Causes And Proposed Solutions For Dental Anxieties And Dental Phobias In Relation To Age And Ethnicity, Michelle Cavalaris
Causes And Proposed Solutions For Dental Anxieties And Dental Phobias In Relation To Age And Ethnicity, Michelle Cavalaris
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
There are millions of Americans who suffer from dental phobias and about thirtyfive million Americans who suffer from dental anxieties. These statistics reprent the magnitude of dental related fears among individuals. Persons who suffer from these dental related fears are unable to keep an appointment with a dentist. Therefore, the patient’s oral health suffers; which may lead to other health issues. This experiment was created to determine the basis of dental fear, by concentrating on three categories: age, origin, and dental environment. The first objective of this experiment is to first determine if there is a significant difference between a …
Elevated Prenatal Progesterone Causes An Increased Heart Rate In Northern Bobwhite Quail (Colinus Virginianus) Neonates, Yvette Rodriguez
Elevated Prenatal Progesterone Causes An Increased Heart Rate In Northern Bobwhite Quail (Colinus Virginianus) Neonates, Yvette Rodriguez
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
The proposed research is designed to investigate whether increased levels of progesterone found within the yolk of Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) will elevate arousal levels as measured by heart rate. Previous studies show that elevated progesterone levels cause an elevation in emotional reactivity among chicks and also influence their auditory learning. Previous studies have also indicated that an increased heart rate following an injection of norepinephrine into quail eggs prior to hatching, can interfere with prenatal auditory learning. To test whether progesterone elevation does have an effect on quail embryos’ heart rate, prior to incubation 90 bobwhite quail chick …
