Time Course Of Substance P Expression In Dorsal Root Ganglia Following Complete Spinal Nerve Transection, Wendy Weissner, Barbara J. Winterson, Alan Stuart-Tilley, Marshall Devor, Geoffrey M. Bove

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

Recent evidence suggests that substance P (SP) is upregulated in primary sensory neurons following axotomy, and that this change occurs in larger neurons that do not usually produce SP. If so, this upregulation may allow normally neighboring, uninjured, and non-nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons to become effective in activating pain pathways. Using immunohistochemistry, we performed a unilateral L5 spinal nerve transection upon male Wistar rats, and measured SP expression in ipsilateral L4 and L5 DRGs and contralateral L5 DRGs, at 1 to 14 days postoperatively (dpo), and in control and sham operated rats. In normal and sham operated DRGs, …

Molecular Modeling Of Proteins And Peptides Related To Cell Attachment In Vivo And In Vitro, Wanhua Zhao

Doctoral Dissertations

Polypeptides constitute half of the dry mass of the cell, they form the bulk of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and they are a common element of extra- and intracellular signaling pathways. There is increasing interest in the development of computational methods in polypeptide and protein engineering on all length scales. This research concerns the development of computational methods for study of polypeptide interactions related to cell attachment in vivo and in vitro.

Polypeptides are inherently biocompatible, and an astronomical range of unique sequences can be designed and realized in massive quantities by modern methods of synthesis and purification. These …

Why Medical Malpractice Caps Are Wrong, Patrick A. Salvi

Northern Illinois University Law Review

In recent years, many states have passed legislation limiting the amount of recovery in medical malpractice cases. One primary purpose behind these caps is to lower medical malpractice insurance premiums. Unfortunately, damage caps neither reduce malpractice premiums nor prevent premium increases. In addition, damage caps neither lower consumer health care costs nor prevent frivolous litigation. Even worse, damage caps prevent victims of malpractice from being fully compensated for damages they received as a result of another's negligence. Not only are damage caps incapable of effecting tort reform, but they have a catastrophic effect on those victims, who receive unfair and …

The Effects Of The Corporate Diversification Trend On Trademarks, Katherine E. Halmen

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

In today's business world, companies are increasingly adopting diversification strategies through which they expand into diverse and unrelated business areas. Of additional importance with regard to trademarks and the future of trademark law is the fact that the trend toward corporate diversification is growing. To address the impact of the corporate diversification trend upon trademark law, courts have utilized various methodologies. Some courts have focused primarily upon the reasonably prudent consumer and how he or she is affected by corporate diversification. With regard to the use of trademarks on a variety of products, courts have often taken into account whether …

Conditioning Functionality: Untangling The Divergent Strands Of Argument Evidenced By Recent Case Law And Commentary , Justin Pats

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

The protection of trade dress has become increasingly clouded in recent years. A forcethe functionality doctrinehas been implemented to police this intersection between patent and trademark law. Unfortunately, courts have struggled to arrive at a common definition of functionality. This comment examines the functionality doctrine and proposes a four-factor decay test as a uniform approach to functionality. The test asks the following questions regarding a product feature: (1) Is it essential to the use or purpose of the article?; (2) Does it have any current market effect on the cost or quality of the article?; (3) Is there a significant …

Continuing Commercial Impression: Applications And Measurement , Gideon Mark, Jacob Jacoby

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

This Article examines applications and measurement of continuing commercial impression, which is the meaning or idea a trademark or trade dress conveys to consumers. The doctrine is relevant in a variety of contexts, including abandonment, tacking, claim preclusion, and the Morehouse defense. A number of courts considering the issue have concluded that continuing commercial impression is a pure question of law. This article argues that such a view is incorrect, and that the doctrine should present a mixed question of law and fact. In determining whether continuing commercial impression exists, the sole factor should not be the visual or aural …

Technology As A Cultural Force: For Alena And Griffin, Albert Borgmann

Philosophy Faculty Publications

To various degrees, the citizens of the advanced industrial countries are suffering from a crisis that is as profound as it is vague and therefore hard to deal with. The problem is particularly acute in the United States, however, and in what follows, some of the illustrations pertain particularly to that country, the one I live in and know best. In any case, though vagueness obscures the crisis, there have to be symptoms of some sort; otherwise we would not feel troubled. What are the signs of trouble in the culture of technology and democracy? First there are economic problems …

Religious Group Autonomy: Further Reflections About What Is At Stake, Kathleen A. Brady

Working Paper Series

This article addresses the protections afforded by the First Amendment when government regulation interferes with the internal activities or affairs of religious groups. In previous pieces, I have argued that the First Amendment should be construed to provide religious groups a broad right of autonomy over all aspects of internal group operations, those that are clearly religious in nature as well as activities that seem essentially secular. In my view, such autonomy is necessary to preserve the ability of religious groups to generate, live out and communicate their own visions for social life, including ideas that can push the norms …

Predictors Of Influenza Immunization Among Home Care Clients In Ontario, John P. Hirdes, Dawn M. Dalby, R. Knight Steel, G. Iain Carpenter, Roberto Bernabei, John N. Morris, Brant E. Fries

Kinesiology and Physical Education Faculty Publications

Background: This study examined factors associated with the receipt of influenza vaccination among Ontario home care clients.

Methods: Home care clients were assessed, as part of a routine home visit, during a pilot study of the Resident Assessment Instrument – Home Care (RAI-HC) in 12 Ontario Community Care Access Centres (CCACs). The RAI-HC is a multidimensional assessment that identifies clients’ needs and level of functional ability. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with influenza immunization in the two years prior to assessment.

Results: The overall rate of immunization reached about 80% by 2002. Factors …

A Public Policy Analysis: The Effect Of Issue Framing And The Policy Network On Environmental Tobacco Smoke Bylaw Development In Peel Region, Deborah Keen

MPA Major Research Papers

This paper examines the decision-making process used by local officials in the Region of Peel in the development of the environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) bylaw based on an analysis of literature, public documents, and media accounts. The findings reveal that the factors consistent with a weak policy outcome were evident in the decision-making process, including the poor networking skills of external proponents, a strong network of opponents, the primary use of an economic frame, and a council that was receptive to economic arguments.

Perception Precedes Computation: Can Familiarity Preferences Explain Apparent Calculation By Human Babies?, David S. Moore, Laura A. Cocas

Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research

Two studies of 5-month-old infants explored whether a phenomenon reported by K. Wynn (1992) reflects a familiarity preference instead of a mathematical competence. Experiment 1 was a conceptual replication of Wynn's study. When data were analyzed with the relatively liberal statistical approach used by Wynn, the original phenomenon was replicated. However, an analysis of variance revealed that girls and boys behaved in different ways, and that boys did not behave as Wynn would have predicted. Experiment 2 was identical to Experiment 1, with one exception that should not have influenced computation: Infants in this study were completely familiarized with the …
