Introduction: Bitter melon extract (BME) is known to inhibit breast cancer cells (MCF-7) proliferation. The PKC and ROK play critical roles in cell division, migration, and survival. However, the roles of protein kinase-c (PKC)...
In humans, skin blood flow (SkBF) and sweating are tightly coupled, suggesting common neural control and regulation. This study was designed to separate these two sympathetic nervous system end-organ responses via...
Human skin blood flow (SkBF) and sweating increase similarly during increases in skin sympathetic nerve activity, implicating common control and regulation. Previous studies have blocked sweating without affecting SkBF, but few...
Context: Indwelling Urinary Catheterization (IUC) is among the most common procedures performed in the inpatient setting. Because there are risks associated with IUC, efforts to reduce its use when unnecessary should be made....
Introduction: It is well documented in the literature that Bitter Melon Extract (BME) inhibits the growth and proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. While the exact mechanism of this inhibition is unknown, it is possible...
Context: Patients with large staghorn calculi are commonly treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL access can be technically challenging and has potential to result in significant radiation exposure to both the...
Context: It is important for colleges of osteopathic medicine (COMs) to provide opportunities for osteopathic medical students (OMSs) to conduct research under the guidance of professional researchers. However, COMs...
Introduction: OPTIMISTIC is a project funded by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) that is aimed, in part, at the reduction of unnecessary hospitalization of nursing facility residents. Data from the initial...
