The Health Status Of Southern Children: A Neglected Regional Disparity, Jeffrey Goldhagen, Radley Remo, Thomas Bryant, Peter Wludyka, Amy B. Dailey, David Wood, Graham Watts, William Livingood

Health Sciences Faculty Publications

Purpose: Great variations exist in child health outcomes among states in the United States, with southern states consistently ranked among the lowest in the country. Investigation of the geographical distribution of children’s health status and the regional factors contributing to these outcomes has been neglected. We attempted to identify the degree to which region of residence may be linked to health outcomes for children with the specific aim of determining whether living in the southern region of the United States is adversely associated with children’s health status.

Dental Hygiene Participation In Managing Incipient And Hidden Caries, Caren M. Barnes

College of Dentistry: Faculty Publications

The essence of dental hygiene practice includes the use of preventive and therapeutic methods for the promotion of good health and to prevent and control oral diseases. Dental hygienists actively promote the prevention of oral diseases through patient education that encourages self-care prevention of dental caries, supplemented by needs-related professional preventive services. Equally significant in the scope of dental hygiene practice are thorough oral examinations for disease detection. Although dental hygienists do not legally or definitively diagnose dental caries, they are responsible for detecting caries at all stages of the disease, recognizing caries risk factors, and planning management strategies. Because …

Changes In Pain Perception In Women During And Following An Exhaustive Incremental Cycling Exercise, Daniel G. Drury, Katelyn Greenwood, Kristin J. Stuempfle, Kelli F. Koltyn

Health Sciences Faculty Publications

Exercise has been found to alter pain sensitivity with a hypoalgesic response (i.e., diminished sensitivity to pain) typically reported during and/or following high intensity exercise. Most of this research, however, has involved the testing of men. Thus, the purpose of the following investigation was to examine changes in pain perception in women during and following exercise. Seventeen healthy female subjects (age 20.47±.87; VO2 peak 36.77± 4.95) volunteered to undergo pain assessment prior to, during, and after a graded exhaustive VO2 peak cycling challenge. Heart Rate (HR) and Oxygen Uptake (VO2) were monitored along with electro-diagnostic assessments of Pain Threshold (PT) …
