Acetaminophen has been safely used for analgesia for many years.
Literature suggests that a plasma acetaminophen level of 5μg/ml is necessary to
maintain analgesic relief in humans. Current dosing regiments are inconvenient (every
4-6 hours) and do not maintain this minimum plasma level. Simulations were
conducted to examine various doses...
Twenty mentally retarded teen-age girls living at Fairview Hospital and Training Center in Salem, Oregon, were selected to be included in this study. The purpose of the study was to attempt to determine if institutionalized mentally retarded teen-age girls are able to benefit through a class dealing with personal grooming...
The major purposes of the research were to determine whether
there were significant differences in breaking strength and elongation
of the following types of seams in a polyester double-knit fabric:
1. seams stitched with threads of (a) mercerized cotton, (b)
core-spun polyester/cotton, and (c) bonded nylon monocord.
2. seams stitched...
Purpose: The major purpose of this study was to determine the readability of selected patient education materials for older adults using the cloze procedure as a criterion. Actual cloze test scores from three selected passages on hypertension were compared with the Coleman readability scores on those same passages. Age and...
The purpose of this study was to obtain information about clothing acquisition practices of low-income mothers. An interview questionnaire was designed to obtain information about the clothing sources perceived as available to these women, the sources of clothing used, the sources of information used, the preplanning practices used, and demographic...
A preliminary study was conducted to establish baseline data for emu artificial egg incubation and emu chick growth and management. Three experiments examined factors affecting hatchability of emu eggs that occur prior to and during artificial incubation. Characteristics analyzed were egg storage duration, hen age, egg weight, egg index, shell...
Kesterson Reservoir (Kesterson) received subsurface agricultural drainwater containing high levels of salts and other minerals from farmland in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Aquatic plants and invertebrates were sampled at Kesterson in May, August, and December of 1984. The reservoir supported a different biota and lower species diversity than...
We hypothesized that changes in southeastern Bering Sea foraging conditions for black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla)
have caused shifts in habitat use with direct implications for population trends. To test this, we compared at-sea
distribution, breeding performance, and nutritional stress of kittiwakes in three years (2008–2010) at two sites in the...
