Preventing Back Pain In Horses, Jenifer Nadeau
Preventing Back Pain In Horses, Jenifer Nadeau
Extension Articles
Back pain is a source of poor performance and many different types of horses suffer from back problems. Early recognition of back pain is important, since damage may be cumulative. This information is provided to help horse owners and riders prevent, recognize, and pursue treatment for back pain in their horses.
An Integral Philosophy And Definition Of Nursing: Implications For A Unifying Meta-Theory Of Nursing, Olga F. Jarrin
An Integral Philosophy And Definition Of Nursing: Implications For A Unifying Meta-Theory Of Nursing, Olga F. Jarrin
School of Nursing Scholarly Works
A unifying meta-theory of nursing is suggested, building from the foundation of Ken Wilber’s AQAL (integral) framework. A definition of nursing as situated caring is presented. Historical discussion of contemporary nursing epistemology and theory are provided for context. Implications for practice, education, and research are discussed. A unifying meta-theory of nursing is needed to most benefit from the diversity in nursing education, practice, theory and research. A unifying meta-theory will enable nurses at both the practical and academic levels to appreciate the complexity and simplicity of nursing, allowing them to articulate confidently what we do and why we do it.

CpG island methylation (CIM) is an epigenetic mechanism for transcriptional silencing that occurs at various stages of colon tumorigenesis. CIM has been found in serrated adenomas and hyperplastic polyps. There is also evidence for hypermethylation in aberrant crypt foci (ACF) that are found in resected colons from cancer patients. Our study addresses promoter methylation of a tumor suppressor gene, RASSF1A, within the colonic epithelium of subjects undergoing screening colonoscopies in the absence of synchronous tumors. Patients included in this study were at elevated risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) based on family history, but without a previously occurring or synchronous …

In Vitro Expression And Purification Of Class I Mhc Molecules, Loi Cheng
In Vitro Expression And Purification Of Class I Mhc Molecules, Loi Cheng
Honors Scholar Theses
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a gene family responsible for many critical functions of the immune system in most vertebrates. The MHC consists of three classes differentiated by their structure and function, and MHC class I encodes antigen binding proteins as well as chaperone and accessory proteins such as tapasin. The purpose of this project is to reconstitute several human MHC class I molecules in their peptide-filled and peptide-deficient forms, and to purify these proteins for biochemical study. The expressed proteins include wild type and mutant variants of the fusion protein human leukocyte antigen HLA-B*0801-fos, and human beta-2-microglobulin (β2m). …
Orthogonal Activation Of The Reengineered A3 Adenosine Receptor (Neoceptor) Using Tailored Nucleoside Agonists, Tatiana Sonin, Bruce T. Liang
Orthogonal Activation Of The Reengineered A3 Adenosine Receptor (Neoceptor) Using Tailored Nucleoside Agonists, Tatiana Sonin, Bruce T. Liang
UCHC Articles - Research
An alternative approach to overcome the inherent lack of specificity of conventional agonist therapy can be the reengineering of the GPCRs and their agonists. A reengineered receptor (neoceptor) could be selectively activated by a modified agonist, but not by the endogenous agonist. Assisted by rhodopsin-based molecular modeling, we pinpointed mutations of the A3 adenosine receptor (AR) for selective affinity enhancement following complementary modifications of adenosine. Ribose modifications examined included, at 3′: amino, aminomethyl, azido, guanidino, ureido; and at 5′: uronamido, azidodeoxy. N6-variations included: 3-iodobenzyl, 5-chloro-2-methyloxybenzyl, and methyl. An N6-3-iodobenzyl-3′-ureido adenosine derivative 10 activated phospholipase C …

Medication Safety : Prevention Of Medication Errors
Articles - Patient Care
2006 National Patient Safety Goal: Reducing Medication Errors Prevention of medication errors is one of our most important goals as we move toward becoming the safest hospital in Connecticut. To prevent possible errors, we will use a process called “medication reconciliation.”
Association Between Two Μ-Opioid Receptor Gene (Oprm1) Haplotype Blocks And Drug Or Alcohol Dependence, Henry R. Kranzler
Association Between Two Μ-Opioid Receptor Gene (Oprm1) Haplotype Blocks And Drug Or Alcohol Dependence, Henry R. Kranzler
UCHC Articles - Research
We examined 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the coding region of the μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), among 382 European Americans (EAs) affected with substance dependence [alcohol dependence (AD) and/or drug dependence (DD)] and 338 EA healthy controls. These SNPs delineated two haplotype blocks. Genotype distributions for all SNPs were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in controls, but in cases, four SNPs in Block I and three SNPs in Block II showed deviation from HWE. Significant differences were found between cases and controls in allele and/or genotype frequencies for six SNPs in Block I and two SNPs in Block …

Ayurvedic Concept Of Food And Nutrition, Amala Guha
Ayurvedic Concept Of Food And Nutrition, Amala Guha
SoM Articles
Ayurveda places special emphasis on Ahar (diet) and Anna (food) and believes that healthy nutrition nourishes the mind, body and soul. Ayurveda does not discriminate food to be good, or bad, instead it emphasizes various factors that influence food, such as its biological properties, origin, environmental factors, seasons, preparation, freshness, and provides a logical explanation of how to balance food according to one's dosha and physical needs.

Neuroimmune Interactions: A Bidirectional Flow That Leads To Health And Disease, Robert E. Cone
SoM Articles
The Vedic philosophy deals with harmony and balance between the mind and the body as well as interactions with nature. This ancient approach to health and well-being is being more and more appreciated in part as we understand the intimate relationship between the immune system, our major defense mechanism and the nervous system. Like other organ systems, the immune system is dependent on the central nervous system (CNS) and the endocrine system in its role for effective defense against foreign and domestic invaders.
