Effects Of A Series Of Nurse-Patient Interactions On Multiple Sclerosis Patients, Lynne Campbell

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of the study was to learn whether a series of nurse-patient interactions would result in changed psychophysiologic functioning in multiple sclerosis patients.

Psychophysiologic relationships were described in the theoretical framework. Literature, reviewed in the areas of disease description and psychotherapeutic approaches to treatment, indicated that there is a high incidence of multiple sclerosis in the United States; that symptoms often include psychological alterations; that there is an emotional component to the illness; that these patients have a need for a psychotherapeutic relationship; and that psychotherapeutic approaches may have beneficial psychophysiologic effects.

Two groups of multiple sclerosis subjects were …

Bulletin No 3768 - Submitting Plants For Disease Identification, M D. Marcley

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

THERE are several important points to remember when submitting plant material for disease identification by the Department of Agriculture's Plant Pathology Branch.

Firstly it is very important to collect a suitable sample because it is very difficult to determine the cause of a plant disease by looking at a completely dead plant. The sample should include the entire plant (before it is completely dead) including roots and soil. Then all the effects of the disease can be seen. For example leaf yellowing, dead areas of the stem, collar rot, root rot, eelworm damage, and disease of the water and food …

Basic Pig Breeding, P Mcnamara

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

PROFITABLE pig raising depends on the tumoff of efficiently grown animals. Breeders should be selected for growth rate, and proper care of the breeding sow will ensure that her litters are large and healthy.

A rapid increase in the number of breeding sows in Western Australia suggests that some relatively inexperienced breeders may have started raising pigs. This article sets out the best pig breeding methods as a guide to beginners and a reminder to more experienced pig raisers.

A Note On The Probability Of Misclassifying Students On The Basis Of A Multiple Choice Examination, Walter H. Carter Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The students' ability to guess correctly questions on a multiple choice examination creates a problem in the determination of the number of questions the students actually knew. Therefore, it is not unlikely that mistakes will be made when grades are assigned. In this paper, a method for calculating the probability of misclassification of students as a result of a multiple choice test in which the assumption of a uniform guessing distribution is relaxed has been discussed and illustrated. To do this it is necessary to include on the examination several questions, related to the subject matter on which the students …

New Horizons In Psychiatry, James L. Mathis

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Psychiatrists have long held that there should be more psychiatry in general medicine, and the nonpsychiatric physicians have said that there should be much more medicine in psychiatry. Both groups have been perfectly correct and are being told by the consuming population that there must be more sociology in each of them. The future psychiatrist must and will work with his colleagues in medicine, not to achieve a utopia, but at least to approach this desirable situation in some degree.

Psychology Of Drug Abuse, John Buckman

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The history of drug abuse is as long as history. While all drugs are being abused, this paper has attempted only to elucidate some of the psychological reasons why the western adolescent might be attracted to excessive drug use or experimentation. There has grown in the past 8 years a great interest in drugs which produce an altered state of consciousness. It is the opinion of this writer that the adolescent years may be the worst years to experiment with the strong hallucinogens like LSD, mescaline, or psilocybin. The adolescent is already under enormous pressure, both from within and without, …

His Bundle Recordings, Onkar S. Narula

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

When we record atrial activity on the His bundle electrogram we are recording from the area of the atrium which is around the tricuspid valve, that is, the lower part of the right atrium. The normal range of conduction time from the region of the sinus node to the low right atrium is about 25 to 45 milliseconds.

Alternative Methods Of Grading One Or More Multiple Choice Examinations, S. J. Kilpatrick Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This paper describes the use of the standardized score in grading multiple choices examinations by computer. Since standardized scores make no allowance for guessing, it is recommended that the percent of questions known be used instead, and that a student who correctly answers significantly fewer than a predetermined number of questions be given a failing grade.

New Developments In Screening For Inborn Errors Of Metabolism, Peter Mamunes

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I have briefly outlined the PKU program in the State of Virginia and tried to demonstrate how this screening experience has disclosed the heterogeneity of the disease plus the need for an individualized approach to dietary control. I have applied the principles of mass screening to examine the feasibility of testing for other inborn errors and, on this basis, feel that galactosemia will soon next join with PKU. Mass screening for other aminoacidopathies will await more refined testing techniques and a definition of their incidence and mode of therapy. In the meantime, accumulated experience thus far mandates the establishment of …

Effect Of Freezing And Thawing On Uptake Of Amino Acids Into Human Erythrocytes, Richard Moore, Rita Parenti, I. Rena Bizios

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

ABSTRACT - The transport of "C-amino acids into human erythrocytes and into erythrocytes which had been frozen and thawed was studied experimentally. The relative rates of uptake were found to be (in decreasing order): phenylalanine, leucine, alanine, trythophan, and glycine. Freezing (using gycerol as the cryoprotective additive) and thawing had no significant effect on either the magnitude of the rate constants or on the order of the above relative rates of amino acid uptake into erythrocytes suspended in isotonic TRIS-HCl buffer.
