Dental Hygiene Faculty Publications

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) and gingival health status and to determine if volatile sulfur compounds can detect early dental plaque-induced gingival disease. Methods. A split-mouth design with randomly selected quadrants of the mandibular arch enabled 39 participants to serve as their own controls.

Oral Cancer Prevalence In Virginia, Karin C. Loftin, Michele Darby, Stacey Plichta, Sophie Thompson, Shreeram Kumar, Louis Abbey

Dental Hygiene Faculty Publications

Even though the prevalence of oral cancer is relatively low in the younger age groups, this group is most likely to benefit from intervention programs designed to change risky behavior such as smoking, and to prevent oral cancer in the later years. The goal of the study was to identify high-risk target areas for an oral cancer prevention program in …

Cross-Cultural Lawyering By The Book: The Latest Clinical Texts And A Sketch Of A Future Agenda, Ascanio Piomelli Jan 2006

Cross-Cultural Lawyering By The Book: The Latest Clinical Texts And A Sketch Of A Future Agenda, Ascanio Piomelli

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

Over the past decade, the literature on lawyering has paid increased attention to the impact of cultural differences on interactions between attorneys and clients. This essay assesses the latest generation of clinical textbooks on interviewing and counseling and how they seek to prepare student-lawyers for crosscultural work. It highlights differences in these textbooks' definitions of culture, measures of crosscultural success, descriptions of the dimensions along which cultures differ, the side(s) of the lawyer-client relationship on which they focus, and the behaviors they suggest. The essay argues these texts are at their best when they define culture both broadly and fluidly, …

The Color Of Sexual Harassment And The Public/Private Divide, Janeille Zorina Matthews Jan 2006

The Color Of Sexual Harassment And The Public/Private Divide, Janeille Zorina Matthews

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

This article argues that the conception of sexual harassment as simply a gendered harm is inadequate because sexual harassment is not only about gender but also about race, class, sexual orientation and other realities of existence. Sexual harassment is about power and about keeping particular women out of particular economic spheres. Using the Commonwealth Caribbean as an example, this article concludes that an intersectional understanding of sexual harassment, and a more nuanced understanding of the public/private divide, will lead to better workplace harassment legislation. While much of the focus is on the Commonwealth Caribbean, a North American example suggests that …

Civil Claims For Uncivilized Acts: Filing Suit Against The Government For American Indian Boarding School Abuses, Andrea A. Curcio

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

This country's history is replete with evidence that the United States government deliberately caused the deaths of millions of American Indians. What is less well-known is the government's attempt to destroy the American Indian peoples by forcing generations of American Indian children to attend off-reservation boarding schools. In this article, Professor Curcio describes the use of government-run boarding schools as a way to destroy American Indian childrens' connections to their peoples, and ultimately, as a way to destroy the American Indian peoples. She discusses the schools' harsh and deadly living conditions and the schools' destructive impact upon generations of American …

Fda, Clia, Or A "Reasonable Combination Of Both": Toward Increased Regulatory Oversight Of Genetic Testing, Douglas A. Grimm

University of San Francisco Law Review

This Article examines the current regulatory scheme for genetic testing and calls for a unification of the testing standards. It advocates consolidating the standards under a single governmental agency, FDA, in order to ameliorate the potential for immediate and future harm to patients and their families.
