162 Trott, David C.Coronary risk intervention in a county health department setting.This study set out to develop a model of arteriosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) risk intervention that could be implemented on the local health department level. Accordingly, efforts were made to maintain simplicity and to minimize costs. The study population comprised volunteer participants from t...Prevention and Control; Risk Factors1981-06
163 Pike, Doris JenkinsRelationship of postoperative exercises to recovery of radical mastectomy patients.The incidence of breast cancer is widespread and usually necessitates a radical mastectomy procedure. The literature is replete with articles suggesting that postoperative exercising is necessary to prevent edema and/or limitation of motion of the arm on the operative side9 when a radical mastectom...Breast Cancer; Excercises1970-06
164 White, Kenneth LynnDevelopment of a system to measure electric charge on industrially-generated aerosol.A system for the measurement of net electrical charge on industrially-generated aerosol was designed, built, and tested. The system was then used to measure net change on welding fume and dust generated from sanding on fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). The measuring apparatus consisisted of a s...Public Health; Industrial Exposures1985-03
165 Siebe, Rhonda K.Effects of occupational role strain, life change events, and prenatal risk factors on obstetrical outcomes in hospital nurses.The relationships between stress and pregnancy outcomes in hospital nurses were examined retrospectively.

174 Moore, Brent Christopher.Investigating colon tumor cell response to 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine: analysis of the CDX2 promoter and its methylation status .Cytosine methylation silences gene activation and is indicative of an inactive chromatin state. This is especially true in tumors when tumor suppressor genes are silenced by methylation. Because methylation silencing is reversible, DNA methylation has been identified as a potential drug target. M...DNA; CDX Genesl2005-05
