Initial Studies Of Isolated Kidney Perfusion, Stanley G. Dienst, Michael A. Krieg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Angiographic and gravametric studies of dog kidneys perfused with electrolyte, Dextran, or albumin solution are presented to demonstrate the possibility of extending organ preservation for transplantation without loss of function. Findings include a reduction in flow and weight gain with the nonprotein solutions and maintenance of flow with albumin solution. Gross changes of the perfused kidneys are also described.

A New Full Orifice Disc Valve For Mitral Replacement, Rodman E. Taber, Yasuharu Imai

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Because of dissatisfaction with certain features of the currently available ball and disc valve prostheses when implanted in patients with mitral stenosis and a small volume left ventricle, a full orifice discoid valve has been designed which avoids many of these shortcomings. The valve has been tested mechanically in a pulse duplicator and compared lo existing prostheses. High speed cine studies were used to evaluate turbulence. Implantation was carried out in animals. Evaluation by these various methods indicates that the valve is satisfactory for human implantation and may have significant advantages over other artificial valves when used in patients with …

Chronic Acute Hepatitis, Klaus Anselm

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The current literature concerning chronic acute hepatitis is reviewed. The clinical picture, morphology, laboratory data and etiology are discussed. It is pointed out that much work is still to be done toward fully understanding this disease. A program of treatment is suggested.

Decompressive Laminectomy In The Management Of Spinal Epidural Metastases, J. Speed Rogers, Robert S. Knighton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In a series of 60 patients undergoing decompression laminectomy for metastatic malignancy, the median survival was 3.3 months with 11 patients (18%) living for at least one year and ambulating during part of this survival period. Forty-three per cent of the group were able to ambulate for at least some period postoperatively. If a patient could ambulate preoperatively he had a two-thirds chance of ambulating afterwards; conversely, if he could not ambulate preoperatively. he had a two-thirds chance of not ambulating postoperatively. The lymphoma group had the best prognosis. Long lesions and highly vascular tumors fared poorly. Paralysis (as defined …

Eosinophils, Lawrence C. Sweet

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Despite the fact that the eosinophilic leukocyte has been known as a distinct entity for 123 years and has been the subject of extensive research and numerous scientific papers, its precise function remains an enigma. A diverse array of clinical conditions are known to be associated with eosinophilia but even here the role of this cell in the pathological process remains unknown. Recent experimenlal work suggests that allergens, antigens, antigen-antibody complexes, and components of complement may function as eosinophilotactic stimuli. Eosinophils phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes as well as a variety of particulate substances. Their granules have been identified as lysosomes and …

A Study Of The Relative Contributions Of Orally And Nasally Emitted Signals To Hyper-Nasal Speech, Milo Ellis Bishop

Speech and Hearing Sciences ETDs

The validity of The Oral Nasal Acoustic Ratio (Tonar) System as a means of obtaining data relevant to perceived nasality was established by comparing forward and backward play scale values with nasal/oral acoustic ratios computed by Tonar.

The acoustic characteristics of orally and nasally emitted signals and their relative contributions to the total speech signal were analyzed and considered within the framework of oral and nasal acoustic masking.

A passage free of nasal phonemes was read by 20 subjects with surgically repaired palatal clefts. A specially designed instrumentation system (Tonar) was used to separate the signals emerging from the oral …

The Effects Of Limited Training In Hypnosis Upon Reaction Time, Veronica Eskridge

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating the effects of limited training in hypnosis upon reaction time. More specifically, this study was conducted: (1) to find the immediate effect of a post-hypnotic suggestion for improvement upon simple reaction time responses of the preferred hand to a visual stimulus; and (2) to find the carry-over effect of the posthypnotic suggestion after three weeks with no further hypnosis, practice, or instruction.

Kinetic Studies Of The Cell Elongation Phenomenon In Etiolated Pisum Stem Segments, Grant M. Barkley

Masters Theses

The short-term growth response of etiolated pea stem segments (Pisum sativum L., var. Alaska) was investigated using a high-resolution growth recording device. The immediate effect of treatment with indoleacetic acid (IAA) is an inhibition of growth. This inhibition lasts about 10 minutes and then the rate of elongation rises abruptly to a new steady rate about 4 times the rate of elongation before auxin treatment. This rapid steady rate of elongation, however, continues for only about 22 minutes before declining suddenly to a lower steady rate of growth about 2 times the rate of elongation before the addition of auxin. …

Location And Relationships Of The Axes Governing Mandibular Condylar Movements : An Anatomical Research, Jean-Michel Cottè

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A practical method of research on cadaver specimen heads was designed from a systematic review of the existing literature in order to differentiate from conjecture the experimental proof of the axes of rotation of the condyles during mandibular border movements.

An anatomo-physiological study on eight human cadaver heads, using the gnathologic technique of Dr. R. Lee for recording mandibular movements, was done to study the intimate mechanism of the temporomandibular joints, with the hope of contributing support to this new method of recording.

It was established that rotational mandibular border movements are induced by hard structure topography of the temporomandibular …

The Effect Of Exercise On Metabolic Rate With Time In Overweight And Normal Weight Subjects, Roberta Jewell Keswick

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Previous studies in the Lome Linda University laboratory showed that obese subjects on an exercise program lost approximately one pound more per week as compared to a non-exercise group. Energy expenditure calculations of the exercise did not account for the total caloric deficit required to lose the additional pound. The present study was designed to investigate changes in BMR and metabolic rate with time for normal weight and overweight subjects involved in a practical exercise program. The relationship of changes in BMR and metabolic rate in coping with the problems of obesity were also studied.

Fifteen subjects, eight overweight and …

Mandibular Nerve Regeneration Through Solid And Canalized Bone And Plaster Grafts, Lawrence D. Day

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Utilizing an extra-oral approach and sterile technique, left mandibular ostectomy was performed on five miniature pigs. The segment removed was 3 cm long and included the inferior border, mandibular canal and, in some cases, apices of a molar tooth.

Bone and plaster grafts (one solid and one canalized of each) were used to fill these defects. The fifth was left with no graft.

The objective was to learn the effect of each of these procedures on regeneration of the mandibular nerve across the defect. It was hypothesized that canals through the grafts would facilitate regeneration.

X-rays were taken periodically. The …

The Effect Of A Patient-Counseling Film And Hygienist On The Oral Hygiene Of Junior High School Students, Leonard L. Espinda

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The effect of a single viewing of a patient-counseling film and a single instruction by a hygienist in producing changes in the oral hygiene of a group of school children 12 to 13 years of age was investigated. The subjects were divided into three experimental groups and one control group of twenty-one each.

A different method of oral hygiene instructions was given to each of the experimental groups. One group viewed the film, the second group was instructed by a hygienist, and the third group viewed the film and was instructed by the hygienist. The control group was not given …
