Masking Patterns Of High Frequency Pure Tones, Judith Eide Widen

Dissertations and Theses

Previous investigations of masking have established that the action of the masking tone spreads upward in frequency, creating significantly more masking (threshold shift) above the masker frequency than below. It was the purpose of this study to investigate the masking pattern produced by high frequency pure tones, heretofore uninvestigated.

Masking patterns were obtained for nine normal hearing young adults utilizing the method of adjustment. The masking produced by an 11000 Hz pure tone of 40 dB sensation level was measured at three frequencies above and three frequencies below the masker frequency. Analysis of the data revealed a downward spread of …

Taxonomy Of The Genus Chloris (Gramineae), Dennis E. Anderson

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This study is a worldwide taxonomic treatment utilizing endomorphic characters such as cytology, histology, and embryology, in addition to the traditional exomorphic features. New chromosome numbers and histological information are reported. Relationships between Chloris and other genera in the Chlorideae are discussed. A total of 56 species is recognized in the genus; each is described and illustrated. Complete synonymies are included as well as a list of unidentified or rejected names. Distributions and maps are given for each species, along with lists of specimens examined during studies at various herbaria. Reports of field studies involving introgression among certain species are …

Granular Cell Myoblastoma Of The Larynx, Kamil Muzaffar, Iftikhar Salahuddin, Fred Averbuch, Richard D. Nichols

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Granuloma cell myoblastoma ofthe larynx is a relatively uncommon tumor. A review of the literature reveals only 52 cases reported. The lesion is a benign growth which is often asymptomatic, though most commonly associated with hoarseness. The treatment of choice is local surgical excision. Four successfully treated cases are reported. All four patients are Negro — three females and one male.

Phenotypic Males With 46, Xx Karyotype: Report Of Two New Cases, G. R. Rubio, Lester Weiss, J. F. Nunez, M. Saeed Uz Zafar

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Two sex chromatin positive phenotypic males were found to have 46, XX karyotypes. Both had small testes and elevated gonadotropins with low testosterone levels. Semen analysis could not be obtained but one man claimed to have a daughter. In one patient, mosaicism was suggested by the finding in a single cell of a chromosome morphologically resembling a Y. A second cell line was not found in the other patient. Possible explanations for the development of a male phenotype in the absence of demonstrable Y chromosome include the existence of two cell lines or mosaicism, an autosomal sex determining gene and …

Removal Of An Intra-Abdominal French Catheter Through The Laparoscope, Asghar Afsari

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Use of refined instruments for the removal of an intra-abdominal foreign body has enhanced the indication for operative laparoscopy. In particular instances, laparoscopy has proven more advantageous than laparotomy. This case report illustrates removal of an intra-abdominal rubber catheter via a laparoscopic procedure with a double puncture technique.

Correction Of D-Loop, D-Transposition Of The Great Arteries And Sub-Pulmonary Stenosis With A Dacron Conduit And Stented Porcine Xenograft Valve, Lorenzo Gonzalez-Lavin, Gordon M. Folger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Total correction of transposition of the great arteries and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction has become feasible in recent years. Certain modifications are needed, however, to improve the long term function of the valved conduit required in the procedure. A stented porcine xenograft valve, sutured into a woven Dacron tubular graft, was used successfully in the total correction of such a malfunction. The patient described is the first so treated at the Henry Ford Hospital. The main advantage of this technique is its practicality. Both Dacron tubular grafts and stented porcine xenograft valves are commercially available. This approach is applicable …

Position-Dependent Pleural Friction Rub, Thomas L. Connolly

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The art of physical examination is often forgotten by clinicians in their haste to depend on laboratory tests. This paper described a helpful way to diagnose pleurisy in someone who should have it according to the history. Auscultation of the chest in the supine and lateral decubitus positions will occasionally facilitate the detection of a pleural friction rub when conventional examinations may not do so. Two patients are described in whom this method was used.

Greenhouse Fungicide — Environmental Carcinogen?, Marvin D. Anderson, Herbert S. Rosenkranz

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A simple screening method, in which a bacterial mutant deficient in its ability to repair DNA, was used to detect genetic damage from a widely-used fungicide. The finding strengthens the suspicion that it may be a potent human carcinogen. The unique role of the physician in eliciting a history of exposure from a patient with cancer is emphasized in the case report.

The Nutritive Value And Supplementation Of Ogi (Pap), The Major Nigerian Weaning Food, Elizabeth E. Gyaami

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of ogi, which is the national weaning food in Nigeria, and to supplement it with indigenous foods that are easily produced in Nigeria, available in the local market, locally used, and within the economic capacity of the people. The protein content of corn and ogi was determined by the Kjeldahl method and the amino acid content was determined by ionexchange chromatography. The quality of the foods was evaluated by the rat growth method and the protein efficiency ratio (PER).

Ogi and com, from which ogi is made, contained essentially …

Intelligibility Of Speech Compared Through Two Limiter Compression Circuits, Lee M. Odell

Dissertations and Theses

Hearing aid manufacturers commonly engineer automatic gain control (AGC) circuits which are aimed at reducing sound tolerance problems and improving speech intelligibility among wearers. The most common type of AGC engineered is one utilizing a fast attack time. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of both fast and slow attack times on the intelligibility of speech. Twenty-four normal hearing subjects listened to sixty pre-recorded sentences through two types of hearing aid circuits. Thirty sentences were modified by a fast attack AGC circuit, and thirty sentences were modified by a slow attack AGC. The subjects marked one of …

Physicians And Surgeons--The Expanding Role Of The Physician's Assistant, Joseph S. Beeson

West Virginia Law Review

The shortage of health care professionals in West Virginia today is a matter of grave concern, especially to inhabitants of rural areas where professional medical care is often nonexistent. Statistics are indicative of the problem, but do not reveal the entire picture. For example, in the United States today, there are approximately 171 physicians per 100,000 population. In West Virginia, each 100,000 persons is served by only 111 physicians. This figure alone is cause enough for concern, but the seriousness of the situation is more accurately indicated by the distribution of the physician population. West Virginia is primarily a rural …
