Cannabinoids And The Immune System, Thomas W. Klein, Catherine A. Newton, Herman Friedman Jan 2001

Cannabinoids And The Immune System, Thomas W. Klein, Catherine A. Newton, Herman Friedman

Molecular Medicine Faculty Publications

The effect of cannabimimetic agents on the function of immune cells such as T and B lymphocytes, natural killer cells and macrophages has been extensively studied over the past several decades using human and animal paradigms involving whole animal models as well as tissue culture systems. From this work, it can be concluded that these drugs have subtle yet complex effects on immune cell function and that some of the drug activity is mediated by cannabinoid receptors expressed on the various immune cell subtypes. However, the overall role of the cannabinoid system of receptors and ligands in human health and …

Stabilization Of Partially Folded Conformation During Α-Synuclein Oligomerization In Both Purified And Cytosolic Preparations, Vladimir N. Uversky, He-Jin Lee, Jie Li, Anthony L. Fink, Seung-Jae Lee Jan 2001

Stabilization Of Partially Folded Conformation During Α-Synuclein Oligomerization In Both Purified And Cytosolic Preparations, Vladimir N. Uversky, He-Jin Lee, Jie Li, Anthony L. Fink, Seung-Jae Lee

Molecular Medicine Faculty Publications

Aggregation of α-synuclein is tightly associated with many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy body, Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease, multiple system atrophy, and Hallervorden-Spatz disease, implicating a crucial role of aggregated forms of α-synuclein in the pathogenesis. Here, we examined the effect of elevated temperature on the oligomerization and structural changes of α-synuclein in the early stage of aggregation and show that self-assembly is crucial for the stabilization of a partially folded conformation. The efficiency of α-synuclein oligomerization increased proportional to the temperature increase, both in purified form and in crude cytosolic preparation. This oligomerization …

Administrative Pitfalls Of Litigating Under The Florida Civil Rights Act, Kenneth M. Curtin Jan 2001

Administrative Pitfalls Of Litigating Under The Florida Civil Rights Act, Kenneth M. Curtin

St. Thomas Law Review

Under the common law in Florida, an employee hired for an indefinite period of time was considered an employee-at-will and either party could terminate the employment at any time and for any reason without incurring liability. The Florida Civil Rights Act of 19922 ("FCRA") modified the common law in that, the FCRA created a cause of action for unlawful termination. The FCRA was patterned after Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, as well as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.' Nevertheless, differences abound between federal legislation and the FCRA, especially in regards to administrative …

The Three Nixon Cases And Their Parallels In Malaysia, Myint Zan Jan 2001

The Three Nixon Cases And Their Parallels In Malaysia, Myint Zan

St. Thomas Law Review

During the period from 1974 to 1982 the Supreme Court of the United States decided three cases in which the late Richard M. Nixon, the 37th President of the United States of America was involved as an appellant/ petitioner. All three cases decided by the United States Supreme Court bore the name of Richard Nixon in the title of the cases. This Article will attempt to discern some of the legal and constitutional issues which have arisen from these "Three Nixon" cases. Some of the issues in these cases would inevitably have arisen out of issues that are peculiar to …

Gentetically Engineering People: A Jewish Law Analysis Of Personhood, Michael J. Broyde Jan 2001

Gentetically Engineering People: A Jewish Law Analysis Of Personhood, Michael J. Broyde

St. Thomas Law Review

The central theme and thrust of this article is that Jewish law is comfortable with humans as caretakers of nature, even if that entails "correcting" natural genetic flaws, and that the Jewish tradition has a bi-directional definition of humanness, with one being human either by being from a human mother or by being capable of human thought, and that within those parameters genetic engineering is to be treated like any other form of medical treatment, which is proper when used to benefit humanity.

On Genetic Engineering And The Idea Of The Sacred: A Secular Argument, Gregory E. Kaebnick Jan 2001

On Genetic Engineering And The Idea Of The Sacred: A Secular Argument, Gregory E. Kaebnick

St. Thomas Law Review

In short, we need to be able to argue about the sacred. The next section contains a few brief remarks about the general idea of the sacred and whether we can and how we can argue about the sacred. In the remainder of the paper, consideration is given to the more specific appeal to the sacred made in discussions about genetic engineering, and some defenses of that notion.

Islam And The New Genetics, Mohamed Fadel Jan 2001

Islam And The New Genetics, Mohamed Fadel

St. Thomas Law Review

Muslims, along with other people of conscience, have followed the recent developments in the field of genetics with a combination of awe and trepidation - awe at the ability of modem science to plumb ever more deeply into the mechanics of life, but with fear stemming from suspicion that these discoveries and the incipient technologies developing in their wake permitting the manipulation of life will not be sufficiently controlled by the higher moral purposes imposed upon us by God. Nevertheless, with the exception of human replication by cloning,' Muslim theologians across the board seem willing to adopt a "wait and …

Health Care In America: Why We Need Universal Health Care And Why We Need It Now, James B. Roche Jan 2001

Health Care In America: Why We Need Universal Health Care And Why We Need It Now, James B. Roche

St. Thomas Law Review

The United States is the sole remaining Western democracy to continue to allow a large "percentage of its population to go entirely without health insurance coverage." The world is left to ponder why and how the most affluent nation on the planet can continue with a health care system which is unable to contain costs and leaves over forty million citizens with no health insurance and millions more with inadequate coverage. The failure of the nation's health care delivery system continues to plague the United States in the twenty first century as one of the nation's most important unresolved social …

End-Of-Life Care In Florida: Should The Law Follow The Lobbyists Or The People's Wishes, Alison Cossetti Jan 2001

End-Of-Life Care In Florida: Should The Law Follow The Lobbyists Or The People's Wishes, Alison Cossetti

St. Thomas Law Review

One of the hottest topics on the minds and lips of many Floridians is end-of-life care. This is understandable since the state of Florida contains the largest percentage of elderly individuals, the third highest amount of people afflicted with the AIDS virus, and the fourth largest number of deaths per year from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart disease in the nation. The Florida Legislature realizes that the state is extremely diverse in the areas of ethnicity, race, cultural customs, and religious beliefs, and believes that a person's experience with death, the process of dying, and their choices pertaining to …

Innocent Of Empirical Rigor, Derry Ridgway Jan 2001

Innocent Of Empirical Rigor, Derry Ridgway

St. Thomas Law Review

The paper begins, as the research did, with a review of published judicial decisions concerning the medical care of children. It then examines the role played by medical science in those decisions. The review suggests that when American courts make determinations about children's medical care, they customarily do so without knowing or crediting the relevant and available science - a failure of comprehension - or without applying the available empirical knowledge to the case at hand - a failure of scientific reasoning - or both. The paper concludes with a proposal that might bring future decisions into better alignment with …

Community Participation And Representation In Genetic Studies: Testing The Application Of Fundamental Ethical Principles, Arturo Brito Jan 2001

Community Participation And Representation In Genetic Studies: Testing The Application Of Fundamental Ethical Principles, Arturo Brito

St. Thomas Law Review

Recent advances in the Human Genome Project (HGP) and its promise for the betterment of human health has escalated public consciousness about the science of genetics as well as concern about possible misuse of information garnered from this field. However, it is important to emphasize that neither genetics nor its associated and undesirable ideology of eugenics is new. In fact, eugenics was well established by the close of the 19th century, most influenced by the interpretation of Mendel's famous breeding experiments. Foremost in these explications were the works of biologist Charles Davenport in the United States and the "Victorian polymath" …

Protection For Indigenous Knowledge: An International Law Analysis, Miriam L. Quinn Jan 2001

Protection For Indigenous Knowledge: An International Law Analysis, Miriam L. Quinn

St. Thomas Law Review

A "Medicine Man"' working for the research foundation, Aston Laboratories, lost the cure for cancer. Dr. Robert Campbell, a brilliant research doctor stationed deep in the rainforests of Brazil, is on an assignment that could change the world of medicine forever. He is looking for a type of plant mutation that local medicine men, or witch doctors, use to cure cancer. The research was well-funded for many years until failure to report progress to the sponsoring foundation puts the project on hold. A young scientist, Dr. Rae Crane, goes to his rescue, learns of this magnificent cure and tries to …

Sovereignty Myths And Intergovernmental Realities: The Etiquette Of Tribal Federalism, Alfred R. Light Jan 2001

Sovereignty Myths And Intergovernmental Realities: The Etiquette Of Tribal Federalism, Alfred R. Light

St. Thomas Law Review

Here I wish to make two points. First, as a political scientist speaking to lawyers, I contend that sovereignty and dual sovereignty themselves are largely myths. The reality is a much more complicated and pragmatic intergovernmental relations. Second, as a teacher of constitutional law, speaking to other lawyers, I perceive developments regarding tribal sovereignty to have a haunting familiarity. The United States Supreme Court elaborates a doctrine of "inherent tribal sovereignty" using language strikingly similar to that used in the past to describe "dual sovereignty." American Indian scholars may benefit from a contrast of "dual sovereignty" and "inherent tribal sovereignty."

Exercising Self-Determination Without Jeopardising The Rights Of The Others: The Catalan Model, Puig I. Scotoni Jan 2001

Exercising Self-Determination Without Jeopardising The Rights Of The Others: The Catalan Model, Puig I. Scotoni

St. Thomas Law Review

I have entitled my remarks "Exercising self-determination without jeopardising the rights of the others: the Catalan model."' This is because present day Catalan nationalism strives to make the interests of Catalonia compatible with those of Spain and the European Union. In my opinion, such political restraint and flexibility is one of the most remarkable aspects of the Catalan model.

Making Sense Out Of Nevada V. Hicks: A Reinterpretation, Alex Tallchief Skibine Jan 2001

Making Sense Out Of Nevada V. Hicks: A Reinterpretation, Alex Tallchief Skibine

St. Thomas Law Review

This article will first, summarize the law as it was before Hicks and second, focus on the various concurring opinions found in Hicks. Then, it will analyze the nature of the tribal right to exclude in an attempt to reconcile the results reached by the U.S. Supreme Court in terms of federalist principles. The article continues by arguing that Hicks can be conceived of as a special case requiring a clear statement from Congress before tribal jurisdiction can be judicially acknowledged. Finally, the article concludes by debating whether tribal powers, having been judicially divested, can be resuscitated through legislation, and …

The Transition To College Process In Pr-Cetp Scholars, E. Rivera, M. Rosa, A. Santiago, N. Torres, M. Bravo

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This article describes a study about the experiences of a group of students during the transition from high school to college. The students are future teachers who evidenced a high level of academic achievement in high school and received merit scholarships from the Puerto Rico Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation (PR-CETP). Two groups of students were compared: those who sustained a high GPA during their freshman year, and those who did not and, therefore, no longer qualified for the scholarship. The study was carried out through focused interviews with eight students, from three universities, four of whom maintained the …
