When Fines Don't Go Far Enough: The Failure Of Prison Settlements And Proposals For More Effective Enforcement Methods, Tori Collins

Maine Law Review

The Eighth Amendment’s Punishments Clause provides the basis on which prisoners may bring suit alleging unconstitutional conditions of confinement. Only a small number of these suits are successful. The suits that do survive typically end in a settlement in which prison authorities agree to address the unconstitutional conditions. However, settlements such as these are easily flouted for two primary reasons: prison authorities are not personally held liable when settlements are broken, and prisoners largely lack the political and practical leverage to self-advocate beyond the courtroom. Because of this, unconstitutional prison conditions may linger for years after prison authorities have agreed …

The Case For Second Chances: A Pathway To Decarceration In Maine, Catherine Besteman, Leo Hylton

Maine Law Review

The Article argues that Maine incarcerates too many people, for too long, for too many things, at too great of an expense. We offer evidence to support this claim, briefly review some of the criminal legal legislation that shaped our present reality, and show how recent efforts at reform have been, at best, only modestly successful. In concert with a growing number of expert voices across the country calling for strategies of decarceration, our goal is to demonstrate the need for second chance legislation in Maine in the form of the reinstatement of parole, an effective clemency process, a far-reaching …

Power V. Power: Federal Pattern-Or-Practice Enforcement Actions Applied To Local Prosecutors, Thomas P. Hogan

Maine Law Review

One of the most powerful tools available to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to stop abuses in the criminal justice system is the federal pattern-or-practice statute, which allows DOJ to bring an enforcement action to prevent discriminatory conduct by government agencies. The most powerful actor in the criminal justice system is the district attorney, the local prosecutor who is at the center of the system. Does DOJ’s pattern-or-practice enforcement authority extend to local prosecutors? This crucial question remains unresolved in formal precedent and has not been addressed in the relevant literature. This Article explores the issue in detail, …

Retrograde Type A　Acute Aortic Dissection With Cerebral Malperfusion Six Years After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair, Hideki Sasaki, Yukihide Numata, Shinji Kamiya, Yoshiaki Sone, Miki Asano

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

A 59-year-old male with prior thoracic endovascular aortic repair presented with altered mental status. Magnetic resonance imaging showed cerebral infarction, and subsequent computed tomography revealed acute type A aortic dissection and right carotid artery occlusion. He underwent total arch replacement with right carotid artery bypass. After successful intervention, he was transferred to a rehabilitation facility for further improvement.

Systolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure Thresholds Predictive Of Dyspnea On Stress Doppler Echocardiography In Mitral Stenosis, Saléha Lehachi, Fadila Daimellah, Saida Khelil, Zakia Bennoui, Djohar Hannoun, Youcef Laid, Rachid Mechmeche, Mohand Said Issad

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Background. On Stress Doppler Echocardiography (SDE) in mitral stenosis, the systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) threshold at peak exercise recommended by the guidelines as an indication for percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) used to be 60 mmHg. However, because of the paucity of studies, that threshold has been controversial. The Europeans stopped using the value in 2007, followed by the Americans in 2014.

Objective. Determine SPAP thresholds on SDE at peak exercise and post-exercise predictive of dyspnea as an indication for PMC in mitral stenosis.

Method and results. Three hundred mitral stenosis patients with a mitral valve area (MVA) ≤ 2 …

The Potential Impact Of Ibuprofen On Level Of Il-6, Laith Ali Younus

Maaen Journal for Medical Sciences

Ibuprofen is a well-known Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) that has historically been used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. It is used as an over-the-counter pain reliever for conditions like headache, backache, muscle aches, toothaches, fever, and dysmenorrhea. It is used to treat chronic illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and others for an extended period of time. Due to its great efficacy compared to acetaminophen and relative safety compared to aspirin, it is also frequently used in juvenile patients to treat acute pain and fever by inhibiting prostaglandins, but they can also lower immunity by reducing …

Nature, Tradition, And Virtue: Restoring The Conservative Good Life, Bruce P. Frohnen

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

Conservatism, always a contested term, has become the subject of major confusion in the post-Cold War era. As it emerged after the Second World War in the writings of Russell Kirk and the pages of William F. Buckley’s National Review, the conservative movement already was more coalition than single program or philosophy. The notion of conservative “fusionism” was a convenient but superficial means of holding together libertarians, politically under-defined anti-communists, and traditional conservatives in pursuit of their common public policy goals. As the Cold War wound down and the Republican Party devolved into neoliberal globalism, the movement dissolved into mutually …

Return To Deliberation, Richard M. Reinsch Ii

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

American conservatism finds itself facing an array of difficult if not intractable challenges and problems. Progressive elements dictate revolutionary claims about gender, race, economics, policing, alongside their dismissal of American history as just racism, sexism, and homophobia. Moreover, progressives sit atop the commanding heights of culture, education, social media, influential corporations, and the federal bureaucracy. Conservatives still win elections about half the time, but face incredible problems in governing because of this political, cultural, and educational imbalance of power.

The Use And Abuse Of Tradition: A Comment On Degirolami’S Traditionalism Rising, Andrew Koppelman

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

Marc DeGirolami’s essay, Traditionalism Rising, argues that the Supreme Court is now deploying what he calls “traditionalist methodology” to decide cases, and that when it cites tradition it is following a “larger, longstanding interpretive method.”

The paper is a valuable contribution that documents an important trend. The Court is in fact invoking tradition with remarkable frequency. But it is a mistake to call what the Court is doing a single “methodology.” Tradition is relevant in different ways in different contexts. It is confusing to conflate them.

Effectiveness Of Mycorrhizae And Vermicompost Seed Inoculation For Germination, Vegetative Growth, Cannabinoid Content, And Cured Flower Weight Of Cbd-Rich Hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.), Hannah Boyer, Nicole Wagner, Merritt Drewery

Journal of Agricultural Hemp Research

Effective germination and vigorous growth of hemp cultivars is paramount to cultivators’ ability to produce high-quality hemp products. Beneficial bacteria and fungi are known symbionts to plants and are used in regenerative agriculture to increase plant health and crop yield. This pilot study investigated the effect of microbial seed inoculation on germination rate, plant height, cured flower weight, and cannabinoid content of cannabidiol (CBD)-rich hemp (Cannabis sativa L). The experiment included a control and the following treatments: 1) seed inoculation of Great White ^â Premium Mycorrhizae (GW), 2) seed inoculation of vermicompost (V), and 3) seed inoculation of Great …

Deontology In Graphs: An Elucidation, Alec Walen

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

Representing conceptual relationships in graphic form can be clarifying. The exercise can make the graph composer and the graph reader ask questions they otherwise might not have asked. Of course, graphs also require the composer to make choices: what do you put in, what do you merely approximate, what do you try to make precise, what might look more precise than you mean to be? These choices need to be explained and defended to make the graphs meaningful representational tools. But if explained and defended, graphs can provide a distinctively helpful tool, especially to those like moral philosophers who tend …

Revitalizing The Right, David Azerrad

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

Debating the nature of conservatism may well be the favorite hobby of American conservatives. While the question will never be resolved to anyone’s satisfaction, it is a pleasant enough pastime to detract from the failures of the American conservative movement to conserve much anything of worth (unless you count the movement itself, in all its sinecurial grifting splendor, as something of worth).

Fibrin Glue Acutely Blocks Distal Muscle Contraction After Confirmed Polyethylene Glycol Nerve Fusion: An Animal Study., Alec H Fisher, Parker H Johnsen, Andrew Simon, Cameron J Burns, Vineeth Romiyo, Elliot B Bodofsky, Sebastian Vega, David A Fuller

Cooper Medical School of Rowan University Departmental Research

BACKGROUND: Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a synthetic, biodegradable, and hyperosmotic material promising in the treatment of acute peripheral nerve injuries. Our team set out to investigate the impact of fibrin glue upon PEG fusion in a rat model.

METHODS: Eighteen rats underwent sciatic nerve transection and PEG fusion. Electrophysiologic testing was performed to measure nerve function and distal muscle twitch. Fibrin glue was applied and testing repeated. Due to preliminary findings, fibrin glue was applied to an uncut nerve in five rodents and testing was conducted before and after glue application. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare median values …
