Herbals : The Vade Mecum Of The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, William G. Peacher M.D.

The Courier

Claus Nissen, in his book, Herbals of Five Centuries, 1958, defines a herbal as a book on medicinal plants which describes their appearance, gathering and preparation, contains notes concerning their preservation and storage, and finally provides the inclusion of data about their indication and dosage. The word "herb" was first used around 1500 to differentiate a plant with medicinal properties from an ordinary plant. Actually, manuscripts surviving from remote antiquity indicate a knowledge of this subject. With the advent of printing and advances in wood and metal engraving, the herbal became the indispensable reference book for physicians, apothecaries and the …

The Surgical Approach To Problems Of Sexual Identification, Howard W. Jones Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

While transsexualism is a disorder which seems to affect both anatomical sexes, the gynecologist plays his principal role in the therapy of the male transsexual, i.e., the anatomical male who considers the difficulty to be that of a female psyche trapped within a male body. It is only with these male patients with a female gender orientation that this discussion will deal.

An Ounce Of Prevention, Nancy G. Witt

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, we have found that an educational and behavioral approach has been most effective in correcting maladaptive behavior in children, and complete success is only limited by our own creativity. We cannot advocate behavior modification for all children because neither we nor our children should adapt to an ineffective educational system. Improvement in programming in both academic and social skills must be of primary emphasis in prevention. We must concentrate our best minds and personnel in the preschool and primary school years. As the child learns to accept the consequences of his behavior, the necessary social skills to meet …

Current Knowledge Of Gonadotrophin Releasing Factor(S), Emanuel M. Bogdanove

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

What I want to discuss are not the potential therapeutic or diagnostic uses of these newly available compounds, which are really very speculative, but certain features of the physiological control system in which these compounds are thought to play key roles. Any rational system of therapeutics or prophylaxis involving these releasing factors, or their derivatives, must be based on adequate understanding of (1) the physiological roles of these compounds, (2) how these roles may be altered by disease, and (3) the effects specific disturbances of the control system(s) in which they operate can be expected to have on reproductive processes.

Anesthesia, 1972, C. Ronald Stephen

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Implied in a title such as this one is an obligation to determine the present "state of the art," or science, if you will, and to elucidate, in a manner of speaking, where we are, why we are, and in which direction we may be going. To perform such a function in perspective, we must return to the past. Then one wonders, how far into the past? How much of the past is really relevant to today? Our reflection will go back thirty years to 1942, in Montreal, Canada, to the sphere of McGill University.

Oxygen Toxicity And Anesthesia: A Ten-Year Review And Overview, John Q. Durfey

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Anesthesia personnel will become increasingly involved in situations related to such exposures to oxygen at high pressure (OHP) such as will be found in the new fields of industry and agriculture now being developed underwater, sometimes at great depths. It is the responsibility of the specialty to continue basic and clinical research in these areas and to expand clinical teaching to encompass the management of related problems.

Some Therapeutic Considerations In Diabetic Retinopathy, Walter J. Geeraets, William W. Carroll

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

With the increasing emphasis on photocoagulation therapy in diabetic retinopathy, its potentials and, most probably, the beneficial effects such therapeutic modality may have in arresting or even improving diabetic retinopathy, one should realize the limitations, the present lack of factual knowledge, and the theories underlying such treatment.

Myocardial Infarction After General Anesthesia, Sait Tarhan, Emerson A. Moffitt, William F. Taylor, Emilio R. Giuliani

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Few statistics are available about the incidence of primary or recurrent myocardial infarction after anesthesia. Mortality rates and their relation to age and sex, and to type and duration of anesthesia in existing reports, are based on a relatively small number of cases. This review attempts to provide additional data on these questions by analyzing a 2-year experience in a large anesthetic practice.

Child Psychiatry, Walter Draper

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The first annual Spring Forum for Child Psychiatry was held in 1963. Although interest in the establishment of programs for children was running high in many civic groups, there was little knowledge about how these programs could be organized and what they could accomplish. The first Forums served the purpose of sharing with the public and with other mental health professionals the experience and knowledge being gathered at the Virginia Treatment Center for Children. Later Forums have provided a means whereby other groups having a vested interest in children and their welfare might express their views, proposals, or the results …

Problems In The Delivery Of Health Care, Kinloch Nelson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The news these days is generally bad. Much of it is concerned with the inadequacies in the provision of medical care: its great cost; the shortage of health care personnel; and the misdistribution of the personnel available. All are blamed on the present system, or "non-system."

The Relationship Of Motility Problems To Reading Problems, Keith Mcneer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, the ophthalmologist's role in caring for dyslectic children is simply caring for ocular problems. It is rather easy to separate the ocular defects from the nebulous concepts of dyslexia or learning disability. It is also easy to make the decision when and to what degree ophthalmological care is indicated with a clear and attainable goal in sight. Eye exercises or so-called visual training have virtually no value. Practically, the ophthalmologist's most valuable tool in caring for dyslexia is honesty about his results.

Internal Control Of Cash In The Medical Office, William Mccormick Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Most individuals have an aversion to a discussion of internal control because the need for such a safeguard stems from an aspect of human behavior we would prefer to ignore. Yet internal control is a small necessity for most organizations, large and small.

Fetal Abnormalities Of Metabolic Origin, Peter Mamunes

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The subject of my discussion is prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders of a metabolic rather than a chromosomal nature. Whereas the chromosomal defects are the result of either the transmission of a translocated chromosome from a single parent to its offspring or an error in meiosis or mitosis, almost all metabolic disorders are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Therefore, except in rare instances, the only clue to the possible presence of an inborn error of metabolism (IEM) in the fetus is that a previous child of the parents has had the disorder. This history identifies both mother and father …

Electronic Monitoring Of The Fetus, S. Edward Davis Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Although the fetal electrocardiograph (FECG), was recorded earlier in this century, utilization of the electrical activity of the heart for fetal assessment is really a procedure of approximately the last two decades. The fetal electrocardiograph obtained from the maternal abdomen can be used to detect fetal life, multiple pregnancies, and it can be extracted from the background noise by means of computer averaging techniques in order to study the electrical signal itself.

The Rhetoric Of Garner Ted Armstrong, Stephen George Dick

Dissertations and Theses

Garner Ted Armstrong is fast becoming a well known religious and political commentator. The purpose of this thesis was to describe and discuss the techniques and characteristics of Mr. Armstrong's rhetoric. The question to be answered was "What are the characteristics of a successful religious broadcaster?" The method used-in the selection of the speeches to be used in this study consisted of selection a number of speeches (56), then breaking them down into theme categories. After analysis, there were eleven categories. One speech was selected from each category, and these eleven speeches were the speeches that were used in the …
