Kin Care And Perceptions Of Equity Among Ugandan Youth, Laurel George, Jini Roby

FHSS Mentored Research Conference

Children receiving kin care in Sub-Saharan Africa are at risk for differential treatment, especially where household resources are scarce. Using Pearson χ2 and multinomial logistic regression, we investigated whether such disparity exists within households receiving agency oversight and services designed to protect such children and preserve family households. We use existing data from face-to-face interviews with Ugandan youth age 8 to 18 (N = 518) and their caregivers to examine whether differences exist in child-perceived equity of food distribution and work requirements by type of family relatedness to caregiver. Income, but not relatedness, was negatively associated with food inequity, but …

The Relationship Of Physical Activity, Eating Behaviors, And Hunger Control To Weight Loss And Quality Of Life In Gastric Banding Patients, Nancy Baugh

Theses and Dissertations

Gastric banding as a weight loss surgery has increased in popularity in the United States since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2001. Successful weight loss after weight loss surgery is most frequently defined as greater than 50 percent of excess weight loss (EWL). Systematic reviews show that the band is widely effective in achieving successful weight loss in most patients, however individual studies show more inconsistent outcomes. Although previous research supports gastric bypass surgery as having a positive effect on quality of life after gastric bypass, there is very little data to support this relationship in …

Cloning And Expression Of Methionine Aminopeptidase-1 From Trypanosoma Cruzi, Joshua A. Lara^, Miguel Vasquez, Rosa A. Maldonado*

COURI Symposium Abstracts, Spring 2011

Trypanosoma cruzi affects millions of people worldwide. This unicellular eukaryotic organism is the causative agent of Chagas’ disease. This blood-borne pathogen is transmitted to humans by the hemophagous triatomine or kissing bug. The high toxicity of existing treatments and the lack of vaccines clearly demonstrate the demand for new drugs to treat this parasitosis. We propose to target T. cruzi Methionine Aminopeptidase (TcMetAP1). This enzyme catalyzes the removal of the N-terminal amino acid residues from peptides and proteins. Recent studies have shown promising results of MetAP1 inhibitors against malaria. We, therefore, hypothesize that specific inhibitors of the parasitic MetAP1 will …

Field Cancerization Of Oral Cavity: A Case Report And Its Clinical Implications, Raghavandra Kini, Vathsala Naik, Smit Singla

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

En 1953, Slaughter et coll. ont proposé le concept de champ de cancérisation en étudiant la présence, à l’échelle histologique, de cellules anormales entourant le carcinome épidermoïde. Il a été observé que tout l’épithélium au-delà des frontières de la tumeur présentait des changements histologiques, en plus d’une zone indépendante libre de malignité. En conclusion, l’épithélium subit un changement, peut être en raison de l’exposition à des substances cancérigènes et devient donc plus propice au développement de plusieurs foyers de transformation maligne. Ces observations aident à expliquer la haute incidence de écidive, malgré l’excision tumorale associée ou non à d’autres thérapies. …

Experimental Quantification Of Nutrient Bioextracti On Potential Of Oysters In Estuarine Waters Of New Hampshire, Raymond E. Grizzle, Krystin M. Ward

PREP Reports & Publications

This project was a short-term field experiment conducted in summer 2010 and designed to provide preliminary data on the bioextraction (removal) of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) for two different size classes (both <76mm shell height) of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) at six sites in the Great Bay estuarine system in New Hampshire. Sites were chosen to represent a range of ambient nutrient concentrations, water flow conditions, and location within the estuary. Two of the sites were at oyster aquaculture farms: Granite State Shellfish at the mouth of the Oyster River, and Little Bay Oyster Company near Fox Point in Little Bay. At each site, …

An Observation Of Immunological Effect, A Diet Enhanced With Spirulina And Treatment With Fractalkine In Models Of Parkinson's Disease, Mibel M. Pabón

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In my dissertation research we used use human wild type α-synuclein gene expression using an adeno-associated viral vector (AAV9) that induced a slowly progressive loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the Substantia nigra (SN) as one of our animal model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is our hypothesis that neuroinflammation predisposes the brain to susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases. Thus we examined the progression of a PD lesion and examined the manipulations of the immune system to understand further the inflammatory role when we administered exogenous soluble fractalkine.

The specific etiology of neurodegeneration in PD is unknown, but the inflammatory mechanisms …
