Brownfields Cleanup: A Look Back And Ahead Toward Superfund Authority, Clifford Villa

Faculty Scholarship

Did you know that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, through the Superfund program within each of the ten regional offices across the United States, has millions of dollars to spend each year for cleaning up contaminated sites that are not designated “Superfund” sites? Not many people seem to know that, even lawyers who practice in environmental law, or even law professors who teach it. If these elite folks do not know that, then how would ordinary community members know that, people with busy lives who don’t do Superfund for a living? The short answer is, they probably don’t know either.

SARS-CoV-2 has infected over 128 million people worldwide, and until a vaccine is developed and widely disseminated, vigilant testing and contact tracing are the most effective ways to slow the spread of COVID-19. Typical clinical testing only confirms the presence or absence of the virus, but rather, a simple and rapid testing procedure that sequences the entire genome would be impactful and allow for tracing the spread of the virus and variants, as well as the appearance of new variants. However, traditional short read sequencing methods are time consuming and expensive. Herein, we describe a tiled genome array that we …

Utilizing K'É To Build A New Mexico Higher Education Collaborative: Supporting Native Student Success, Catherine N. Montoya

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of this study is centered around a need’s assessment and creation of a collaborative entity in New Mexico that will support Native students in higher education institutions. There is always a need to support Indigenous students pursuing post-secondary degrees in higher education programs, because often professionals and programs function in silos. Instead, professionals and programs that support Native students would benefit from working to create supportive environments where Native students can succeed; provide encouragement; and make their environments safe and welcoming. This can best be accomplished through collaborative efforts across New Mexico. A state level higher education collaborative …

Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Tribal Court Handbook (2021), Tribal Law Journal Staff

Tribal Law Journal

This handbook helps take some of the mystery out of practicing in tribal courts. Without the necessary information to learn new rules and protocols many attorneys are understandably reluctant to practice in a new jurisdiction. As a result, tribal courts are underused or misused. This handbook is intended to help attorneys and advocates become more aware of the various individual tribal court systems and to learn their rules and protocol.

Studies Of The Rectification Behavior Of The Pdt Ligand And The Active Site Of Msrp, Laura J. Ingersol

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential element that plays an important role in global nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur cycles with a critical role in human metabolism and ecological balance. It becomes catalytically active when complexed with the pyranopterin dithiolene ligand (PDT), forming the nearly ubiquitous molybdenum cofactor (Moco). The complex biosynthetic pathway of Moco, its presence in all three domains of life, and its role as a constituent cofactor in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) all point toward the importance of the PDT in the development of life on Earth. Molybdoenzymes catalyze the two-electron oxidation or reduction of substrates that …

Implications Of Positive Anti-Gliadin Antibody With Negative Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody Titers While Consuming Gluten, Justin Hessinger, Pankaj Vohra

2021 Pediatric Research Forum Session

Background

Celiac disease is common and affects approximately 0.7 to 1% of the population. Due to its protean manifestations, celiac serology is often requested for chronic non-febrile ailments for which there is no obvious cause.

Tricore Laboratories routinely performs total serum IgA levels, anti-deamidated gliadin IgA antibody and tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody (tTG) levels when a celiac serology is requested.

Past studies have shown that tTG is very sensitive and specific ‘screening’ test for the diagnosis of celiac disease. Additionally, the same studies show that positive anti-gliadin antibody in the presence of negative tTG antibody levels suggests the former to …

Providing Virtual Intrauterine Device Insertion And Removal Training During Covid-19: A Sustainable Solution For Rural Provider Access, Andrea Andersen, Jennifer Robinson, Erin Rayburn, Anna White, Rachel Sebastian, Irene Cantu, Franceska Alexander, Naaima Zaidi, Cynthia Harper, Elizabeth Yakes Jimenez

2021 Pediatric Research Forum Session

The LARC Mentoring Program (LMP) seeks to increase access to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) by broadening clinicians’ skills to insert and remove LARC devices and to provide counseling on all contraceptive methods. Before March 2020, the LMP training model consisted of in-person, hands-on trainings to teach clinical skills. When in-person trainings were no longer viable, the LMP team developed a virtual, hands-on Intrauterine Device (IUD) Insertion practicum for providers in New Mexico in collaboration with the Beyond the Pill program from the University of California, San Francisco. From December 2020 to February 2021, 15 health care providers from rural and …

Early Hydrocortisone Administration For Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Prevention, Jessica Wilcken, Dawn Novak, Conra Lacy, Cheng Chen

2021 Pediatric Research Forum Session

Objective: To assess changes in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in extremely preterm infants at UNMH after implementation of routine use of prophylactic hydrocortisone. The secondary objective is to assess for possible complications that can occur with the treatment of steroids, including the presence of spontaneous gastrointestinal perforation, late onset sepsis, significant hyperglycemia, and significant hypertension.

Background: BPD is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants and has been found to be an independent risk factor for poor neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely premature infants. Hydrocortisone has been shown to be effective in improving survival and decreasing …

Moderate Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Increases Toll-Like Receptors Activity Detectable In Umbilical Cord Blood At Birth, Jessie R. Maxwell, Shahani Noor, Nathaniel Pavlik, Dominique Rodriguez, Lidia Enriquez Marquez, Jared Didomenico, Ludmila N. Bakhireva

2021 Pediatric Research Forum Session

One in nine pregnant women report drinking during pregnancy. Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) increases the risk of infection in the newborn by altering development with resultant changes in immune function including cytokine expression. Toll-like receptors are expressed on multiple types of cells and play a vital role in modulation of the innate immune system and the release of inflammatory mediators. Therefore, we predicted that PAE would result in alterations in the pattern of cytokine expression following stimulation with toll-like receptor agonists, in umbilical cord blood samples.

Cord blood samples were obtained from a subset of infants born to the prospective …

Rehabilitation Considerations And Management In A Pediatric Patient With Acute Transverse Myelitis Associated With Covid-19, Chris Buton, Robert Allen

2021 Pediatric Research Forum Session

Case Diagnosis

Severe respiratory failure represents the most fatal aspect of COVID-19. However, other consequences of the disease including neurological deficits may result in long-term disability. We report a rare case of transverse myelitis (TM) in a child associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Case Description

A 3-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented to the emergency department with acute-onset weakness in all four extremities. Within hours, the patient experienced respiratory distress, worsening weakness, and decreased level of consciousness. She was intubated and admitted to the PICU.
