Inhibition Mechanisms Of Type 2 Diabetes, Jalise Maree Cotton
Inhibition Mechanisms Of Type 2 Diabetes, Jalise Maree Cotton
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is the most common form of diabetes mellitus which affects approximately 8.3% of the popula@on (diabetes.org 2013). T2D is most oDen brought on by reduced sensi@vity to insulin receptors. This is thought to be caused by a muta@on in the gene Insulin Receptor Substrate-‐ 1 (IRS-‐1). It is the suppression of IRS-‐1 that leads to inac@va@on of signaling molecules insulin signaling pathways causing insulin resistance (Victor D. H. et al). This literature review will focus on the major mechanisms of inhibi@on of the insulin signaling pathways.

Pillow Talk: The Epigenetic And Physiological Effects Of Sleep Deprivation, Jennifer D. Cotter

Circadian rhythms, or the 24-hour biological cycles of living cells, function as the body’s internal clock. Although circadian rhythms and sleep are very different processes, they are closely related to one another as these cycles play an important role in sleeping and waking patterns. Recent studies have shown that lack of sleep or sleep of poor quality can disrupt circadian rhythms and may actually cause cognitive disorders and memory loss, facilitate false memory production, and even alter gene expression in humans. This literature review is focused on identifying the epigenetic and physiological effects of disruptions and desynchronization in circadian rhythms …
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, Jacqueline Knowles
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, Jacqueline Knowles
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
The purpose of this project is to examine an exercise-‐based approach to rehabilitating an athlete with medial tibial stress syndrome. It presents specific exercises that can be used, and focuses on resolving the core of the problem instead of just addressing the symptom. This review attempts to provide a long-‐term solution rather than providing a quick fix.

Conservative Treatment Of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficiency, Brandan Holmquist
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
The purpose of this literature review is to present a simple protocol for the treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament deficiency for one plane athletes like some track athletes and baseball and softball designated players whom defer surgical intervention until after the season is completed.

• The implications of recent medical marijuana laws and their impact on youth are poorly understood. • New research has shown teen perceptions of marijuana’s harmfulness are at their lowest levels in 20 years. • It is unclear if these shifting perceptions will result in increased usage.

The purpose of this descriptive study is to gain a better understanding of the characteristics that can affect depression and overall compliance in prenatal care. Researchers anticipate that women’s involvement in the CARE Program will lead to a decrease in depression scores measured between the first and second trimester. The continued assessment and support provided by the CARE Coordinator is also expected to lead to fewer untreated cases of perinatal and postpartum depression.

Obesity Rates In Maine Exceed New England's Obesity Rate: A Look At Possible Contributing Factors, Susan Walker
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
The purpose of this study was to explore adult obesity data to: Compare Maine’s rates with other New England states and explore differences in Maine counties by looking at known risk factors.
Conservative Treatment For Meniscus Rehabilitation, Nicole Spencer, Julie Willis
Conservative Treatment For Meniscus Rehabilitation, Nicole Spencer, Julie Willis
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
The purpose of this review is to produce a nonsurgical treatment plan for meniscus injuries using therapeutic exercise, to eventually prepare the athlete for return to play after the sustained injury. Using therapeutic exercises, a rehabilitation program can be created for athletes who do not wish to pursue surgery. The treatment plan was designed for a soccer player who had a partially torn meniscus.
How Spinocerebellar Ataxia Affects The Body And The Family, Anthony Simpson
How Spinocerebellar Ataxia Affects The Body And The Family, Anthony Simpson
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
This poster project is a literature review that examines the causes, effects, and research being done to treat and prevent some forms of Ataxia. Ataxia is a disorder of the nervous system that causes tremors, and problems with walking, balance, memory, and mood disorders. There are many forms of Ataxia, all affecting various genes, but all have the devastating effect of the loss of the ability to move around without aid. Mental ability is not affected, yet the patient loses the ability to control their body. Most forms are caused by genetic mutations. For example, Fragile X associated tremor/ataxia syndrome …
A Difference In Aerobic And Anaerobic Energy Costs During Weightlifting, Sarah Shapiro, Deline Dwelly
A Difference In Aerobic And Anaerobic Energy Costs During Weightlifting, Sarah Shapiro, Deline Dwelly
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
Energy expenditure is usually estimated by total oxygen uptake. However, with weightlifting, very little oxygen is utilized during the lift. The majority of oxygen uptake happens during recovery (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption, EPOC). The purpose of this study is to determine the significance of the anaerobic and EPOC phases during weightlifting exercises in estimation of total energy cost. We gathered data from 42 subjects (60 averaged trials) aging between 18 and 35 years. Each subject chose a comfortable weight and lifted to a cadence of 1.5 sec up and 1.5 sec down. Tests were given on two different occasions. We …

Habilitation Training Curriculum: Is It Useful?, Ryan K. Cole, Christine Wyman
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting approximately five million Americans. Paul Raia, PhD, Vice President, Clinical Services at the Alzheimer’s Association, MA/NH Chapters, developed a training curriculum called Caring for People with Alzheimer’s Disease: A Habilitation Training Curriculum. The Alzheimer’s Association’s Maine Chapter has been implementing this training in care facilities across Maine. The purpose of this project was to evaluate if this training is perceived as useful in direct care settings.A secondary goal of the project was to determine if this training should be adapted for use in other settings in which professionals of varying …
