A Mixed-Methods, Cross-Sectional Study Of Perceived Stigma Among Ugandans With Epilepsy, Carol Blixen, Martha Sajatovic Apr 2022

A Mixed-Methods, Cross-Sectional Study Of Perceived Stigma Among Ugandans With Epilepsy, Carol Blixen, Martha Sajatovic

Faculty Scholarship

Background: Epilepsy is associated with stigma and negatively impacts the lives of people living with epilepsy (PLWE) and their immediate families. More understanding of the stigma and discrimination experienced by PLWE in sub-Saharan Africa is needed. Methods: In a cross-sectional, mixed methods study, forty- eight PLWE who met the study inclusion criteria were enrolled. In depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted and were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Analysis was conducted using a thematic, constant comparative approach with an emphasis on dominant themes. Perceived stigma was measured using the Kilifi epilepsy stigma score. Associations between socio-demographic factors and Kilifi …

Anti‐Cd20 Therapeutic Options In Immune‐Mediated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Robert W. Maitta Apr 2022

Anti‐Cd20 Therapeutic Options In Immune‐Mediated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Robert W. Maitta

Faculty Scholarship

Immunosuppression with rituximab in immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura helps decrease production of autoantibody mediating ADAMTS13 clearance from circulation. Failure to respond to rituximab in a satisfactory way or made difficult by adverse events to the medication does not represent a reason to stop considering anti-CD20 therapies to control antibody production. Therefore, both of atumumab and obinutuzumab with specificity to CD20, represent potentially valuable therapeutic tools in patients who are not candidates for rituximab. Commentary on: Doyle et al. The use of obinutuzumab and ofatumumab in the treatment of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Br J Haematol. 2022;198:391-396.1.

The Nested Embryonic Dorsal Domains Of Bmp-Target Genes Are Not Scaled To Size During The Evolution Of Drosophila Species, Juan Sebastian Chahda, Priscilla Ambrosi, Claudia M. Mizutani Apr 2022

The Nested Embryonic Dorsal Domains Of Bmp-Target Genes Are Not Scaled To Size During The Evolution Of Drosophila Species, Juan Sebastian Chahda, Priscilla Ambrosi, Claudia M. Mizutani

Faculty Scholarship

Egg size is a fast-evolving trait among Drosophilids expected to change the spatial distribution of morphogens that pattern the embryonic axes. Here we asked whether the patterning of the dorsal region of the embryo by the Decapentaplegic/Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 (DPP/BMP-4) gradient is scaled among Drosophila species with different egg sizes. This region specifies the extra-embryonic tissue amnioserosa and the ectoderm. We find that the entire dorsal region scales with embryo size, but the gene expression patterns regulated by DPP are not proportional, suggesting that the DPP gradient is differentially scaled during evolution. To further test whether the DPP gradient can …


Recovering Feminist Lessons From The Past For A Less Carceral Future, Aziza Ahmed Apr 2022

Recovering Feminist Lessons From The Past For A Less Carceral Future, Aziza Ahmed

Faculty Scholarship

In a moment when mass incarceration, police reform, and abolition are dominating national headlines, Aya Gruber’s book, The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration, takes on one of the most complicated questions of the politics of policing and incarceration: gender violence. Her book provides a history of the uncomfortable relationship between the carceral state and feminist organizing to end violence against women. And, it offers a path forward that begins to address mistakes of the past by reigniting those modes of feminism focused on poverty, welfare, and race that were sidelined with …


Training The Next Generation Of Translational Scientists: The Case Western Reserve University Translational Fellows Program, Cheryl L. Thompson, Tessianna A. Misko, Mark R. Chance Apr 2022

Training The Next Generation Of Translational Scientists: The Case Western Reserve University Translational Fellows Program, Cheryl L. Thompson, Tessianna A. Misko, Mark R. Chance

Faculty Scholarship

Background: An important part of biomedical research is the translation of discoveries into clinical or community applications that impact patient health. For a vast majority of clinical applications and sustainable community interventions, a time-tested way to get innovations to patients is through licensing of the technology and commercial development, often through startups. While biomedical scientists and trainees are schooled in discovery research, the processes of commercialization are foreign or intimidating. Further, many trainees will not aspire to a faculty position, and other avenues of advancement are desirable. Methods: At Case Western Reserve University, we developed and launched a Translational Fellows …


Anisotropic Colloidal Particles Near Boundaries, Jiarui Yan, Christopher L. Wirth Apr 2022

Anisotropic Colloidal Particles Near Boundaries, Jiarui Yan, Christopher L. Wirth

Faculty Scholarship

Anisotropic colloidal particles are regularly found in applications ranging from health to energy. These particles, typically with non-uniform shape or surface chemistry, interact with boundaries in unique ways, offering pathways to complex assemblies and active systems. Work in this field over the past two decades rapidly advanced, with the last five years seeing significant innovation. One common thread joining many studies and applications is that of the presence of boundaries in the form of a nearby wall or neighboring particle. Asymmetry introduced by a neighboring boundary often leads to unique and surprising particle dynamics from the resulting anisotropic surface interactions. …


Optimization Of Through-Time Radial Grappa With Coil Compression And Weight Sharing, Dominique Franson, James Ahad Apr 2022

Optimization Of Through-Time Radial Grappa With Coil Compression And Weight Sharing, Dominique Franson, James Ahad

Faculty Scholarship

Purpose: This work proposes principal component analysis (PCA) coil compression and weight sharing to reduce acquisition and reconstruction time of through-time radial GRAPPA. Methods: Through-time radial GRAPPA enables ungated free-breathing motion-resolved cardiac imaging but requires a long calibration acquisition and GRAPPA weight calculation time. PCA coil compression reduces calibration data requirements and associated acquisition time, and weight sharing reduces the number of unique GRAPPA weight sets and associated weight computation time. In vivo cardiac data reconstructed with coil compression and weight sharing are compared to a gold standard to demonstrate improvement in calibration acquisition and reconstruction performance with minimal loss …


Rewriting Whren V. United States, Devon W. Carbado, Jonathan Feingold Apr 2022

Rewriting Whren V. United States, Devon W. Carbado, Jonathan Feingold

Faculty Scholarship

In 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Whren v. United States—a unanimous opinion in which the Court effectively constitutionalized racial profiling. Despite its enduring consequences, Whren remains good law today. This Article rewrites the opinion. We do so, in part, to demonstrate how one might incorporate racial justice concerns into Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, a body of law that has long elided and marginalized the racialized dimensions of policing. A separate aim is to reveal the “false necessity” of the Whren outcome. The fact that Whren was unanimous, and that even progressive Justices signed on, might lead one to conclude that …


Brief For The Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Southern Ute Tribe, The Crow Nation, And Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe As Amici Curiae Supporting Respondent, Paul Spruhan Apr 2022

Brief For The Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Southern Ute Tribe, The Crow Nation, And Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe As Amici Curiae Supporting Respondent, Paul Spruhan

Faculty Scholarship

The Navajo Nation, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, the Southern Ute Tribe, the Crow Nation, and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe submit this amicus brief in support of Respondent Castro-Huerta.1 The signatory tribes do so to contest the State of Oklahoma’s argument that states have inherent criminal jurisdiction over crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian Country. Amici curiae are signatories to “Peace Commission” treaties with the United States that affirm tribal sovereignty over their territory to the exclusion of the states, with the federal government assuming the responsibility to arrest and prosecute non-Indian “bad men” who commit offenses …


The Effect Of Objectively Collected Medication Adherence Information On Bipolar I And Major Depressive Disorder Treatment Decisions: A Randomized Case Vignette Study Of Psychiatric Clinicians, Martha Sajatovic Apr 2022

The Effect Of Objectively Collected Medication Adherence Information On Bipolar I And Major Depressive Disorder Treatment Decisions: A Randomized Case Vignette Study Of Psychiatric Clinicians, Martha Sajatovic

Faculty Scholarship

Background: Adherence to antipsychotic medications is critical for treatment and relapse prevention in serious mental illness. Accurate assessment of medication adherence can be difficult, clinicians frequently overestimate patient adherence, and new accurate methods assessing medication adherence are needed. This study estimated the influence of antipsychotic medication adherence information on clinician treatment decisions among patients with bipolar I (BD) and major depressive (MDD) disorders. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional, random assignment survey of psychiatric clinicians who prescribe medication for the treatment of BD and/or MDD. Clinicians (N = 180) were recruited using national association lists and were presented with either …


"For You There Are No Strangers": Albert Schweitzer And The Ethics Of Necessity In Pandemic America, Joel (J.T.) Young Apr 2022

"For You There Are No Strangers": Albert Schweitzer And The Ethics Of Necessity In Pandemic America, Joel (J.T.) Young

Faculty Scholarship

Claiming millions of lives and affecting millions more, the Covid-19 pandemic has thrust humanity into a period of intense reflection on the fragility of life. However, in this time when people have been encouraged to care for their fellow human beings by taking the precautions necessary to protect one another, many have asked the same question as one of Jesus’ antagonistic opponents in the Gospel of Luke: “and who is my neighbor?” In addition to the virus, though, the United States has been plagued by another adversary: non-necessity toward the other. By claiming no responsibility for the well-being and care …


Stated Culpability Requirements, Scott England Apr 2022

Stated Culpability Requirements, Scott England

Faculty Scholarship

This Article comprehensively reviews the law of stated culpability requirements in Model Penal Code (MPC) jurisdictions. Part I provides an overview of section 2.02(4), explaining how the provision works and its role in the MPC’s culpability scheme. Part II then identifies section 2.02(4)’s main weaknesses, drawing on both the provision itself and the Code’s commentary. Next, Part III reviews the law in the twenty-five states with culpability provisions influenced by the MPC, identifying specific problems that section 2.02(4) has created in the case law. Finally, Part IV recommends new stated-culpability rules that improve section 2.02(4) and more rigorously enforce the …


Creating Lightbulb Moments: Developing Higher-Order Thinking In Family Law Classrooms Through Court Observations, Sonia Gipson Rankin Apr 2022

Creating Lightbulb Moments: Developing Higher-Order Thinking In Family Law Classrooms Through Court Observations, Sonia Gipson Rankin

Faculty Scholarship

This article fills a critical gap in the family law literature by arguing that teaching doctrinal family law in conjunction with the application of established learning theory and pedagogy yields a deeper engagement with the subject matter and leads to more practice-ready lawyers. ABA Standards 301, 303, and 304 do not clearly articulate the distinction between experiential education and experiential learning; doctrinal law classrooms are often bereft of experiential learning activities. By incorporating active learning and inclusive pedagogy in the doctrinal classroom and following recommendations from the MacCrate Report and Family Law Education Reform Project, students will be better prepared …


Against Political Speech, John M. Kang Apr 2022

Against Political Speech, John M. Kang

Faculty Scholarship

The Supreme Court has dedicated itself to the proposition that political speech, more than any other category of speech, is deserving of the highest protection. A succession of cases amply supports this proposition. In Virginia v. Black, the Court announced that "lawful political speech [is] at the core of what the First Amendment is designed to protect." The Court similarly declared in Monitor Patriot Co. v. Roy that the First Amendment "has its fullest and most urgent application" to political speech. In McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, the Court held that "handing out leaflets in the advocacy of …


Moving Law Schools Forward By Design: Designing Law School Curricula To Transfer Learning From Classroom Theory To Clinical Practice And Beyond, April Land, Aliza Organick Apr 2022

Moving Law Schools Forward By Design: Designing Law School Curricula To Transfer Learning From Classroom Theory To Clinical Practice And Beyond, April Land, Aliza Organick

Faculty Scholarship

Calls for reform of legal education are long-standing and have been renewed with vigor and an increasing demand for “practice-ready” lawyers. As part of these reforms, changes to the American Bar Association Standards have been made that now require law schools to provide experiential learning opportunities, to define specific objectives, and to show that students are making progress toward those objectives. A rapidly developing area of study regarding professional identity formation stresses the importance of supporting and guiding students through experiential learning throughout the course of law school. Additionally, as part of its accreditation process, the ABA will now evaluate …


If You Draw It, Students Learn It: An Approach To Teaching Contracts And Other Doctrinal Courses, Paul Figueroa Apr 2022

If You Draw It, Students Learn It: An Approach To Teaching Contracts And Other Doctrinal Courses, Paul Figueroa

Faculty Scholarship

Spring 2019 was my first semester as a tenure-stream law professor. That semester I taught Legal Remedies and Contracts II—two subjects that overlap in their coverage of contract damages. I felt very comfortable teaching contracts, given my nearly twenty years of experience on contractual matters in both the private and public sectors. My first few classes went well, which validated my initial confidence. However, my optimism about the semester evaporated when I attempted to teach the parol evidence rule (“PER”).1 It was a Monday, and before starting my Contracts II class I asked the students, “How was the weekend?” followed …

The Dignitary Confrontation Clause, Erin L. Sheley Apr 2022

The Dignitary Confrontation Clause, Erin L. Sheley

Faculty Scholarship

For seventeen years, the Supreme Court’s Confrontation Clause jurisprudence has been confused and confusing. In Crawford v. Washington (2004), the Court overruled prior precedent and held that “testimonial” out-of-court statements could not be admitted at trial unless the defendant had an opportunity to cross-examine the declarant, even when the statement would be otherwise admissible as particularly reliable under an exception to the rule against hearsay. In a series of contradictory opinions over the next several years, the Court proceeded to expand and then seemingly roll back this holding, leading to widespread chaos in common types of cases, particularly those involving …


Embracing Crimmigration To Curtail Immigration Detention, Pedro Gerson Apr 2022

Embracing Crimmigration To Curtail Immigration Detention, Pedro Gerson

Faculty Scholarship

Immigration advocates have long objected to both the constitutionality and conditions of immigration detention. However, legal challenges to the practice have been largely unsuccessful due to immigration law’s “exceptionality.” Placing recent litigation carried out against immigration detention during the COVID-19 pandemic within the context of the judiciary’s approach to immigration, this Article argues that litigation is an extremely limited strategic avenue to curtail the use of immigration detention. I then argue that anti-immigration detention advocates should attempt to incorporate their agenda into criminal legal reform and decarceration efforts. This is important for both movements. Normatively, immigration detention raises comparable issues: …


Reconceiving Coercion-Based Criminal Defenses, Stephen R. Galoob, Erin L. Sheley Apr 2022

Reconceiving Coercion-Based Criminal Defenses, Stephen R. Galoob, Erin L. Sheley

Faculty Scholarship

Coercing someone is sometimes wrong and sometimes a crime. People subject to coercion are sometimes eligible for criminal defenses, such as duress. How, exactly, does coercion operate in such contexts? Among legal scholars, the predominant understanding of coercion is the “wrongful pressure” model, which states that coercion exists when the coercer wrongfully threatens the target and, as a result of this threat, the target is pressured to act in accordance with the coercer’s threat. Some tokens of coercion do not fit neatly within existing legal categories or the wrongful pressure model of coercion. For example, coercive control is a psychological …


Reimagining Sovereignty To Protect Migrants, Pooja R. Dadhania Apr 2022

Reimagining Sovereignty To Protect Migrants, Pooja R. Dadhania

Faculty Scholarship

The concept of sovereignty in international law allows states to exclude and expel most categories of migrants, subject only to very narrow exceptions from international human rights and refugee law. Inverting the state sovereignty paradigm traditionally used to exclude migrants, this Essay reimagines sovereignty to protect migrants by drawing on the international law doctrine of state responsibility. The doctrine of state responsibility requires states to remedy the consequences of their actions in violation of international law. States that violate the sovereignty of other states, more specifically their territorial integrity or political independence, and thereby cause forced migration should have an …

The Fiction Of Nfts And Copyright Infringement, Emily T. Behzadi Apr 2022

The Fiction Of Nfts And Copyright Infringement, Emily T. Behzadi

Faculty Scholarship

In the first quarter of 2021, the sales of art in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (“NFTs”) reached over $200 billion dollars. The arrival of NFTs in the mainstream art market has profoundly shaped the way artists exploit their works. This sensational boom has attracted some of the world's biggest names across pop culture and sports, including celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Post Malone, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, to create their own NFT art. Director Quentin Tarantino has also capitalized on this craze through the creation of an NFT collection based on the film Pulp Fiction. However, …


Sy-Stem-Ic Bias: An Exploration Of Gender And Race Representation On University Patents, Jordana Goodman Apr 2022

Sy-Stem-Ic Bias: An Exploration Of Gender And Race Representation On University Patents, Jordana Goodman

Faculty Scholarship

People of color and women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math (“STEM”) fields in the United States. Through both intentional and unintentional structural barriers, universities continue to lose valuable intellectual resources by perpetuating a lack of gender, racial, and ethnic diversity as people climb the academic ladder. Identifying racial and gender disparities between university campus populations and their patent representation quantifies the qualitatively observed systemic racism and sexism plaguing STEM. Although many have written about racial and gender underrepresentation in STEM, no author has ever endeavored to simultaneously quantify the racial and gender gap at universities in the …
