Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Review of the Literature
(2013)The rise in obesity rates both in the United States and worldwide has lead to an increase in prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is diabetes with onset during pregnancy. While changes in maternal ... -
The Physical Effects of Hippotherapy on Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy
(2013)Many scientists in the medical field are searching for alternate treatments in multiple fields, including physical therapy. An increasing number of people are pursuing alternate methods of healing and rehabilitation for ... -
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: Benefits of a New Technology in Dental Imaging
(2013)Cone-beam computed tomography is a dental imaging system that was introduced in the early 2000s. Its advanced technology and recent development has caused it to become increasingly popular over the last few years. The new ... -
The Relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease.
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between diabetes mellitus and the severity of periodontal disease. Specifically, the goal was to be able to prevent and treat periodontal disease in diabetic ... -
Partial Purification and Characterization of Host Cell Proteases in the SF-9 Insect Cell Line
(1994)The SF-9 cell line, like many other cell lines, is used by many industrial and academic laboratories for the expression of recombinant proteins. The SF-9 cell line was cloned by G.E. Smith and C.L. Cherry in 1983 from ... -
Kupffer Cells and PMNs as Cellular Sources That Contribute to Organ Damage During Endotoxin-Enhanced Hepatic IschemiaReferfusion Injury
(1994)Periods of hepatic ischemia (I) followed by reperfusion (RP) have been demonstrated to produce severe injury which can act as a priming event when combined with a secondary insult such as sepsis, to potentiate more severe ... -
Cecal Permeability of Salicylic Acid, Halofuginone, and Paraherquamide in the 7-14 Day Old Chicken
(1994)There is a great need for new drugs, with new modes of action to combat coccidiosis-a condition caused by infection of the intestinal tract of livestock by protozoa parasites of the genus Eimeria. However, during the ... -
Determination of Ventronectin Binding Sites in Non-Catheter and Catheter-Infection Associated Strains of Staphylococcus Epidermis
(1993)Catheter infections are caused by polymicrobial colonies of coagulase-negative staphylococci with Staphylococcus epidermis representing the primary bacteria involved. Staphylococcus epidermis is a part of the normal skin ... -
Comparison of Noninvasive Testing Modalities in the Assessment of Peripheral Arterial Hemodynamics Following Vascular Interventional Procedures
(1991)Vascular medicine and surgery have recently seen the development of new noninvasive diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques. A magnetic resonance blood flowmeter (MRF) has been developed to quantitate ... -
Localization of Regurgitant Common Atrioventricular Valve Commissures in Atrioventricular Septal Defects Using Color Flow Doppler Echocardiography
(1992)The commissures of the five-leaflet common atrioventricular (A V) valve characteristic of the atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) can be seen en face using a subcostal 2-dimensional echocardiographic imaging plane. If ... -
The Role of Opioid Receptor Antagonists on Acute Mesenteric Small Bowel Ischemia in the Rat: The Comparative Effects of (-)-Naloxone and Nalmefene
(1991)The effects of two opioid receptor antagonists, (-)-naloxone and nalmefene, were studied on acute mesenteric small bowel ischemia in the rat. In previous studies, (-)-naloxone has been shown to increase the survival ... -
The Effects of Milk Components on the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Bovine Mastitis Pathogens
(1993)This experiment investigated the effects of milk components on the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antimicrobial commonly used to treat bovine mastitis. The procedure for this experiment involved the use of ... -
The Effects of Ketamine-Xylazine Pentobarbital Halothane and Soflurane Anesthesia on the Reduction of Infarct Size with Preconditioning
(1993)This investigation sought to determine whether anesthesia had an effect on myocardial area at risk and infarct size during experimental myocardial preconditioning. Four anesthetic regimens, ketamine plus xylazine, ... -
A Study of Polarized Peptide Transporters in Caco-2 Cells : Characterization of AcPhe2 (NMePhe) NH2 and AcPhe (NMePhe)2 NH2
(1994)Improved drug delivery through rational drug design has been a major focus of pharmaceutical research in recent years. A major approach to this outcome has been the critical analysis of membrane transport and the processes ... -
The Intestinal Permeability Studies of Three Non-Peptidic HIV Protease Inhibitors
(1994)The nonpeptidic HIV protease inhibitors represent a novel approach of combating the virus associated with AIDS. While peptidic HIV protease inhibitors have been characterized by low intestinal bioavailability due to transport ... -
Disinhibition of GABA Neurons in the Dorsomedial Hypothalmus by Microinjection of BMI Stimulates Cardiovascular and Gastric Motor Function in Rats
(1994)The purpose of the present study was to investigate if the blockade of GABA receptors in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMB) of rats produces gastrointestinal changes that resemble stress responses. To test this hypothesis, ... -
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 DNA Cleavage Requires the Product of the UL28 Gene : Isolution and Partial Characterization of Two UL28 Insertion Mutants
(1995)The UL28 gene in Herpes simplex virus (Type 1) encodes the protein ICP18.5 which has been shown to be required for the cleavage and encapsidation of viral DNA (C. Addison, F. Rixon, and V. Preston, J. Gen. Virol. 71: ...
