Factors Contributing To Weight Gain In Children Who Take Atypical Antipsychotics, Martha Faulkner Feb 2014

Factors Contributing To Weight Gain In Children Who Take Atypical Antipsychotics, Martha Faulkner

Nursing ETDs

Children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED) who take atypical antipsychotics (AAs) gain significant amounts of weight. The purpose of this retrospective chart review study was to determine if type of AA, diagnosis, ethnicity/race, age, gender or months in treatment contribute to BMI z change score (weight gain). The sample was 110 children with SED who took AAs for 1-36 months, M age=10.5 years (SD=3.4, range 5-17), 67% male, 53% Hispanic or Latino. The average weight gain in the study was 22 pounds (0.33 BMI z change score). The percent of children classifed as overwieght or obese increased from …


Genome-Wide Rnai Ionomics Screen Reveals New Genes And Regulation Of Human Trace Element Metabolism, Mikalai I. Malinouski, Nesrin M. Hasan, Yan Zhang, Javier Seravalli, Jie Lin, Andrei Avanesov, Svetlana Lutsenko, Vadim N. Gladyshev Feb 2014

Genome-Wide Rnai Ionomics Screen Reveals New Genes And Regulation Of Human Trace Element Metabolism, Mikalai I. Malinouski, Nesrin M. Hasan, Yan Zhang, Javier Seravalli, Jie Lin, Andrei Avanesov, Svetlana Lutsenko, Vadim N. Gladyshev

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Trace elements are essential for human metabolism and dysregulation of their homoeostasis is associated with numerous disorders. Here we characterize mechanisms that regulate trace elements in human cells by designing and performing a genome-wide high-throughput siRNA/ionomics screen, and examining top hits in cellular and biochemical assays. The screen reveals high stability of the ionomes, especially the zinc ionome, and yields known regulators and novel candidates. We further uncover fundamental differences in the regulation of different trace elements. Specifically, selenium levels are controlled through the selenocysteine machinery and expression of abundant selenoproteins; copper balance is affected by lipid metabolism and requires …

The Early Time Course Of Autophagy In Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Following Endurance Exercise, Kathryn Lanphere Feb 2014

The Early Time Course Of Autophagy In Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Following Endurance Exercise, Kathryn Lanphere

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

Exercise disrupts homeostasis and leads to the induction of an important catabolic system called autophagy. Autophagy is a beneficial cell survival process that is induced in periods of starvation. The purposes of this study are to (1) determine the time course of autophagy activation following endurance exercise at 70% of VO2max in a warm environment and (2) to determine if exercising at 50% of VO2max induces autophagy in a warm environment. Methods. Eight endurance trained subjects (2 females) participated in this study and completed a moderate intensity exercise (MIE) trial for 1h (50% of VO2max ), and a high intensity …

Detecting Deception Via Eyeblink Frequency Modulation, Brandon S. Perelman Feb 2014

Detecting Deception Via Eyeblink Frequency Modulation, Brandon S. Perelman

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

To assess the efficacy of using eyeblink frequency modulation to detect deception about a third party, 32 participants were sent on a mission to deliver a package to an interviewer. 17 of the participants lied to the interviewer about the details of their mock mission and 15 responded truthfully. During the interview, eyeblink frequency data were collected via electromyography and recorded video. Liars displayed eye- blink frequency suppression while lying, while truth tellers exhibited an increase in eyeblink frequency during the mission relevant questioning period. The compen- satory flurry of eyeblinks following deception observed in previous studies was ab- sent …

Analysis Of Faunal Remains From Queen Anne Square, Newport, Rhode Island, Timothy S. Young Feb 2014

Analysis Of Faunal Remains From Queen Anne Square, Newport, Rhode Island, Timothy S. Young

Northeast Historical Archaeology

Queen Anne Square, Newport, Rhode Island, is a northeastern coastal site. This report presents the results of the analysis of faunal remains from three features representing different 18th-century households. The data show a heavy dependence on domestic animals. All three features contain over 90% domestic animals by biomass. The site closely resembles southeastern sites in percentages of cow and pig MNI. It also resembles other northeastern sites, however, in its high percentage of caprine MNI. This is probably indicative of an intermediate dietary pattern. There are also differences among the features; these can be attributed either to the economic status …

Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Testing In The College Classroom: Knowledge, Attitudes, And Concerns Of Introductory Biology Students, Nicanor Austriaco Feb 2014

Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Testing In The College Classroom: Knowledge, Attitudes, And Concerns Of Introductory Biology Students, Nicanor Austriaco

Biology Faculty Publications

Pioneered by companies like 23andMe.com, deCODEme.com, and Navigenics.com, direct-to-consumer genetic testing refers to genetic tests that are marketed directly to consumers via television, print media, or the Internet. This kind of testing provides access to a customer’s genetic information without necessarily involving either a medical health care professional or a genetic counselor in the process. In recent years, a course offered to medical and graduate students at Stanford University has included an option for students to undergo personal genotyping, raising the possibility that direct-to-consumer genetic testing could also be incorporated into undergraduate biology courses to enhance student learning. In this …

Effects Of Cryptogamic Crusts On Water Infiltration And Evapora· Lion Rates On Desert Soils, Eric Edgley Feb 2014

Effects Of Cryptogamic Crusts On Water Infiltration And Evapora· Lion Rates On Desert Soils, Eric Edgley

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of microbiotic (also called cryptogamic) crusts on soil surfaces on water infiltration and evaporative rates on a soil developed from fine textural lake sediments in Utah County, Utah. Twenty study plots (10 with cryptogamic cover and 10 without) are adjacent to the Camp Floyd Cemetery near Cedar Fort, Utah. They were established to evaluate the effect of cryptogamic cover on rates of water infiltration. Two aliquots of 150 ml of water were applied sequentially to each plot through standing water infiltration rings. The infiltration time of each aliquot was recorded. …


Identification Of A Rat Gene Regulated By Dietary Selenium, Chris Cowdell Feb 2014

Identification Of A Rat Gene Regulated By Dietary Selenium, Chris Cowdell

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Various genes have been discovered which are regulated by the dietary Intake of the trace element Selenium (Se).Some of these genes code for such enzymes as glutathione peroxidase (GP J Type I iodothyronine 5′ delodinase (IDI), and selenoproteln P (Se-P). GP, is an enzyme (a selenoenzyme) which Incorporates Se in place of sulfur within residues of the amino acid cysteine. GP, Is active In the assistance of free radical elimination throughout the body by converting hydrogen peroxide (H,02 ) to oxygen (02) and water (H20). IDI is a selenoenzyme which catalyzes the conversion of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T 4) …

Aged Rats Are Hypo-Responsive To Acute Restraint: Implications For Psychosocial Stress In Aging, Heather M. Buechel, Jelena Popovic, Kendra Staggs, Katie L. Anderson, Olivier Thibault, Eric M. Blalock Feb 2014

Aged Rats Are Hypo-Responsive To Acute Restraint: Implications For Psychosocial Stress In Aging, Heather M. Buechel, Jelena Popovic, Kendra Staggs, Katie L. Anderson, Olivier Thibault, Eric M. Blalock

Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences Faculty Publications

Cognitive processes associated with prefrontal cortex and hippocampus decline with age and are vulnerable to disruption by stress. The stress/stress hormone/allostatic load hypotheses of brain aging posit that brain aging, at least in part, is the manifestation of life-long stress exposure. In addition, as humans age, there is a profound increase in the incidence of new onset stressors, many of which are psychosocial (e.g., loss of job, death of spouse, social isolation), and aged humans are well-understood to be more vulnerable to the negative consequences of such new-onset chronic psychosocial stress events. However, the mechanistic underpinnings of this age-related shift …
