Biophysical Techniques Of Transcutaneous Drug Sampling And Drug Delivery, Srinivasa Murthy Sammeta

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Monitoring the time course of drug in the skin is critical for determining the frequency and dose of drug administration from safety and efficacy perspectives. Intermittent blood sampling is used as a surrogate for approximating concentration of drugs in the tissues, which leads to blood loss and discomfort to patients. A novel noninvasive technique called “Electroporation and transcutaneous sampling” (ETS) was developed for estimating the drug concentration in the skin extracellular fluid. The application of ETS technique in studying dermatokinetics of cephalexin, ciprofloxacin, and 8-methoxypsoralen was investigated. The results demonstrated the ability of ETS technique in dermatokinetic studies of drugs …

Protecting The Magazine Brand: Brand Manuals, Their Uses And Implementation, Callie Jean Blackwell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis discusses the need for a brand manual for a magazine after the creation of a first issue. A brand manual ensures each subsequent issue of the magazine has consistent design from issue to issue as well as keeps the tenets of the overall magazine brand intact. This thesis was project based and conclusions were met by means of a literature review of branding, interviews and experiential research. The foundational similarities between brands and magazines through the lens of magazine design was discussed and found to be one in the same: magazines are brands. Brands are only as good …

The Endangered Species Act V. The United States Department Of Justice: How The Department Of Justice Derailed Criminal Prosecutions Under The Endangered Species Act, Ed Newcomer, Marie Palladini, Leah Jones

Animal Law Review

Historically, in prosecutions under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), to prove the element “knowingly” the government only had to prove that a defendant intentionally killed an animal that turned out to be endangered or threatened, not that the defendant knew the identity of the species or the endangered or threatened status of the animal when it was killed. Jury instructions to this effect were repeatedly upheld. Then, in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court for McKittrick v. U.S., the federal government, unprompted, unnecessarily, and without explanation, said that it would not use this jury instruction in the future …

Animal Violence Court: A Therapeutic Jurisprudence-Based Problem-Solving Court For The Adjudication Of Animal Cruelty Cases Involving Juvenile Offenders And Animal Hoarders, Debra L. Muller-Harris

Animal Law Review

Cases involving cruelty to animals are currently handled by the traditional criminal courts. These courts, however, are not effective at punishing animal abusers or protecting animal victims. Although all states have laws criminalizing various forms of animal cruelty, the reality is that most cruelty cases are not prosecuted; even when cruelty cases are successfully prosecuted, punishments are weak. This Comment proposes the creation of an Animal Violence Court, using juvenile animal abusers and adult hoarders as ideal candidates for a pilot animal cruelty justice system. The Animal Violence Court will provide for the ongoing safety and care of animal victims, …

Welfare Improvements For Organic Animals: Closing Loopholes In The Regulation Of Organic Animal Husbandry, Aurora Paulsen

Animal Law Review

For many consumers, farm animal welfare matters. To ensure the well-being of farm animals, consumers often pay premium prices for animal products with humane labels. Because “organic” is an example of a label presumed to convey information about animal husbandry practices, animal products with this label may offer an alternative to products from animals that were raised “conventionally” on large, industrialized farms with minimal welfare protections. The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and enacting regulations require that organic animals be able to engage in natural behaviors. However, many of the requirements are general and thus result in significant variations …

The Statutory Pet Trust: Recommendations For A New Uniform Law Based On The Past Twenty-One Years, Shidon Aflatooni

Animal Law Review

Nearly three-fourths of American households include pets. Often, these pets are considered to be members of the family and are cared for as such. When a pet owner dies, however, questions often arise as to who will be responsible for continuing to care for the animals. Previously, probate and trust laws did not allow pet owners to provide for the care of their pets after death. In 1990, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) enacted the first pet trust statute in the Uniform Probate Code. Since then, the NCCUSL passed the Uniform Trust Code, which included …

Employment, Sexual Orientation And Religious Beliefs: Do Religious Educational Institutions Have A Protected Right To Discriminate In The Selection And Discharge Of Employees?, Ralph D. Mawdsley

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

The life blood of religious educational institutions is their doctrinal statements and codes of conduct that set standards for employee and student life. The purpose of this paper is to examine the freedom of religious educational institutions to make employment decisions related to three homosexuality related areas: sexual orientation, same-sex sexual activity outside marriage, and same-sex marriage. At the core of the discussion is the basic question whether religious educational institutions have a protected right to enforce doctrinal statements or codes of conduct addressing one or more of these areas.

This paper will examine legal issues related to the ability …

Anxiety And Visual Discriminations In Undergraduates, Katherine Bowers

The Journal of Undergraduate Research

Mathematics tests were used to create anxiety in undergraduates. Heart rates were recorded as a measure of anxiety. Following each mathematics test, participants completed a different visual discrimination tasks, Stroop Colored Word Tests, Where’s Waldo Puzzles, and IQ Matching Tests. Reaction times and accuracy were measured for each task. The hypothesis was that those with more difficult mathematics tests would have longer reaction times and be less accurate. The results of the study suggest that mathematics anxiety did not have a significant effect on reaction times for any task, and was only significant for the accuracy of the IQ matching …

“Born Again Hard”: Sexualized Violence In The Creation Of American Warriors, Katherine Highfill

The Journal of Undergraduate Research

Cultures are built upon myths that reinforce and glorify the way citizens wish to view themselves as part of a larger, stronger whole. These myths are central to the strength of a culture due to the shared sense of greatness, responsibility, and cohesion mutual belief instills. Globally, examples of cultural myth include French elegance, Arabic divine religious sanction, and British diplomatic proficiency. Specifically American mythology includes the pioneer mentality, equality for all citizens, and global caretaker. These myths, as with those of other countries, were born of historic actuality or ideology. The basis for each of these American myths, however, …

Superior Patency Of Upper Arm Arteriovenous Fistulae In High Risk Patients, Larissa Catherine Chiulli

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Background: Despite an increased propensity to primary failure in forearm arteriovenous fistulae compared to upper arm fistulae, forearm fistulae remain the preferred primary access type for chronic hemodialysis patients. In a high risk patient population with multiple medical comorbidities associated with requirement for intravenous access we compared the rates of access failure in forearm and upper arm fistulae. Materials and Methods: The records of all patients having primary native arteriovenous fistulae placed between 2004 and 2009 at the VA Connecticut Healthcare system were reviewed (n=118). Primary and secondary patency of upper arm and forearm fistulae were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival …

Neuroresponse To Social Exclusion By A Childhood Friend: An Erp Study, Jessica Crawford

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

We examined the role of friendship on the neural correlates of social exclusion in middle childhood with event-related potentials (ERPs) during a computer-simulated ball toss game, Cyberball. Experiencing fair play initially, children were then left out of the ball toss during an exclusion period. Forty children (ages 8-14) who played with a best friend and an unfamiliar peer were compared to forty-eight children (ages 8-14) who played with two unfamiliar peers. A slow wave (484-900ms post-stimulus) for both groups was evident in each of the conditions (favor, "not my turn," and rejection). Consistent with our previous middle childhood work, we …

Intracranial Drug Delivery Of Sirna Nanoparticles To Tumor Cells, Chikezie Eseonu

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive malignant tumor, continues to be amongst the most fatal disorders in medicine despite many therapeutic techniques and drug discoveries. Malignant brain tumor cells' ability to invade surrounding brain parenchyma is the main reason for treatment failure and recurrence. Traditional chemotherapy methods have found difficulty accessing the brain due to the blood-brain barrier, while irradiation techniques cause damaging effects on normal regions of the brain. New forms of gene therapy have been found to eliminate tumor cells, while sparing healthy brain tissue; however, with no efficient delivery mechanism gene therapy has been unable to access a large …

Trpa1 In Airway Inflammation, Maxwell Dominic Elia

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Asthma results from exposure to allergens and other airway irritants. While clinical treatment of the disease has recently expanded beyond simply β-agonists and inhaled steroids, recent strategies seeking to modulate the immune mechanisms of the disease have offered incomplete control of the disease. This study demonstrates a mechanistically novel component in the development of asthmatic inflammation mediated by sensory neurons within the lung parenchyma. Sensory neurons are rich in the transient receptor potential channel A1 (TRPA1), an ion channel activated by strong triggers of asthma, including cigarette smoke, chlorine, and hypochlorite. This project examines the role of TRPA1 in the …

Stat3 Is Important For The Emergence Of Human B Cells Predicted To Proliferate After Infection With Epstein-Barr Virus, Amanda Victoria Zeta De La Paz

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

STAT3 is important for the emergence of human B Cells predicted to proliferate after infection with Epstein-Barr Virus

Amanda Z. de la Paz and Sumita Bhaduri-McIntosh. Section of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Yale University, School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.

Many unanswered questions surround the early changes in B cells that lead to establishment of latency and immortalization following Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Data from the Bhaduri-McIntosh lab revealed that EBV differentially infects B cells into distinct sub-populations, only one of which, those marked CD23hi CD58+ IL6-, can be predicted to proliferate as early as 3 days after exposure …

Determining The Fate Of Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells In Tissue Engineered Vascular Grafts Using Mri, Jamie Keiko Nicole Harrington

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The most widely used method of creating tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) for in vivo implantation consists of seeding autologous bone marrow cells (BMCs) onto biodegradable scaffolds. In this model of TEVG development it has traditionally been thought that stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) within the seeded bone marrow population gave rise to the cells of the neovessel. Recent work in our lab indicates that the seeded BMCs are not incorporated into the neovessel and are actually rapidly lost from the implanted scaffold. Here we show the feasibility of noninvasively monitoring this process by tracking ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron …

Role Of The Innate Immune Response In Tissue Engineered Vascular Graft Stenosis, Dane Mejias

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Tissue Engineered Vascular Grafts (TEVGs) hold great promise in advancing the field of pediatric cardiac surgery and other applications in which a vascular conduit is required. The first human clinical trial of these grafts indicated that stenosis was the primary mode of graft failure. Here, we investigate the role of the immune response in stenosis through a CB17 murine inferior vena cava interposition model. We demonstrate that this mouse model undergoes a dramatic stenotic response, and that this is nearly completely abolished in a SCID/bg immunodeficient variant (average luminal diameter (LD) WT: 0.071+/-0.035mm, SCID/bg: 0.804+/-0.039mm; P<0.001). SCID-only mice, which lack T- cells and B-cells, undergo stenosis with luminal diameters approaching those of wild type mice. The bg mutation is characterized by defects in natural killer (NK) cell and platelet dysfunction, and treatment of wild-type mice with either anti-platelet therapy (aspirin/clopidogrel) or an anti- natural killer cell antibody (NK 1.1) results in patency that is half of that achieved in the SCID/bg mouse (WT: 0.071+/-0.035mm, SCID/bg: 0.804+/-0.039mm, SCID: 0.137+/-0.032mm, Asp/Pla: 0.452+/-0.130mm, NKab: 0.356+/-0.151mm; P<0.001). We additionally show that SCID/bg mice show a blunted immune response to scaffold implantation, wheras wild-type mice show a dramatic initial burst of activity as demonstrated by macrophage number, mRNA, and cytokine levels. Implicating the initial innate immune response to the scaffold as a critical contributing factor in graft stenosis may provide a strategy for prognosis and therapy of future TEVGs.
