title: Metallic alloys used in implants
Creators: name: Salanga, Benneth
Publisher: name: URMSE
Year: 2020

description: Metal alloys made from titanium, zinc, copper, and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum used in medical implants are investigated in helping resolve post-treatment complications such as corrosion, bone resorption, and toxicity due to the body’s response to foreign materials. Multiple tests have been done to measure the limits of their mechanical properties such as corrosion resistance, rates, flexibility, and strength. Mechanical testing and finite element method are used to determine the ideal porosity that maintains titanium’s mechanical strength but lowers its elastic modulus. Zinc-copper alloys underwent electrochemical and cytotoxicity tests to evaluate its corrosion behavior and toxicity. Tribocorrosion resistance of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys were tested under different conditions. Metal implants are significantly improved in terms of strength and compatibility to help resolve implant complications by including special additives, alloying, and carburizing. However, more research must be done on these materials to ensure optimal quality and functionality to continue improving modern transplant operations.
Critical rhetorical analysis of Joel Salatin: the alternative farming minister of Terroir

Rhetoric--Political aspects

description: I present a critical rhetorical analysis that examines appeals made by farmer and author, Joel Salatin. I analyze Salatin's rhetoric as it is widely available across media, while specifically focusing upon his two most recent books: Folks, this ain't Normal (2011) and The Sheer Ecstasy of being a Lunatic Farmer (2010). My rhetorical analysis seeks to answer the following questions: first, how does Salatin rhetorically structure his vision for a new agrarian establishment centered on localized food production, which would counter industrial agriculture and its global food trade; and, second, what are the implications as varied food movements work from Salatin's ideological commitments via invoking his rhetorical imaginary and utilizing his material practices? I assert that Salatin constructs a rhetorical imaginary of alternative food production that synthesizes conservative and progressive imperatives relevant to production and consumption, which is accomplished and mobilized via his invocation of terroir. Specifically, Salatin articulates an organizing metaphor of Christianity as the soil of life. I argue that Salatin's rhetorical imaginary of alternative food production results in a hybridized discourse that merges neoliberal and progressive imperatives. I seek to contribute to critical rhetorical theory via both extending and challenging current conceptions with respect to how neoliberalism is manifest and operationalized in contemporary contexts; as well as, more broadly, via illuminating further evolutions, intersections, and materializations of discourse.

description: Abstract

Oral health is as essential as overall wellness. As pediatric dentists, we believe that children should be referred or tested for oral health diseases in the same way that they are screened for overall well-being at various ages in primary care settings or hospitals. So, there is a need for a model that takes care of children's oral health from beginning with effective communication between pediatricians, primary care providers, and pediatric dentists or dentists, and acting as a link. Pediatric dental-medical integration is a collaborative paradigm that encourages interdisciplinary contact among healthcare providers, ensuring smooth continuity of care, complete treatment planning, and addressing complex medical illnesses or developmental concerns that affect oral health. It includes an oral health risk assessment to identify children who are at high risk of developing dental disease, as well as preventative care, oral hygiene teaching, and dietary advice. We feel it fills a gap and captures missing possibilities that were implemented a long time ago to improve early intervention and prevention. This patient-centered practice style entails sharing information, offering basic diagnostic services, oral health education, and consulting with one another in a methodical and sustained manner, which saves both parents and doctors time and effort. It enables the use of interdisciplinary strategies to overcome patient-specific barriers to obtaining treatments, such as patient uncertainty and anxiety about visiting the dentist, through the referral system. Our  communication paper  introduces novel model of  the Pediatric dental-medical integration as an effective approach to incorporate oral health care into primary care for children.

description: This study was concerned with comparing instructional methods used in three schools, the University of Utah, Utah State University and Weber State College, in training Medical technologists.  The University of Utah medical technology group consisted of 28 students.  The instructors were practicing medical technologists from the University Medical Center Laboratory and they employed an instructional model similar to the classical lecture and demonstration method. The Utah State University group contained 16 students and also employed the classical lecture and demonstration model.  The instructor was a Doctor of Microbiology on the college faculty with no previous training in medical technology.  The Weber State College group contained 17 students.  The competency based educational model was used with this group.  The instructor was a medical technologist on the faculty of the Department of Health Occupations.  In order to compare these three instructional methods,   a module was designed around one specific component of basic hematological knowledge,   the different blood count.     Included in the module was: (1) topic; (2) suggested teaching and student preparation time; (3) description of tests and sample test items; and (6) learning resources available. Statistical comparisons were computed on scores of pre tests,   post tests and gain scores between pre test and post test scores.  Analyses of variance,  t tests and Newman-Keuls two-step comparison of the means were used to evaluate the following:  1. Differences, if any,   across the three colleges on pre test scores of students enrolled in the Introductory Hematology classes.  2. Differences, if any, across the three colleges on post test scores of students after exposure to the three instructional methods.  3. Differences, if any, across the three colleges on gain scores of students taught by the three instructional methods.  The results of these analyses are summarized below:  1. Post test scores of all three groups were significantly higher than pre test scores (p
Prevalence of inadequate vitamin D intake in spinal muscular atrophy type I population as it correlates with bone health

description: Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease that causes a degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. SMA Type I is the most severe form, characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. SMA Type I patients are susceptible to nutritional deficiencies, especially those that correlate to bone health, due to decreased caloric intake and limited weight bearing.  The aim of this study was to evaluate and assess: 1) the adequacy of vitamin D intake as compared to the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation of 400  IU/day; 2) the correlation between vitamin D intake and associated serum level; and 3) the association between vitamin D and calcium intakes and bone mineral density.  All subjects are participants in an ongoing natural history study at the University of Utah. Participants have a genetic diagnosis of SMA and a clinical diagnosis of Type I. Vitamin D and calcium intakes were assessed with a 3-day food record. Vitamin D serum levels were evaluated from 25-hydroxy vitamin D lab testing. Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Scan (DEXA) of the subjects' whole body.  Subjects (n=40) consisted of 22 males and 18 females. The mean age of the subjects was 18.6 months (range 0 to 165 months). Seventy-five percent of patients had  an inadequate intake of vitamin D at the initial visit. Vitamin D intake and calcium intake were positively correlated with BMD (1=0.31 and 1=0.53, respectively). Increased vitamin D and calcium consumption were associated with an increase in BMD (p=0.04 and p=0.01, respectively). Vitamin D intake correlated positively with serum levels of vitamin D (1=0.65). Within a subset of 14 patients, 71% had a serum vitamin D level in  the optimal range.  The majority of patients (75%) reported an inadequate vitamin D intake at their first visit (<400 IU). Inadequate nutrient intake is likely due to the decreased caloric  needs of SMA Type I patients. Decreased intake of vitamin D and calcium were associated with a decreased BMD which increases the risk of fractures, scoliosis, and  osteoporosis. There continues to be a need for evidence-based research concerning the nutritional needs of SMA Type I patients. Future research involving an experimental study is necessary to determine optimal intakes of vitamin D and calcium in the SMA Type I population.

Xylem cavitation and the distribution of Sonoran Desert vegetation

description: Plants replace evaporative water losses with water drawn through the xylem under negative pressure. Water in the xylem is therefore susceptible to cavitation: the nucleation of vaporization. Cavitation results in a gas-filled or embolized conduit that is nonfunctional in transport. This dissertation examines the mechanism of water transport, the occurrence of cavitation induced by water stress and freezing, and its implications for the ecophysiology of Sonoran desert plants.  In recent years, the widely accepted cohesion-tension theory has been challenged by evidence against the existence of significant negative xylem pressure. Using centrifugal force to generate negative xylem pressure, I found that several species sustained negative pressures as predicted by the cohesion tension theory. Furthermore, cavitation occurred at species specific xylem pressures in accordance with a previously postulated air-seeding mechanism.  Seasonal studies showed that a riparian species limited transpiration to avoid inducing complete xylem cavitation. In contrast, two desert shrubs halted gas exchange with large safety margins from the xylem pressures leading to complete cavitation. This suggested that stem cavitation did not limit transpiration in upland species.  Comparative studies showed that the critical pressures leading to complete cavitation decreased with decreasing minimum xylem pressure across habitats. In addition, there was a weak tradeoff between resistance to cavitation and conducting efficiency. These results suggested that the interaction between vulnerability to cavitation and the phenological and morphological characters determining xylem pressure was important in determining species distribution.  Xylem pressure and anatomy also determine resistance to freezing-induced cavitation. Although predicted to cavitate completely following freezing, L. tridentata exhibited no cavitation after freezing to -11°C or higher. Below -11°C cavitation increased until it was complete between -16 and -20°C. The mechanism responsible is unknown but the northern limit of L. tridentata predicted using long-term minimum temperatures of -16° to -20°C corresponded to L. tridentata's distribution over much of its range.  These studies confirmed our understanding the mechanism of xylem water transport and showed that cavitation is important in determining the distribution and performance of desert plants.

description: Docetaxel (DTX) is found to be very effective against glioma cell in vitro. However, in vivo passage of DTX through BBB is extremely difficult due to the physicochemical and pharmacological characteristics of the drug. No existing formulation is successful in this aspect. Hence, in this study, effort was made to send DTX through blood–brain barrier (BBB) to brain to treat diseases such as solid tumor of brain (glioma) by developing DTX-loaded nanoliposomes. Primarily drug-excipients interaction was evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy. The DTX-loaded nanoliposomes (L-DTX) were prepared by lipid layer hydration technique and characterized physicochemically. In vitro cellular uptake in C6 glioma cells was investigated. FTIR data show that the selected drug and excipients were chemically compatible. The unilamellar vesicle size was less than 50 nm with smooth surface. Drug released slowly from L-DTX in vitro in a sustained manner. The pharmacokinetic data shows more extended action of DTX from L-DTX in experimental rats than the free-drug and Taxotere®. DTX from L-DTX enhanced 100% drug concentration in brain as compared with Taxotere® in 4 h. Thus, nanoliposomes as vehicle may be an encouraging strategy to treat glioma with DTX.

description: Emergency preparedness refers to steps taken prior to the onset of an emergency in an effort to improve the ability to respond to and recover from potential disasters. Local governments need a means of assessing their emergency preparedness in order to better focus their future efforts. Indices have been used in other aspects of hazard research as a means of summarizing complex information into an easily understood value, but have not yet been applied to emergency preparedness. The process to develop an emergency preparedness index is discussed, and three possible indices are presented: fire stations per thousand, a composite index, and a scale-adjusted regression approach. A sample analysis of each method was conducted using data from fire stations for the 29 counties in Utah to illustrate the feasibility of each method and the usefulness of the results. Strengths and weaknesses of each method are discussed in regards to which method is most appropriate to aid local governments in evaluating and monitoring their emergency preparedness. The scale-adjusted regression approach was found to be the most effective for comparing communities with widely diverging populations and resources (e.g., urban versus rural), as well as being the most practical for local officials to implement and interpret.

Patterns of noncompliance with recommendations from a computerized insulin protocol

Subjects: subject: Therapeutic Use

subject: FOS: Health sciences

description: Detailed research protocols standardize the interventions for clinical studies, but the protocols can be complex. Clinical decision support systems (CDS) can interpret detailed protocols for care providers. Nurses are expected to comply with research protocols; however, nurses sometimes reject the CDS recommendations.  This study evaluated patterns of noncompliance with recommendations from a computerized insulin-titration CDS (eProtocol-insulin). The primary research question was: Are there patterns to noncompliance with recommendations from eProtocol-insulin? The study used a descriptive/exploratory design; with data from a nurse questionnaire supplementing data from a retrospective patient cohort reflecting 2 years of software use.  A content analysis of text entered by nurses into the software described reasons for noncompliance. Patient data, such as trends over an extended time, were the reason for almost half (49.2%) of declines. The nurse disagreed with knowledge base rules for one quarter (27.3%) of declines, and nurses experienced barriers to compliance for 12.3% of declined recommendations. Organizational factors, usability, and attitudes were not reasons for any declined recommendations in this analysis.  A statistical analysis evaluated the relationship between patient variables and noncompliance with recommendations. Demographic characteristics were not associated with declined recommendations. Associations were found between specific patient conditions and declines. However, no clear pattern of predictors emerged. It is likely that more complex models would be needed to reliably predict noncompliance.  Nurses described factors that they perceived as important for compliance. The nurses understood the overall protocol but wanted explanations available on demand. Other factors perceived as important included help files accessible through the software interface, maintaining the ability to decline recommendations, and having trust in the protocol development process.  Noncompliance was a relatively uncommon event, occurring less than 6% of the time. However, patterns of noncompliance revealed areas where the CDS could be improved. Patients experienced events not accommodated by protocol rules, which the nurses appeared to perceive as safety issues. Even with high levels of overall compliance, evaluation of declined recommendations can lead to improved decision support systems and better patient safety.

description: The main objective of this work is to study different materials for the direct photosynthesis of hydrogen from water. A variety of photocatalysts such as titanium dioxide, titanium oxy-nitride, silicon carbide, and gallium nitride are being investigated by others for the clean production of hydrogen for fuel cells and hydrogen economy. Our approach was to deposit suitable metallic regions on photocatalyst nanoparticles to direct the efficient synthesis of hydrogen to a particular site for convenient collection. We studied different electrode metals such as gold, platinum, titanium, palladium, and tungsten. We also studied different solar cell materials such as silicon (p- and n-types), silicon carbide and titanium dioxide semiconductors in order to efficiently generate electrons under illumination. We introduced a novel silicon-based multilayer photosynthesis device to take advantage of suitable properties of silicon and tungsten to efficiently produce hydrogen. The device consisted of a silicon (0.5mm) substrate, a deposited atomic layer of Al2O3 (1nm), a doped polysilicon (0.1?m), and finally a tungsten nanoporous (5-10nm) layer acting as an interface electrode with water. The Al2O3 layer was introduced to reduce leakage current and to prevent the spreading of the diffused p-n junction layer between the silicon and doped polysilicon layers. The surface of the photoelectrode was coated with nanotext;ured tungsten nanopores (TNP), which increased the surface area of the electrodes to the electrolyte, assisting in electron-hole mobility, and acting as a photocatalyst. The reported device exhibited a fill factor (%FF) of 27.22% and solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 0.03174%. This thesis describes the structures of the device, and offers a characterization and comparison between different photoelectrodes.

description: The present study examined the predictors of discontinuation from a home telehealth program designed to provide a patient centered approach to symptom management for older adult veterans.  Data from 132 veterans were collected and analyzed through the Care Coordination/Home Telehealth program at the Salt Lake City Veterans Affairs Medical  Center. The criteria established for participant inclusion required that the veteran reported using four or more active prescription medications, was 50 years of age or older, and reported patterns of high utilization of health care services during the year prior to enrollment. Veterans were provided with a telehealth device and oriented to the program through an in person or telephone meeting. Over a 4-year period, results demonstrated that 73 of the 132 (55.3%) participants  discontinued enrollment in the program. When a veteran participant discontinued, the reason for discontinuation was recorded. There were three reasons that a veteran could be classified as discontinued including the following: 1) the veteran chose to discontinue the program; 2) the veteran no longer qualified for participation in the program therefore, discontinued; or 3) the veteran did not engage in the program beyond the initial orientation session.

Cytoskeleton Modulation of Platelets and Megakaryocytes
Creators: name: Smith, Matthew C.
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: Platelets perform a critical role in both physiologic hemostasis and pathologic thrombosis, and the production and activation of platelets involves intricate regulation of cytoskeletal processes within these cells. A greater understanding of these cytoskeletal processes within platelets will offer the ability to manipulate them in hope of mitigating pathologies. In this dissertation I present a continuum of work progressing from the study of neural guidance cues in immune cells to neural guidance cues in platelet cytoskeletal function and finally to cytoskeletal alterations required for platelet production in thrombopoiesis. This work begins with the finding that, contrary to published reports, Slit2 does not regulate neutrophils directly, but instead acts through Robo4 to blunt endothelial hyper-response to cytokine storm. These studies led naturally into studies of guidance cues in other hematopoietic lineages, specifically platelets. I present data suggesting that Semaphorin 3E (Sema3E) inhibits all stages of platelet activation. Additionally, Sema3E reversibly inhibits platelet function by inactivating Rap1b, which is required for activation of 􀀁llb􀀂3 integrin. In attempts to determine the platelet receptor for Sema3E, using mice with a platelet-specific conditional deletion of the Sema3E receptor PlexinD1, I determined that PlexinD1 is not necessary for the platelet inhibitory activities of Sema3E. Simultaneously, in an attempt to produce Sema3E protein, I determined that effects originally attributed to Sema3E were in fact a result of Tween-20 contamination from commercially produced Sema3E formulation, thus terminating my studies of Semaphorins in platelets and suggesting the need for another look at the previously published reports of Sema3A in platelets. The study of cytoskeletal regulation in platelets lent naturally to the study of cytoskeletal functions in thrombopoiesis. Here I show that the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib causes thrombocytopenia by blunting platelet production in mice, consistent with clinical studies in humans. Furthermore, bortezomib prevents the production of proplatelets from megakaryocytes. I demonstrate that bortezomib treatment elevates both RhoA protein levels and RhoA activation in megakaryocytes and that inhibition of RhoA or its downstream kinase ROCK restores proplatelet production. As currently-approved drugs exist that inhibit both RhoA and ROCK, I suggest that these pathways are primary targets for treating bortezomib-induced thrombocytopenia.

description: In an attempt to improve therapeutic efficacy of dexamethasone (DXM)-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (NPs) for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced acute renal injury (AKI), sialic acid (SA) is used as a ligand to target the inflamed vascular endothelium. DXM-loaded SA-conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated NPs (SA-NPs) are prepared via solvent diffusion method and show the good colloidal stability. SA-NPs reduce apoptotic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via downregulating oxidative stress-induced Bax, upregulating Bcl-xL, and inhibiting Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 activation. Cellular uptake results suggest SA-NPs can be specifically internalized by the inflamed vascular endothelial cells (H2O2-pretreated HUVECs), and the mechanism is associated with the specific binding between SA and E-selectin receptor expressed on the inflamed vascular endothelial cells. Bio-distribution results further demonstrated the enhanced renal accumulation of DXM is achieved in AKI mice treated with SA-NPs, and its content is 2.70- and 5.88-fold higher than those treated with DXM and NPs at 6 h after intravenous administration, respectively. Pharmacodynamic studies demonstrate SA-NPs effectively ameliorate renal functions in AKI mice, as reflected by improved blood biochemical indexes, histopathological changes, oxidative stress levels and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, SA-NPs cause little negative effects on lymphocyte count and bone mineral density while DXM leads to severe osteoporosis. It is concluded that SA-NPs provide an efficient and targeted delivery of DXM for ischemia-reperfusion-induced injury-induced AKI, with improved therapeutic outcomes and reduced adverse effects.

description: Acclimation is the capacity to adapt to environmental changes within the lifetime of an individual. This ability allows plants to cope with the continuous variation in ambient conditions to which they are exposed as sessile organisms. Because environmental changes and extremes are becoming even more pronounced due to the current period of climate change, enhancing the efficacy of plant acclimation is a promising strategy for mitigating the consequences of global warming on crop yields. At the cellular level, the chloroplast plays a central role in many acclimation responses, acting both as a sensor of environmental change and as a target of cellular acclimation responses. In this Perspective article, we outline the activities of the Green Hub consortium funded by the German Science Foundation. The main aim of this research collaboration is to understand and strategically modify the cellular networks that mediate plant acclimation to adverse environments, employing Arabidopsis, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and Chlamydomonas as model organisms. These efforts will contribute to ‘smart breeding’ methods designed to create crop plants with improved acclimation properties. To this end, the model oilseed crop Camelina sativa is being used to test modulators of acclimation for their potential to enhance crop yield under adverse environmental conditions. Here we highlight the current state of research on the role of gene expression, metabolism and signalling in acclimation, with a focus on chloroplast‐related processes. In addition, further approaches to uncovering acclimation mechanisms derived from systems and computational biology, as well as adaptive laboratory evolution with photosynthetic microbes, are highlighted.

description: The extent to which mothers achieve specific physical and psychosocial tasks during the first 6 weeks postpartum and their readiness to return to work was studied.  A convenience sample of 94 subjects with 24 active duty primiparas, 14 active duty multiparas, 23 nonmilitary primiparas, and 32 nonmilitary multiparas was drawn from 20 sites across the United States.  The study had the dual purpose of developing a tool with statistical reliability for data collection and to gather initial descriptive data concerning postpartum physical and psychosocial recovery during the first 6 weeks postpartum and subject readiness to return to work.  A mailed questionnaire with subject response at weekly intervals for the first 6 weeks postpartum was used to collect data.  An analysis of the data showed no demographic differences between groups twice as many military women return to work at week 6 postpartum than nonmilitary women.  Overall, psychosocial postpartum recovery in only in beginning stages during the first 6 weeks postpartum while physical recovery is rapid to advanced stages, with temporary interruptions at weeks 2 and 5 postpartum, in uncomplicated labors and births of all groups.  As regards postpartum task resolution and work, the military multipara made the most positive toward attainment and maintenance of maternal role over 6 weeks active duty women who returned to work had the highest attainment of maternal role scores at week 6 postpartum.
