The Effects Of Chronic Anaerobic Infection On Atherosclerosis In Rabbits, Janet Smitheran Bissell

Theses and Dissertations

Arterial disease is virtually a universal entity in man. Some cultures, such as the African Bantus have very little in the way of vascular lesions, while in the United States and other industrialized nations atherosclerosis affects a large segment of the population. With this in mind it is not hard to understand why ischemia, or arteriosclerotic heart disease, is second only to cardiovascular diseases in general as the major cause of death in the United States (4, 42).

Ruffer (112) noted the presence of arterial lesions in Egyptian mummies dating back 3,400 years. The presence of atherosclerotic lesions has also …

Sexual Adjustment After Myocardial Infarction, Brenda Hove Long

Theses and Dissertations

"Cardiovascular diseases claim more American lives than all other causes of death combined,”¹ as stated in the American Heart Association's Heart Facts 1975. In 1972, it was estimated that 1,036,560 individuals died of cardiovascular disease; 683,100 of these were attributable to acute myocardial infarction.² In addition, an estimated 28,420,000 Americans have some type of cardiovascular disease at a cost of $20 billion annually.³ The figures ”bring home" a stalking reality; cardiovascular disease is epidemic in this country, the incidence and ramifications of which make it an ever-present threat to all Americans. The greatest threat is heart attack, …

Socioeconomic And Medicare Status Differences Between Elderly Church Service And Lds Private Pay Hospital Patients, Edward L. Soper

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the kind and degree of differences that existed in the socioeconomic status and access to financial resources of elderly members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and to determine if differences existed between Church Service and private pay elderly hospital patients in economic status, type of housing, housing costs, marital status, sex, number and degree of access to children, savings and other assets.

Certain elderly members of the LDS Church were found to be significantly deficient economically because of inadequate income, low lifetime earnings and high medical expenses. Findings …

Effects Of Surveillance On Intrinsic Motivation, Richard Rajala

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Previous research indicates that explicit surveillance should induce subjects to attribute their performance at a task to the surveillance; hence, such subjects should persist to a lesser extent than subjects not exposed to such surveillance. Two forms of explicit surveillance were utilized: human and camera, as well as the appropriate opposites (human non- and camera non-surveillance). Subjects were directed to perform a model construction task, then were unobtrusively observed during a post-task “waiting period.” No difference in persistence was found for type of surveillance utilized. However, as predicted, subjects exposed to surveillance persisted less with the task materials than subjects …

The Use Of Dance As A Tool For Personality Integration, Barbara Throckmorton Rankin

Dissertations and Theses

This study is exploratory in nature. The material was highly individualistic and subjective, so I have deviated from the traditional empirical research approach. My purpose is to grasp what kind of person was attracted to attending a dance workshop. How does Halprin’s use of dance assist people in learning about themselves? What kinds of information do people learn about themselves through her dance process? What techniques does Halprin combine with the medium of dance to get results? Are people enhanced, or better integrated by the Halprin process? Finally, my intention was to be stimulated by the Halprin process to explore …

Patterns Of Fatty Acid Release From Endogenous Substrates By Human Platelet Homogenates And Membranes, A Derksen, P Cohen

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

We describe a method for measuring the release of fatty acids from endogenous substrates of human platelet homogenates and membranes. The method depends on the availability of lipids whose fatty acids are odd-chained and therefore suitable as internal reference compounds that, at the time of lipid extraction, can be added to an incubation to permit subsequent quantification of the content of free fatty acids or fatty acids esterified to specific lipids. We found four types of lipolytic activities in human platelets. In homogenates at pH 4.0 a triglyceride lipase operated as shown by the synchrony of triglyceride degradation and release …

Lymphangiography In Staging Carcinoma Of The Prostate. A Comparison With Operative Findings, Joseph C. Cerny, Malcolm Weckstein, Riad Farah

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pedal lymphangiography was performed In 30 patients who subsequently underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy, and radical pelvic lymphadenectomy. In 24 of 30 patients, lymphangiograms correctly predicted the presence or absence of nodal Involvement. In spite of certain limitations of the technique. It is considered an essential diagnostic study in patients considered for possible radical prostatic surgery, or in patients who may be candidates for external megavoltage radiotherapy to the prostate gland and its lymphatic drainage.

Palliative Urinary Diversion In Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate, R. C. Youngman, Joseph C. Cerny

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Ten patients with inoperable prostatic carcinoma, producing ureteral obstruction and azotemia, underwent palliative urinary diversion. Good quality survivals of two months to three years were obtained. These results compare favorably with the good results seer) In gynecologic neoplasm of the bladder, colon and breast. In selected cases of carcinoma of the prostate, palliative urinary diversion is indicated when the prospects exist for further benefit from chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Basic principles of radiation biology and radiation tolerance are reviewed. The Implications for radiation therapy of newer staging techniques in carcinoma of the prostate such as exploratory laparotomy, lymphangiography, and bone marrow acid prosphatase are discussed. A technique for treating the prostate and para-aortic lymph nodes in continuity is presented. Complications and results of therapy are discussed.
