Population Structuring And Transmission Dynamics Of A Laboratory Colony Of Gromphadorholaelaps Schaeferi: A Symbiotic Mite Of The Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Gromphadorhina Portentosa, D. J. Richardson

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Gromphadorholaelaps schaeferi is a symbiotic mite associated with the Madagascar hissing cockroach Gromphdorhina portentosa. The population structuring of G. schaeferi is described based on examination of 19,421 mites collected from 1,915 individuals of G. portentosa taken from a large laboratory colony. The mites exhibited an overall prevalence of 50.7% and mean intensity (+SE) of 20.0 (+0.6) with an infestation intensity range of 1-116, and relative abundance (+SE) of 10.1 (+0.4). Both prevalence and mean intensity of infestation exhibited a dramatic increase with increasing cockroach size/age. By the time cockroaches reach 40 mm the prevalence is nearly 100%. Mean intensity increases …

Morphology Of Rathke's Glands In The Snapping Turtle, Chelydra Serpentina, With Comments On The Presence Of Multilaminar Lamellar Bodies In Turtles, S. E. Trauth

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

I examined the histology and ultrastructure of Rathke’s glands in hatchling, juvenile, and adult snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina). This species possesses four pairs of Rathke’s glands (i.e., one axillary and three inframarginals) that are embedded beneath marginal bones and are named primarily according to the anatomical location of their orifices. These integumentary glands are similar anatomically and ultrastructurally to one another. Each gland is comprised of a single, highly vascularized, secretory lobule, which is surrounded by a thick tunic of asymmetrically arranged, striated muscle. Two types of large secretory vacuoles characterize most of the holocrine cells produced by a relatively …

Discernment-Oriented Leadership In The Johannine Situation—Abiding In The Truth Versus Lesser Alternatives (Chapter In Rethinking The Ethics Of John: Implicit Ethics In The Johannine Writings), Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Leadership within the Johannine situation has been approached from various angles, ranging from structures of leadership, to the location of Johannine Christianity with relation to other groups, to the identity/nonidentity of Johannine leaders. Common to these and other inquiries regarding leadership within the Johannine situation, however, is a focus on the character and operation of leadership that is proposed, both of which relate centrally to abiding in the truth. Further, the call to abide in the truth pits this value over lesser alternatives in ways apparent over the longitudinal span of the Johannine situation. It comes to a head …

Necrotizing Fasciitis, Parin Tatsanavivat

Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine

Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon disease of soft tissue infection with mild clinical appearance. As a result of its rarity and minimal early symptomatology, late diagnosis is a common problem. This disease has high morbidity and mortality, moreover medical professions should keep in mind of necrotizing fasciitis when dealing with patients with soft tissue infection. Recently, many studies try to achieve early diagnosis with laboratory tests but the results can only support the clinical diagnosis and indicate the severity of the disease. In this article, we review the general knowledge of the disease, laboratory abnormalities as well as the latest …

Antimicrobial Sutures: Review And Update, Chatchai Mingmalairak

Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine

Surgical site infections (SSIs) occur when pathogenic organisms proliferate in surgical wounds, resulting in impediment of wound healing, separation of the wound edges (dehiscence), and increase in risk of abscesses in deeper wound tissues. Serious SSIs can progress from local to systemic infection, increase mortality risk, associate with longer length of stay in the hospital, cause a greater risk of readmission, and incur higher healthcare costs. Sutures can be a source of surgical wound contamination due to bacterial adherence and colonization. Sutures that were impregnated or coated with antibacterial agents have been developed in attempt to reduce bacterial adherence and …

Some Reflections On Method And Policy In The Crowded House Of European Patent Law And Their Implications For India, Justine Pila

National Law School of India Review

The patent regimes of several countries face an interplay of different obligations today which has made it difficult to discern the methodology adopted in answering questions of patentability. Consider India, where the regime witnesses the tussle between obligations under domestic legislation and Fundamental Rights, and those imposed by the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. Harmonization of these competing obligations raises important questions of an appropriate methodology, the absence of which would reduce the intricate complexities into an apparent jumble. In this article, the author takes up this issue in the European context, specifically positing her arguments …

In Search Of A Unique Identity: The L3c As A Socially Recognized Brand, Tanya M. Marcum, Eden S. Blair

Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law

The driving force for the decision to organize a new business venture as a limited liability company (“LLC”) is typically the desire to achieve favorable pass-through income tax treatment, while simultaneously enjoying the protection of limited liability for its owners. As noted by one court, “[t]he allure of the limited liability company is its unique ability to bring together in a single business organization the best features of all other business forms—properly structured, its owners obtain both a corporate-style liability shield and the pass-through tax benefits of a partnership.”

During the twenty-year period between 1977 and 1997, the legal and …

All Illnesses Are (Not) Created Equal: Reforming Federal Mental Health Insurance Law, Stacey A. Tovino

Faculty Articles

This article is the second, and most important, installment in a three-part series that presents a comprehensive challenge to lingering legal distinctions between physical and mental illness. The basic impetus for this historical, medical, and legal project is a belief that there exists no rational or consistent method of distinguishing physical and mental illness in the context of health insurance law. The first installment in this series narrowly inquired as to whether a particular set of disorders, the postpartum mood disorders, are or should be classified as physical or mental illnesses in a range of health law contexts. This second …
