Vcu Voice (1996-01-29)

VCU Voice, 1988-1998

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

ABSTRACT

Background Acute changes in cerebral function after elective coronary bypass surgery are a difficult clinical problem. We carried out a multicenter study to determine the incidence and predictors of — and the use of resources associated with — perioperative adverse neurologic events, including cerebral injury.

Methods In a prospective study, we evaluated 2108 patients from 24 U.S. institutions for two general categories of neurologic outcome: type I (focal injury, or stupor or coma at discharge) and type II (deterioration in intellectual function, memory deficit, or seizures).

Results Adverse cerebral outcomes occurred in 129 patients (6.1 percent). A total of …

CyanoNews

CyanoNews was a newsletter that served the cyanobacteriological community from 1985 to 2003, with content provided by readers (sort of a blog before there were blogs). The newsletter reported new findings from the lab, summaries of recent meetings (often provided by graduate students and post-docs entering the field), positions sought or available, life transitions, a compendium of recent cyanobacteria-related articles, and other items of interest to those who study cyanobacteria.

Pharmacokinetics Of Vancomycin In Critically Ill Infants Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, R. Davis Maker, Joseph T. Dipiro, Jatinder Bhatia

Publications from the Office of the Dean

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a widely used therapy for neonates with respiratory failure. Because of sepsis, many of these infants require antibiotics like vancomycin during ECMO treatment. ECMO transiently alters renal function and increases the circulating blood volume by 75%. Initial vancomycin pharmacokinetics were determined in 12 infants undergoing ECMO to determine an adequate drug administration regimen. Vancomycin dosage was based on current recommendations for weight and gestational age. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by fitting the data to a two compartment model. This study yielded a mean steady-state volume of distribution of 1.1 +/- 0.5 (range, 0.6 to 2.1) …

Decreases In Ovarian Cytochrome P450c17 Alpha Activity And Serum Free Testosterone After Reduction Of Insulin Secretion In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, John E. Nestler , M.D., Daniela J. Jakubowicz , M.D.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Publications

BACKGROUND

Insulin resistance and increased ovarian cytochrome P450c17α activity are both features of the polycystic ovary syndrome. P450c17α, which is involved in androgen biosynthesis, has both 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. Increased activity of this enzyme results in exaggerated conversion of progesterone to 17α-hydroxyprogesterone in response to stimulation by gonadotropin. We hypothesized that hyperinsulinemia stimulates ovarian P450c17α activity.

METHODS

We measured serum steroid concentrations during fasting and the response of serum 17α-hydroxyprogesterone to leuprolide, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, and performed oral glucose-tolerance tests before and after oral administration of either metformin (500 mg three times daily) or placebo for four to …

[Review Of] Mary Carol Hopkins, Braving A New World: Cambodian (Khmer) Refugees In An American City, Corswang Ngin

Ethnic Studies Review

Cambodians, officially classified as Asian Americans, are a part of this large group which contributes to the country's fastest growing minority population. The Cambodians in Middle City, the pseudonym of a Midwestern city, however, live in a world unlike any resembling those in middle Asian America. They are victims of poverty, of dangerous urban housing and of social isolation. The majority are of poor health, illiterate in English, and too old or too distracted to learn. Hopkins' study of this community is classic ethnography, describing in vivid details the ordinary family and Buddhist ceremonial life of the Cambodians as they …

[Review Of] Herman Gray, Watching Race: Television And The Struggle For "Blackness,", Clarence Spigner

Ethnic Studies Review

Professor Herman Gray offers a fascinating, highly analytical, and well-researched account of race (and gender) mirrored in the prism of televised images. Focusing mostly on the decade of the 1980s, in an almost razzle-dazzle and didactic fashion he explores the deep sociological and political manifestations of televised racial imagery and its effects on the well-being of American society.

Art Education And Technology: These Are The Days Of Miracles And Wonder, Paul Duncum

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

This paper examines the impact on human consciousness of the exponential proliferation of electronic images, and offers suggestions concerning how educators should respond. A postmodern critique includes the ideas of an inverted Kantian aesthetics which embraces the everyday, a dramatic compression of space and time, and personal disorientation. A further critique grounds these views of consciousness in new economic arrangements and the rapaciousness of capitalism. I argue that the only viable educational response to this new consciousness is a critical examination of mass media imagery. Basic components of media education in schools are signposts of an appropriate response.

Editor’S Note: Social Action Through Art, Karen T. Keifer-Boyd

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Continuing the tradition, begun with JSTAE 14, The Gallery features visual research, actions, and art that contribute to social change. Nine artists/activists/art educators, many serving as facilitators of projects involving diverse communities, have contributed images for The Gallery. The images direct our attention to issues of racism, exploitation, intolerance, war, world relations, joblessness, homelessness, a damaged infrastructure, women's health, equal rights, and peace.

Like Sustenance For The Masses: Genre Resistance, Cultural Identity, And The Achievement Of Like Water For Chocolate, Ellen Puccinelli

Ethnic Studies Review

Laura Esquivel's 1989 Mexican novel Like Water for Chocolate, neither translated into English nor published in the United States until 1992, was both an American bestseller and the basis for an acclaimed motion picture. Interestingly, though, Esquivel's work also seems to be receiving glimmers of the type of critical attention generally reserved for less "popular" works. Two particular critical studies composed in English, one by Kathleen Glenn and the other by Cecelia Lawless, have been devoted entirely to Chocolate, and both of the scholar/authors grace the faculties of reputable American institutions of higher learning.^1 As a student whose academic experience …
