and the experimental group of twelve pregnant adolescents, ranging in age from fifteen through seventeen. The Q Sort technique was used as the tool with which to measure the self esteem of both groups. Two preliminary sorts …

Hallucinogens: A Cause Of Convulsive Ergot Psychoses, Sylvia Dahl Winters

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Ergotism with vasoconstriction and gangrene has been reported through the centuries. Less well publicized are the cases of psychoses associated with convulsive ergotism. Lysergic acid amide a powerful hallucinogen having one.-tenth the hallucinogenic activity of LSD-25 is produced by natural sources. This article attempts to show that convulsive ergot psychoses are mixed psychoses caused by lysergic acid amide or similar hallucinogens combined with nervous system lesions secondary to vasoconstrictive effects of ergotoxine.

Systematic Nursing Management Of University Students With Infectious Mononucleosis, Lillian N. Yelton

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Infectious Mononucleosis has been one of the most misdiagnosed entities in medicine. Its ability to mimic other diseases and the abundance of misconceptions about it have long confused both diagnosis and treatment. Since there is still no specific drug to combat this disease. patients with characteristic symptoms are treated symptomatically for the period of extended convalescence. This study was carried out to explore the possible effects of systematic nursing management on Infectious Mononucleosis patients, in order to evaluate those things that significantly influence the patient’s course of illness and recovery, in a university outpatient health service.

The hypothesis formulated was: …

The Effect Of Programmed Instruction About Pacemakers Given In The Hospital Setting On The Immediate And Delayed Retention Of Information On Patients With Permanent Cardiac Pacemakers, Ann Ekroth, Eileen Zorn

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A convenience sample of nineteen patients composing group A, hospitalized for initial placement of permanent cardiac pacemakers, was studied. A programmed instructional test was prepared by the investiga- tors for this population. The question under study was, does programmed instruction for pacemaker patients affect immediate and delayed recall of information? Patients were pre-tested, presented with the programmed instruction package and given a post-test immediately upon completion of the package. They were retested later to evaluate retention level. An IQ test was administered at the same time as the pre-test. Statistical analysis using t-tests indicated significant differences between pre-test scores and …

Effects Of Cariogenic And Noncariogenic Diets On The Concentration Of The Parotid Hormone Releasing Factor In Rat Hypothalami, Melva Joan Brown

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Hypothalamic and cortical extracts from various cariogenically grouped rats which had been maintained on either a Purina diet or a high sucrose diet (HSD) for three months were infused intravenously into 28 days old rats to determine if there was a titer of parotid hormone releasing factor (PRF) capable of facilitating fluid movement (FM) in the teeth. The hypothalamic and cortical extracts obtained from Purina-fed rats with 0-caries and the hypothalamic extracts from BSD-fed rats conclusively demonstrated FM stimulatory ability. Other Purina-fed groups were essentially biologically ineffective, however, extracts from HSD-fed caries groups including scores 11-40 demonstrated extremely potent FM …
