(Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions, 1988-11)Goals of this study included the investigation of the need for multicompetent health practitioners, the relationship between hospital size and perception of this need, and feasible combinations of professions and skills ... -
Histochemical analysis of extracellular matrix material in embryonic trisomy 1 mouse eye
(John Wiley & Sons, 1989)Trisomic animals produced from mice doubly heterozygous for Robertsonian translocation chromosomes [Rb(1.3)/Rb(1.10)]consistently show eye defects (e.g., aphakia, microphakia, and retention of lens stalk). To determine if ... -
Mitosis in embryonic trisomy 1 mouse eye
(John Wiley & Sons, 1989-12)Trisomy 1 embryos consistently show eye defects (e.g., aphakia, microphakia, retention of lens stalk). To determine if the plane of division of mitotic figures is abnormal in the eyes of these animals, trisomic embryos ... -
Quantifying ventilatory reserve to predict respiratory failure in exacerbations of COPD
(American College of Chest Physicians, 1990-05)We developed a concept of VR in patients with acute exacerbation of advanced COPD and tested the hypothesis that it is predictable and clinically useful in the ER. Our concept of VR was based on the idea that a threshold ... -
A reliable isokinetic strength test for arm and leg musculature for mildly mentally retarded adults
(W.B. Saunders, 1990-08)This study attempted to establish a reliable test protocol to measure the strength of muscles involved in elbow and knee flexion and extension for mentally retarded (MR) adults. Nineteen mildly MR adults performed strength ... -
Ultrastructure of murine trisomy 1 optic cup
(John Wiley & Sons, 1990-11)The optic cups of two gestational day 11 trisomy (ts) 1 mouse embryos and a normal littermate control were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). One trisomic embryo had a small lens with a lens stalk; the ... -
The cardiovascular capacities of adults with Down syndrome: a comparative study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1992-01)The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiovascular capacities of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) to individuals without Down syndrome who are mentally retarded. Sixteen young adults with DS and 16 individuals ... -
Lens and mesenchyme ultrastructure in gestational day 11 trisomy 1 mice
(John Wiley & Sons, 1992-12)The lenses and head mesenchyme of two 11-gestational day trisomy 1 mouse embryos and a normal littermate were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). One trisomic embryo had a small lens with a lens stalk; ... -
Prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome and other work-related musculoskeletal problems in cardiac sonographers
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1993-06)Cardiac sonographers at a regional medical center have experienced carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms and other work-related musculoskeletal injuries. The nationwide incidence of these problems was not known. A questionnaire ... -
Historical review of menstrual toxic shock syndrome
(Routledge, 1994)This article reviews the history of Toxic Shock Syndrome and its relationship to tampons as well as governmental regulation of the tampon product. The historical antecedents and factors leading to governmental regulation ... -
Effect of exercise, bracing and electrical surface stimulation on idiopathic scoliosis: a preliminary study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1994-03) -
The effect of lower body positive pressure on the exercise capacity of individuals with spinal cord injury
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1994-04)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect lower body positive pressure (LBPP) has on the cardiovascular/exercise capacities of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) during both arm crank exercise (ACE) and ... -
Distribution of intestine-associated lymphoid tissue, aberrant crypt foci, and tumors in the large bowel of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-treated mice
(American Association for Cancer Research, 1994-08)Six-week-old male CF-1 mice were fed the AIN-76 diet, given eight weekly s.c. injections of either the colon carcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine or saline, and killed 24 weeks after the last injection. Parameters measured in ... -
Cardiovascular fitness as related to leg strength in adults with mental retardation
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1995-03)The purpose of this study was to compare cardiovascular fitness to leg strength of young adults (mean age = 25.2 yr) with mental retardation (MR) with and without Down syndrome (DS) and to determine whether a relationship ... -
Empirical evidence of the association between the presence of musculoskeletal pain and physical disability in community-dwelling senior citizens
(Elsevier, 1998-04)The proportion of people 65 years of age and older who report musculoskeletal pain and physical disability is high. The main objective of this study was to determine whether physical disability was associated with the ... -
Concurrent validity of an electronic descriptive pain scale
(Sage Publications, 2003-03)The study objective was to assess the concurrent validity of the Electronic Descriptive Pain Scale (EDPS), a pain scale built into a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device. One hundred patients in an outpatient ... -
Difference in isokinetic torque acceleration energy of the rotator cuff: competitive male pitchers versus male nonathletes
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004-08)Rotator cuff function is critical to the overhead athlete. Rotator cuff power is felt to be important in the overhead athlete during the throwing motion. Little research exists regarding torque acceleration energy (TAE) ... -
