Police Chief Turnover In Texas: Do Institutional Environments Matter?, Yudu Li

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

The field of organizational studies has extensively examined factors influencing the turnover and succession of public officers, yet limited attention has been given to chiefs of police. Using institutional theory as a framework, this study explores police chief turnover by focusing on the institutional environment and the relationships between police chiefs and key individuals and entities within their communities. Utilizing survey data collected from police chiefs attending mandatory training programs designed for new appointees, the analysis reveals that police chief turnover is substantially associated with the quality of relationships with key stakeholders within the institutional environments, both individually and collectively. …

Beyond Brushing: Can Toothpaste Cure Your Child’S Peanut Allergy?, Michael J. Heiss D.D.S., Benjamin Solomowitz Dmd

The New York State Dental Journal

Peanut allergies pose significant health risks globally, with an increasing prevalence observed over the past two decades. Accidental exposures to peanuts can lead to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, prompting the exploration of innovative therapeutic approaches to mitigate these risks. This literature review examines the potential use of peanut proteins embedded within toothpaste formulations as a novel avenue for inducing tolerance in individuals with peanut allergies. It includes recent studies and clinical trials in oral immunotherapy, focusing on mechanisms of action, safety profiles and long-term outcomes associated with controlled allergen exposure. Key findings suggest that oral mucosal therapy, particularly sublingual …

Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome With Familial Manifestation: A Case Report With Emphasis On Early Diagnosis, Ravinder Singh, Deepak Gupta, Aashna Garg, Aanchal Gupta, Sushruh Nayak

The New York State Dental Journal

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is a hereditary autosomal dominant disorder. It has multiple clinical manifestations caused by mutation in the patched gene (PTCH), which is responsible for the growth and development of healthy tissue and for regulating the cell cycle. Early diagnosis of the condition and an extended duration of follow-up are essential to prevent complications, such as basal cell carcinomas and facial deformities, leading to a more favorable prognosis. This case was diagnosed with the presence of three major and two minor criteria, which confirmed the condition. We hereby report a case of a young male patient diagnosed by clinical, radiological …

Real-World Treatment Patterns And Management Gaps Of Lumbar Disc Herniation In The United States, Amit Bhandutia, Min Yang, Qing Liu, Yipeng Gao, Jiaxuan Liu, Steven Liu, Amy Guo, Kinsuk Chauhan

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) affects approximately 1% to 3% of the population annually and leads to substantial physical burden, quality-of-life burden, and productivity loss. Commonly used interventions, including pharmacological and epidural steroid injections (ESIs), have limited high-quality evidence to support their effectiveness in the long-term for treating LDH beyond symptom relief. In general, there is a lack of consensus for timing of treatment after LDH onset and limited data on real-world treatment of LDH. The objective of this study was to describe current real-world treatment patterns and inform gaps in clinical management of patients with LDH. METHODS: A retrospective …

Dammed, Diverted, & Dry: The Colorado River Delta Deserves A Chance, Davin Roark

Water Law Review

Over the last century, dams and diversions on the Colorado River have devastated the Colorado River Delta and the Sea of Cortez-a crisis exacerbated by climate change. While Minutes 319 and 323 of the 1944 Treaty between the United States and Mexico have achieved some success, they have failed to adequately protect or restore the ecosystem in the face of our changing climate. The research is clear: the Delta continues to be in serious trouble. As Minute 323's expiration rapidly approaches, negotiations regarding its successor are ongoing. The International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) has the power to ensure this …

Uncertain Future: How Conditional Water Rights Have Created Unintended Consequences In Colorado, Andrew Teegarden

Water Law Review

Conditional water rights within Colorado can create uncertainty for other water users within the prior appropriation system. These issues stem from recent treatment of conditional rights as akin to a vested property right, rather than a placeholder pursuant to which an applicant hopes to be awarded a vested right. Conditional water rights provide a degree of water security for a specifically identified future use by authorizing an applicant to reserve a place in line within Colorado's priority system for a water right to apply to such use. However, to protect the integrity of the priority system, an applicant's right to …

Miscanthus × Giganteus Increases Soil Maximum Water Holding Capacity Compared To Maize, Jessica T. Nelson, Maoz Dor, Andy D. Vanloocke, Jacob E. Studt, Perla K. Schrock, Marshall D. Mcdaniel

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Soil ecosystem services, like the ability to store water, have been depleted after a century of conventional, annual cropping, and perennial crops offer a solution to this and other agricultural environmental issues. We assessed the impact of Miscanthus × giganteus (miscanthus), a perennial biomass crop, on soil water holding capacity and structure compared to continuous maize (Zea mays L.) at two sites in Iowa. After three growing seasons, we measured the following: (1) maximum water holding capacity (MWHC) with and without soil structure, and (2) total porosity and pore size distribution (PSD) via micro-computed tomography (microCT). Miscanthus increased MWHC …
