Patients As Subjects For Research: Ethical Dilemmas For The Primary Care Clinician-Investigator, Susan F. Slatkoff, Peter Curtis, Ann L. Coker May 1994

Patients As Subjects For Research: Ethical Dilemmas For The Primary Care Clinician-Investigator, Susan F. Slatkoff, Peter Curtis, Ann L. Coker

CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles

Background: Past studies suggested an association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). In 1987, University of North Carolina (UNC) Hospitals Family Practice Center clinicians were approached for a control population to study this association. Methods: One hundred fives patients attending the UNC Hospitals Neoplasia Clinic with biopsy-proven CIN 2 or 3 and 268 control patients attending the UNC Family Practice Center for a routine Papanicolaou smear were enrolled in this case-control study. Case and control patients consented to having an additional cervical specimen taken and to being interviewed. The cervical specimens were classified by the Southern blot …

Oral Contraceptives And Reproductive Cancers: Weighing The Risks And Benefits, Ann L. Coker, Susan Harlap, Judith A. Fortney Jan 1993

Oral Contraceptives And Reproductive Cancers: Weighing The Risks And Benefits, Ann L. Coker, Susan Harlap, Judith A. Fortney

CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles

The hypothetical incidence of reproductive cancers resulting from oral contraceptive use was estimated in several models comparing the cumulative lifetime incidence of cancer of the breast, cervix, ovary and endometrium expected in pill users with the incidence expected in nonusers. The potential number of cancer-free days that would be gained or lost by pill users was com- pared with similar estimates among nonusers. If five years or more of pill use were associated with a 20% increase in the risk of breast cancerbeing diagnosed before age 50, a 20% increase in cervical cancer risk and a 50% reduction in the …

Plasma Native And Peptidase-Derivable Met-Enkephalin Responses To Restraint Stress In Rats. Adaptation To Repeated Restraint, K. Pierzchala, G. R. Van Loon Mar 1990

Plasma Native And Peptidase-Derivable Met-Enkephalin Responses To Restraint Stress In Rats. Adaptation To Repeated Restraint, K. Pierzchala, G. R. Van Loon

Internal Medicine Faculty Publications

Met-enkephalin and related proenkephalin A-derived peptides circulate in plasma at picomolar concentration as free, native pentapeptide and at nanomolar concentration in cryptic forms. We have optimized conditions for measurement of immunoreactive Met-enkephalin in plasma and for generation by trypsin and carboxypeptidase B of much greater amounts of total peptidase-derivable Met-enkephalin in plasma of rats, dogs, and humans. Free Met-enkephalin (11 pM) is constituted by native pentapeptide and its sulfoxide. Characterization of plasma total Met-enkephalin derived by peptidic hydrolysis revealed a small amount (38 pM) of Met-enkephalin associated with peptides of molecular mass less than 30,000 D, and probably derived from …

Simple Capsule Pneumograph, Steve S. Kraman Mar 1988

Simple Capsule Pneumograph, Steve S. Kraman

Internal Medicine Faculty Patents

A capsule pneumograph includes an electret microphone connected to a capsule chestpiece attached to a sleeping subject. The output of the microphone is connected to the input of a recorder or monitor in order to provide a system for the detection of respiratory movements in subjects during polysomnographic sleep monitoring. A tube connecting the capsule chestpiece to the microphone functions as a low pass filter to pass only low frequency signals in the range of respiratory movements from the chestpiece to the microphone.

Multiple Function Intubation Apparatus And Method, Jane A. Norton, Diana L. Twyman, A. Byron Young, Robert Rapp Sep 1986

Multiple Function Intubation Apparatus And Method, Jane A. Norton, Diana L. Twyman, A. Byron Young, Robert Rapp

Surgery Faculty Patents

An apparatus and its method of use are provided allowing lavage, sump and enteral feeding operations with only one intubation. The apparatus includes a first tube having two distinct passageways. One of these passageways completely contains a second, feeding tube during intubation. Once the first tube is in place in the patient, the second tube is extended from the first tube so as to enter the stomach. The extension of the second tube opens ports in the first passageway of the first tube, thereby allowing sump or lavage treatment with the second passageway of the first tube serving as an …
