Impact Of Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Fields On Human Postural Control, Alicia N. Allen
Impact Of Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Fields On Human Postural Control, Alicia N. Allen
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The general public and workers can be exposed to high-levels of power-line frequency magnetic fields (MFs - up to 10 mT). Although such time-varying MFs have the potential to modulate human postural control, no existing studies have explored MF exposure levels that possibly trigger acute sway responses. This work evaluates time-varying MF exposure (up to 100 mT) in the extremely low frequency range (ELF – up to 300 Hz) and its effects on human postural control. Twenty-two healthy participants were each exposed to randomized, 5-second MF and electric stimulations (0, 50 and 100 mT and 1.5 mA respectively) given at …
Assisted Reproductive Technologies Disrupt Genomic Imprinting In Human And Mitochondria In Mouse Embryos, Carlee R. White
Assisted Reproductive Technologies Disrupt Genomic Imprinting In Human And Mitochondria In Mouse Embryos, Carlee R. White
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Infertile couples worldwide use assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) to help conceive their own biological child. Due to the rising use of ARTs, there is continual emergence of new techniques implemented in human fertility clinics. When treatment is successful, there is an increased risk even within singletons for perinatal complications including preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, low and high birth weight and genomic imprinting disorders Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome, and Silver-Russel Syndrome. Consequently, there is a need to investigate the effects of these treatments on the manipulated oocyte and preimplantation embryo. To address this, I first analyzed the combined effects …
