Rural Nebraskans And Health Care In Retirement, Randolph L. Cantrell, Miguel A. Carranza, Bruce B. Johnson, David J. Peters, Rebecca J. Vogt

Publications from the Center for Applied Rural Innovation (CARI)

• Rural Nebraskans are concerned about health and health care during their retirement.

• Concerns over health care needs are likely to influence where older Nebraskans choose to reside.

• The perceived need to provide personal health insurance for oneself is likely to keep older rural Nebraskans in the labor force.

• Upon retirement, rural Nebraskans expect to finance their health care in a variety of ways, but expect to rely most heavily upon Medicare.

• Reliance upon family and friends for any level of health care support is seen as an unlikely option by most rural Nebraskans.

Where Do Rural Nebraskans Plan To Retire?, David J. Peters, Randolph L. Cantrell, Miguel A. Carranza, Bruce B. Johnson, Rebecca J. Vogt

Brief Therapy: The Process Of Change And Episodes Of Care, J. Scott Fraser, Andy Solovey

School of Professional Psychology Faculty Publications

Brief therapy seems to be all the rage today. In most countries, third party payers, government health bodies, and service provider agencies are increasingly demanding “cost-benefit” or “cost-effectiveness” support for all outpatient psychotherapy. Employers supporting employee assistance programs, to help workers through life difficulties, are equally interested in the most time-effective interventions to retain valued employees and restore their productivity. In truth, it is the rare client who wouldn’t choose a treatment promising the quickest resolution to their distress. Yet, what is brief therapy, and is the pressure to practice it causing more problems for practitioners than the approach promises …

An Evaluation Of The Effect Of Dc’S Voucher Program On Public School Achievement And Racial Integration After One Year, Jay P. Greene, Marcus A. Winters

Journal of Catholic Education

This study evaluates the initial effect of Washing, DC’s Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) on the academic performance of public schools and its effects on the opportunities that District students have to attend integrated schools. The OSP is a federally sponsored school voucher program that provides vouchers worth up to $7,500 for an estimated 1,800 to 2,000 students in the District of Columbia. The authors measure whether a public school’s test-score gains are related to its distance to the nearest voucher-accepting private school or the number of voucher schools within a one-mile radius of a public school. The evaluation finds that …

Causation In Tort: General Populations Vs. Individual Cases, Cass R. Sunstein, William Meadow

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

To establish causation, a tort plaintiff must show that it is "more probable than not" that the harm would not have occurred if the defendant had followed the relevant standard of care. Statistical evidence, based on aggregate data, is sometimes introduced to show that the defendant's conduct created a statistically significant increase in the likelihood that the harm would occur. But there is a serious problem with the use of such evidence: It does not establish that in the particular case, the injury was more likely than not to have occurred because the defendant behaved negligently. Under existing doctrine, a …

Aromatase And Cox In Breast Cancer: Enzyme Inhibitors And Beyond, Robert W. Brueggemeier, Bin Su, Yasuro Sugimoto, Edgar S. Diaz-Cruz, Danyetta D. Davis

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Aromatase expression and enzyme activity in breast cancer patients is greater in or near the tumor tissue compared with the normal breast tissue. Complex regulation of aromatase expression in human tissues involves alternative promoter sites that provide tissue-specific control. Previous studies in our laboratories suggested a strong association between aromatase (CYP19) gene expression and the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX) genes. Additionally, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and COX selective inhibitors can suppress CYP19 gene expression and decrease aromatase activity. Our current hypothesis is that pharmacological regulation of aromatase and/or cyclooxygenases can act locally to decrease the biosynthesis of estrogen and may …

Ebpr Is Important For Biofilm Formation By Activating Expression Of The Endocarditis And Biofilm-Associated Pilus Operon (Ebpabc) Of Enterococcus Faecalis Og1rf, Agathe Bourgogne, Kavindra V Singh, Kristina A Fox, Kathryn J Pflughoeft, Barbara E Murray, Danielle A Garsin

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

We identify ef1090 (renamed ebpR) and show its importance for the transcriptional regulation of expression of the Enterococcus faecalis pilus operon, ebpABC. An ebpR deletion (DeltaebpR) mutant was found to have reduced ebpABC expression with loss of pilus production and a defect in primary adherence with, as a consequence, reduced biofilm formation.

Spiroplasma Spp. From Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Brains Or Ticks Induce Spongiform Encephalopathy In Ruminants, Frank O. Bastian, Dearl E. Sanders, Will A. Forbes, Sue D. Hagius, Joel V. Walker, William G. Henk, Fred M. Enright, Philip H. Elzer

Faculty Publications

Spiroplasma, small motile wall-less bacteria, are linked by molecular and serological studies to the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), which include scrapie in sheep, chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. In this study, two experiments were undertaken to determine the role of spiroplasma in the pathogenesis of TSE. In experiment 1, Spiroplasma mirum, a rabbit tick isolate that had previously been shown to experimentally induce spongiform encephalopathy in rodents, was inoculated intracranially (IC) into ruminants. S. mirum-inoculated deer manifested clinical signs of TSE after 1.5 to 5.5 months incubation. The deer, as well as sheep and …

Epitope Mapping Of Hsv-1 Glycoprotein K (Gk) Reveals A T Cell Epitope Located Within The Signal Domain Of Gk, Yanira Osorio, Kevin R. Mott, Abdul M. Jabbar, Alberto Moreno, Timothy P. Foster, Konstantin G. Kousoulas, Homayon Ghiasi

Faculty Publications

Glycoprotein K (gK) is a virion envelope component of herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2), which plays an important role in virion morphogenesis and egress. We previously demonstrated that immunization of mice with gK, but not with any of the 10 other HSV-1 glycoproteins, resulted in exacerbation of corneal scarring and herpetic dermatitis following ocular HSV-1 infection. However, little is known about the gK epitope(s) that is (are) involved in T cell activities in vitro or in vivo. Thus, epitope mapping of gK was performed using a panel of 15-mer peptides with five-amino acid overlaps spanning the …

Comparative Microbiota Of Rickettsia Felis-Uninfected And -Infected Colonized Cat Fleas, Ctenocephalides Felis, Walairat Pornwiroon, Michael T. Kearney, Claudia Husseneder, Lane D. Foil, Kevin R. Macaluso

Faculty Publications

Fleas serve as arthropod vectors for several emerging and re-emerging infectious disease causing agents including, Rickettsia felis. Although the prevalence of R. felis infection in colonies of fleas has been examined, the influence of the R. felis infection on flea microbiota has not been investigated. We identified three colonies of cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis, with varying prevalence of R. felis infection (Louisiana State University (LSU), 93.8; Professional Laboratory and Research Services Inc. (PLRS), 16.4; Elward II (EL), 0) and subsequently utilized polymerase chain reaction amplification, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and sequencing of the 1.4-kb portions of 16S rRNA genes …

Some Immunologic Evaluations Of Toxoplasmosis In Iraqi Aborted Females, Ali H. Ad’Hiah, Amna N. Jasim, Salma K. F. Al-Sheikh

Baghdad Science Journal

Forty-eight aborted women (Iraqi Arab Muslims) at the first trimester with a serological evidence of toxoplasmosis were investigated. Two age- and ethnic-matched control groups were included: 40 aborted women due to accidental events (Control I), and 40 unmarried (virgin) women (Control II). The subjects were evaluated for the following parameters: HLA-class I antigens (A, B and Cw), blood groups, total and differential counts of leukocytes, lymphocyte subpopulations (CD3+, CD4+ and CD20+ cells), phagocytosis of heat-killed yeast (phagocytic index and NBT index), and total serum levels of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG and IgM) and complement components (C3 and C4). The HLA-A2 and …

The Limnological Effects Of River Lesser-Zab On Tigris River, Iraq, Thaer I. Kassim, Anmar W. Sabri, Mohammed S. Salman

Baghdad Science Journal

The present study included the physico-chemical parameters of Lesser-Zab river and its effects on Tigris river. Monthly water samples were taken from the two rivers during January to October 1999.There were no signifcant difference in water temperatures. Both rivers were fresh to oligohalin, alkaline and very hard. Close values were determined in total suspended solids in both rivers with little increasing during rainfall period and high discharge. Water was well areated and over saturation was recorded in several occasions. Dissolved oxygen values of Tigris river were influenced by Lesser-Zab. Cations were more dominant than anions in both rivers. In Lesser-Zab, …
