Post-pandemic, some educators are trying to reengage students with technology – like videos, computer gaming or artificial intelligence, just to name a few. But integrating these approaches in the classroom can be an uphill...
We provide traces for coHochschild homology, dualizing the Hattori-Stallings trace. Considering the trace of the identity, we define traces between coHochschild homology and certain K-theories of coalgebras. We employ...
Many triggers for shame that lead to physician burnout occur during patient care or the medical learning environment. Many resilience programs are available to medical students and physicians, yet incorporate non-faith...
Background
Metastatic melanoma (MM) is refractory to treatment, and patients with MM have a median survival of 6 months. A donor in the anatomy laboratory was reported to have MM as the cause of death. However, the findings...
The internal jugular veins (IJV) are the primary venous outflow channels of the head and neck. The IJV is of clinical interest since it is often used for central venous access. This literature aims at presenting an overview of...
Macrophages serve as a first line of defense against microbial pathogens. Exposure to interferon-γ (IFNγ) increases interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression in these cells, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial and...
Dorsal markings are common, and can function in predator evasion, as sexual signals, or be the remnants of developmental or physiological processes. We used phylogenetic comparative analyses to test whether black dorsal...
Animals evolve in complex selective regimes, where a suite of different factors can shape signal use. We might predict that more closely related species will exhibit more similar behavior than those more distantly related;...
This article reviews recent progress in the design and theoretical investigation of molecular implementations of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) for field-coupled nanocomputing applications. QCA is a classical computing...
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to the swift development of multiple vaccinations. Vaccine side effects were well-documented in the healthy adult cohort and included fever and lymphadenopathy, however, side...
Diabetes results from insufficient insulin production by pancreatic islet β-cells or a loss of β-cells themselves. Restoration of regulated insulin production is a predominant goal of translational diabetes research. Here, we...
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can impede physical function and mobility. Current management often involves pain medication, but there is a need for non-pharmacological and non-invasive...
Lipid metabolism affects cell and physiological functions that mediate animal healthspan and lifespan. Lipidomics approaches in model organisms have allowed us to better understand changes in lipid composition related to age...
Ceramide glucosyltransferase (CGT) adds sugar moieties to ceramide, forming glucosylceramides that play roles in immune signaling, stress response, and host-bacterial interactions. Here, we examined whether mutations in cgt...
Anesthesia providers who give spinal anesthetics in obstetric anesthesia commonly witness spinal induced hypotension (SIH) in patients due to the sympathetic blockade after injection. This DNP project evaluated Indiana...
<b>Objective</b>: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is utilized to predict cardiovascular risk. CIMT uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of the two innermost layers of the carotid artery. Increased plaque in the...
Marian University utilizes a student-led mentorship program to assist fellow graduate students of Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) Nurse Anesthesia Program (NAP). Marian’s NAP accreditor, The Council of Accreditation of...
<b>Background and Review of Literature</b>: This study examined individual opinions from healthcare providers in Indiana about their willingness to prescribe Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for Human Immunodeficiency Virus...
<b>Background and Review of Literature</b>: Caesarean sections are one of the most performed procedures in the operating room. Managing pain for these patients is vital to ensure a positive birthing experience for mothers and...
