There are more than a dozen drug targeting different pathways in NASH …

Malabar Pit Viper Envenomation Presenting With Symptomatic Hyperkalaemia In A Tertiary Care Centre In South Karnataka, Vrinda Lath

Manipal Journal of Medical Sciences

A 25-year-old male was bitten by a pit viper over the foot and presented with a tender and oedematous bitten limb a day after the bite. He had received anti-snake venom (ASV) at a local centre and developed anaphylaxis. He was admitted for observation and developed sudden onset hyperkalaemia and hemodynamic instability which responded to anti-hyperkalemic measures. We highlight envenomation by a species not known to cause any life-threatening complications, and emphasize the need for intensive monitoring and discuss the importance of species identification, knowledge of regional herpetofauna and treatment modalities including the need for a species-specific antivenin.

Chorioretinitis sclopetaria is a rare event with a poor visual prognosis, with less than a hundred cases reported worldwide. We report a case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with swelling and decreased vision in the left eye after an alleged fall. On examination, the affected eye showed periorbital ecchymosis, ptosis, subconjunctival haemorrhage, hyphema, and an afferent pupillary defect. A CT scan showed a foreign object lodged in the left orbit which was removed surgically. This case report intends to describe the rare occurrence of chorioretinitis sclopetaria in a child, wherein the history of gun pellet injury, elicited in retrospect, …

The Haunting Of Her House: How Virginia Law Punishes Women Who Become Mothers Through Rape, Jordan S. Miceli

Washington and Lee Law Review Online

If a rape victim becomes pregnant following the attack, she has three options: abort the pregnancy, place the child for adoption, or keep and raise the child. However, by requiring proof of conviction of rape to terminate the parental rights of the man who fathered that child through his rape, the Commonwealth of Virginia imposes a substantial burden on a victim weighing those options. To obtain a conviction under the current scheme, a victim, through her local prosecutor, has to prove to a jury that the accused committed the rape beyond a reasonable doubt. The Commonwealth requires proof of conviction …

Quantum Field Theories, Topological Materials, And Topological Quantum Computing, Muhammad Ilyas

Dissertations and Theses

A quantum computer can perform exponentially faster than its classical counterpart. It works on the principle of superposition. But due to the decoherence effect, the superposition of a quantum state gets destroyed by the interaction with the environment. It is a real challenge to completely isolate a quantum system to make it free of decoherence. This problem can be circumvented by the use of topological quantum phases of matter. These phases have quasiparticles excitations called anyons. The anyons are charge-flux composites and show exotic fractional statistics. When the order of exchange matters, then the anyons are called non-Abelian anyons. Majorana …

Virology: Mutagenizing The Proteolytic Cleavage Site In The Major Capsid Protein In Ssv1, Thejanee Liyanaarachchi

University Honors Theses

SSV1, spindle-shaped virus 1, is an archaeal virus with a unique shape that belongs to the family of fuselloviruses and infects hyperthermophilic archaea that thrive at 80°C and pH 3. SSV1 has two capsid proteins, VP1 and VP3, that presumably produce the lemon-shaped virion structure characteristic of fuselloviruses. The VP1 amino acid sequence is highly conserved among SSVs. Here, we investigate the importance of the proteolytic cleavage site in position E66 in VP1 by changing its glutamic acid to the other 19 amino acids. We have developed a new protocol for creating SSV1 mutants through HiFi Assembly (NEB) to increase …

An Investigation Into The Relationship Between Obstetric Racism And Postpartum Depression In Black Women, Miguel A. Claxton Iii

University Honors Theses

Postpartum depression is the most common postpartum mood disorder, with 13% of new mothers reporting symptoms within the first year. Adverse birth outcomes, such as low birth weight and preterm birth co-index with the development of postpartum depression. This correlation is particularly alarming considering that Black women have about a 60% higher rate of preterm birth and an 88% higher rate of low birth weight infants than Caucasian women. By utilizing theories of stratified reproduction, necropolitics, and obstetric racism, this paper aims to situate postpartum depression in Black women as a psychological response to systems of medicolegal control and domination. …

A Novel Approach For Microscale Dry Contact Stiction And Friction Assessment: Experimentation And Analysis, Bin Zhang, Reza Namakian, Xiaoman Zhang, W. J. Meng, Jennifer Hay, Kurt Johanns

Faculty Publications

Accurate and quantitative evaluation of friction is of fundamental interest for materials science and manufacturing. Driven by the trend towards miniaturization, micro metal forming techniques with characteristic forming dimensions approaching a few microns have developed rapidly over the past two decades. In contrast, the assessment of microscale friction is lagging. Here, we present a novel test, compression molding and demolding test (CMDT), to assess stiction and friction at the microscale. CMDT was conducted via in-situ instrumented molding and demolding of an Al specimen with cylindrical tool steel and Ti alloy punches. High-rate data acquisition enabled direct measurements, for the first …
