A Dramaturgical Exploration: Setting Oliver Goldsmith’S She Stoops To Conquer In Post-Civil War Virginia, Amanda Ward

Senior Honors Theses

A reputable theatrical company will hire a dramaturg to implement historical research and to provide reputable information where the director or staff desires it. They ensure that the play’s elements are as truthful to the time period as possible and aid in a performance’s overall success. If a theatrical company were to set Oliver Goldsmith’s play She Stoops to Conquer in 1870 Virginia, it could strengthen the play’s underlying religious, political, and cultural elements.

Luckily, our videographer John Devroy (Communications) has enough Green Knights spirit to match the zest of our student-athletes and their fans. We’re happy to share Devroy’s “highlight reel” from this semester, …

Optimal Management Of Post-Traumatic Radioulnar Synostosis, Arthur Lee Osterman, Melissa S. Arief Dec 2017

Optimal Management Of Post-Traumatic Radioulnar Synostosis, Arthur Lee Osterman, Melissa S. Arief

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers

Post-traumatic radioulnar synostosis is a rare complication after forearm or elbow injury that can result in loss of motion and significant disability. Risk factors include aspects of the initial trauma and of the surgical treatment of that trauma. Surgical intervention for synostosis is the standard of care and is determined based on the location of the bony bridge. Surgical timing is recommended between 6 months and 2 years with recent advocacy for the 6- to 12-month period after radiographs demonstrate bony maturation but early enough to prevent further stiffness and contractures. For most types of synostosis, surgical resection with interposition …
