Organized Village Of Kake V. United States Department Of Agriculture, Maresa A. Jenson

Public Land & Resources Law Review

In an en banc rehearing, the Ninth Circuit, in Organized Village of Kake v. United States Department of Agriculture, determined that the Roadless Rule should apply to the largest National Forest, the Alaskan Tongass. The significant socioeconomic impacts on Southeast Alaska contrasted with important environmental roadless values make the management of the Tongass National Forest unique and controversial. The Ninth Circuit concluded that Alaska, an intervener, had standing to appeal and that the 2003 Tongass Exception to the Roadless Rule was arbitrary and capricious.

Volumetric Properties Of Electrolytes In Natural Waters, Carmen Rodriguez

Open Access Dissertations

The research of this dissertation has focused on the volumetric properties of electrolyte solutions, including seawater, across wide ranges of temperature and concentration. The volume and compressibility are inherently useful as physical chemical properties of electrolyte solutions. They are directly related to the density and sound speed of a solution; thus, they are important for studying physical processes and properties in the ocean, including mixing, sound transmission, and water mass stability. Possibly of greater significance, however, is the volume’s role as a thermodynamic variable that guides chemical systems into equilibrium. By analyzing the volume properties of electrolyte solutions over wide …

The Effects Of Specific Training On Balance And Ambulation In A Patient With Stage Iv Glioblastoma: A Case Report, Matt Denning

Case Report Posters

Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor, often found in the cerebellum. From 2005-2009 there were 109,605 incidences of malignant brain tumors reported in the united states. Specific incidence rates for malignant brain tumors ranged from 5.8 to 11.70 per 100,000 adults 20 years or older. Stage IV is the most rapidly growing and invasive glioblastoma and most common adult neoplasm usually affecting people in the 5th or 6th decade of life. Treatment of glioblastoma frequently involves surgery to excise the tumor followed by radiation therapy. Similar to the growing malignancy these treatments often cause further progressive and even rapid neurological …

The Use Of Aquatic Therapy In Rehabilitation For A Patient Following Complicated Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Case Report, Alyssa Grigware

Case Report Posters

According to the Aquatic Physical Therapy Section of the American Physical Therapy Association, aquatic physical therapy is the evidence-based and skilled practice of physical therapy in an aquatic environment by a physical therapist, and includes interventions designed to improve or maintain: function, aerobic capacity/endurance conditioning, balance, coordination and agility, body mechanics and postural stabilization, flexibility, gait and locomotion, relaxation, muscle strength, power, and endurance. Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (rTSA) is designed specifically for the treatment of glenohumeral (GH) arthritis when it is associated with irreparable rotator cuff damage, among other complex circumstances. A typical protocol will progress from joint protection, …

Use Of The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (Lefs) In A Patient After A First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Implant: A Case Report, Courtney Brinckman

Case Report Posters

First metatarsolphalangeal (MTP) total joint implants are uncommon; however, hemi implants have increased in popularity. The. HemiCAP® (Franklin, MA) implant resurfaces the metatarsal head while leaving the distal phalanx intact. While early results of the HemiCAP(®) implant surgery have been promising, physical therapy outcome measures such as the LEFS have not been extensively studied in this population. The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a sensitive and reliable outcome measure that has commonly been used in patients with hip and knee dysfunction. While the LEFS has been used for a broad spectrum of lower-extremity pathologies, there is a paucity of …

Restoring Functional Mobility In A Patient With Delayed Onset Of Physical Rehabilitation Following A Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Case Report, Bettie Kruger, G. Noel Squires

Case Report Posters

Typical rehabilitation post-stroke is initiated as soon as the patient is medically stable. The most dramatic neurological recovery occurs within the first three to six months following medical stabilization. It has been suggested in the literature that early and frequent out of bed activity within the first 24 hours following stroke onset will enhance motor recovery. The patient in this case report was sedentary for three months following the onset of stroke and was non-ambulatory at the time of admission to sub-acute physical therapy. The purpose of this case report is to describe the rehabilitative course, motor recovery, and functional …

The Clinical Decision Making And Outcomes Of A Patient With C7, C8 Radiculopathy And Contralateral Upper Quarter Lateral Epicondylitis: A Case Report, Courtney Naimi

Case Report Posters

Preliminary diagnosis and management strategies exist for both cervical radiculopathy (CR) and lateral epicondylis, however little literature exists describing the clinical decision making and management in the presence of both conditons simultaneously. Management of (CR) (right side) can include neural mobilizations, manual therapy, and exercises. Management of lateral epicondylis (left side) can include eccentric tendinopathy management and manual therapy. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the diagnosis and management for a patient presenting simultaneously with right C7, C8 cervical radiculopathy and contralateral lateral epicondylis.

New Study The South Essay By David Wharton, Admin

Blog Posts

In a cultural climate based on the superficial, one has to wonder how much deeper the annual Elvis Death Day observances go than mere tradition and habit. Can such events be mined for anything worth knowing about the world we live in today? Was there more to be learned from Death Day ten years ago? Twenty years ago? Thirty? Those might be the most interesting questions of all to ask about what happens in Memphis on August 15.

Hypertension Patient Compliance, Taylor Myers

University Honors Program

Hypertension is a prevalent condition in the United States that often has many comorbidities. It is usually asymptomatic, so patients are less likely to comply with treatment if they feel healthy. This is a growing concern due to the complications that can arise from hypertension. Hypertension can be associated with a lower quality of life in patients that have symptoms. However, in patients that do not show symptoms they may feel that they have a higher quality of life by not changing their preexisting habits. The reasons for patient noncompliance will be studied as well as interventions to increase compliance, …
