Platelet Immunology In Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura : A Review And Experimental Study, Albert Ross

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

[From the Introduction] Within the past decade, progress in immuno-hematology has extended beyond the study of the erythrocyte. The demonstration of antibodies to red cells in some cases of acquired hemolytic anemia and in erythroblastosis fetalis defined the hypothetical existence of analogous phenomena for leucocytes and platelets. Advancements in immunologic technique have elevated the importance of immune bodies in the etiology of several cytopenic blood disorders. Extensive research has been done to elucidate the presence and nature of an anti-platelet factor int he serum of patients with thrombocytopenic purpura. Evidence of such a serum factor has been found in three …

A Chromatographic, Autoradiographic And Actigraphic Analysis Of Thyroxine Metabolites In Rat Tissues And Their Correlation With Oxygen Consumption Values, John P. Mullooly

Master's Essays (1922 - )

The intellectual calm that prevailed in thyroid physiology on the basis of the concept that thyroxine was the thyroid hormone, was upset by the discovery and characterization of a new thyroid hormone in 1951 and 1952. In a brilliant series of experiments this new sub¬ stance, triiodothyronine, was found to be more potent and its action more rapid than thyroxine. Such observations had a salutary effect on thyroid physiology and stimulated a ferment of investigation of far-reaching consequence. Other thyroactive analogues of thyroxine and triiodothyronine have since been studied in an effort to elucidate the nature and mode of action …

The Effect Of Slowly Digesting Carbohydrates On Abnormal Glucose Tolerance Curves, Marie Klein

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This has been a study in which it was attempted to determine the effect of slowly digesting food on the glucose tolerance curves of patients who had abnormal blood sugar levels.

The experimental method was used. Patients were selected by criteria which included certain symptomology and background of diabetic history. Fifty-two patients were prepared for glucose tolerance tests by a diet predominating in rapidly digested carbohydrates. This diet contained food which is commonly used in the American diet. After following the diet for three days, blood samples were drawn during the fasting state, and the patient was then given glucose, …
