Selected nonionic surface active agents, incorporated in various
ointment bases, were applied to normal rabbit skin daily in an attempt
to determine their chronic toxicity. The dermatitic effects of these
surfactant preparations were evaluated by three methods: gross observation,
histological examination and biochemical techniques. The
results indicated that the tested...
A programmed unit on diabetes mellitus was written
and tested on three groups of students. These included a
class of licensed practical nurses taking a refresher
course in pharmacology, a class of third year pharmacy
students, and a class of first year students enrolled in
a three year nursing program....
Carnitine, acetylcarnitine, and long-chain acylcarnitine concentrations
were determined for heart, brain, and liver of chick
embryos during various stages of development. The total carnitine
concentration was approximately the same in all three organs and
showed only small variations during development. Acetylcarnitine
was not detected in any organ until the seventeenth...
Unit dose drug distribution systems have been established in a
number of hospitals during the past several years. Such systems show
promise in providing better and safer patient care. They also seem to
minimize the non-professional aspects of drug handling by nurses,
thus enabling them to spend more time with...
The purpose of this study was to ascertain to what degree, if
any, there was a difference of opinion among students, parents and
faculty in regard to student behavior as that behavior pertained to
general conduct, drug use, mischief, sex offenses, drinking, cheating
and theft.
The research study was conducted...
Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...
The activity of deoxyribose-phosphate aldolase was determined
in chick embryo brains, hearts and livers during the course of development.
Assays were made in the direction of synthesis of deoxyribose-5-phosphate. Low levels of activity in the brain and heart
remained constant throughout the course of development. Activity in
the liver expressed...
Medication error rates have long been a subject of interest
among the pharmaceutical, nursing, and medical professions. The
basic purpose of medication error studies has been to discover the
quantity and type of errors which exist, thus enabling the investigator
to evaluate the relative safety of various drug distribution
systems...
In order to assess the importance of RNA synthesis in the induction
and antibody-producing phases of immune responses, actinomycin
D was used to inhibit the primary and secondary in vitro immune
responses of mouse spleen cells against heterologous erythrocytes.
The presence of actinomycin D (0.1 or 0.125 μg /ml) throughout...
This is a fundamental study of the mechanism of protein particle
removal during flow through sandy soil. Mathematical models for
diffusion-adsorption and diffusion-convection-adsorption processes
were developed and compared with experimental data. An attempt was
made to calculate the distance over which the adsorption forces act.
The differential equation for the...
