Smokeless Tobacco Use And Knowledge Among University Students, Angela Lou Monson, Jessica A. Beaulieu
Smokeless Tobacco Use And Knowledge Among University Students, Angela Lou Monson, Jessica A. Beaulieu
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
The authors explored the use, demographics, knowledge, and the impact of a statewide smoking ban on smokeless tobacco use among college students. Participants and Methods: During spring of 2008, 417 students enrolled at a Midwestern state university completed a 12-item survey. Results: Twenty-two percent of males in this sample have recently used smokeless tobacco. Participants had a mean knowledge score of 7.8, constructed from nine items on the survey. Non-users scored higher (p<.001) than users and females scored higher (p<.001) than males. Users (N=34) did not demonstrate a significant difference (p=.71) in use after the implementation of a statewide smoking ban. Conclusions:Knowledge does not appear to be the only factor influencing the use of smokeless tobacco. Additional research is needed to investigate other factors including the impact of a statewide smoking ban on smokeless tobacco use.

Case Study - Deep Cutaneous Mass Excision Reveals An Unusual Finding, Tony L. Weaver, Chad Mcdonald, Andrew Rosenthal
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Case presentation of a 62-year-old male who presented to the emergency department complaining of a mass in his right hand which began 14 days prior to evaluation. The mass was located in the proximity of the multiple neurovascular structures; therefore, surgical excision in the operating room was required. The patient’s pathological findings revealed a thick-walled, smooth surfaced cyst consistent with a bot fly larva (Dermatobia hominis) enclosed in an exoskeleton casing, rendering the diagnosis furuncular myiasis. Because areas of cutaneous myiasis are frequently misdiagnosed as pyogenic infection, it is important that the clinician maintains bot fly larvae in their differential …

At₁ Angiotensin Ii Receptor And Novel Non-At₁, Non-At₂ Angiotensin Ii/Iii Binding Site In Brainstem Cardiovascular Regulatory Centers Of The Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat, Erick A. Bourassa, Xiefan Fang, Xia Li, Alan F. Sved, Robert C. Speth
HPD Articles
Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) have an activated brain angiotensin system that contributes to the elevation of blood pressure in this animal model. Physiological and pharmacological studies suggest that hyperactivation of brain AT₁ angiotensin receptors is a major pathophysiological factor. Consistent with these observations, radioligand binding studies indicate widespread up-regulation of brain angiotensin receptors in SHR. One key brainstem site in which AT₁ receptor stimulation appears to contribute to the elevated blood pressure in SHR is the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). However, no quantitative comparison of AT₁ receptor binding in the RVLM has been made in SHR versus normotensive rats. A …
