Postpartum preeclampsia refers to hypertension and proteinuria after delivery, and the occurrence of a seizure within six weeks after delivery is called postpartum eclampsia. Etiology is unknown but theorized to involve...
Students frequently report difficulty learning information presented at the end of long study sequences. Prior research has shown that information presented earlier in a study sequence interferes with learning of information...
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition characterized by a deficiency in insulin due to the destruction of pancreatic β-cells. This leads to elevated blood glucose levels. The primary treatment involves daily administration...
Given disparities in medical and educational services, our study aimed to compare the current school supports in place and recommended supports for students with SCD (sickle cell disease) and CF (cystic fibrosis).
The design, administration, input, and evolution of an epigenetic database containing metadata across studies was created using cloud based tools with permission and blinding capacities. The database was designed to store the...
Bitter melon extract (BME) is known to inhibit breast cancer cells (MCF-7) proliferation. Due to the high metabolic rate of cancer cells, we hypothesized that low glucose levels are detrimental to cell survivability and that...
Bristles are mechanosensory organs in the Drosophila peripheral nervous system composed of four cells that adopt different fates and differentiate. These four cells (neuron, shaft, sheath, and socket) arise from a sensory organ...
30 cm from heart level; CVAR), venoarteriolar response plus a decrease in perfusion pressure (venous occlusion by proximal cuff inflation; CVAR with DPP), and ischemia (arterial occlusion by proximal cuff inflation) and sweat...
1.0°C. Arm and leg SkBF (laser-Doppler flowmetry) was decreased by engaging the venoarteriolar response (limb lowered ~30 cm from heart level; CVAR), venoarteriolar response plus a decrease in perfusion pressure (venous...
Context: Children with SMA suffer from scoliosis, global weakness, and Thoracic Insufficiency (TIS). Normalized pulmonary function tests are inadequate when evaluating these patients for improvement in PFTs. Objective: Forced...
Introduction: In 2012, approximately 19 million adults in the U.S. used some form of manipulative treatment as part of their overall healthcare. Suboccipital release (SOR) is a commonly used manual medicine technique of the...
Context: Skeletal muscle is essential for proper bodily functions by playing key roles in strength and movement, and it accounts for roughly 50% of our total body mass. Decreases in total muscle mass or mass-specific function...

1.5 million reported traumatic brain injuries (TBI) per year with varying degrees of severity that inflict injury at the cellular level. The Choroid Plexus (CP) plays a significant role in brain homeostasis. The CP has also...
Context: This research may provide insight into human articular cartilage development, repair mechanisms, and diseases such as arthritis. Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the proximal femur articular cartilage...
30-60 min. Changes in SkBF spectral power in VLF and LF ranges from baseline to heating were determined using fast-Fourrier transform. Both groups increased spectral power within both the VLF and LF ranges. Compared to healthy...
• Traditional medical education typically consists of two years of didactic, lecture-based education {Years 1 and 2), as well as two years of clinical clerkships and patient interactions {Years 3 and 4)
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mineral density due to the rate of bone resorption exceeding that of bone formation. Substantial evidence indicates the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) pathway promotes bone...
Osteoporosis is a disease that results from changes in bone mineral density (BMD). In the United States, over 10 million people have low BMD and have an increased risk for fractures, hospitalization and mortality. BMD is the...
Osteoporosis is a disease of decreased bone density that occurs when bone resorption exceeds bone formation, thereby placing individuals at greater risk of fracture and disability. We previously reported that deletion of the...
