Microvascular Endothelial Cells Express A Phosphatidylserine Receptor: A Functionally Active Receptor For Phosphatidylserine-Positive Erythrocytes, Yamaja Setty, Suhita Gayen Betal

Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers

Phosphatidylserine (PS)-positive erythrocytes adhere to endothelium and subendothelial matrix components. While thrombospondin mediates these inter-actions, it is unknown whether PS-associated erythrocyte-endothelial adhesion occurs in the absence of plasma ligands. Using ionophore-treated PS-expressing control HbAA erythrocytes, we demonstrate that PS-positive erythrocytes adhered to human lung microendothelial cells in the absence of plasma ligands, that this adhesion was enhanced following endothelial activation with IL-1alpha, TNF-alpha, LPS, hypoxia, and heme, and that this adhesive interaction was selective to erythrocyte PS. We next explored whether microendothelial cells express an adhesion receptor that recognizes cell surface-expressed PS (PSR) similar to that expressed on activated macrophages. …

An Assessment Of The Causes Of Conflict In Nepal, Bishwa Nath Tiwari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

With the end of cold war, the nature and consequences of conflict changed significantly. Today there is conflict more between the people of a country than between countries. Thus, the reasons of conflict are changing with the lapse of time. As the number of deaths owing to conflict has been accelerating in the recent decades, it is utmost important to look into its causes. Against this backdrop the present study makes a modest attempt to find out the causes and correlates of conflict and its intensity using data of a cross section of 75 districts of Nepal.

Occupational Health Injuries Among Health Care Workers At Moi Teaching & Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya, Camlus Otieno

Family and Community Medicine Research and Scholarship

Context: Occupational Health and Safety legislation usually demands that a risk assessment be done prior to making an intervention. This assessment should: identify the risk, identify all affected by the hazard and how,identify and prioritize the required actions in response to the risk. This study was conducted in the context of Community Based Education & Service programme. It brought about a proper understanding of the nature and cause of Occupational health injuries amongst our healthcare workers.

National Livestock And Poultry Environmental Learning Center, Richard K. Koelsch, Mark Risse, Joe Harrison, Jill Heemstra

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Presentations and White Papers

This paper describes a new national learning center designed to improve the delivery of science-based information to non-research customers. The vision of the Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center is to provide individuals involved in public policy issues, animal production, and delivery of technical services for confined animal systems with on-demand access to the nation’s best science-based resources that is responsive to priority and emerging environmental issues associated with animal agriculture. This project will test innovative approaches such as a web cast seminar series to connect national experts with those individuals and organizations that influence animal producer decisions on manure …

Software Tool For Integrating Feed Management Into Nutrient Planning, Richard K. Koelsch, Ray Massey, Galen E. Erickson, Virgil R. Bremer

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Presentations and White Papers

The introduction of ASABE Standard D384.2, Manure Production and Characteristics, has created the opportunity to integrate feed management decisions and animal performance measures into nutrient planning processes. This paper introduces a software tool that integrates estimates of nutrient excretion based on the new standard with estimates of land need, labor and equipment time allocation, and economic cost and benefit for manure application. This tool will be used to evaluate the economic implications for two scenarios using beef cattle examples as a means of illustrating tool application. The first scenario will look at the impact of feeding ethanol co-products on the …

Analyzing Direct Effects In Randomized Trials With Secondary Interventions , Michael Rosenblum, Nicholas P. Jewell, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Stephen Shiboski, Ariane Van Der Straten, Nancy Padian

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

The Methods for Improving Reproductive Health in Africa (MIRA) trial is a recently completed randomized trial that investigated the effect of diaphragm and lubricant gel use in reducing HIV infection among susceptible women. 5,045 women were randomly assigned to either the active treatment arm or not. Additionally, all subjects in both arms received intensive condom counselling and provision, the "gold standard" HIV prevention barrier method. There was much lower reported condom use in the intervention arm than in the control arm, making it difficult to answer important public health questions based solely on the intention-to-treat analysis. We adapt an analysis …

Climate Change, Human Health, And The Post-Cautionary Principle, Lisa Heinzerling

O'Neill Institute Papers

In this Article, I suggest two different but related ways of reframing the public discourse on climate change. First, I propose that we move further in the direction of characterizing climate change as a public health threat and not only as an environmental threat. Second, I argue that we should stop thinking of responses to climate change in terms of the precautionary principle, which counsels action even in the absence of scientific consensus about a threat. We should speak instead in terms of a ?post-cautionary? principle for a post-cautionary world, in which some very bad effects of climate change are …

Identification Of Insect-Selective And Mammal-Selective Toxins From Parabuthus Leiosoma Venom, John B. Ochola, Wilber Lwande, Thuku Thiong'o, Lucie Rogo, Rafael Herrmann, Eric Schepers, Richard Bagine, Paul Mungai, Isaiah O. Ndiege

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Venoms were collected from two scorpion species: Parabuthus leiosoma and Parabuthus pallidus from Kenya. Subcutaneous injection and oral toxicity tests of crude and pure fractions of scorpion venoms were done in Mus musculus (mice), Chilo partellus and Busseola fusca. The highest activity against C. partellus was found in P. leiosoma venom (LC50 0.689 mg/50 mg body weight). Bioassay-guided purification by a combination of cation-exchange (CE) and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) led to the isolation of three toxic peptides. A lepidopteran-selective toxin (P. leiosoma insect toxin, Plit) was isolated, and the partial N-terminal amino acid sequence (-KDGYPVDNANCKYE-) plus the molecular …

Western Diet, But Not High Fat Diet, Causes Derangements Of Fatty Acid Metabolism And Contractile Dysfunction In The Heart Of Wistar Rats, Christopher R Wilson, Mai K Tran, Katrina L Salazar, Martin E Young, Heinrich Taegtmeyer

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Obesity and diabetes are associated with increased fatty acid availability in excess of muscle fatty acid oxidation capacity. This mismatch is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac contractile dysfunction and also in the development of skeletal-muscle insulin resistance. We tested the hypothesis that 'Western' and high fat diets differentially cause maladaptation of cardiac- and skeletal-muscle fatty acid oxidation, resulting in cardiac contractile dysfunction. Wistar rats were fed on low fat, 'Western' or high fat (10, 45 or 60% calories from fat respectively) diet for acute (1 day to 1 week), short (4-8 weeks), intermediate (16-24 weeks) or long (32-48 weeks) …

Environmental Health Information Systems: More Than Just Gigabytes, Christopher R. Cook

Master of Public Health Program Student Publications

Environmental health professionals are concerned about bites. Animal bites, mosquito bites, and tick bites to name a few. But what about bytes of data? Environmental health information systems (EHIS) are often the "silent partners" in an environmental health (EH) department's daily protection of public health. By Webster's dictionary definition, a silent partner is a cohort that does not have the right to participate in an organization's management process. The purpose of this study was to encourage public health officials to make EHIS full partners in their EH departments. Through the use of five surveys, this study was designed to increase …
