Maternal-Preterm Infant Interaction Subsequent To High-Risk Pregnancy, Beth P. Black

Dissertations

Maternal-preterm infant interactions affect cognitive and social development of the infant. Little research has focused on the unique contribution of maternal health to interactions. Using data from two NIH-funded longitudinal studies of preterm infants and mothers, this dissertation examined the effects of three high-risk maternal health conditions--chronic illness predating pregnancy, a history of infertility or reproductive loss, and pregnancy-related illness--on interactions. Three separate papers comprised the dissertation. Data between the two NIH-funded studies were analyzed separately as replications within each paper.

Dehumanization And Medical Abuse: Understanding Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy And Physician Liability, Michelle Deutsch

Senior Honors Theses

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP), according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is a relatively rare psychiatric disorder and form of child abuse wherein a caretaker will either purposefully induce real symptoms to make their child appear gravely sick or fabricate false medical symptoms, even in the absence of external rewards. It remains difficult to diagnose perpetrators of MSBP because the caretaker’s extreme concern for their child’s supposed ailments is rationalized as caring and devoted. However, the victim may suffer grievous physical and psychological damage, including death. Thus, it is pivotal that medical professionals and forensic evaluators …

Trump Maintains Lead Over Desantis In New Hampshire Gop 2024 Race 7/18/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Former President Donald Trump continues to lead his GOP rivals in the New Hampshire 2024 Republican presidential primary. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is his closest rival but trails Trump by double digits. Trump supporters are far more likely than DeSantis voters to say they have made up their mind. South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is the most personally well-liked candidate while former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is very unpopular and is most likely to be mentioned by likely primary voters as the candidate they would not vote for under any circumstances.

Metamorphic P-T Paths Of Archean Granulite Facies Metasedimentary Lithologies From The Eastern Beartooth Mountains Of The Northern Wyoming Province, Montana, Usa: Constraints From Quartz-In-Garnet (Quig) Raman Elastic Barometry, Geothermobarometry, And Thermodynamic Modeling, Larry Tuttle, Darrell J. Henry

Faculty Publications

Metamorphic pressure and temperature (P-T) paths in late-Archean high-grade rocks of the eastern Beartooth Mountains of Montana (USA), a portion of the Wyoming Province, are established by a combination of imaging, analytical, and modeling approaches. Garnet inclusion mechanical and chemical thermobarometry, applied to several granulite-facies migmatites and an iron formation, is particularly useful in constraining the prograde P-T conditions. Quartz-in-garnet (QuiG) elastic Raman barometry was used on quartz inclusions in garnet for all samples studied. For a smaller subset of four representative samples, QuiG constraints were used in conjunction with Ti-in-quartz (TitaniQ) and Ti-in-biotite (TiB) thermometry to establish unique prograde …

[Excerpt From] Reflective Practice (3rd Ed.), Sara Horton-Deutsch, Gwen Sherwood

Sigma Publications: Book Excerpts

This item record pertains to an excerpt from Reflective Practice, 3rd ed., which is provided free of charge by the publisher.

About this book:

A nurse's work is multifaceted, medically complex, technically precise, and physically demanding. But nursing—the act of caring—is also social, emotional, impactful, and personal. Because nursing education programs prioritize the importance of the technical and physical aspects of nursing, that is what they teach. This leaves practicing nurses poorly equipped to understand the science of caring and unprepared for the constant stream of emotional and psychological stressors that come with this profoundly important work. The unintended …

Quantifying The Impact Of The 2022 Formula One Technical Regulations On Wake Turbulence: A Numerical Analysis, Luis A. Méndez

Honors Theses

For the 2022 Formula One (F1) season, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) introduced a new set of technical regulations that reduce the complexity of the aerodynamic devices such as the spoilers, often called wings. The objective of this regulation change is to reduce the amount of turbulence produced, which should allow the cars to trail behind one another closer and make for easier overtaking, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the sport. The present study evaluates and quantifies the aerodynamic performance of a 2022 F1 car by using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses. Both a study of a 2022 specification …

Democratic Facades, Authoritarian Penchants: Post-Communist Monetary Restructuring In The Baltic States, Jokubas Salyga

Political Science Faculty Publications

This paper argues that the paths taken by Estonia and Latvia in their departure from the rouble zone are illustrative of authoritarian neoliberal governance. By challenging the widely assumed simultaneity of ‘democratic’ and ‘market’ revolutions, it critiques institutionalist literature on Baltic exchange-rate regimes and sheds light on the various methods employed to curtail democratic political discourse and participation. The paper delves into the origins of the Baltic neoliberal historical blocs and identifies the social forces that influenced the development of monetary reform initiatives. It then explores the construction of exchange-rate systems through the lens of power struggles within the state …

Evaluating The Effect Of Symbiodiniacea On Survival, Growth, And Acquisition Of Newly Settled Corals Of Three Caribbean Species, Michael B. Hood

All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations

Symbiosis between corals and Symbiodiniaceae is critical to coral reef health. However, this mutually beneficial relationship is threatened by a variety of stressors. This study aims to assess if seeding newly settled corals with different species of Symbiodiniaceae promotes differences in survival, growth, and symbiont acquisition in corals. Three reef-building species (Colpophyllia natans, Orbicella faveolata, and Pseudodiploria strigosa) reared in sterile saltwater baths were seeded with one of four Symbiodiniaceae species (Breviolum minutum, Durusdinium trenchii, Fugacium kawagutii, and Symbiodinium microadriaticum). Coral survival, growth, and symbiont acquisition were assessed biweekly during the first two months and monthly …

Biopsy-Proven Anticoagulant-Related Nephropathy: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature, Hussam Al Hennawi, Muhammad Shan Ul Abedin, Rui Song, Majid Khan

Abington Jefferson Health Papers

Anticoagulant-related nephropathy is a type of acute kidney injury that may follow warfarin and other anticoagulants. Anticoagulant-related nephropathy has been shown to be associated with irreversible kidney injury and increased risk for morbidity. Accurate diagnosis and management remain to be challenging. We describe a case of a 62-year-old man with significant cardiac history who presented with impaired kidney function associated with supratherapeutic international normalized ratio. Kidney biopsy findings suggested anticoagulant-related nephropathy.
