Faculty and Staff Scholarship
HIV/AIDS and its treatment often alter body composition and result in poorer physical functioning. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a moderate-intensity exercise program on body composition and the hormones and cytokines associated with adverse health outcomes. HIV-infected males (N = 111) were randomized to an exercise group (EX) who completed 6 weeks of moderate-intensity exercise training, or to a nonintervention control group (CON). In pre- and postintervention, body composition was estimated via DXA, peak strength was assessed, and resting blood samples were obtained. There was a decrease in salivary cortisol at wake (P = …
The Characteristics Of Soft Tissue Following Root Coverage Procedures With Two Types Of Acellular Dermal Matrix Allografts, Ramzi Abou Arraj
The Characteristics Of Soft Tissue Following Root Coverage Procedures With Two Types Of Acellular Dermal Matrix Allografts, Ramzi Abou Arraj
All ETDs from UAB
Acellular dermal matrix allograft (ADMA) has emerged as a reliable substitute for autogenous soft tissue grafts in the treatment of gingival recessions and lack of keratinized gingiva (KG). ADMA has been hypothesized to create a zone of "immobile tissue" extending apical to the mucogingival junction (MGJ). This project aims to investigate the presence of this zone associated with the use of a coronally advanced flap in combination with either AlloDerm® (ADMA A) or Puros Dermis® (ADMA B) for root coverage procedures. Twenty patients, each presenting with one Miller Class I or II recession defect, were randomized to receive either ADMA …

Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination Of Difloxacin And Enrofloxacin In Urine Samples By Partial Least Squares Regression (Pls) And Direct Orthogonal Signal Correction-Partial Least Squares Regression (Disc-Ols) Methods, Kuldeep Kaur, Ashok Kumar Malik, Baldev Singh, M. Godarzi
The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Simultaneous determination of difloxacin and enrofloxacin using two chemometric methods, partial least squares regression (PLS) and direct orthogonal signal correction-partial least squares regression (DOSC-PLS) is described in this paper. The simultaneous determination of these drugs is difficult due to spectral interferences. The calibration graphs were linear in the range of 1-10 μg mL-1 and 1-9 μg mL-1 with detection limits of 0.52 and 0.15 μg mL-1 for difloxacin and enrofloxacin, respectively. The experimental calibration matrix was designed with 25 mixtures of these drugs. The PLS and DOSC-PLS were used for multivariate calibration of spectrophotometric data. The root mean square error …

Facile Derivative Uv Spectroscopy Method: Simultaneous Estimation Of Tinidazole And Fluconazole In Combined Tablet Dosage Form, Saurabh Pandey, Preeti Pandey, Shaifali Dubey, Udisha Chaturvedi, Awani K. Rai
The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Two derivative spectrophotometric methods have been developed for simultaneous determination of tinidazole and fluconazole in pharmaceutical formulations. The first method depends on utilization of first derivative UV spectrophotometry, with zero-crossing and peak-to-base measurement at 260.57 & 264.23 nm for fluconazole and 263.86 & 318.85 nm for tinidazole. The second method, compensation technique depends on first derivative of the ratio-spectra by measurements of the amplitudes for tinidazole and fluconazole. Calibration graphs were established for tinidazole and fluconazole in the range of 10-100 μg ml-1 and 2-20 μg ml-1, respectively. All proposed methods have been extensively validated. The results were found to …
Predictors Of Vaginal Douching Behavior And Sexual Risk Taking Among A Population Of Women In The South: The Influence Of Sexual Concurrency And Partner Incarceration, Keri J. Griffin
All ETDs from UAB
In the United States, adolescent women between the ages of 14 and 19 are estimated to bear the largest burden of sexually transmitted infections. Left untreated, these infections have the potential to result in several adverse reproductive health outcomes. Sexually risky behaviors, including early sexual initiation, sexual partner concurrency, and the use of vaginal douche products increase the risk for the contraction of sexually transmitted infections. Further, having a sexual relationship with a male partner who is known to have other partners or a history of contact with the justice system might put a woman at additional risk. Utilizing a …

Analysis Of Abundance And Biodiversity Of Mosquitoes And Their Epidemiological Implications In Three Urban Neighborhoods In The Southeastern United States, Erick Xavier Caamano
All ETDs from UAB
Birmingham, Alabama has experienced several mosquito-borne epidemics, including Saint Louis encephalitis (SLE) and West Nile virus (WNV). Despite the outbreak of these diseases, the city lacks a mosquito surveillance program that would assist in vector control efforts. In order to assess the possible advantages of implementing a surveillance system for the city, three neighborhoods were chosen for surveys based on the fact that past epidemics have been concentrated in these areas. During the two surveillance years, 2009 had more abundance of mosquitoes and more species variability than the 2010 season. Overall, as abundance of mosquitoes increased in a particular site, …
