Concentration Of Selected Constituents In The Blood Of Healthy Women 30 To 90 Years Of Age In Six North Central States, Ruth M. Leverton, Jean Pazur

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The hemoglobin, red cell, total and differential leukocyte, serum protein, calcium, phosphorus and glucose values of the blood of several hundred healthy women 30 to 92 years in six North Central States were determined as one phase of a regional study of nutritional status. The mean, standard deviation and the 95 percent range (mean plus or minus two standard deviations), are shown for each constituent measured. The values for these healthy women tend to be slightly lower than values given as standards in textbooks. Differences between age groups were not significant.

A Comparison Of Graduates From Two Types Of Nursing Programs, Glennis E. Burke

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to find out of graduates from a specific Associate in Arts degree program functioned as effectively in beginning positions in nursing in the first five months following graduation as graduates from a specific three-year diploma program.

The descriptive survey method of research was used to collect data on fourteen of the twenty-one 1959 graduates from an Associate in Arts degrees program and fifteen of the eighteen graduates from the three-year diploma program for the same year.

The pre-entrance test scores were used to find to find out if the two groups were comparable and …

Effect Of Isocaloric Unsaturated Fats On Serum Cholesterol Of Patients Treated With Hypocholesterolemic Agents, Yvonne Marie Hatley

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The effect of a high unsaturated-low saturated fat diet on serum cholesterol levels were studied. Subjects were clinic patients receiving the following hypocholesterolmeic agents: triparanol (MER-29), diildothyroacetic acid (Diac), dextrothyroxine (d-T₄) and 3-methoxy-16, alpha-methyl-1,3,5, (10)-estratriene-16 beta, 17 beta-diol (Manvene or Anvene).

Fifteen hypercholesterolemic patients, eleven of whom were diabetic, were placed on diets with prescribed amounts of unsaturated fat. The caloric distribution was 40 per cent carbohydrate, 20 per cent protein, and 40 per cent fat. The level of unsaturated fat was 70 per cent of the total fat.

Seventy-one per cent of the patients on the hypocholesterolemic …

Accuracy Of The Indirect Method Evaluated By Mercury Micromeasurement, Estol C. Pruett

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Although the indirect method for preparing dental castings has been in use for over forty-five years, very little information has appeared in dental literature relative to its accuracy. The development of a precise and quantitative method for determining the adaptation of wax patterns or castings was necessary before such an evaluation could be considered valid. It was felt the Mercury Micromeasurement test, devised in 1958 by Hollenback, should meet these requirements. A description of the test had been published. However, at the time the project was begun, no data had appeared in the literature.

In order to establish a standard …

Determinants Of Nursing Activities Of Graduate Nurses, Grace D. Scheresky

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to find out if nurses who were responsible for planning patient care functioned primarily on the basis of hospital routines and physicians' orders or on the basis of known patient needs.

The interview technique was use to obtain data about determinants of nursing activities of twenty-five head nurses and team leaders in three hospitals. The interview questions were focused on the nursing activities involved in planning the care of three patients selected by the nurses.

Data were collected and analyzed to answer questions about (1) the way in which nurses perceived patients' nursing problems, …

An Evaluation Of The Physical Properties Of Cohesive Gold (Mat And Foil), Earl W. Collard

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Methods and instruments were devised particularly for this research project on the physical properties of cohesive gold, whereby the following procedures were accomplished:

1. Cohesive gold can be annealed under controlled conditions.
2. The blow delivered by an automatic spring mallet, pneumatic mallet, and Electro-Mallet can be evaluated and controlled.
3. The condensing point can be stepped in accurate and controlled increments.
4. Increments of laminated gold can be used permitting a known thickness of foil beneath the condensing point at all times.
5. A standard analytical balance can easily be converted for specific gravity tests.
6. Specimens were tested for adaptation by air pressure while …

The Effect Of The Shave On Infection In Maternity Patients, Doris Christine Bethea

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to find out if the shave routinely received by maternity patients could be limited to the perineal area without increasing the incidence of infection among these patients. The experimental method, with the parallel group technique and a single variable, was used.

The study was conducted at two hospitals; the White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, California, called Hospital A; and the Washington Sanitarium and Hospital in Takoma Park, Maryland, referred to as Hospital B. Data were collected on ninety clinic patients at Hospital A and on two-hundred and one private patients at Hospital B. …

A Review Of Drug Addiction And A Study Of Its Relation To Carbohydrate Metabolism, Eppie Chung Hartsuiker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The specter of addiction eventually involves everyone of the community. It is a three-fold problem of socio-economic, psychological, and physiological factors. The least understood is the physiological or biochemical aspect of addiction.

It has been postulated that an upset in carbohydrate metabolism may be a biochemical cause of addiction. Several avenues were employed to investigate this possible cause of addiction.

1. A diet survey was conducted and revealed a greater consumption of refined carbohydrates, confections and alcoholic beverages in addicts.

2. Five-hour oral glucose tolerance tests were performed on 7 addicts and 12 non-addicts. These tests revealed that there were decreased glucose …

Aorto-Enteric Fistula Following Abdominal Aorta Surgery, Arnold A. Michals

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Forty-six aorto-enteric fistuiae following abdominal aorta surgery are here recorded. A number of these have never before been recorded in the literature. For the first time sixteen cases of these aorto-enteric fistulae that were subjected to surgical intervention have been tabulated. Twelve of these had definitive surgery either immediately or eventually. The definitive procedures are also tabulated.

An attempt was made to produce a fistula in dogs. Of twelve dogs, one died six months postoperatively of massive rectal hemorrhage due to an aortoduodenal fistula that followed the implantation of a Teflon vessel graft into the abdominal aorta. The cause of …

Application Of Knowledge Of Medications By Senior Students In A Selected School Of Nursing, Patricia H. Okimi

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The problem arose from the need to study the present method of pharmacology instruction in a selected school of nursing. "How much knowledge of medications do selected senior students have, and how do they apply their knowledge in the administration of medications?"

For this study, the normative survey approach was used as the method of research. Eleven senior students of nursing engaged in the administration of medications, as team leaders, were observed and questioned on two different occasions during one quarter of their school year. The tool of research used to collect data was an observation code sheet developed for …
