Clonidine
Methyldopa

description: The dose-response effects of clonidine on transmission through somatospinal reflex, viscerospinal reflex, intraspinal, and spinal-bulbospinal reflex pathways were determined in spinal or chloralose-anesthetized cats to assess principal sites of drug action. Clonidine rapidly produced parallel, dose-dependent depression of transmission through each pathway which was antagonized by tolazoline or yohimbine. The order of descending sensitivity was found to be spinal-bulbospinal, intraspinal, and spinal reflex pathway. Analysis of the relative depression of transmission at spinal and at brainstem levels indicates that the spinal site is more sensitive to clonidine that it is generally considered to be. The effect of the serotonin (5-HT) precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) was also assessed on the intraspinal pathway and somatospinal reflex. In contrast to clonidine, 5-HTP was more effective in depressing the spinal reflex than the intraspinal pathway, and both pathways could be depressed completely. Clonidine and 5-HTP appear to depress the excitability of sympathetic neurons by activating alpha(,2)- and 5-HT receptors, respectively. The intraspinal pathway was rapidly and markedly enhanced for 1-2 hours by two methylxanthines. Clonidine depressed intraspinal transmission and prevented enhancement by the xanthines; alpha(,2)-receptor antagonists blocked the effect of clonidine and not only restored but also markedly prolonged the enhancement by the xanthines. The results suggest that the excitability of sympathetic preganglionic neurons may be regulated by cyclic AMP through activation of different subtypes of adrenergic receptors that are either positively or negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase. Methyldopa (MD) produced a moderate enhancement of transmission through three central sympathetic pathways three hours after an i.v. infusion of 150 mg/kg. However, a subsequent dose of 5 mg/kg dose of reserpine, which alone causes no depression, produces prompt, marked depression of transmission through each pathway which is antagonized by yohimbine, suggesting that reserpine releases an active metabolite of MD to depress sympathetic preganglionic neurons by activing alpha(,2)-receptors. Depletion of epinephrine by blockade of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase prevents this depression that occurs with the transmitter release. Propranolol modestly enhances transmission through the pathways tested.

description: In this project, we sought to evaluate the psychometric properties of a newly developed screening questionnaire NPO-11 which aims to assess psychosocial follow-up needs in pediatric oncology. The NPO-11 contains 11 items measuring various potential psychosocial burdens. Separate versions were generated for self-report and parent-report. To evaluate the screening questionnaire, participants were recruited from parent's association Sonnenstrahl e.V. Dresden and parent's association Elternhilfe e.V. Leipzig. Inclusion criteria were: (1) survivors of paediatric cancer (aged 4-18 years) and their parents, (2) initial diagnosis at least two years prior to study participation. Exclusion criteria werre: (1) lack of understanding of instructions and materials, (2) lack of German language proficiency, (3) motor impairment (due to other research questions within the project), and (4) palliative care. Statistical analyses included descriptive evaluation of questionnaire responses, inter-rater reliability analysis, factor analysis, internal consistency analysis, and correlational analysis with similar measures (i.e. quality of life). This study is preregistered at Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien (DRKS 00022034).

description: Six miles from Reno, Nevada, a flock of sheep gather behind the fence of a farm. Although they look like ordinary sheep, their livers, hearts, brains and other organs contain a large percentage of human cells. In California, human neurons are inserted into mice. In Minnesota, pigs are born with human blood in their veins. These are biologically engineered animals, commonly referred to as "part-humans." The label comes from the assumption that they are neither fully human nor fully nonhuman. Instead, they are a new kind of being. But are animals partially composed of human parts part-human? In my dissertation, I introduce a number of methods available to make this distinction but, upon scrutiny, eliminate each one. Instead, I argue that whether an animal is part-human or merely partially composed of human parts depends on the transposability of parts. A suitably transposable part gives rise to analogous characteristics in both recipient and donor. The reason why it is important to establish the exact humanness of these animals is because various ethical and legal regulations are grounded in the human/nonhuman distinction, e.g., patenting regulations, regulations for conducting research on human and nonhuman subjects, etc. Hence, my requirements have practical applications. However, they are only useful insofar as our ethical and legal regulations give preferential treatment to humans over nonhumans. Yet many ethicists-most famously, Peter Singer-have argued against the normative value of the human/nonhuman distinction. Those who oppose giving preferential treatment to humans over nonhumans generally prefer some version of the person/nonperson distinction, where a person has moral status in virtue of having morally relevant characteristics. While it may seem obvious that a proponent of the personhood view ought to find the humanness of part-humans irrelevant to how we ought to judge their moral status, I argue that this need not always be the case. Whether a morally relevant characteristic came about as a result of a human rather than a nonhuman transplant can make a moral difference.
The andean community: a case study on economic integration among developing countries

description: Countries across the globe have formed regional integration schemes for many reasons. Liberalization of trade, greater negotiating power in the world arena, and the acceleration of industrialization are only a few of the many objectives of integration processes. Using the literature in a number of disciplines, this paper first looks at why economic, political and social integration is an attractive goal for the Andean countries: Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. This paper analyzes the formation of the Andean Pact and uses it as a basis to determine if economic regional integration is beneficial to developing countries. The closed-economic policies of the individual member countries in the Pact as well as the Pact from 1969 to 1989 resulted in economic stagnation. After 1989, the member states reorganized the Pact into the Andean Community (ANCOM) and abandoned many of their closed-economic policies. This paper looks at the new goals of ANCOM as well as the extent to which they are being realized. Finally, a hypothesis on possible courses of action is brought up. By using the Andean Community as evidence, this paper concludes that developing countries have much to benefit through the use of regional integration.

description: The focus of my PhD was the integration of a computerised cognitive screening test into several multiple sclerosis outpatient clinics around Australia. My aim was to determine how the tests could be used in hospitals and if people living with multiple sclerosis enjoyed doing the tests and found them interesting. I also investigated if the tests could measure changes in memory and the speed that people with multiple sclerosis can process information. I found that the tests were very practical and easy to use; and were sensitive to changes in memory and speed of thinking in people with multiple sclerosis.

description: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a central player in the regulation of development and aging. FoxA factors are master regulators of the GI tract during embryogenesis and after birth but little is know about their regulation. I use the simple digestive tract of C. elegans to investigate the role of pha-4/FoxA in whole organism responses to nutrients. My search for pha-4/FoxA regulators has lead to insights regarding how an animal responds to nutrients during aging in the adult and postembryonic development.  I have examined the role of pha-4/FoxA during adult lifespan extension due to loss of nutrient signaling through the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathway. To search for regulators of pha-4/FoxA, Dustin Updike performed a genetic screen to search for suppressors of the larval lethality associated with the pha-4 mutation and discovered an AAA ATPase, ruvb-1, as apotent suppressor. I showed that the ruvb-1 mutant phenocopies mutations in the TOR pathway suggesting that these genes have a similar function in protein biosynthesis. I found that pha-4/FoxA is required for extension of adult lifespan by loss of CeTOR signaling; however, only mutations in one of the predicted CeTOR targets, rsks-l/S6K, required pha-4/FoxA for lifespan regulation. These data suggest a model where TOR signaling through S6 kinase antagonizes pha-4/FoxA factor activity. Secondly, I have investigated the role of pha-4/FoxA during L1 diapause induced by starvation. Proper developmental arrest in response to starvation has been shown to be required for survival however little is known about factors that are required during L1 diapause. I showed that pha-4/FoxA is require d for L1 diapause survival post embryonically. I showed that levels of PHA-4 are important for starvation survival. pha-4/FoxA is required for initiation of development after periods of starvation and is not required for developmental arrest during starvation.  We a recurrently using genomewide approaches to determine targets of pha-4/FoxA that a reimportant for L1 diapause recovery.  This work investigates how nutrients regulate whole body responses through the GI tract. I find that pha-4/FoxA plays critical roles in coupling low nutrient intake to aging and development.

description: DNA extraction automation is a major concern in molecular diagnostics where processing of numerous and daily samples of blood represent a labor-intensive task and are difficult to automate. With the rapid growth in the area of DNA diagnostics, there is an urgent need for the development of a microsized total analysis system which can perform all three of the primary tasks of nucleic acid-based diagnostics on a single chip: sample preparation, extraction of the DNA, detection and quantification. This thesis work presents design and fabrication of an integrated system that can extract and electrochemically quantify DNA simultaneously from any unknown sample on a single chip. The system is fabricated using aluminum oxide membranes as substrates for the extraction and quantification of DNA, bonded with the PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane), whose layer provides the microfluidic inlet and outlet. Cost effective fabrication tools, such as Xurography (a knife plotter) and soft lithography, are used to obtain integrated hybrid fluidic and detector prototypes. Characterization of the DNA quantification system is performed based on several important operational parameters such as different concentrations of gDNA (sample), voltage applied to the electrochemical detector, flow rate of the sample and carrier buffer and channel gap size between the detector electrodes. Three experiments with different experimental setup are applied to quantify the binding of DNA with the surface of aluminum oxide membranes. The change in the current through the detector wires is found to be linear with different concentrations of gDNA. Using these experimental data, a calibration curve is obtained through which concentration and mass of gDNA that is extracted from an unknown sample can be determined successfully. This system thus provides us with several advantages, such as simultaneous extraction and quantification of gDNA, low detection limit of DNA (3.3ng/^L), low sample volume (200^L), high sensitivity and selectivity, low cost, small size, easy fabrication, portability, and disposability, when compared to other quantification systems.

Evaluating barriers to outpatient psychiatric treatment: a quality improvement project
Creators: name: Gocon, Clarence

Year: 2020

description: Purpose of Project: Alcohol and substance use have been a contributing factor to economic and health issues affecting different parts of the world. Alcohol and substance use affect both the individual using the substances as well those other people around the individual. While treatment options have been available for alcohol and illicit substance users, an issue that continues to affect patient outcomes is treatment retention rates in outpatient settings. Literature has shown a large number of clients who begin treatment will stop treatment before its completion. Evaluating barriers and finding methods to improve outpatient rates can help to improve overall patient outcomes. The clinical question being asked is What are the changes to outpatient treatment (I) that can help increase retention rates (O) for clients who identify as using alcohol and/or illicit substances (P)? This project sought to identify clients that potentially use alcohol and/or illicit substance in order to find out what contributes to non-compliance in outpatient treatment. Methodology: This was done through a retrospective chart review of 227 charts and 25 structured interviews of clients in the outpatient psychiatric program. Results: The review concluded that of the 227 charts, only 39% completed treatment. Of the remaining cases, 46% were closed out due to an unknown reason, and less than 1% had an identifiable barrier to attending treatment. The barriers were related to scheduling conflicts and transportation issues. Upon completion of the chart review, a structured interview was completed on 20 individuals that identified barriers to treatment. The results of the interviews noted 10 (50%) individuals with issues regarding transportation, 4 (20%) individuals having financial issues, 5 (25%) individuals with issues with the treatment team, 1 (5%) individual with schedule related issues, 2 (10%) individuals reporting medication related issues, 1 (5%) individual reporting it made the person feel like it was a sign of weakness, 1 (5%) individual reporting a depressed mood and low self-esteem, and 1 (5%) individual not having any interest in stopping using his or her drug of choice. The total results were greater than 100% because certain individuals noted multiple barriers to treatment. Based on the results of the chart review and structured interview, possible recommendations were identified that can help to decrease the barriers to attending treatment.Implications for Practice: Recommendations included adjustments in appointment availability, transportation options, such as van service or taxi service, staff education, and treatment of underlying depressed mood were included. Moving forward, it will be important to use current knowledge to focus on implementing these or other recommendation in order to further assist clients in achieving a better patient outcome.

description: Offering desired performances at minimum energy consumption, a multi-speed transmission system in electric vehicles is associated with several unavoidable complexities. In this study, a three-parameter gearshift strategy has been presented based on vehicle speed, acceleration, and road grade. The gear ratios and the gearshift maps were optimised implementing the gradient descent and pattern search methods. Showing the similar performances on straight road compared to those using the conventional approaches, the proposed gearshift strategy could save approximately 16.5% energy consumption on an inclined road. After a thorough analysis, it was found that the experimental results supported the simulation findings.

description: The Great Salt Lake (GSL) in the western United States has been identified as the most mercury laden body of water in the United States with a median water mercury  concentration of 42 ng L-1. When Hg enters an aquatic ecosystem, it can be converted to the toxic organic mercury compound, methylmercury. Methylmercury bioaccumulates up the food chain and has been the cause of consumption advisories for game fish in many  lakes and rivers in the historically pristine Intermountain West. In 2005, the Utah Department of Health and the Fish and Wildlife Service placed a similar consumption  advisory on waterfowl on the GSL. The primary goal of this study is to identify the pathway of greatest influx of Hg pollution to the GSL to give insight toward the source  and an eventual solution to the Hg pollution problem.  Speciated atmospheric mercury measurements were collected at a field site on the eastern shore of the GSL for a 1-year period beginning on July 1, 2009. These  atmospheric mercury concentrations, along with turbulence measurements, were used as input to a resistance-in-series dry deposition model (based on Wesley and Hicks 1977). The dry deposition flux of mercury was determined from the modeled dry deposition velocity and the measured concentrations. This dry deposition flux was compared to the wet deposition flux measured by the National Deposition Network and the riverine influx measured by the USGS.

description: Purpose of Project: Diabetes is a very prevalent chronic disease that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) is recommended for all diabetic patients to improve glycemic control. The purpose of this project was to improve referral of diabetic patients to DSMES services by assessing their diabetes self-management behaviors with the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire.Methodology: The design for this DNP project was a pre-post intervention study. A retrospective chart review was performed pre and post intervention to compare DSMES referral rates. Twenty-five diabetic participants in a single provider primary care practice participated in this project.Results: Most of participants were white males with a long history of diabetes (more than 5 years). The results demonstrated that utilization of the SDSCA resulted in a statistically significant increase in referrals from 0 to 6 (24%) patients (p = 0.014).Implications for Practice: This project showed the importance of assessing self-management behaviors in all diabetes patients. Future scholarly work should determine whether implementing the SDSCA and referring to DSMES reduce diabetes-related complications and decrease the burden of the disease.

description: Household health care roles in two Southeast Asian refugee cultural groups, the Vietnamese and ethnic Chinese/Vietnamese were examined using an exploratory and descriptive ethnography approach.  The purposes of the study included:  descriptions of health care roles; a comparative analysis of the variability of health care roles and practices between the two groups, and a longitudinal evaluation focusing on the complexity of family health care dynamics and influencing sociocultural components.  Results indicated that the oldest son and the mother occupy the primary roles in the families' health care systems.  Comparatively, this authoritarian role of the oldest son seems to be diminishing in the Vietnamese families as compared with the ethnic Chinese/Vietnamese.  Differences between the families' health practices were also examined.  The refugees are showing adaptation to American health care by accepting its pluralistic nature and electrically selecting the right health care combination for themselves and their family.

description: The objective of this study was to compare the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Curcuma caesia rhizome extracts and to characterise its bioactive metabolites by Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). Extracts were prepared using methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate by cold percolation methods. Compared to other extracts, methanol extract discovered to have the greatest antioxidant capacity. Analysis of FTIR spectra of all the extracts of Curcuma caesia shows the existence of several functional groups such as phenol, aldehydes and carboxylic group. But in methanol extract C≡C stretching bond, nitro compound and conjugated aldehyde were also presented. GC-MS extract assessment showed that sesquiterpene and monoterpenes were primarily presented. This research provides an efficient basis for separating the innovative bioactive compound from plant and assessing their effectiveness for antioxidant and antibacterial operations in particular.
Illness intrusiveness, self-concept restructuring, and psychosocial adjustment in men with prostate cancer

description: I investigated the relationships among illness intrusiveness, self-concept  restructuring, and psychological adjustment in men recently diagnosed with prostate  cancer. Fifty-eight married men (40 to 84 years old) who had recently been diagnosed  (within 1 year) with prostate cancer completed assessments of their hoped-for and  feared possible selves, the extent to which prostate cancer made achieving/avoiding  possible selves more difficult (i.e., intrusion by cancer on possible selves), and the  extent to which prostate cancer increased or decreased the importance of possible  selves (i.e., self-concept restructuring). These men also completed measures of  psychological well-being, anxiety, and depression. More than half of the men reported  that prostate cancer increased the difficulty of achieving at least one hope (60.3%) or  avoiding at least one fear (56.1%). Illness intrusion on feared selves interacted with  restructuring to predict adjustment. Specifically, men who reported intrusions on fears  had lower well-being and higher depression only if they did not also report  restructuring their feared selves. Intrusion on hopes did not interact with restructuring  to predict adjustment. Results suggest that self-concept restructuring may buffer  associations between illness intrusion and poor psychological adjustment among men  with prostate cancer.

A bioecological perspective of Singaporean parents' negotiations with Kiasu and meritocracy amidst education reform
Creators: name: Koh, Eugenia Puay Yeong
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research investigates the tensions experienced by Singaporean parents in navigating the 'kiasu parent' label, a term denoting competitive parenting culture for academic success, and meritocracy within education reform. Using a narrative inquiry approach, the study anchors on the Person–Process–Context–Time model within Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory, with a focus on environmental interactions that shape parents' decision-making. Findings reveal disparities between policy goals and real-world outcomes, causing conflicts that extend beyond family settings and into the broader education reform ecosystem. The study recommends recognising the broader societal context and emphasises the need for comprehensive support for parents as they navigate the challenges of a high-stakes education landscape.

description: The objective of this study was to compare the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Curcuma caesia rhizome extracts and to characterise its bioactive metabolites by Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). Extracts were prepared using methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate by cold percolation methods. Compared to other extracts, methanol extract discovered to have the greatest antioxidant capacity. Analysis of FTIR spectra of all the extracts of Curcuma caesia shows the existence of several functional groups such as phenol, aldehydes and carboxylic group. But in methanol extract C≡C stretching bond, nitro compound and conjugated aldehyde were also presented. GC-MS extract assessment showed that sesquiterpene and monoterpenes were primarily presented. This research provides an efficient basis for separating the innovative bioactive compound from plant and assessing their effectiveness for antioxidant and antibacterial operations in particular.
Microfluidic flow cell array integrated with surface plasmon resonance microscopy for microarray analysis

Surface plasmon resonance microscopy

description: This dissertation describes the integration of a microfluidic flow cell array (MFCA) with surface plasmon resonance microscopy (SPRM) and the application of MFCASPRM system for microarray analysis of biomolecule interactions.   The design and construction of a SPR microscope with a sensing area that is compatible with the fluidics footprint of the MFCA is described first. Antibody-antibody interactions are used as the model system to demonstrate the capability of the integrated  MFCA-SPRM for in situ microarray fabrication and analysis. Impacts of physicochemical parameters, such as reactant concentrations, reaction constants and the  flow rate, on the performance of the MFCA-SPRM are investigated by experiments and modeling. Optimized experimental conditions will support the future application of the MFCA-SPRM. Statistical analysis of microarray data (24 micro spots) shows that the  spot-to-spot coefficient of variation is within 15%. Major sources of signal variance are from the deviation of light incident angle, heterogeneous sensing surface and the mass transport.  Next, a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrates the potential of the MFCA-SPRM system for immunogenicity assays of Daclizumab to analyze anti-drug antibodies (ADA) from serum samples. Daclizumab is a monoclonal antibody drug for treatment of multiple sclerosis patients. Biotinylated-Daclizumab immobilized on a streptavidin monolayer is used to assess the presence of ADA in serum samples of three patients with multiple  sclerosis. The result shows that the sample from a patient without the treatment of Daclizumab generates the highest SPR signal. In the future, more samples are required to generate statistically significant data to evaluate the immunogenicity of Daclizumab.  Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometer (MALDI MS) is an ideal tool to be combined with SPR for protein analysis. An antibody microarray created by MFCA and coupled to MS is utilized to demonstrate the potential of microarray analysis  with SPR-MS.  Finally, we apply MFCA-SPRM system for characterization of in situ immobilized vesicles on solid surfaces. Hydrophilicity of surface, vesicle size and composition are investigated as factors that affect the structure of vesicles adsorbed on surfaces. A model  for the calculation of the surface area of the bilayer is proposed to correlate the SPR response with vesicle structures at the surface.
Understanding youth identity in a leadership context: providing a voice for Somali youth

Subjects: Afterschool programs
Ethnic identity
Refugee youth

description: The goal of the current qualitative study was to gain a better understanding of ethnic identity and educational and career goals among youth with refugee status in a leadership context. All participants were Somali and Muslim young adults who are involved in University Neighborhood Partners Hartland Youth Leadership Committee (YLC) program, which met weekly throughout the academic school year and focused on leadership skills, college preparation, and service activities. Focus groups, semistructured interviews, and participant observation were employed. . Questions and discussion topics for focus groups and semistructured interviews were developed from quantitative measures, including the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure-Revised (MEIM-R), the American Identity Measure (AIM), a motivation/engagement measure and Psychological Sense of School Membership Scale (PSSMS). The focus group discussions and interviews consisted of 10 participants, 5 male and 5 female. Results from the current study parallel the few recent studies that identify both the motivations and challenges youth with refugee status face in accessing higher education, as opposed to focusing on the mental health concerns. As well as moving the current literature forward on the topic, the study also lends to the recognition of more school and community programming aimed at this population with many potential vulnerabilities. Three major implications developed from the study: 1) need for more involvement of youth with refugee status in school activities, 2) need for more college preparation and afterschool programming for youth with refugee status, and 3) increased awareness of youth with refugee status in the United States.
