Priming Deficiency In Male Subjects At Risk For Alcoholism: The N4 During A Lexical Decision Task, Lance O. Bauer Dec 2009

Priming Deficiency In Male Subjects At Risk For Alcoholism: The N4 During A Lexical Decision Task, Lance O. Bauer

UCHC Articles - Research

Abstract

Background

While there is extensive literature on the relationship between the P3 component of event-related potentials (ERPs) and risk for alcoholism, there are few published studies regarding other potentially important ERP components. One important candidate is the N4(00) component in the context of semantic processing, as abnormalities in this component have been reported for adult alcoholics.

Method

A semantic priming task was administered to non-alcohol dependent male offspring (18 to 25 years) of alcoholic fathers [high risk (HR) n=23] and non-alcoholic fathers [low risk (LR) n=28], to study whether the two groups differ in terms of the N4 component. …

Head And Neck Embryology: An Overview Of Development, Growth And Defect In The Human Fetus, Allison Baylis May 2009

Head And Neck Embryology: An Overview Of Development, Growth And Defect In The Human Fetus, Allison Baylis

Honors Scholar Theses

The purpose of this research is to explore the growth and formation of the head and neck from embryological development through puberty in order to understand how this knowledge is necessary for the development of dental and medical treatments and procedures. This is a necessary aspect of the medical and dental school curriculum at the University of Connecticut Health Center Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine that needs to be incorporated into the current study of embryology for first-year students. Working with Dr. Christine Niekrash, D.M.D, this paper will cover the embryology and growth of the head, face and oral …

A Rapid Non-Destructive Method For Root Dentin Moisture Measurements, Qiang Zhu, Jin Jiang, Kamran E. Safavi, Larz S.W. Spångberg Mar 2009

A Rapid Non-Destructive Method For Root Dentin Moisture Measurements, Qiang Zhu, Jin Jiang, Kamran E. Safavi, Larz S.W. Spångberg

UCHC Articles - Research

Dentin moisture content is important in adhesive bonding and structural strength research. However, there is no rapid method available to assess dentin moisture without sample destruction. This study examined the use of a digital grain moisture meter to measure root dentin moisture in vitro. Extracted mandibular single rooted teeth were sectioned at the CEJ. The moisture of the root dentin was measured at six measuring modes for different grains and repeated five times. Dentin weight changes before and after drying were measured to obtain control values. The control values were compared with machine readings. In conclusion, (1) Each non-destructive measurement …

A Dynamic Analysis: The Smile And Display Of Dentition During Speech, Allen Yaghoubzadeh Jan 2009

A Dynamic Analysis: The Smile And Display Of Dentition During Speech, Allen Yaghoubzadeh

SoDM Masters Theses

The objective of this retrospective study is to follow up on a previous Dynamic Smile Analysis and videographically analyze and develop averages for soft tissue norms with respect to the display of dentition during speech. These values would then be compared cross-sectionally across different age groups to see whether changes attributable to the aging process could be seen. A secondary objective was to compare averages for soft tissue norms in the display of dentition during speech to averages for soft tissue norms in the display of dentition during the smile. Materials and Method: Records from a previous study in which …

The Dental School Applicant Pool And The Oral Healthcare Workforce, Lauren Mentasti Consonni Jan 2009

The Dental School Applicant Pool And The Oral Healthcare Workforce, Lauren Mentasti Consonni

UCHC Graduate School Masters Theses 2003 - 2010

One of the major challenges faced by the dental profession today is the recruitment of the most qualified dental school applicants who are capable of serving the nation’s future oral healthcare needs. The Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) also recognizes this challenge, describing one of the three core functions of public health as “assuring that all populations have access to appropriate and cost effective care, including health promotion and disease prevention services.” To achieve this core function, the ASPH cites “a competent public health and personal healthcare workforce” as one of the ten essential public health services. Unfortunately, …
