Transient Loss Of Power Of Accommodation In 1 Eye Following Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block: Report Of 2 Cases, Wei Cheong Ngeow, C.K. Shim, W.L. Chai Dec 2006

Transient Loss Of Power Of Accommodation In 1 Eye Following Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block: Report Of 2 Cases, Wei Cheong Ngeow, C.K. Shim, W.L. Chai

Research Publications (2006 to 2010)

Unintended intravascular injection from inferior alveolar nerve blocks can result in frustrating distant complications affecting such structures as the middle ear and eyes. Possible complications affecting the eyes include blurring of vision, diplopia, mydriasis, palpebral ptosis and amaurosis ( temporary or permanent). In this article, we present a complication that has been reported only rarely. Two patients developed transient loss of power of accommodation of the eye resulting in blurred vision after routine inferior alveolar nerve blocks on the ipsilateral side. Clear vision returned within 10 - 15 minutes after completion of the blocks. The possible explanation for this phenomenon …

Letter From The Editor-In-Chief, Allan Young

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The study of entrepreneurial theory and practice has now reached a significant stage at many schools of management and business. However, it appears as though even at those schools which are supposedly highly ranked, the financial aspects of entrepreneurial pursuits seem to be given rather short shrift in comparison with other aspects of entrepreneurial concerns. Nevertheless, for some time now research into IPOs, the activities of venture capitalists (so-called reputable vis-a-vis non-reputable), liquidity concerns of fledgling enterprises, venture capital arms of banks, financial aspects of business angel activities, and other such aspects of financial entrepreneurship have been well within the …


Assessing The Profitability And Riskiness Of Small Business Lenders In The Banking Industry, James W. Kolari, Charles C. Ou, G. Hwan Shin Dec 2006

Assessing The Profitability And Riskiness Of Small Business Lenders In The Banking Industry, James W. Kolari, Charles C. Ou, G. Hwan Shin

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Two alternatives research hypotheses concerning how small business lending affects bank profitability are tested. The specialization hypothesis argues for higher profitability than other banks due to increased focus on small business lending, whereas the diversification hypothesis asserts that small business lenders' profitability will be lower than other more diversified banks. Using the rate of return on assets as the profit measure, we find that small business exposure tends to have neutral or positive effects on bank profitability after taking into account bank risk. Using efficient frontier analyses that focus on the rate of return on equity, we find that business …


Angel Investing: Changing Strategies During Volatile Times, Jeffrey E. Sohl Dec 2006

Angel Investing: Changing Strategies During Volatile Times, Jeffrey E. Sohl

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Changing conditions in the angel market offer a unique opportunity to further knowledge and understanding about angel investing in the US during times of economic volatility. To identify trends in the angel market, this research examines changes in characteristics and investment behavior during a time of market expansion and contraction (2000 to 2001). While business angels remain the leading source of seed capital for business ventures, depressed yield rates and increased due diligence indicate that investors are retreating to more fundamental approaches.


Initial Public Offerings, Subsequent Seasoned Equity Offerings, And Long-Run Performance: Evidence From Ipos In Germany, Wolfgang Bessler, Stefan Thies Dec 2006

Initial Public Offerings, Subsequent Seasoned Equity Offerings, And Long-Run Performance: Evidence From Ipos In Germany, Wolfgang Bessler, Stefan Thies

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The objective of this study is to investigate the long-run performance of initial public offerings (IPO) in Germany for the period from 1977 to 1995. Of particular interest is to examine whether underpricing and the timing of subsequent seasoned equty offerings (SEO) may help to explain why some firms have substantial positive and others have substantial negative long-run abnormal holding period returns after going public. We find significant empirical evidence that firms that raised additional funds after an IPO through a seasoned equity offering outperformed the market. There is a significant difference in returns relative to the firms that had …


The Link Between Ipo Underpricing And Trading Volume: Evidence From The Istanbul Stock Exchange, Aydin Yüksel, Asli Yüksel Dec 2006

The Link Between Ipo Underpricing And Trading Volume: Evidence From The Istanbul Stock Exchange, Aydin Yüksel, Asli Yüksel

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Recent evidence from U.S. markets shows that IPO underpricing is associated with high liquidity for issuing firms. One explanation given for this link is that IPO firms simultaneously decide on share retention and underpricing to maximize aftermarket liquidity. We use data from the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) to provide international evidence. Our results do not support the argument that IPO firms use underpricing as a tool to make up the reduction in liquidity caused by higher share retention. We report that there is an asymmetric relationship between underpricing and trading volume in the short run. However, the positive link between …


An Excursion Into The Venture Capital Industry Stratified By Locations And Industries 1996-2005, Yochanan Shachmurove Dec 2006

An Excursion Into The Venture Capital Industry Stratified By Locations And Industries 1996-2005, Yochanan Shachmurove

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

This paper studies venture capital investment activity in the United States stratified by both locations and industries. Is geographical location an important factor to venture capital investment? Is industry classification important in explaining the amount of dollars invested in venture capital? This paper is motivatd by the reemerging importance of economic geography, and the recognition that industrial location is fundamental to understanding the field of economic geography. The quarterly data are from the MoneyTree Survey, a regularly used source for the financial community. This study affirms that location and industry are important in explaining investment trends in venture capital.

A Soft Landing, Steady Growth, And Accelerating Farm Income, John Austin, Chris Decker, Tom Doering, Ernie Gross, Nick Hernandez, Bruce Johnson, Ken Lemke, Frank Schwarz, Scott Strain, Eric Thompson, Keith Turner Dec 2006

A Soft Landing, Steady Growth, And Accelerating Farm Income, John Austin, Chris Decker, Tom Doering, Ernie Gross, Nick Hernandez, Bruce Johnson, Ken Lemke, Frank Schwarz, Scott Strain, Eric Thompson, Keith Turner

Business in Nebraska

After years of accelerating growth, the U.S. economy achieved a soft landing in 2006. The rate of economic growth remained positive but slowed sufficiently to reduce inflation pressures and the need for further interest rate increases. At the same time the economy remained strong enough to continue the current expansion which has been in place since late 2001. Such a soft landing is vital because it should allow the economy to continue to expand for years to come, but with moderate inflation.

The housing sector played an important role in the U.S. economy’s recent slowdown. Housing prices and con-struction activity …

Lanciotti, Alexandre Macedo De Oliveira, Thomas Boo, Anthony A. Marfin, 2003 West Nile Virus Transfusion-Associated Transmission Investigation Team

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

BACKGROUND: National blood donation screening for West Nile virus (WNV) started in June 2003, after the documentation of WNV transfusion-associated transmission (TAT) in 2002.

STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Blood donations were screened with investigational nucleic acid amplification assays in minipool formats. Blood collection agencies (BCAs) reported screening results to state and local public health authorities. Donor test results and demographic information were forwarded to CDC via ArboNET, the national electronic arbovirus surveillance system. State health departments and BCAs also reported suspect WNV TATs to CDC, which investigated these reports to confirm WNV infection in blood transfusion recipients in the absence …
