Implementation Of Evidence Based Practices To Reduce Postoperative Sore Throat, Anthony Brusadin Oct 2023

Implementation Of Evidence Based Practices To Reduce Postoperative Sore Throat, Anthony Brusadin

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

An estimated 15 million endotracheal tube (ETT) intubations occur annually in the United States. In addition to pain and nausea, one of the leading complaints by patients after intubation is a sore throat. Postoperative sore throat (POST) is caused by increased pressure on the trachea from the ETT during intubation and after the ETT cuff has been inflated. To prevent the occurrences of POST many options were explored, including cuff material, shape, filling media, and ETT tube size. Through research one of the ways to reduce POST is by monitoring the cuff pressure of the ETT against the tracheal. Typically, …

Giving Up Control: Hybrid Ai-Augmented Workflows For Image-Making, Joshua Vermillion Oct 2023

Giving Up Control: Hybrid Ai-Augmented Workflows For Image-Making, Joshua Vermillion

Tradition Innovations in Arts, Design, and Media Higher Education

This paper argues that if we are to come to creative terms with AI image-making then we must critically interrogate these new tools in the production of creative works. In doing so, designers can start to chart new creative workflows that integrate AI for image-making while augmenting and then evolving our current ways of designing. Workflows are shown that relate to how AI models can augment human creativity in hybrid (human and AI) creative endeavors while taking advantage of the affordances of these technologies.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by leveraging the body's immune system to combat cancer cells. However, its effectiveness in brain cancer is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), impeding the delivery of ICIs to brain tumor cells. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of using focused ultrasound combined with microbubble-mediated BBB opening (FUS-BBBO) to facilitate trans-BBB delivery of an ICI, anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 antibody (aPD-L1) to the brain of a large animal model. In a porcine model, FUS sonication of targeted brain regions was performed after intravenous microbubble injection, which was followed …

Comparison Of Carcass Characteristics, Meat Quality, And Fatty Acid Composition In Slowand Fast-Growing Broilers At Different Slaughter Weights, Büşra Yaranoğlu, Hi̇lal Çapar Akyüz, Esi̇n Ebru Onbaşilar Oct 2023

Comparison Of Carcass Characteristics, Meat Quality, And Fatty Acid Composition In Slowand Fast-Growing Broilers At Different Slaughter Weights, Büşra Yaranoğlu, Hi̇lal Çapar Akyüz, Esi̇n Ebru Onbaşilar

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study aimed to compare the slaughter, meat quality characteristics, and fatty acid composition of fast-growing (FAG) and slow-growing (SWG) broilers at different slaughter weights. In the experiments, a total of 90 carcasses were used: 45 SWG (Hubbard-Isa Red JA) and 45 FAG broilers (Ross 308) with 15 carcasses from each slaughter weight group (1500 ± 50 g, 2000 ± 50 g, 2500 ± 50 g). Hot carcass yield and cold carcass yield detected in the FAG broilers were higher than in SGW broilers (p < 0.001). As the weight of slaughter increased, hot carcass and cold carcass yield increased (p < 0.001). The breast percentage was significantly lower in the SWG broilers compared to the FAG broilers (p < 0.001). In contrast, thigh, wing, and abdominal fat percentages were higher in the SWG broilers (p < 0.001). The breast percentage increased as the slaughter weight increased (p < 0.001). SWG broilers had significantly lower pH, except for the pH 24 of the thigh meat (p < 0.01). The L*, a*, and b* values of the SWG broilers were lower than the FAG broilers (p < 0.01). In terms of a* values determined initially and at the 24th h in the breast and thigh meat, the 1500 g slaughter weight group had by far the highest value (p < 0.01). SWG broilers had significantly lower values in terms of cooking loss, water-holding capacity, and drip loss (p < 0.001). C18:2ω6 was detected at higher amounts in the FAG broilers (p < 0.05). The FAG broilers had higher PUFA, desired fatty acids, PUFA/SFA, and thrombogenic index values (p < 0.05). The results show that FAG broilers can meet the strong worldwide demand for meat quantity and quality. Slaughter weight changes only affected the quantity of the meat.

Thermodynamic Frustration Of Tad2 And Prr Contribute To Autoinhibition Of P53, Emily Gregory Oct 2023

Thermodynamic Frustration Of Tad2 And Prr Contribute To Autoinhibition Of P53, Emily Gregory

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The intrinsically disordered transcription factor and tumor suppressor p53 binds to promoter response element DNA upon cellular stress and activates genes associated with cell cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis. Disruption of sequence specific binding to target gene promoters is heavily implicated in human health, where a majority of cancers contain mutations localized to the DNA binding domain (DBD) of p53. p53 DNA binding is regulated by posttranslational modifications, associations with cellular factors, and by an autoinhibitory intramolecular interaction. The autoinhibitory intramolecular interaction occurs when the disordered N-terminal transactivation domain (TAD) interacts with the ordered DBD. Previous work in the Daughdrill …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Salsolinol (1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6,7-diol) is a close structural analogue of dopamine with an asymmetric center at the C1 position, and its presence in vivo, both in humans and rodents, has already been proven. Yet, given the fact that salsolinol colocalizes with dopamine-rich regions and was first detected in the urine of Parkinson's disease patients, its direct role in the process of neurodegeneration has been proposed. Here, we report that
