Type I Ifn Enhances Follicular B Cell Contribution To The T Cell-Independent Antibody Response, Cristina L. Swanson, Timothy J. Wilson, Pamela Strauch, Marco Colonna, Roberta Pelanda, Raul M. Torres Jan 2010

Type I Ifn Enhances Follicular B Cell Contribution To The T Cell-Independent Antibody Response, Cristina L. Swanson, Timothy J. Wilson, Pamela Strauch, Marco Colonna, Roberta Pelanda, Raul M. Torres

Open Access Publications

Humoral immunity to viruses and encapsulated bacteria is comprised of T cell-independent type 2 (TI-2) antibody responses that are characterized by rapid antibody production by marginal zone and B1 B cells. We demonstrate that toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands influence the TI-2 antibody response not only by enhancing the overall magnitude but also by skewing this response to one that is dominated by IgG isotypes. Importantly, TLR ligands facilitate this response by inducing type I interferon (IFN), which in turn elicits rapid and significant amounts of antigen-specific IgG2c predominantly from FO (follicular) B cells. Furthermore, we show that although the IgG2c …

Efficacy Of The Speech Intelligibility Index As An Intervention Tool With Pediatric Cancer Patients, Megan Cahill Jan 2010

Efficacy Of The Speech Intelligibility Index As An Intervention Tool With Pediatric Cancer Patients, Megan Cahill

Independent Studies and Capstones

This study evaluates the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) as a tool to describe hearing loss and predict when hearing aids would be appropriate for pediatric oncology patients who have received or are currently receiving cisplatin. The efficacy of the SII is compared to the Brock grade which is commonly used for patients with ototoxic hearing loss secondary to cisplatin treatment. The SII is a discrete measure that precisely reflects the patient’s functional hearing status and is highly correlated with the need for audiologic intervention.


Implications For Early Interventionists: Cross-Cultural And Low-Income Family Differences, Karen Elizabeth Kruse Jan 2010

Implications For Early Interventionists: Cross-Cultural And Low-Income Family Differences, Karen Elizabeth Kruse

Independent Studies and Capstones

This study examined the existing literature on current early intervention processes for children who are deaf or hard of hearing who are from low-income or minority families. The review of literature includes a framework of understanding the dynamics of low-income households and cultural differences among African Americans, Latin Americans, and American Indians.

Outcomes Of Conventional Amplification For Pediatric Unilateral Hearing Loss, Lauren A. Wendorf Jan 2010

Outcomes Of Conventional Amplification For Pediatric Unilateral Hearing Loss, Lauren A. Wendorf

Independent Studies and Capstones

Although some children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) are at-risk for educational difficulties and behavioral problems, research in treatment outcomes for pediatric UHL is limited. The objective of this study was to examine the benefits of a conventional hearing aid in children with mild to moderately severe UHL, using speech perception measures and subjective assessments from the child, parent, and teacher.


Anatomic Correlates Of Strial Presbycusis In Recombinant Inbred Mouse Strains, Christina M. Walkonis Jan 2010

Anatomic Correlates Of Strial Presbycusis In Recombinant Inbred Mouse Strains, Christina M. Walkonis

Independent Studies and Capstones

This project attempts to identify anatomic features that predict the range of the ‘normal’ endocochlear potential in young inbred mice. Cochlear lateral wall histologic metrics were compared in recombinant inbred (RI) mouse strains formed from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice.


Verification Of Computed Tomographic Estimates Of Cochlear Implant Array Position: A Micro-Ct And Histological Analysis, Jessica Teymouri Jan 2010

Verification Of Computed Tomographic Estimates Of Cochlear Implant Array Position: A Micro-Ct And Histological Analysis, Jessica Teymouri

Independent Studies and Capstones

We examine the efficacy two volume spatial registration of pre and postoperative clinical computed tomography (CT) imaging to verify post-operative electrode array placement in cochlear implant (CI) patients. To measure the degree of accuracy with which the composite image predicts in-vivo placement of the array, we replicate the CI surgical process in cadaver heads. Pre-operative, post-operative, micro CT imaging and histology are utilized for verification.
