Delay Discounting Of Pregnancy- And Condom-Protected Sex Among Methadone-Maintained Women, Dennis J. Hand, Phd, Lindsay Reid, Diane J. Abatemarco, Msw, Phd

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Presentations and Grand Rounds

Introduction

• Over 80% of pregnancies are unintended among women with opioid use disorder (OUD; Heil et al., 2011).
• Use of effective contraception is uncommon in this population (Terplan et al., 2015).
• Initiating and using effective contraception involves delays: to obtain the method from a provider, to become protected after initiating use.
• Interventions that include delay reductions among other elements have increased contraceptive use (Heil et al., 2016; Secura et al., 2014).
• Women with OUD have reported greater likelihood of engaging in unprotected sex at shorter delays to acquiring protection from sexually-transmitted infection (STI) than women without OUD (Herrmann et al., …

Emerging Infectious Diseases: Global To Local Implications, Mary Lou Manning, Phd, Crnp, Cic, Faan

Department of Nursing Papers

Infectious disease remains among the leading causes of death worldwide. With easy mobility and air travel, pathogens can move quickly and silently to any place around the globe in a matter of days. The recent Ebola crises in West Africa clearly demonstrated the increased risk of emerging infections in our highly connected world. Legal nurse consultants are well-positioned to provide guidance on deciphering public health laws relevant to responding to infectious disease threats.

Are Researchers Registering Systematic Reviews In Clinicaltrials.Gov?, Gary E. Kaplan, Ms, Ahip

Academic Commons and Scott Memorial Library Staff Papers and Presentations

BACKGROUND:

ClinicalTrials.gov (CT) is an increasingly important resource for systematic reviewers attempting to identify published and unpublished clinical studies. In addition to clinical studies, however, some searches of the CT database also return systematic reviews (SRs). When I inquired about the SRs appearing in the results, the NLM Help Desk responded that “We do not recommend that systematic reviews be entered in ClinicalTrials.gov, since we only want the results of a clinical trial entered once. However, we will not refuse them if they are entered.” I wanted to find out how many SRs are included, describe their characteristics, and suggest …

A bibliographic record on the history of dermatology has been a project that started over 4 decades ago. It is a collection of all forms of history, ranging from dermatologic conditions, to famous dermatologists and physicians who have advanced the field of both dermatology and medicine, to the different countries that promoted the development of scientists, researchers and physicians alike.

It was decided that the bibliographic record would encompass journals, books and a compilation of obituaries. A pertinent question is whether a manually created bibliographic project is still warranted in the 21^st century. In short, yes. While Index …

The Structure And Regulation Of Cullin 2 Based E3 Ubiquitin Ligases And Their Biological Functions., Weijia Cai, Haifeng Yang

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes play a central role in targeting cellular proteins for ubiquitination-dependent protein turnover through 26S proteasome. Cullin-2 is a member of the Cullin family, and it serves as a scaffold protein for Elongin B and C, Rbx1 and various substrate recognition receptors to form E3 ubiquitin ligases.

MAIN BODY OF THE ABSTRACT: First, the composition, structure and the regulation of Cullin-2 based E3 ubiquitin ligases were introduced. Then the targets, the biological functions of complexes that use VHL, Lrr-1, Fem1b, Prame, Zyg-11, BAF250, Rack1 as substrate targeting subunits were described, and their involvement in diseases …
