The Epidemic Of The Metabolic Syndrome, Wael N. Elabbassi, Haissam A. Haddad Mar 2005

The Epidemic Of The Metabolic Syndrome, Wael N. Elabbassi, Haissam A. Haddad

Saudi Medical Journal

The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is rising worldwide. This is partly due to a significant increase in the prevalence of obesity. Observational cross-sectional studies as well as demographic health surveys from the Middle East, point out that the prevalence of obesity increases from an average of 6% in healthy children to 20% in adolescent males and to a further 32% in elderly patients. The impact of obesity on our population is expected to be considerable; especially, as it feeds into further rising in the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, MS and cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of MS in nondiabetic adults …

Determinants Of Physical Activity And Low-Fat Diet Among Low Income African American And Hispanic Middle School Students, Marilyn Frenn, Shelly Malin, Antonia M. Villarruel, Kimberly Slaikeu, Stephanie Mccarthy, Joan Freeman, Erinn Nee Mar 2005

Determinants Of Physical Activity And Low-Fat Diet Among Low Income African American And Hispanic Middle School Students, Marilyn Frenn, Shelly Malin, Antonia M. Villarruel, Kimberly Slaikeu, Stephanie Mccarthy, Joan Freeman, Erinn Nee

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

African Americans, Hispanics, and those with low income experience disproportionate health problems that can be prevented by physical activity and a lower fat diet. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, antecedents of diet and exercise within the Health Promotion/Transtheoretical Model were examined among low-income African American and Hispanic seventh-grade students (n = 127). Total support was associated with higher physical activity for girls. African Americans perceived greater social support for activity than Hispanics. Family models and support for physical activity and low-fat diet were greater as family income increased. However, higher family role models and lower dietary fat were found …

In Vitro Toxicity Of Cadmium Oxide Particles In Brl 3a Rat Liver Cells, Janice M. Shelley Mar 2005

In Vitro Toxicity Of Cadmium Oxide Particles In Brl 3a Rat Liver Cells, Janice M. Shelley

Theses and Dissertations

For the last decade or so, in vitro toxicology has been studied as a method for determining human toxicity, as well as hazard identification and characterization. One purpose of in vitro studies is to determine the possibility of developing systems in which the toxicity of chemicals can be quantified, without heavy reliance on animal experimentation. Specific data pertaining to cadmium toxicity in humans through use of in vitro methods and models is sparse, at best. There is a need to complete more studies and collect more data to study particular chemicals and their effects and to complete proper evaluation and …

Effect Of Heat Schock On Browning-Related Enzymes In Minimally Processed Iceberg Lettuce And Crude Extracts, Ana Belen Martin-Diana, Daniel Rico, Catherine Barry-Ryan, Jemina Mulcahy, Jesus Maria Frias, Gary Henehan Mar 2005

Effect Of Heat Schock On Browning-Related Enzymes In Minimally Processed Iceberg Lettuce And Crude Extracts, Ana Belen Martin-Diana, Daniel Rico, Catherine Barry-Ryan, Jemina Mulcahy, Jesus Maria Frias, Gary Henehan

Articles

The effects of heat shock on PPO and POD activity in minimally processed Iceberg lettuce was examined during storage (10 days). The results were compared with the effect of temperature on crude extracts of these enzymes (in vitro analysis). Fresh-cut lettuce washed at 50 °C showed significantly lower PPO and POD activity throughout storage than lettuce washed at 4 °C and 25 °C. These results were consistent with a sensory analysis in which the panellists found the lowest browning scores in those samples treated at 50 °C. When PPO and POD were analysed in vitro, the samples treated …

Meeting The Needs Of Older Men: Challenges For Those In Helping Professions, Jordan I. Kosberg

The W Visa: A Legislative Proposal For Female And Child Refugees Trapped In A Post-9/11 World, Marisa S. Cianciarulo Feb 2005

The W Visa: A Legislative Proposal For Female And Child Refugees Trapped In A Post-9/11 World, Marisa S. Cianciarulo

Working Paper Series

This article addresses an urgent humanitarian crisis affecting unaccompanied or abused refugee children and widowed, divorced, abandoned or abused female heads of refugee households. Such women and children suffer the consequences of the post-9/11 U.S. refugee resettlement backlog more severely than the general refugee population. They are far more at risk of life-threatening harm such as trafficking, sexual exploitation and rape. Moreover, they are far less likely to present a threat to U.S. national security than many people who are able to secure visas to the United States quickly and with fewer background checks. Despite their vulnerability and lack of …

Effects Of Radiotransmitters On Fecal Glucocorticoid Metabolite Levels Of Three-Toed Box Turtles In Captivity, Chadwick D. Rittenhouse, Joshua J. Millspaugh, Brian E. Washburn, Michael W. Hubbard Feb 2005

Effects Of Radiotransmitters On Fecal Glucocorticoid Metabolite Levels Of Three-Toed Box Turtles In Captivity, Chadwick D. Rittenhouse, Joshua J. Millspaugh, Brian E. Washburn, Michael W. Hubbard

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The increased use of radio-telemetry for studying movement, resource selection, and population demographics in reptiles necessitates closer examination of the assumption that radiotransmitter attachment does not bias study results. We determined the effects of radiotransmitter attachment on fecal glucocorticoid metabolite levels of wild three-toed box turtles (Terrapene carolina triunguis) in captivity. During May 2002 we captured 11 adult three-toed box turtles in central Missouri. We housed turtles in individual pens in a semi-natural outdoor setting. We radio-tagged 6 turtles, and the remaining 5 turtles served as controls. We captured and handled all turtles similarly during treatments. We collected …

The study examined the average number of hours per week in which school psychologists engage in mental health services and the types of mental health services in which they engage. Factors such as training, desire to deliver mental health services, time available and support for mental health services were investigated. The database that served as the basis for these analyses had been created by mailing a survey to 1000 …

Alfalfa: Crop For The Future, N. P. Martin, R. D. Hatfield, D. R. Mertens, P. J. Weimer Feb 2005

Alfalfa: Crop For The Future, N. P. Martin, R. D. Hatfield, D. R. Mertens, P. J. Weimer

Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference

Alfalfa use by dairy cattle has decreased in recent years because of excessive nonprotein nitrogen and low fiber digestibility. Ideal attributes for plant modification of alfalfa may include those that increase milk potential per acre and/or per ton, enhance digestible NDF, improve protein content and amino acid balance, improve agronomic traits for insect protection (safer forage supply), herbicide tolerance, virus resistance, drought tolerance, cold tolerance, improved mineral availability and enhanced yield. Progress in attaining these attributes will accelerate with the use of biotechnology. Livestock and hay enterprises will benefit from alfalfa that is less prone to contain mycotoxins or toxic …

Growing Alfalfa For Wildlife, Don Ball Feb 2005

Growing Alfalfa For Wildlife, Don Ball

Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference

Alfalfa has long been recognized as a superb forage crop, which is why it is widely grown for dairy cattle, horses, sheep, and many other types of domesticated forage-consuming animals. Reasons for its popularity include wide adaptation, excellent nutritive value, good yield potential, perennial growth habit, a long growing season, and the fact that (in association with Rhizobium bacteria) it is a nitrogen-fixing legume that does not require periodic applications of nitrogen fertilizer.
