Neurodevelopmental Outcome & Mr Spectroscopy Of Therapeutic Hypothermia After Pediatric Drowning, Sharon Mieras Perugini

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Despite advances in medical treatment and technology, outcome following pediatric drowning can vary widely from mild to severe impairments and death. Prognosis is often difficult to predict given a number of contributing factors. As such, this study examined the relationship between clinical indicators including submersion duration, initial GCS and PRISM scores, and waking time with outcome as well as metabolite ratios based on magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Research stemming from the area of cardiac arrest as well as anecdotal case study reports of cold water drownings suggests that lowering the body temperature may be helpful and protective. As such, the use …

Reply To Comments On "The Devaluation Of Life", W. Kip Viscusi

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The historical context of benefit–cost analysis provides a useful starting point for understanding why I advocate the policy application of the VSL measure despite the controversy surrounding these figures. Both Carruthers and Fourcade discuss the historical development of benefit–cost analysis, which was introduced as a policy evaluation tool within the context of public works projects. The Army Corps of Engineers and the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation have long assessed the economic benefits and costs of dams and related water resource projects and have used these estimates to justify the efforts, which are required by legislation to …

Low-Dose Arsenic Compromises The Immune Response To Influenza A Infection In Vivo, Courtney D. Kozul, Kenneth H. Ely, Richard I. Enelow, Joshua W. Hamilton

Dartmouth Scholarship

Background:

Arsenic exposure is a significant worldwide environmental health concern. We recently reported that 5-week exposure to environmentally relevant levels (10 and 100 ppb) of As in drinking water significantly altered components of the innate immune response in mouse lung, which we hypothesize is an important contributor to the increased risk of lung disease in exposed human populations.

Objectives:

We investigated the effects of As exposure on respiratory influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, a common and potentially fatal disease.

Methods:

In this study, we exposed C57BL/6J mice to 100 ppb As in drinking water for 5 weeks, followed by intranasal …

Consequences Of Customer Powerlessness: Secondary Control, Matthew Bunker, A. Dwayne Ball

Department of Marketing: Faculty Publications

This research investigated the consequences of powerlessness when consumers experience service failure with a company that has high-exit barriers. The specific consequences investigated were three types of secondary control, which are grudge-holding, avoidance (predictive avoidance), and retaliation desire. These secondary control coping strategies highlight consumers’ ability to control their personal behaviors and thoughts, even when they cannot completely control the outcomes of a situation. A qualitative study, followed by a scenario-based survey and structural equation model, suggest that the primary direct consequences of powerlessness in commercial relationships are grudge-holding and predictive avoidance, and that both predictive avoidance and a desire …

A Method To Quantify And Compare Clinicians' Assessments Of Patient Understanding During Counseling Of Standardized Patients, Michael Farrell, Pramita Kuruvilla, Kerry L. Eskra, Stephanie Christopher, Rebecca S. Brienza

College of Professional Studies Faculty Research and Publications

Objective

To introduce a method for quantifying clinicians’ use of assessment of understanding (AU) questions, and to examine medicine residents’ AU usage during counseling of standardized patients about prostate or breast cancer screening.

Methods

Explicit-criteria abstraction was done on 86 transcripts, using a data dictionary for 4 AU types. We also developed a procedure for estimating the “load” of informational content for which the clinician has not yet assessed understanding.

Results

Duplicate abstraction revealed reliability κ = 0.96. Definite criteria for at least one AU were found in 68/86 transcripts (79%). Of these, 2 transcripts contained a request for a …

Food Stamp Participation Among Adult-Only Households, David C. Ribar, Marilyn J. Edelhoch, Qiduan Liu

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

Several recent changes in the Food Stamp Program have been directed toward households without children. Some, including new work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs), were intended to promote self-sufficiency, while others, including easier application and recertification procedures, were intended to increase participation among underserved groups, such as the disabled and the elderly. Despite their relevance to policymakers, adult-only households have been examined by only a few studies. We use administrative records from South Carolina and event-history methods to investigate how spells of food stamp participation for adult-only households vary with ABAWD provisions, recertification intervals, economic conditions and other …

Multicenter Randomized Phase Ii Study Of Weekly Or Twice-Weekly Bortezomib Plus Rituximab In Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory Follicular Or Marginal-Zone B-Cell Lymphoma, Sven De Vos, André Goy, Shaker R. Dakhil, Mansoor Saleh, Peter Mclaughlin, Robert Belt, Christopher R. Flowers, Mark Knapp, Lowell Hart, Dipti Patel-Donnelly

Haematology and Oncology, East Africa

Purpose: To determine overall response rate (ORR), time to progression (TTP), and duration of response (DOR) with twice-weekly/weekly bortezomib plus rituximab, and evaluate safety/tolerability, in patients with relapsed or refractory CD20+ follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal-zone lymphoma.

Patients and Methods: Patients were randomly assigned (minimization method) to bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 twice weekly (days 1, 4, 8, and 11; 21-day cycle, five cycles; arm A) or bortezomib 1.6 mg/m2 weekly (days 1, 8, 15, and 22; 35-day cycle, three cycles; arm B) plus rituximab 375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks (both arms). Response/progression was determined by International Workshop Response Criteria using …

Narrow Your Focus: A Strategy For Revitalization Of A Small To Medium Size Plateaued Or Declining Traditional Church, Johnny Lamar Kendrick

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This thesis attempts to identify reproducible principles for the revitalization of small to medium sized plateaued or declining traditional churches. These principles were identified by the author in his experience serving as the pastor of three small to medium sized plateaued traditional churches. The principles involve the importance of preparation for Sunday morning worship and Sunday school, the importance of developing leadership, the importance of evaluating and implementing successful ministries, and the importance of indentifying with the community. The principles were studied and validated in the author's interaction with two churches during a year of research in which he consulted …

Changing The Course Of Children's Health: Michigan Alliance For The National Children's Study, Julie O'Connor

New Science

As a nation, we have made great advances in improving the health and development of children over the past century. However, high rates of asthma, developmental disorders, obesity, preventable injuries and a host of other problems are still a challenge for our society. While studies in recent years have offered important insights into these conditions, most have been too small or too specific to analyze the wide range of environmental factors and relationships that may impact diseases and conditions afflicting today’s child. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is leading the most ambitious nationwide children’s health research project in history …

Protecting The Mature Mind, Julie O'Connor

New Science

One of the major unsolved mysteries of aging two hormones thought to influence the brain’s MRI scanner reveal that older participants had is why some people age gracefully with little to no memory or cognitive dysfunction, while others are afflicted with debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. An adult brain contains about 100 billion nerve cells – neurons - that branch out and connect to more than 100 trillion points. Signals traveling through the neurons form the basis of thoughts, feelings and memories. It is these cells that are destroyed by Alzheimer’s disease, leading to tissue …
