Health Care Crisis: Potential Solutions To The Perverse Reimbursement System And The Fragmented Care Delivery System, Britney Ryan
Health Care Crisis: Potential Solutions To The Perverse Reimbursement System And The Fragmented Care Delivery System, Britney Ryan
Senior Theses and Projects
The American health care system is in a serious crisis. We have very high health care expenditures, but receive very low quality health outcomes. It is time for America to address the problems of our health care system head on, starting with the fee-for-service reimbursement structure and the fragmented care delivery system. This paper provides a comparative analysis of the systems in place in France and Japan to draw conclusions about possible solutions for the United States. This paper also discusses successful health care institutions within America and why they work. Finally, the potential results of the Affordable Care Act …
Development Of A Rapid Spme/Gc-Ms Method For The Detection And Quantification Of Synthetic Cathinones In Oral Fluid, David Correll
Development Of A Rapid Spme/Gc-Ms Method For The Detection And Quantification Of Synthetic Cathinones In Oral Fluid, David Correll
Senior Theses and Projects
The recent emergence and widespread abuse of new classes of compounds on the designer drug market as “legal” alternatives to scheduled drugs such as Ecstasy has prompted interest in the development of analytical methods for their detection and characterization. Synthetic cathinones, which are structurally similar to amphetamines, are commonly advertised as a “legal highs” or “herbal highs,” and are marketed under names such as “bath salts” and “plant food.” To avoid drug abuse legislation, a “not for human consumption” warning is typically printed on the label. Their ready availability on the Internet and in “head” shops, convenience stores, and even …
The Spirituality Of Food And Nutrition: A Critique Of The United States' Food Practices Through An Analysis Of Three Asian Religions And Philosophies, Kiley G. Hagerty
The Spirituality Of Food And Nutrition: A Critique Of The United States' Food Practices Through An Analysis Of Three Asian Religions And Philosophies, Kiley G. Hagerty
Senior Theses and Projects
There is no question that the United States is a country that is currently faced with serious health epidemics, such as hypertension and diabetes, associated with being overweight and obese. It has been the assumption of the government and the public that the large food corporations are to blame for the country’s poor health. However, it is too simplistic to believe that tighter regulations upon corporations would alone lead to improved health. There needs to be a change at the individual level, and of the practices of most of the country’s citizens. Through an analysis of three Asian religions (Hindu …
Determination Of Catecholamine Content Changes In Mouse Brain Following Chronic Ketogenic Diet, Ryan Adams
Determination Of Catecholamine Content Changes In Mouse Brain Following Chronic Ketogenic Diet, Ryan Adams
Senior Theses and Projects
This work investigated the effects of the ketogenic diet on catecholamine concentrations in the brains of mice. The ketogenic diet has been show to modulate the catecholamine concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of children as well as altering hippocampal norepinephrine levels in mice. Tissue homogenates of the motor cortex, somatosensory cortex, nucleus accumbens, anterior caudate, posterior caudate and midbrain regions were analyzed using high pressure liquid chromatography to quantitate norepinephrine, dopamine, 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA), homovanillic acid (HVA) and serotonin (5-HT). No significant differences in catecholamine concentration levels were detected in the tissue homogenates. Analysis of metabolite …
