Firesetting In Children, Donna V. Mehregany, Md Dec 2011

Firesetting In Children, Donna V. Mehregany, Md

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

This article reviews the literature regarding the history, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of firesetting. A critique of the literature reveals the need to generate a clearer definition of firesetting as well as more stringent criteria for diagnosing firesetting. The standard treatments for firesetting are reviewed. Linkage of childhood firesetting to future adolescent and adult crimes is also examined. Finally, avenues for future research are discussed.

Inactivity, Inflammation, And Insulin Resistance In Type 2 Diabetes And The Metabolic Syndrome, Ashley E. Moncrieft Dec 2011

Inactivity, Inflammation, And Insulin Resistance In Type 2 Diabetes And The Metabolic Syndrome, Ashley E. Moncrieft

Open Access Theses

Both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the the metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inflammation and insulin resistance have each been associated with the development of MetS and the onset of T2D as well as the risk of CVD. Inflammation and insulin resistance are therefore suitable targets for public health initiatives and interventions in persons at risk for or living with CVD. Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for CVD as well as MetS and T2D. Conversely, increased physical activity is associated with improved health outcomes for individuals with a high …


Examining The Efficacy Of Hiv Risk-Reduction Counseling On The Sexual Risk Behaviors Of A National Sample Of Drug Abuse Treatment Clients: Analysis Of Subgroups, Lauren K. Gooden Dec 2011

Examining The Efficacy Of Hiv Risk-Reduction Counseling On The Sexual Risk Behaviors Of A National Sample Of Drug Abuse Treatment Clients: Analysis Of Subgroups, Lauren K. Gooden

Open Access Dissertations

This dissertation sought to evaluate the efficacy of brief, HIV risk-reduction counseling (versus information only) among subgroups of substance abuse treatment clients by conducting a series of post-hoc analyses of data that were collected from the CTN 0032 trial. It was hypothesized that HIV risk-reduction counseling would be associated with decreased sexual risk behaviors in several subgroups as determined by baseline characteristics. Findings of this dissertation suggest that brief, HIV risk-reduction counseling delivered in conjunction with rapid HIV testing is not efficacious in reducing number of risky sex acts among subgroups of substance abuse treatment clients. Findings suggest that brief, …

A High-Eccentricity Component In The Double-Planet System Around Hd 163607 And A Planet Around Hd 164509*, Matthew J. Giguere, Debra A. Fischer, Andrew W. Howard, John A. Johnson, Gregory W. Henry, Jason T. Wright, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Fengji Hou, Julien Spronck

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

We report the detection of three new exoplanets from Keck Observatory. HD 163607 is a metal-rich G5IV star with two planets. The inner planet has an observed orbital period of 75.29 ± 0.02 days, a semi-amplitude of 51.1 ± 1.4 m s−1, an eccentricity of 0.73 ± 0.02, and a derived minimum mass of MPsin i = 0.77 ± 0.02 MJup. This is the largest eccentricity of any known planet in a multi-planet system. The argument of periastron passage is 78.7 ± 2fdg0; consequently, the planet's closest approach to its parent star is very near the line of sight, leading …

Telling It Like It Is: A Proposal To Improve Transparency In Biomedical Research, John Hadley Dec 2011

Telling It Like It Is: A Proposal To Improve Transparency In Biomedical Research, John Hadley

Between the Species

Recent proposals to improve public communication about animal-based biomedical research have been narrowly focused on reforming biomedical journal submission guidelines. My suggestion for communication reform is broader in scope reaching beyond the research community to healthcare communicators and ultimately the general public. The suggestion is for researchers to provide journalists and public relations practitioners with concise summaries of their ‘animal use data’. Animal use data is collected by researchers and intended for the public record but is rarely, if ever, given significant media exposure. By providing healthcare communicators with specific details about their animal use, researchers can play a role …

Egypt And Mormonism: Oriental Traits Of The Latter-Day Saints, Alexander Fronk Dec 2011

Egypt And Mormonism: Oriental Traits Of The Latter-Day Saints, Alexander Fronk

Arrington Student Writing Award Winners

In his lecture, Dr. Francaviglia presents a fascinating framework in which to understand American history and culture, as well as Mormons specifically. Orientalism was defined for the lecture as the assimilation or imitation of that which is oriental in religious or philosophical thought, or in art. Through various mediums, including architectural examples, quotes from Mormons and their detractors, and travel literature, Dr. Francaviglia demonstrates that not only Mormons were compared to Oriental peoples and assigned Oriental traits, but they also actively attributed such traits to themselves; they assumed an Oriental identity. By understanding how Mormons were Orientalized by others and …


Introducing Integrative Medicine At The Bedside To Patients With Post-Traumatic Headache Pain, Melissa E. Allard Dec 2011

Introducing Integrative Medicine At The Bedside To Patients With Post-Traumatic Headache Pain, Melissa E. Allard

Theses and Graduate Projects

The use of integrative medicine is growing, and the nursing profession has a responsibility to meet the changing needs of patients. This paper describes a model of nursing for delivering integrative medicine practices at the bedside to persons suffering with post-traumatic headache pain related to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is grounded in Katherine Kolcaba's Comfort Theory. A patient is best served when the holistic principles of integrative medicine are facilitated by a nurse who is centered and able to introduce these modalities with positive intention. The goal of the practice model is to provide the foundation for nursing to …


Advancing A Culture Of Safety Through The Creation Of A Unit-Based Safety Team, Lynda K. Carr Dec 2011

Advancing A Culture Of Safety Through The Creation Of A Unit-Based Safety Team, Lynda K. Carr

Theses and Graduate Projects

Hospitals are challenged to create a strong culture of safety within their organization to eliminate harm to patients. This paper describes a project to advance a culture of safety on a cardiovascular acute care unit at an urban hospital through the creation of a unit-based safety team. Based on the premise that patient safety is a local phenomenon, the rationale for the project is to aim interventions at the unit level where they will have the greatest impact. Four key steps in creating an effective unit-based safety team are highlighted: team member selection, team development, enacting interventions, and evaluating interventions …
