Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Hypertension (HTN) is a significant health concern, with a recent increase in HTN-related cardiovascular deaths in the United States. Refractory hypertension, a form of treatment-resistant HTN, poses a challenge for physicians and patients due to its association with increased morbidity and mortality.

Risk factors for refractory HTN include African ancestry, female gender, younger age, diabetes mellitus, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, and smoking. While the exact pathophysiology of refractory HTN is not fully understood, sympathetic overdrive appears to be a significant contributing factor. Arterial stiffness, chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea, obesity, and diabetes mellitus …

Waiting For A Liver Transplant In New Mexico; Understanding The State’S Multi-Layered Adversity, Husam Bader, Mahrukh Khan, Joud Maghnam, Rama Maghnam, Anthony Ricca

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Contrary to the assumption of consistent medical care for patients with specific illnesses in the United States, research reveals vast inconsistencies and inequalities in healthcare delivery, affecting various aspects such as mental illness diagnosis and management, life expectancy differences, overall mortality rates, and healthcare accessibility due to racial, ethnic, and cultural disparities [1-6]. Liver transplantation, particularly studied in the context of the state of New Mexico (NM), highlights the multilayered inherent disadvantages faced by its citizens.

Review Of On The Resurrection: Evidences Volume 1, Brian G. Chilton

Liberty Theological Review

Dr. Brian Chilton reviews the first volume of Dr. Gary Habermas's magnum opus On the Resurrection: Evidences. Chilton summarizes Habermas's work, offering key themes found throughout the book. Then, he analyzes the methodology of the book and confronts the possible objections offered by popular naysayers of the minimal facts approach. Chilton ultimately deduces that the naysayers objections are overblown and that Habermas's approach stands on its own.

Review Of The Meanings Of Discipleship: Being Disciples Then And Now, Cory T. Branham

Liberty Theological Review

Discipleship is not, and has never been, one specific thing, at one specific time, or place. Rather, it has a rich, but also often unflattering, history. That history is fool of ups, downs, rights, wrongs, twists, and turns. Discipleship in the Church can be viewed in two parts; The early Church through the Nineteenth Century being Part I (8). The explosion of Discipleship teachings and tactics that began in the Twentieth Century, and continues to the present, being Part II (9). Discipleship informs some believers to engage socially and politically yet encourages many believers to stay away from those circles.

Pinpointing Key Dates In Jesus’ Life: His Birth, The Start Of His Ministry, And His Crucifixion, James A. Moseley

Liberty Theological Review

The abundant chronological details embedded in Scripture, along with external time markers in other ancient histories and in astronomical events, persuasively support the view that Jesus was born in mid-June, 2 BC, not on December 25, 4 BC, and that His ministry endured not for three years, as so often claimed, but for 1,350 days or nearly four years, from His baptism on Sunday, 7 Elul, September 2, AD 29 to His ascension on Friday, 26 Iyar, May 13, AD 33.

Echoes Of Eden In Proverbs: Towards A Biblical Theological Ethic, Armen Oganessian

Liberty Theological Review

Abstract:

This study argues for a biblical-theological approach to the ethics of Proverbs. It proposes that the ethical foundation for Proverbs lies in the principles established in Genesis 1-4 The argument unfolds as follows: Tracing the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants, one sees Solomon, the author of Proverbs, as a partial fulfillment of the promised seed in Genesis 3:15. Furthermore, other biblical writers depict Solomon as an Adamic king ruling in an Eden-like context. Consequently, understanding Proverbs' position within redemptive history encourages readers to interpret it through an Edenic framework. In other words, a biblical-theological approach compels readers to interpret Proverbs …

Rage Against The Machine: Copyright Infringement In Ai-Generated Music, Joseph Will

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

Others, including some musicians, have expressed excitement about AI and its potential for furthering creativity. Much focus has been placed on “deepfakes” of famous musicians, but there is also the issue of the use of copyrighted songs as training inputs for AI music generators. Some have argued that this machine learning process constitutes widespread copyright infringement, though it is not clear how courts will address this novel phenomenon. This Note examines AI-generated music through the lens …

A Patent Pool-Party: Changing The Current Use Of Patent Pools For Treatment Innovation In Public Health Emergencies, Emma Whitmore

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

Intellectual property laws have been in tension with the creation of innovation for the public good since their inception. Many intellectual property concepts such as patents create an opportunity for ownership of invention, which in the general market and in typical life circumstances, has the power to aid innovation and work successfully in the market. However, in times of emergency, intellectual property can create a roadblock that costs human life. As highlighted in the current COVID-19 pandemic, intellectual property laws have the power to act as a hinderance to the innovation of lifesaving treatments by not allowing information to be …

Guilty Pleasures: The Copyright And Labor Of Reality Television, Emily Tracy

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

The Writers Guild of America’s 2023 strike forced audiences to reckon with Hollywood’s labor issues and the powerhouse unions that seek to solve them. Television networks responded with “strike-proof” fall schedules that highlighted a gap in the entertainment industry’s union membership: reality television. This Note examines and questions that gap, focusing on the labor of reality story producers and the important role it plays in creating a copyrightable product. Although copyright doctrine offers story producers little to no protection against exploitation, copyright case law implicitly recognizes story producers as, essentially, writers. This Note uses that case law to argue that …

The Supreme Court’s June 2023 decision in Jack Daniel’s v. VIP Products prompts a critical analysis of the once-dominant Rogers v.

Slowing Down Fast Fashion: How Improved Intellectual Property Law Can Protect Designers And Promote Sustainability, Julia Krzeminski

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

Fast fashion, characterized as clothing made quickly and cheaply, can be seen as a solution for consumers who want to participate in current fashion trends at price points they can afford. While creating a solution for consumers, fast fashion creates even greater problems for both the environment and the designers responsible for creating the clothing everyone wants to wear.

In order to keep up with consumer demand for low-cost, trendy items, many fast fashion retailers look to the work of other designers to determine what to create and sell. In doing so, the line between inspiration and imitation may be …

Commerciality & Originality: Andy Warhol’S Impact On Analyzing Fair Use On Social Media, Bob Anderson

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

This Note creates a three-bucket commerciality approach for noncommercial content, advertisements, and monetized content to answer how copyright’s fair use protects social media content. To demonstrate its application, the bucket approach is applied to current discussions surrounding social media including video thumbnails, memes, reaction and commentary videos, music in videos, and news reporting. While there is no definitive answer to fair use, this Note attempts to provide clearer guidance using Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith’s lessons.

With the amount of social media content growing exponentially, copying of original content has become rampant. Though many …
