Aids: The Tragedy Facing Children In Sub-Sahara Africa, Katherine Sipes
Aids: The Tragedy Facing Children In Sub-Sahara Africa, Katherine Sipes
Senior Honors Theses
Few things affect the entire world, and HIV/AIDS is one of them. While the whole world is affected by this terrible disease, the area of sub-Sahara Africa has been affected the most with large quantities now suffering because of HIV/AIDS. Children have become major sufferers of HIV/AIDS, both from having the disease passed on to them and from being orphaned as parents die of AIDS. When numbers are combined, four countries alone in sub-Sahara Africa have together over 660,000 children with HIV/AIDS and over four million orphans. It is important to know what is being done to help the sufferers …
Tuberculosis In Developing Nations: Why New Drugs Need To Be Researched And Developed, Sarah Ott
Tuberculosis In Developing Nations: Why New Drugs Need To Be Researched And Developed, Sarah Ott
Senior Honors Theses
Pharmacologic treatment for tuberculosis is widely available in developing nations, and is often financed by the governments of these countries. Treatment however can be highly toxic and require a lengthy duration of therapy. There are now many strains of tuberculosis that are drug resistant. People in impoverished nations frequently cannot afford to pay for transportation to and from treatment facilities. Research and development of new tuberculosis drugs is necessary given the presence of resistance and toxicity of the existing drugs. Newer agents that require shorter treatment duration with decreased toxicity and increased efficacy are most desirable and needed in developing …
Lost In Translation : Ideas Of Population Health Determinants In The American Policy Arena, Maria Gilson Sistrom
Lost In Translation : Ideas Of Population Health Determinants In The American Policy Arena, Maria Gilson Sistrom
Dissertations and Theses
A growing body of research reveals the determinants of population health to be social, political and economic, yet health policy in the United States remains largely individualistic (Evans, Barer, & Marmor, 1994). At the same time research is revealing these structural determinants of health, measures of population health in the United States are worsening in comparison to other developed countries (Bezruchka, 2001). Explanations for this include the influence of culture, medical, public health and governmental institutions and historic development and processes on health policy. Researchers hold to a view of the policy process that is informed by science, yet policy …
Medication Treatment And Neuropsychological Functioning In Perinatal Hiv, Monica E. Bocanegra
Medication Treatment And Neuropsychological Functioning In Perinatal Hiv, Monica E. Bocanegra
Open Access Dissertations
This study confirmed whether children on the current treatment of choice for HIV infection, Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment (HAART), exhibit better immune functioning than children on earlier forms of treatment, including sole exposure to Monotherapy/Combination Therapy (Mono-Combo) and "upgrading" from Mono-Combo to HAART (Conversion). It explored whether HAART protects areas of neuropsychological functioning previously found to be compromised in children perinatally infected with HIV more effectively than these earlier treatments. This study includes a unique population (i.e., predominantly minority, low SES status, and largely bilingual), and controls for a number of treatment variables that have not been previously considered. Using …

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Among Wrestlers At A Private University In The Southern United States, Kalpana Bhandari
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Among Wrestlers At A Private University In The Southern United States, Kalpana Bhandari
Senior Honors Theses
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing threat among athletes. With the discovery of antibiotics, many people believed the problems associated with infectious diseases ended, but a new problem of antibiotic resistance has emerged. Mutated forms of bacteria soon developed resistance to antibiotics. A methicillin resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus referred to as MRSA was first seen in hospitals and is now considered a major source of nosocomial infection. For a number of years non-hospital associated or Community Associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) has been seen among individuals living in crowded settings. Athletes, including wrestlers, have been particularly prone to these …
Molecular Identification And Analysis Of Treponematosis (Syphilis, Bejel, Yaws, Or Pinta) In Ancient Mummified Remains From Northern Chile And Southern Peru, Michelle Kaye
Anthropology
The sequencing of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis, and the identification of a family of 12 genes with sequence similarity that allows scientists to distinguish between treponemal subtypes has opened up a new line of inquiry for biological anthropologists. This research contributes genetic evidence of pre-contact treponematosis in the Americas; by combining osteological and molecular evidence with data on environment and cultural practices, it also furthers our knowledge of human-pathogen interaction. This research assessed the presence of treponematosis, a bacterial spirochete, in the DNA of skeletal and mummified human remains from northern Chilean cemeteries dating from …

The Effects Of Triclosan Derivatives Against The Growth Of Staphylococcus Aureus, Joseph R. Grubbs Jr.
The Effects Of Triclosan Derivatives Against The Growth Of Staphylococcus Aureus, Joseph R. Grubbs Jr.
Senior Honors Theses
Triclosan is an antimicrobial commonly used in many different antiseptics and everyday products. Unfortunately, many bacteria are now resistant to triclosan due to innate resistance, mutations in the fabI gene, and/or overexpression of certain other genes (soxS, marA, and an efflux pump encoded by acrAB). Therefore, it is essential that drugs be developed to destroy bacteria now resistant to triclosan. In this experiment, four different derivatives of triclosan were tested for antibacterial capabilities under the supervision of Dr. Hubbard at Liberty University. The derivatives were synthesized by Professor McGibbon (professor of organic chemistry at LU). Solutions of 4.0 ug/mL of …
Short-Course Versus Long-Course Antibiotic Therapy For Non-Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia In Children Aged 2 Months To 59 Months, Batool A. Haider, Muhammad Ammad Saeed, Zulfiqar Ahmed Bhutta
Short-Course Versus Long-Course Antibiotic Therapy For Non-Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia In Children Aged 2 Months To 59 Months, Batool A. Haider, Muhammad Ammad Saeed, Zulfiqar Ahmed Bhutta
Department of Paediatrics and Child Health
Background: Pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality in children under five years of age. Treatment of pneumonia requires an effective antibiotic used in adequate doses for an appropriate duration. Recommended duration of treatment ranges between 7 and 14 days, but this is not based on any empirical evidence. Shorter duration of therapy, if found to be effective, could be particularly important in resource-poor settings where there is a high risk of death, poor access to medicines and health care, and limited budgets for medicines.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of short- course versus long-course therapy with the same antibiotic …

Local Bacteriological Survey: Isolation And Characterization Of Bacteria In Two Lynchburg Parks, Rachel S. Hassenpflug
Local Bacteriological Survey: Isolation And Characterization Of Bacteria In Two Lynchburg Parks, Rachel S. Hassenpflug
Senior Honors Theses
Water samples were collected from the bodies of water at Peaks View Park and Percival’s Isle Park in Lynchburg, Virginia in two separate trials per collection site. The samples were filtered to isolate bacteria present in the water. The filters were placed on Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA) and Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) plates and incubated to obtain colony counts of the bacteria. Subsequently, distinct colonies were selected from the filtration plates and streaked for isolation. Isolates were subjected to a variety of analytical methods and thereby identified by genus and species. Fifteen different species were identified from twenty-three different samples. …
Susceptibility Of Chlamydia Trachomatis To The Excipient Hydroxy-Ethylcellulose: Ph And Concentration Dependence Of Antimicrobial Activity, Ali A. Abdul-Sater, David M. Ojcius, M. P. Meyer
Susceptibility Of Chlamydia Trachomatis To The Excipient Hydroxy-Ethylcellulose: Ph And Concentration Dependence Of Antimicrobial Activity, Ali A. Abdul-Sater, David M. Ojcius, M. P. Meyer
All Dugoni School of Dentistry Faculty Articles
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is used as a neutral excipient in microbicides used against sexually transmitted pathogens. However, HEC inhibits the infection of cervical epithelial cells by Chlamydia trachomatis at pH 5 in a concentration-dependent manner. At pH 7, infection is inversely dependent on the concentration of HEC, possibly due to pH-dependent calcium sequestration.

A Distinct Role For B1b Lymphocytes In T Cell-Independent Immunity, Kishore R. Alugupalli
A Distinct Role For B1b Lymphocytes In T Cell-Independent Immunity, Kishore R. Alugupalli
Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers
Pathogenesis of infectious disease is not only determined by the virulence of the microbe but also by the immune status of the host. Vaccination is the most effective means to control infectious diseases. A hallmark of the adaptive immune system is the generation of B cell memory, which provides a long-lasting protective antibody response that is central to the concept of vaccination. Recent studies revealed a distinct function for B1b lymphocytes, a minor subset of mature B cells that closely resembles that of memory B cells in a number of aspects. In contrast to the development of conventional B cell …

Surrogate Markers Of Success In The Bariatric Surgery Population, Alain Ramirez
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between pre-operative weight loss, weight loss programs, and clinic attendance relative to the success of gastric bypass in class II and III obese patients. Background: The increasing number of obese children and adults in the United States poses an extensive social problem in the era of managed care. Notwithstanding the stigmatization associated with obesity, the considerable health implications along with the financial burden it imposes create a formidable adversary. Surgical procedures have proved to be superior to conservative and pharmacotherapeutic interventions in the morbidly obese. Despite the overall success …
