Epidemiology And Innate Immune Monocyte Function Of Staphylococcus Aureus Carriers And Non-Carriers In A Medical School Community: A Pilot Study, Catherine Molina Dailey

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine host risk factors and measure innate immune function in order to assess their potential associations with carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Nearly a third of individuals worldwide are carriers of S. aureus. These bacteria usually exist as harmless commensal organisms of the skin or mucosa, most frequently in the anterior nares. Some people are persistently colonized with S. aureus while other people are intermittently or never colonized. If S. aureus gains access to underlying tissues or to the bloodstream, it can cause serious life-threatening infections, and colonization with S. aureus …

Investigación Y Conservación De La Biodiversidad En Perú: Importancia Del Uso De Técnicas Modernas Y Procesos Administrativos Eficientes, Rudolf Von May, Alessandro Catenazzi, Ariadne Angulo, Pablo J. Venegas, César Aguilar

Publications

This commentary focuses on the importance that DNA sequence analysis has in biodiversity studies and the need for improving administrative procedures regarding biodiversity research in Peru. Given the rapid loss of biodiversity and natural resources in many areas of Peru, research aimed at identifying, characterizing, and describing biodiversity is a priority for developing appropriate conservation and mitigation strategies. For current and future research on Peruvian biodiversity and conservation, we emphasize the importance of using an integrative taxonomy approach, including the study of evolutionary processes associated with areas of high biodiversity and endemism. Additionally, it is essential that governmental institutions responsible …

Genetic Analysis Of Relative Water Content (Rwc) In Two Recombinant Inbred Line Populations Of Soybean [Glycine Max (L.) Merr.], Salvador Virginia, Megan Pagan, Melissa Cooper, Stella K. Kantartzi, David A. Lightfoot, Khalid Meksem, My Abdelmajid Kassem

Articles

Drought affects soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and other crops productivity in the US and other parts of the world. Relative water content (RWC) is an important indicator for plant water deficit tolerance (WDT). The objective of this study is to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for RWC and several other leaf traits such as leaf dry weight (LDW), leaf fresh weight (LFW), and leaf turgid weight (LTW) in two soybean recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations, one derived from a cross of ‘Essex’ and ‘Forrest’ (ExF, n=94) and the other is derived from a cross of ‘PI 438489B’ and …

Sequencing Of The Rbcl Marker Reveals The Nonnative Red Alga Grateloupia Taiwanensis (Halymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) In Alabama, Michael S. Depriest, Juan M. López-Bautista

Gulf of Mexico Science

Mobile Bay, AL has been the site for the introduction of several terrestrial and freshwater invasive species, including red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) and spike-topped apple snails (Pomacea bridgesii). The Gulf of Mexico has also been invaded by several marine animal species, such as zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha). To date, no invasive marine macroalga has been reported in the Mobile Bay area. However, recent collections of an unusual species of Grateloupia (Halymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) in Alabama indicate that an introduction has been made. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis of the large subunit of …

A Multi-Year Survey Of Meiofaunal Abundance From The Northern Gulf Of Mexico Continental Shelf And Slope, Stephen C. Landers, Frank A. Romano Iii, Paul M. Stewart, Steve Ramroop

Gulf of Mexico Science

This 3-yr (2007–09) survey documented meiofauna abundance across the northern Gulf of Mexico on the continental shelf and slope from south Texas to south Florida. Sediment samples were collected from depths ranging from 29 to 509 m (average = 132 m) on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ship Gordon Gunter during the annual fall small pelagics fish-sampling cruise. A total of 259 sediment samples from 99 Shipek^® grabs were analyzed. Meiofauna were isolated from the sediment by sieving (63-μm sieve) and concentrating the organisms via Ludox^® centrifugation. Each year the two dominant animal groups were nematodes and …

Establishment Of The Invasive Island Apple Snail Pomacea Insularum (Gastropoda: Ampullaridae) And Eradication Efforts In Mobile, Alabama, Usa, Charles W. Martin, Keith M. Bahya, John F. Valentine

Gulf of Mexico Science

Species invasions are thought to be among the most detrimental of all anthropogenic disturbances. Invasive consumers severely impact native ecosystems through the consumption of and competition with native species. Worldwide, snails of the Family Ampullaridae have successfully colonized a wide range of habitats outside their native range. This is of great ecological concern because once established, these snails frequently exhibit rampant herbivory in the recipient ecosystem. Here, we chronicle the recent invasion of island apple snails (Pomacea insularum; d’Orbigny 1837) in a tributary of the Mobile–Tensaw Delta, Alabama, in order to establish a baseline against which future assessments …

Wolf Habitat Selection At The Territory Level : Seasonal And Interannual Variation And Influence On Reproductive Success, Alessia Uboni

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports - Open

Habitat selection has been one of the main research topics in ecology for decades. Nevertheless, many aspects of habitat selection still need to be explored. In particular, previous studies have overlooked the importance of temporal variation in habitat selection and the value of including data on reproductive success in order to describe the best quality habitat for a species. We used data collected from radiocollared wolves in Yellowstone National Park (USA), between 1996 and 2008, to describe wolf habitat selection. In particular, we aimed to identify i) seasonal differences in wolf habitat selection, ii) factors influencing interannual variation in habitat …

Management Impacts On Carex Assiniboinensis And Cardamine Concatenata On The Ottawa National Forest, Margaret Fox

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports - Open

Monitoring of herbaceous plants on the Ottawa National Forest (ONF) is used to understand the impact of forest management on understory composition and site conditions. In their planning, national forests are required to take into account management impacts on diversity and ecosystem health. The effect of management on understory species is dependent on various factors, including the intensity of disturbance and the biology of the plant. In the first study in this report, a population of Carex assiniboinensis, a Michigan state threatened species, was monitored for seven seasons including before logging commenced, in order to determine the sedge’s response …

Treatment Of Osteoporosis In A Mouse Model Of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Using Black Bear Parathyroid Hormone, Sarah K. Gray

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports - Open

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive disease affecting skeletal and cardiac muscle, as well as bone. Long term disuse and glucocorticoid treatments cause progressive osteoporosis in DMD patients, leading to an increase in fracture incidence. Treatments for osteoporosis in these patients have not been widely explored. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), an anabolic treatment for post-menopausal osteoporosis, could benefit DMD patients by improving skeletal properties and reducing fracture risk. Other PTH analogues are not currently FDA approved to treat osteoporosis, but may have improved osteogenic effects compared to the human analogue. Black bear PTH is especially promising as an osteoporosis treatment …
