Enzymatic hydrolysis of glutamine and glutathione by glutaminase
Creators: name: Watson, Eloise Jean
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Enzymatic Hydrolysis

description: (1) Data identify the enzyme responsible for the first step in the hydrolysis of glutathione, the cleavage of the gamma glutamyl bond, as the same enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamic acid and ammonia is reported here.  (2)  Activation studies have suggested the role glutathione perhaps plays in the glutamine-glutaminase system.  The Activation of glutaminase by trace amounts of ammonium ions in the hydrolysis of glutathione suggest that the body utilized the first step in the hydrolysis of this tripeptide to assure a constant supply of glutamine to the enzyme glutamines for the formation of urinary ammonia.  (3)  Inhibition studies have been described which make possible the assumption that another role of glutathione in the body is that a transport mechanism by which certain materials are carried to the kidney for excretion.  (4)  Studies of the physical properties of glutaminase have suggested that the glutaminase molecule represents a cation exchange resin within the tubules of the kidney.  The ion studies described here have shown that glutaminase is influenced by the ionized material of the glomerular filtrate in two ways:  at concentrations in which these ions are normally present in the blood, they activate the enzyme, but in higher concentrations these ions are inhibitory.  These observations have been extended to form the basis of a theory explaing the mechanism by which the processes of reabsorption and secreation are carried out by  the tubules of the kidney nephron.

Will teaching focused medical Spanish phrases to anesthesia providers improve communication abilities with Spanish speaking intubated patients?
Creators: name: Nawracaj, Maciej

description: Purpose of Project: Communication is an essential aspect between providers and patients in the healthcare setting. Adequate communication can help attenuate potential risks posed to patients as a result of the ineffective transfer of information. The potential for patient safety compromise is increased in situations that present barriers to communication, regardless of the healthcare setting (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ], 2012). Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients are subjected to increased safety risks resulting from ineffective communication with their providers (The Joint Commission [JCAHO], 2015). It is imperative in the healthcare setting to develop methods of communication that can reduce the potential safety risks to patients. It is equally important to increase provider confidence in their abilities to successfully communicate. Methodology: Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (SRNAs), attending Rutgers University, partook in a study that involved educating them on medical Spanish phrases focused on assessing LEP patients emerging from anesthesia via interactive e-Learning modules with audio-visual features as the intervention. Data was gathered from 44 SRNAs in their third-year or second-year student cohorts to analyze self-efficacy in communication abilities with LEP Spanish speaking intubated patients encountered in the operating room. Prior to the intervention, a written pre-test was administered to gather baseline data. After the intervention, a written post-test was administered for comparative analysis. Thereafter, a 30-day post-intervention provider self-efficacy survey via a questionnaire produced data on perceived experiences, and self-efficacy as a result of utilizing learned course content. Results: Scores were averaged from pre-tests (38.24%) and post-tests (85.52%). There was a 47.3% improvement following the intervention (e-Learning course). 30-day post-intervention provider self-efficacy survey results in communicating with LEP patients yielded a positive correlation identified between the e-Learning course & enhancement in provider self-efficacy. Implications for Practice: It is perceived that improving provider communication abilities with respect to the emergence of an intubated LEP patient will allow for an increase in efficiency of care delivered, will promote safe extubation, and will enhance both provider and patient satisfaction during interactions. As communication barriers are overcome through enhanced provider communication, thereby attenuating negative patient outcomes, it is perceived that cost reductions of care are likely as communication barrier associated adverse events decrease.

Discharge problems of long-term hospitalized psychiatric patients
Creators: name: Holland, Ruth Barrus
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Utah State Hospital
Mentally Ill

description: This was a descriptive study of discharge problems identified by long-term hospitalized psychiatric patients. Thirty adult patients from Utah State Hospital participated in this study from September 12, 1968, to January l6, 1969. The sample was not intended to be representative of the patient population.  The method of collecting data was two structured interviews, one before discharge and one a month after discharge.  Actual discharge problems were identified in the postdischarge interview.  The results of the study contribute to knowledge needed by a psychiatric nurse as she prepares a patient for discharge and assists him with his problems of adjustment in the community.  Forty-three percent of the patients identified personal problems having to do mainly with their own feelings and behavior and physical symptoms.  Twenty-seven percent of the patients identified family problems having to do with marital partners, children, and other family members.  Twenty percent had problems with the environment, here defined as nonfamily social environment, having to do with roommates, co-workers, and friends.  Twenty percent had problems with employment of either a gainful nature or the expected functions of a housewife.  Twenty percent had financial problems which were mainly monetary and only minimally related to employment.  No correlation was found between patient characteristics and the ability to predict the numbers of problems at discharge.  This emphasizes the necessity for considering each patient individually.  There was significant difference in the patients' appraisals of the importance of anticipated and actual family problems.  This contributes to knowledge of how discharged patients in general view this category of problems.  There was a tendency of patients to underestimate the number of personal problems and overestimate the number of other problems.  This tendency contributes also to general knowledge of discharged patients.  By exploring some of the difficulties of obtaining information, this study reiterates the necessity for obtaining knowledge of a particular agency's administrative structure and operating procedures in order to achieve a smooth and satisfactory working relationship.  Although it was not the study's objective to explore the need for after care, the researcher's general impression was that discharged patients wanted the continued attention of professional personnel and benefited when this attention was given.
Emerging from entrepreneurial failure: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of entrepreneurs’ post-failure career choice
Creators: name: Rezvani, Nikan
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Entrepreneurs contribute to economic growth and job creation by forming new ventures. However, not every entrepreneur succeeds. Failure is inseparable from entrepreneurship due to the uncertainties of new venture creation. Despite failure being an unpleasant and often dramatic experience, only some entrepreneurs exit after failure while others reenter and start another venture. While the literature is rich in explaining the advantages and disadvantages of failure for the individuals, previous studies did not investigate why some entrepreneurs leave entrepreneurship while others start again. This interpretative phenomenological analysis investigates entrepreneurs’ journeys after failure and explores how entrepreneurs choose their post-failure career. The thesis findings identified exit, reentry, and hybrid reentry as the three career paths post-failure, and presents a model that explains entrepreneurs’ post-failure career choice based on their motivation, threshold for acceptable losses, and learnings from failure. This thesis contributes to the literature in five ways. First, this thesis makes an important contribution to the scarce literature on entrepreneurial post-failure career choice by developing a model that explains and predicts post-failure career choice. Second, while literature has already identified intrinsic motivation from cognitive evaluation theory as a factor to encourage reentry, this thesis introduces self-determination theory as a more advanced theory of motivation into entrepreneurial failure research and explains how autonomous and controlled motivations influence reentry and exit. Third, the findings enrich entrepreneurial learning theory by unpacking the role of learning on reentry. Fourth, drawing upon the concept of acceptable losses, this study fills the literature gap on the impact of financial cost of failure on reentry. Finally, while hybrid entrepreneurship has been identified as an entry pathway into entrepreneurship, it has thus far not been recognised as a reentry path as identified in this research.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Purpose: Maintaining self-confidence for an emergency department (ED) nurse can be challenging when performing low frequency high acuity clinical skills. A lack of continuous education to maintain skill retention for infrequently performed ED nursing skills can lead to a decrease in nursing self-confidence. Methodology: A convenience sample of ED nurses at a Magnet designated facility in Bergen county New Jersey was used to implement a pilot project using a video educational module to increase ED nursing confidence. Participants were evaluated on their level of self-confidence before and after the use of the video module. Results: It was discovered the participants had an increase of self-confidence when executing infrequently performed ED nursing skills. A paired t-test conducted between the pre- and post-test score provided a statistically significant p value of < .005. Implications for Practice: Developing and sustaining ED nursing self-confidence is essential for providing quality, safe, and effective patient care. This can be achieved using video technology through a step-by-step video instruction of infrequently performed clinical skills.Keywords: Emergency nursing education, technology education, e-based learning, and nursing confidence.

description: The purpose of this thesis was to design and construct a radio frequency (RF) coil array for imaging the optic nerve on a 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The goal of the work was to increase signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from the eye orbits to the optic chiasm, compared to the SNR of a clinical 12-channel coil design used at our institution for imaging the optic nerve. The coil utilized a mask fiberglass former that allowed a good fit to many different head sizes. The new coil design used 20 channels arranged in a RF coil array,  with coils positioned for optimal signal sensitivity along the length of the optic nerve. The 20-channel and commercially available coils were compared with  one another based on the achievable SNR along the optic nerve pathway and on their parallel imaging capability. The Optic Nerve Coil provided 35% greater  SNR at the optic chiasm and ~300% near the orbit compared with the 12-channel commercial coil. The improved signal-to-noise ratio allowed for higher resolution diffusion tensor imaging, and the increased number of channels and their associated positions allowed for improved parallel imaging capability relative to the current 12-channel commercial coil. Patient images showed plaques in the images that correlated well with patient histories of bilateral and unilateral optic  nerve disease. The new 20-channel coil has increased the diagnostic power of MRI for optic neuritis imaging.

description: A repair technique for damaged precast reinforced concrete bridge column to pier cap joints constructed with grouted splice sleeve connections has been developed using plastic hinge relocation. Undamaged column to pier cap specimens constructed with grouted splice sleeve connections were tested to failure using quasi-static cyclic loads applied in the horizontal direction at the top of the column. The column's plastic hinge region was subsequently repaired using prefabricated carbon fiber-reinforced polymer shells, epoxy anchored headed mild steel bars, and nonshrink or expansive concrete to increase the moment of inertia at the column base and relocate the plastic hinge in the column to a region with minor damage. Follow up quasi-static cyclic tests of the repaired specimens were performed to verify the effectiveness of the repair technique. Analytical strut and tie models of both the original and repaired specimens were developed and verified using the test results. In addition to destructive tests, acoustic emission monitoring of grouted splice sleeves, the original specimens, and the repaired specimens were performed to correlate acoustic emissions to damage. To obtain an appropriate damage assessment of grouted splice sleeve connections using acoustic emissions monitoring, the acoustic emission characteristics of two different grouted splice sleeve systems were obtained by performing tension tests of the sleeves to failure. The acoustic emission monitoring system was then implemented on the original and repaired specimens to demonstrate the effectiveness of relating acoustic emissions to damage.

description: The growth of production from liquid shale plays has been phenomenal. However, the recoveries are low of the order of 10% and more efficient methods of producing liquids are necessary. This research is aimed at understanding production performances involving complex interaction between phase behavior and flow in unconventional reservoirs like shales. A new rapid semianalytical forecast tool for transient state linear flow in ultralow permeability (100 nD to 5000 nD) fractured reservoir was developed. The tool is useful for well inflow performance, condensate drop out and material balance calculations of condensate production in unconventional reservoirs. Effects of individual parameters such as reservoir properties (matrix permeability, heterogeneity, rock compressibility and reservoir pressure) on production oil were studied using reservoir simulations with an appropriate number of grid blocks. The matrix permeability, initial reservoir pressure, fracture spacing were the most influencing factors in recoveries from gas-condensate as well as from oil reservoirs. Operating the well at higher flowing bottom hole pressure (FBHP) is preferable for low permeability (100 nD) reservoir and low FBHP for higher permeability (1000 nD) reservoir to recover more liquid. Production data, including Gas Oil Ratios (GOR) are valuable in assessing reservoir performance. A single characteristic factor affecting the produced gas oil ratio was found to be (1- Rsw/Rsb) (1-Pwf/Pb) /(1-Pwf/Pi) that predicts deviation of gas oil ratio from its initial value. Effect of the interaction of parameters on recovery was examined using experimental design and response surface methodology. This study resulted in surrogate reservoir models for a quick assessment of production performance from ultralow permeability black oil and condensate reservoirs. Risks of production performance and investment were quantified by preparing the probability density functions (PDF) of production outcomes and the hierarchy of the most significant input factors using the surrogate reservoir models for given input distributions. Average condensate recoveries from gas condensate reservoirs and oil recoveries from oil reservoirs were 16% and 13%, respectively, after 10 years of production. Abandonment time for well with 18 fractures in ultralow permeability oil reservoir was approximately 7 years.

This finding prompted us to prepare several other preQ(,0) analogs. 7-Cyano-N('2),N('2)-dimethyl-7-deazaguanosine (150) was prepared by the treatment of 2-chloro-5-cyano-7-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-(beta)-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo{2,3,-d}pyrimidin-4-one (149) with ethanolic dimethylamine. The corresponding N('2)-methylguanosine analog 154 was not obtained either by the direct amination or several other alternative approaches.  7-Aminomethyl-7-deazaguanosine (preQ(,1), 7) has been isolated, characterized, and also established as being one of the precursors in the biosynthesis of the naturally occurring nucleosides Q (8) and Q* (9). This prompted us to prepare some closely related preQ(,1) analogs. Hence, 7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanosine (7) was prepared by a catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding 7-cyano-7-deazaguanosine derivative 6. The nucleoside preQ(,0) (6) and other closely related 7-cyano-7-deazaguanosine analogs were chemically converted to nucleosides with a carboxamido function at the 7-position.  The significance of the proton residing on N-1 and the C-2 amino group of the 7-deazaguanosine derivatives in regards to antileukemic activity could be assessed by blocking the position(s) with methyl group(s). In addition, these derivatives can also be viewed as analogs of a specific class of naturally occurring, modified nucleosides, i.e., 1-methylguanosine (m('1)G) and N('2)-methylated guanosines (m('2)G, m(,2)('2)G). In an effort to expand the knowledge in this area of study, a series of N-1 and/or C-2 amino methylated quanosine derivatives, 7-cyano-7-deazaguanosine, 7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanosine, and 7-carboxamido-7-deazaguanosine, were prepared by amination of 2-chloro-5-cyano-3-methyl-7-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-(beta)-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo-{2,3-d}pyrimidin-4-one (160). The transformation of cyano group to aminomethyl and carboxamido function by catalytic hydrogenation and with basic hydrogen peroxide, respectively, was also accomplished.  The results from the in vitro cytotoxicity testing against leukemia L1210 cell line indicated that the proton residing on N-1 of 7-deazaguanosine analogs is necessary for intrinsic cytotoxicity in this series of compounds. Methylation at an amino group (position-2) decreases the cytotoxicity. The effect of different substituents at purine position-7 of 7-deazaguanosine derivatives was also observed, in general, in the following trend: cyano (TURNEQ) carboxamido >> aminomethyl.

description: Purpose: This project therefore studied the effectiveness of music therapy as an intervention specifically for treating agitation in patients with dementia who resided in a long-term care facility. In addition, the effectiveness of music therapy using interactive forms wherein residents are invited to actively participate by singing and clapping hands along with the music, as active method of curbing agitation and uncooperative behavior. Methodology: The music therapy intervention session took place in the recreational room. The duration of the music therapy intervention was thirty-minutes per session twice a week for a period of six weeks. Sixteen participants took part in the music therapy session. Participants’ agitation was assessed with the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) three days before the music therapy session, every two weeks during the music therapy session, and two days after the music therapy session ends. Results: The highest mean score indicated an increase in participants’ behavioral symptoms and the lowest mean score indicated a decrease in participants’ behavioral symptoms. Significant aggressive behavior was noted from pre-test (M = 61.12) with a decrease score during test (M = 54.19), (M = 49.88) and posttest (M = 42.88). A one-way repeated measured analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to analyze the effect of music therapy to reduce the rate of aggressive behaviors. The results of the ANOVA indicated a significant time effect, (Wilks’ Lambda = .03, F (3,13) = 169.6, p

description: The present dissertation is the result of our studies of the optical and electrical properties of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) diodes and bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic (BOPV) devices. In our studies of SAM diodes, we fabricated solid-state mixtures of two dierent kinds of molecules; 1,4 benzene-dimethane-thiol (MeBDT) and 1-pentanethiol (PT). By varying the concentration r of MeBDT with respect to PT, we can go from a regime of isolated molecular wires (10ˉ8 < r < 10ˉ4) to a regime of aggregated molecular wire (r > 10ˉ3). For r = 0, we found that a potential barrier dominated the transport properties of the device. In the isolated molecules regime, the conductance of MeBDT dominates the transport. In this regime, because of the linearity of the conductance with respect to r, we were able to obtain a \single molecule resistance" at V = 0:1V of RM = 6  10ˉ9. In the aggregated molecules regime, an ohmic response in the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics was observed for bias voltages  0:5V with the appearance of a new band in the dierential conductance around V = 0 along with a new double band in the optical gap at 2:4eV resulting in yellow/red photoluminescence emission. Opto-electrical studies of BOPV devices reveal that there are very few similarities between these types of solar cells and conventional solar cells. From simulations and experiemental measurements of the I-V characteristics, we found that while the open voltage circuit (Voc) is important for engineers, it carries no intrinsic information of the device. It cannot exceed the built-in potential of the device (Vbuiltˉin ). The later origin was found to be dependent on electrode work function dierence for a non-Ohmic contact conguration and on the active layer's blend in an Ohmic contact conguration. In a bid to improve BOPV device performance, we added to the blend spin 1=2 radical molecules. At concentration ( 2%), an increase in device performance was observed. The principal cause for this increase was the increase in the carrier's mobility as a function of the concentration of radicals.

description: Three photoreactive substrate analogues, o-azidophenethyl pyrophosphate, p-azidophenethyl pyrophosphate, and 3-azido-1-butyl pyrophosphate, have been synthesized as site-directed probes for the catalytic site of prenyltransferase.  Due to the relatively poor affinity of p-azidophenethyl pyrophosphate and 3-azido-1butyl pyrophosphate for the enzyme, only o-azidophenethyl pyrophosphate (aryl azide) was utilized for photoaffinity labeling.  In the absence of activation light, binding studies demonstrate that the o-aryl azide competes with both the natural substrates, isopentenyl pyrophosphate and geranyl pyrophosphate.  More than 90% enzymate activity was lost when enzyme was irradiated in the presence of the aryl azide as compared to irradiation in the absence of the azide.  A stoichiometry of 2 mol of affinity label covalently bound per mol of enzyme dimer was established with [1-(3)H]-o-azidophenethyl pyrophosphate.  Since there are two catalytic sties per enzyme dimer, the o-aryl azide appears specifically to label the enzyme at its catalytic sites.  Additional evidence that the reagent was specific for the catalytic site came from the observation that farnesyl pyrophosphate afforded complete protection against photoinactivation, while isopentenyl pyrophosphate furnished partial protection and geranyl pyrophosphate provided no protection.  Isolation of modified peptides from photoaffinity labeled enzyme provides the most convincing evidence for catalytic site specific labeling.  Since a single CNBr fragment contains 80% of the label, this fragment of 30 amino acid residues has been isolated and characterized from both labeled and unlabeled enzyme.  Several lines of evidence indicate that a number of amino acids from this CNBr fragment have been modified.  First, peptide maps of trypsin digest of this peptide or phoaffinity labeled enzyme indicate that the attached label is distributed amongst at least 3 of the resulting tryptic peptides.  Second, a comparison of amino acid analysis of this CNBr fragment with its counterpart isolated from native enzyme also suggests that a number of amino acids have been modified rather than a few by the photoaffinity labeling process.  Third, 2-dimensional chromatography of the pronase digest of the labeled CNBr fragment verifies that at least 11 different products resulted from photoaffinity labeling.  Finally, Edman degradation of this labeled peptide demonstrates that at least 16 of the 30 amino acids have been modified by the photoaffinity reagent.  The two most frequently modified amino acids are a specific arginine and alanine.
