Large-Scale Use Of Mosquito Larval Source Management For Malaria Control In Africa: A Cost Analysis, Eve Worrall, Ulrike Fillinger Nov 2011

Large-Scale Use Of Mosquito Larval Source Management For Malaria Control In Africa: A Cost Analysis, Eve Worrall, Ulrike Fillinger

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Background: At present, large-scale use of two malaria vector control methods, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) is being scaled up in Africa with substantial funding from donors. A third vector control method, larval source management (LSM), has been historically very successful and is today widely used for mosquito control globally, except in Africa. With increasing risk of insecticide resistance and a shift to more exophilic vectors, LSM is now under re-evaluation for use against afro-tropical vector species. Here the costs of this intervention were evaluated. Methods. The 'ingredients approach' was used to estimate the economic and …

Finite Element Analysis: Mathematical Theory And Applications, Naama T. L. Lewis Nov 2011

Finite Element Analysis: Mathematical Theory And Applications, Naama T. L. Lewis

Research Papers

This paper discusses the mathematical theory of finite elements. Using the concepts of inner product spaces, the mathematics of finite element analysis is explained in the context of function spaces. The finite elements as well as the finite element space will be rigorously defined. Furthermore, examples from research in the field of engineering will be explained and viewed through a mathematical lens. This research paper seeks to firmly bridge the applications with mathematical content for the research scientist who generally focuses on the applications. The paper will begin with a review of some basic building blocks for the finite element …

Using An Ethical Model To Manage Patient-Soldier Confidentiality When Medical Treatment For Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Is Refused, Janet C. Kelly Rgn, Rm, Ma, Llb (Hons), Pgche, Fhea Nov 2011

Using An Ethical Model To Manage Patient-Soldier Confidentiality When Medical Treatment For Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Is Refused, Janet C. Kelly Rgn, Rm, Ma, Llb (Hons), Pgche, Fhea

Journal of Health Ethics

This paper reviews the ethical tensions and the dual loyalty conflict between following military orders and professional codes of conduct. All competent patients have a right to refuse medical treatment. However, maintaining confidentiality is not an absolute right. In the military, a doctor may have a dual loyalty conflict between obeying military orders and following professional codes of practice. This can become exacerbated when a doctor in a military environment does not consider all the parties’ interests. This paper suggests that dual loyalty conflict in military healthcare practice in this environment is best managed via a discretionary ethic-role. This then …


Personhood And The Fetus: Settling The Dispute , Amanda Relph M.S. Nov 2011

Personhood And The Fetus: Settling The Dispute , Amanda Relph M.S.

Journal of Health Ethics

The concept of personhood and its relationship to health care has long been examined and debated. The working definition of personhood holds great power over many life-altering decisions, particularly in the realm of medical ethics. This article examines the very idea of personhood, current concept definitions and their impact on society, and poses an alternative view and definition for the concept. The final portion of the manuscript discusses potential areas of affect should the new definition be embraced. Information was gathered via historical research and literature review.


Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein Is Not Required For Normal Ductal Or Alveolar Development In The Post-Natal Mammary Gland, Kata Boras-Granic, Joshua Vanhouten, Minoti Hiremath, John Wysolmerski Nov 2011

Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein Is Not Required For Normal Ductal Or Alveolar Development In The Post-Natal Mammary Gland, Kata Boras-Granic, Joshua Vanhouten, Minoti Hiremath, John Wysolmerski

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

PTHrP is necessary for the formation of the embryonic mammary gland and, in its absence, the embryonic mammary bud fails to form the neonatal duct system. In addition, PTHrP is produced by the breast during lactation and contributes to the regulation of maternal calcium homeostasis during milk production. In this study, we examined the role of PTHrP during post-natal mammary development. Using a PTHrP-lacZ transgenic mouse, we surveyed the expression of PTHrP in the developing post-natal mouse mammary gland. We found that PTHrP expression is restricted to the basal cells of the gland during pubertal development and becomes expressed in …

Forest disturbances greatly alter the carbon cycle at various spatial and temporal scales. It is critical to understand disturbance regimes and their impacts to better quantify regional and global carbon dynamics. This review of the status and major challenges in representing the impacts of disturbances in modeling the carbon dynamics across North America revealed some major advances and challenges. First, significant advances have been made in representation, scaling, and characterization of disturbances that should be included in regional modeling efforts. Second, there is a need to develop effective and comprehensive process-based procedures and algorithms to quantify the immediate and long-term …

Feeding Habits Of The Egyptian Fruit Batrousettus Aegyptiacus On Cyprus Island: A Firstassessment, Maria Alessandra Del Vaglio, Haris Nicolau, Luciano Bosso Nov 2011

Feeding Habits Of The Egyptian Fruit Batrousettus Aegyptiacus On Cyprus Island: A Firstassessment, Maria Alessandra Del Vaglio, Haris Nicolau, Luciano Bosso

KIP Articles

Rousettus aegyptiacus is the only fruit bat occurring in Europe. A dramatic, poorly understood decline was recently reported for the important population occurring on the island of Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean). Assessing diet in this population is important to tailor appropriate conservation measures and help mitigate conflicts with farming. In this study, we present a first assessment of diet for the Cyprus population, mainly based on the occurrence of fruit remains in droppings. We analyzed 222 droppings (corresponding to 281 food items) collected at two cave roosts over three seasons. We identified 11 plant species from 8 families. Melia azedarach, Morus …

Computational Modeling And Simulation Study Of Dermal Wound Healing Proliferative Phase, Le Yang Nov 2011

Computational Modeling And Simulation Study Of Dermal Wound Healing Proliferative Phase, Le Yang

Theses and Dissertations

Dermal wound healing proliferative phase is a complicated physiological process in which many growth factors, cell types and matrix components participate. The process must be well coordinated to restore the structural and functional integrity of tissue injured. Many disorders interrupting healing process result in abnormal healing such as chronic wounds or excessive scarring. Mathematical modeling has been used to investigate many aspects of wound healing. Angiogenesis is pertinent for dermal wound healing since the cellular activities involved in tissue repair requires oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the wound site. By using a hybrid agent-based model, we investigated the …

Occupational Chemical Exposures And Psychiatric Disorders, Mark L. Dembert, M.D., M.P.H. Nov 2011

Occupational Chemical Exposures And Psychiatric Disorders, Mark L. Dembert, M.D., M.P.H.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Occupational exposure to metals, solvents, or pesticides can produce disorders of behavior, thought, or mood which can easily be misdiagnosed as 'Junctional." Accurate diagnosis obtained with a relevant clinical history, psychiatric interview, physical examination, and indicated laboratory tests will enable the delivery of necessary medical treatment and concurrently prevent repeat exposure to a hazardous work environment. Published references and organizational sources in occupational medicine and industrial hygiene can beutilized by psychiatrists for determination of the dijferential diagnosis and confirmation of an occupational exposure; in addition, these references can aid in assessing the need for an environmental health hazard survey at …


Subsequent Pregnancy In Women With A History Of Postpartum Psychosis, Richard G. Hersh, M.D. Nov 2011

Subsequent Pregnancy In Women With A History Of Postpartum Psychosis, Richard G. Hersh, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Postpartum psychosis stands out among the psychiatric syndromes associated with child birth, not able for the variability of its symptom profile and the potential severity of its course, if unrecognized. Significant questions regarding nosology, etiology, prevention and treatment remain only partially answered (1). While controversy surrounds many of the critical issues regarding postpartum psychosis, including its definition, current epidemiologic data indicates severe, frequently psychotic episodes occur following 1-2 per 1,000 of all births (2). As diagnosis and treatment of puerperal conditions have evolved, clinicians now are frequently involved in assisting women with a history of postpartum psychosis with decision making …


A Survey Of Selected Neurological Signs In Schizophrenia Research, Emanuel H. Rosen, M.D. Nov 2011

A Survey Of Selected Neurological Signs In Schizophrenia Research, Emanuel H. Rosen, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

This review covers three areas of schizophrenia research not usually addressed in residents' curricula: smooth pursuit eye movements and genetics, orienting responses, and tardive dyskinesia. The significance of these neurological signs is explored in terms of their clinical symptom associations and their heuristic value. Neuroanatomical aspects of these signs is noted to be speculatively consistent with hypofrontality and negative symptoms in schieophrenia. The author describes the nature of occulomotor abnormalities and discusses an applicable research study. He summarizes relevant areas of genetic research including linkage analysis and marker studies and explains some of the orienting response abnormalities in schizophrenia. He …
