The Foundation, Education, And Practice Of Osteopathic Medicine, Anthony P. Salvador
Honors Theses
Osteopathic medicine has quickly grown into a successful and respectable branch of medical practice. It was created out of a necessity for change in the late 1800s, and continues to be a credible form of alternative medicine. After reviewing literary material, journal articles, and numerous osteopathic college sources it was seen that osteopathic medicine can be practiced in numerous settings and will become integral in the near future due to the shortage of physicians in the United States. Today, osteopaths work closely with all types of medical personal including medical doctors.

Cannabinoid Modulation Of Microglial Activation In Multiple Sclerosis, Natalie Shea Lemons
Honors Theses
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease that is estimated to affect 400,000 Americans. There is no cure for MS and some treatments at this point are toxic to patients. Dr. Lori Hensley's lab is researching two drugs that could potentially be used to treat MS without toxic effects. Previous work in the lab shows ajulemic acid, a synthetic molecule similar to metabolites from the cannabis plant, selectively suppresses markers of the inflammatory response. worked on the mechanism of ajulemic acid's action by investigating the roles of several candidate receptors in mediating these observed effects.

Resveratrol Modulation Of Microglial Activation And Provision For Neuroprotection In Multiple Sclerosis, Joseph L. Green
Honors Theses
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting over 2.5 million people worldwide. In MS, myelin sheaths surrounding the axons of neurons are attacked by the immune system, leading to many deleterious symptoms. No cure for MS has been found, but some treatments reducing the number of exacerbations are available. Studies on resveratrol show the compound to have anti-inflammatory properties that could be beneficial in the treatment of diseases like MS. In our research, we used a cellular model to imitate neurons of the central nervous system and tested the effects of resveratrol in the hope of finding neuroprotective properties.

The Starfish Principle: Drawing Purpose From South Africa's Aids Crisis, Lauren Vickroy
Honors Theses
I had come to South Africa in search of a group, organization, or person whose story I could bring back home and use to forge a connection between Americans and the seemingly incomprehensible, hopeless, and overwhelming situation faced by the people of South Africa from the AIDS epidemic.
