Holistic Medicine: The Journey To Health, Molly J. Lahn Jan 1995

Holistic Medicine: The Journey To Health, Molly J. Lahn

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

What I thought was to be a study of "alternative medicine" turned out to be an amazing discovery of not only a way of healing, but a way of life. My work is based on personal experience and supported by literature and the instruction of mentors. Over the span of a year, my experience has included three Healing Touch classes with independent practice and a nine-week class/support group for those with life-threatening illness and their caregivers. I also volunteered at a pain and stress management program at Glenwood Rehabilitation (autogenics/self- regulation training), the St. Cloud Pain Management Center (cranio-sacral therapy), …

Prevalence And Disability Outcome Of Secondary Conditions Experienced By Adults With Disabilities Living In A Rural State: Validation Of A Surveillance Instrument, Tom Seekins Ph.D., Craig Ravesloot Ph.D., Kaye Norris Ph.D., University Of Montana Rural Institute Jan 1995

Prevalence And Disability Outcome Of Secondary Conditions Experienced By Adults With Disabilities Living In A Rural State: Validation Of A Surveillance Instrument, Tom Seekins Ph.D., Craig Ravesloot Ph.D., Kaye Norris Ph.D., University Of Montana Rural Institute

Health and Wellness

Objectives. People with disabilities can lead healthy lives but may be at risk for secondary conditions. This study investigated prevalence rates and disability outcome of secondary conditions using the Secondary Conditions Surveillance Instrument (SCSI). The reliability and validity of the SCSI for measuring self-reported limitation due to secondary conditions was also investigated. Methods. Three-hundred-fifty-four handicapped parking permit holders and 22 non-disabled undergraduate students completed the SCSI. Eighteen people with spinal cords injuries completed the SCSI twice approximately 3 years apart. Results. Respondents reported experiencing an average of 14 secondary conditions during the past year with 73% experiencing more than 10 …

Differential Modulation Of Human Glutamate Transporter Subtypes By Arachidonic Acid, Noa Zerangue, Jeffrey L. Arriza, Susan G. Amara, Michael Kavanaugh Jan 1995

Differential Modulation Of Human Glutamate Transporter Subtypes By Arachidonic Acid, Noa Zerangue, Jeffrey L. Arriza, Susan G. Amara, Michael Kavanaugh

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

Arachidonic acid has been proposed to be a messenger molecule released following synaptic activation of glutamate receptors and during ischemia. Here we demonstrate that micromolar levels of arachidonic acid inhibit glutamate uptake mediated by EAAT1, a human excitatory amino acid transporter widely expressed in brain and cerebellum, by reducing the maximal transport rate approximately 30%. In contrast, arachidonic acid increased transport mediated by EAAT2, a subtype abundantly expressed in forebrain and midbrain, by causing the apparent affinity for glutamate to increase more than 2-fold. The results demonstrate that the response of different glutamate transporter subtypes to arachidonic acid could influence …

A Family Of Putative Receptor-Adenylate Cyclases From Leishmania Donovani, Marco A. Sanchez, David Zeoli, Elizabeth M. Klamo, Michael Kavanaugh, Scott M. Landfear Jan 1995

A Family Of Putative Receptor-Adenylate Cyclases From Leishmania Donovani, Marco A. Sanchez, David Zeoli, Elizabeth M. Klamo, Michael Kavanaugh, Scott M. Landfear

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

Leishmania parasites are exposed to pronounced changes in their environment during their life cycle as they migrate from the sandfly midgut to the insect proboscis and then into the phagolysosomes of the vertebrate macrophages. The developmental transformations that produce each life cycle stage of the parasite may be signaled in part by binding of environmental ligands to receptors which mediate transduction of extracellular signals. We have identified a family of five clustered genes in Leishmania donovani which may encode signal transduction receptors. The coding regions of two of these genes, designated rac-A and rac-B, have been sequenced and shown …

Constitutive Ion Fluxes And Substrate Binding Domains Of Human Glutamate Transporters, Robert J. Vandenberg, Jeffrey L. Arriza, Susan G. Amara, Michael Kavanaugh Jan 1995

Constitutive Ion Fluxes And Substrate Binding Domains Of Human Glutamate Transporters, Robert J. Vandenberg, Jeffrey L. Arriza, Susan G. Amara, Michael Kavanaugh

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

Application of L-glutamate activates ionic currents in voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes expressing cloned human excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs). However, even in the absence of L-glutamate, the membrane conductance of oocytes expressing EAAT1 was significantly increased relative to oocytes expressing EAAT2 or control oocytes. Whereas transport mediated by EAAT2 is blocked by the non-transported competitive glutamate analog kainate (K = 14 μM), EAAT1 is relatively insensitive (K > 3 mM). Substitution of a block of 76 residues from EAAT2 into EAAT1, in which 18 residues varied from EAAT1, conferred high affinity kainate binding to EAAT1, and application of kainate to …
