Subjects: Women's Hospital
Utah

description: A survey of women's interests in alternative maternity facilities was conducted in Salt Lake County.  The survey sought to answer the following questions:  (a) Is there a market for alternative maternity facilities (birthing suite, birth center and homebirth service) in Salt Lake County?  (b) What are the characteristics of women who would have an interest in using alternative maternity facilities?  (c) What are possible obstacles to marketing these alternative maternity facilities?  The sample consisted of 100 women between the ages of 15 to 39 who might have children within the next 10 years, but excluded currently pregnant women.  The sample was composed of two groups:  59 women who never had had a previous childbirth experience and 50 women who had had a previous childbirth experience.  The total sample was obtained by a random cluster sampling method.  The survey was conducted through a personal interview using a structured questionnaire.  The survey results demonstrated that women do have an interest in alternative maternity facilities, the birthing suite having the greatest market potential.  There were no significant differences between women who preferred the traditional maternity facility, birth suite, birth center and homebirth on the following variables:  Age, years of education, religion, annual income and parity.  Therefore, characteristics of women who prefer each alternative maternity facility were not identified by this survey.  Several obstacles to marketing alternative maternity facilities were identified.  These included informational needs of women, influence of previous experience with the maternity care system and the importance of safety, personal doctor and cost.

description: Given high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios, sandwich composite  materials are continually being considered for automotive applications. Thermoplastic  materials, while difficult to bond, have an increased ease of manufacture and are  recyclable making them even more attractive than thermoset composites. This  investigation evaluates the adhesion of 13 adhesives with 8 surface treatments on both  nylon and polypropylene thermoplastic adherends made from Towflex® preimpregnated  fabric. A method of manufacture of these plates without contaminating  the bonding surface while establishing an acceptable surface finish was developed.  Adhesives and surface treatments were investigated and the candidates with the  greatest likelihood of success without overlap were chosen. Initial testing was  performed using the qualitative spot adhesion test (ASTM D3808) to identify the most  likely adhesive and surface treatment parameter groups with each thermoplastic.  From these results, 10 parameter groups were identified and tested quantitatively using  the lap shear test (ASTM D 3163). Comparative bond strengths are calculated from  the peak load and bonded area of each specimen. The results for the nylon were  similar between the two tests, but the polypropylene was generally inconsistent. The  results indicate that further testing to completely develop joining methods with nylon  thermoplastic treated at least with an acid wash and bonded with Lord 320/322 could  result in a method of adhesively joining thermoplastic sandwich composites.

description: A nonexperimental, descriptive correlational design was used to test the relationship between fetal activity and subsequent infant temperament.  Thirty-eight primigravida women, at low risk for adverse obstetrical outcomes, were recruited from childbirth preparation classes.  Fetal activity was assessed between 35-39 weeks for both a Nonstress  Test (NST) recording and a maternal fetal movement count (FMC) log.  Two months after birth, infant temperament was rated by the mother using the Rothbart Infant Temperament Questionnaire (RITQ).  A significant relationship was found between fetal activity and the rating of the infant activity at 2 months of age.  The most consistent correlation was found between the measure of maternal perception of fetal activity and maternal perception of infant activity.  The finding from this study suggest that maternal perception of fetal activity and the FMC score do measure common features of fetal activity and are related to maternal perception of infant activity at 2 months of age.
Structure of the small ribosomal subunit

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Genetics
subject: FOS: Biological sciences
subject: Nucleotides

description: The ribosome is one of the most important components of the cell. It is solely responsible for protein synthesis in every organism. Aside from its biological interest, the ribosome is potent target for many antibiotics used in medicine and biology. Biochemists have studied the ribosome for decades, yet the details of ribosome mechanism have always been elusive. The introductory first chapter gives a history of ribosome research with an emphasis on structural studies. Protein crystallography was used to determine the atomic structure of the small ribosomal subunit. In the process of doing this two intermediate stages were reached. The first of the stages was the atomic structure of ribosomal protein S 15 from Bacillus stearothermophilus and is detailed in Chapter 2. The second stage was the medium resolution structure of the entire small subunit from Thermus thermophilus and is described in Chapter 3. These results facilitated the 3Å structure of the whole of the structure of the small subunit detailed in Chapter 4. The aim of this thesis is to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the interest in ribosome structural work along with explaining the functional insights gleaned from the structure of the small ribosomal subunit.

description: The host, the parasite, and the vector each shape disease dynamics. Vector-borne parasites spread by (1) getting into the next vertebrate host from an infected vector, and (2) getting into the next vector from an infected vertebrate host. I use an experimental approach to investigate pairwise interactions between organisms in a system composed of a vertebrate host, the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia), a hippoboscid fly vector (Pseudolynchia canariensis), and a malaria parasite of the pigeon (Haemoproteus columbae). Ultimately, such studies may reveal how ecological interactions shape evolutionary processes. Transmission requires an infected vector bite a vertebrate host. Fewer parasites would be transmitted if hosts could defend themselves against vectors. I tested the effectiveness of anti-vector defense by manipulating two pigeon defenses against flies: preening and antibody responses. Each independently decreased fly longevity and the defenses work additively. However, they were ineffective in decreasing malaria parasite transmission. This ineffectiveness may have little immediate consequence for the pigeon. In a field experiment H. columbae had no effect on nestling pigeon growth, survival, or fledging success. This was surprising since H. columbae is correlated with lower survival in older pigeons; however, nestling pigeons are provided a particularly rich diet by both parents and may be tolerant to infection. To complete transmission, the vector must bite an infected vertebrate host, but the effect of the infected blood on the arthropod host is unknown. I found malaria parasites decrease fly survival and fecundity, but only for female flies. Both sexes feed on blood and transmit parasites, but the comparatively high female reproductive costs may decrease infection tolerance through energetic constraints. Females also take larger meals to fuel reproduction, which may increase their exposure to parasites. In my work I found malaria harms arthropod hosts more than vertebrate hosts, counter to the conventional wisdom that a parasite should not harm its vector. However, if a "vector" is defined by host mobility, pigeons may be the actual vectors in this system compared to the more sedentary flies. Disease dynamics here may also differ because both fly sexes transmit the parasite. These two points warrant further investigation.

description: Precast concrete flooring systems are a fast and cost-competitive construction method. There are currently a number of precast products on the market, such as hollowcore decks, and double-T decks. Hollowcore decks and double-T decks have been on the market for a number of years. These systems have been shown to perform well under typical building loads. Recently, a number of other precast systems have been brought to the market. These systems include biaxial hollowcore decks, filigrees, and the Plattforms Flooring System. The newer systems have not had the same "proof testing" that the more seasoned precast systems have faced. All new systems must be tested and analyzed prior to using them in a structure. Most tests performed on precast systems are uniform or symmetric loads placed on a single panel. Typical building loads are never uniform. Concentrated loads can occur in nearly every building type and at almost any location on the floor plate. These concentrated loads will typically create asymmetrical loadings on a given panel. The asymmetrical load on a single panel will affect the nearby panels. Typical uniform loading tests on a single panel do not quantify the effects of asymmetrical loads on a flooring system. In order to analyze the effect an asymmetrical load has on a flooring system, a method has been developed of modeling a single panel connected to a simple substructure that mimics the stiffness of adjacent panels in the floor. By using this substructure, the effect of loading a single panel with a concentrated load can be analyzed for an entire floor plate.

Kotzebue (Alaska)-Social conditions

description: Kotzebue was selected initially as a field setting in which to study changing kinship and residence of an Alaskan Eskimo group because of the present high level of acculturation in the community and because I had had prior experience there at a time when it was still essentially an Eskimo village. As reconstruction of the aboriginal culture progressed, it became apparent that the Kikitarmiut Eskimo living along the eastern margins of Kotzebue Sound were a separate ethnic and dialect group; the scope of the paper was expanded accordingly. The aboriginal Eskimo who inhabited the area occupied a small but distinct ecological niche in the Arctic coast line of Alaska. As a result, their land-use and customs differed somewhat from those of other Alaskan Eskimo. Their unique location on the sheltered and quiet waters of kotzebue Sound, at a point adjacent to the mouths of three large Alaskan rivers, provided the setting for the development of a trading complex whose influence was felt throughout the Alaskan Arctic. Stefansson notes that rivers figured importantly in aboriginal trade only in Alaska and Hudson Bay, and that those in the hinterland of Kotzebue were among the principal Western arteries of commerce (1914a, p.3). The aboriginal Eskimo at kotzebue became entrepreneurs and traveled widely. By the latter part of the nineteenth century, individual Eskimo were using scraps of brown paper upon which to make maps of their journeys, indicating the villages visited and, by pictographs, the articles exchanged there (Nelson, 1899, p.198).

Repetition

description: This research presents questions and ideas about repetition and metaphor. It addresses the question: What is it about repetition that drives home a point, unravels ideas and opinions, and creates metaphor and connection to lived experiences?  The thesis explores a very personal experience of dysfunctional repetition and the journey of using productive repetition to break that cycle. This allowed me to reflect upon who I was before this experience and the process of discovering my missing self and capabilities afterwards.  In various chapters, I reflect upon the tools used in the creative process to facilitate metaphor through repetition and gesture. I explore personal metaphors that  arose throughout the creation and the lessons learned from experiencing these metaphors. Finally, I share how this process has changed me as a person and the impact it will have on my artistic journey throughout this life.

description: Fingerspelling in American Sign Language (ASL) is a system in which 26 onehanded signs represent the letters of the English alphabet and are formed sequentially to spell out words borrowed from oral languages or letter sequences. Patrie and Johnson have proposed a distinction in fingerspelling styles between careful fingerspelling and rapid fingerspelling, which appear to correspond to clear speech and plain speech styles. The criteria for careful fingerspelling include indexing of fingerspelled words, completely spelled words, limited coarticulation, a slow signing rate, and even rhythm, while rapid fingerspelling involves lack of indexing, increased dropping of letters, coarticulation, a faster signing rate, and the first and last letter of the words being held longer. They further propose that careful fingerspelling is used for initial uses of all fingerspelled words in running signing, with rapid fingerspelling being used for second and further mentions of fingerspelled words. I examine the 45 fingerspelled content words in a speech given by a Deaf native signer using quantitative measures, including a Coarticulation Index that permits comparing the degree of coarticulation in different words. I find that first mentions are more hyperarticulated than second mentions but that not all first mentions are hyperarticulated to the same extent and that topicality of the words may have bearing on this. I also show that the reduction of fingerspelled words is consistent with the reduction seen in repeated words in spoken English.
Automatic data acquistion from blood gas analyzers

Subjects: Medical Informatics Computing
Software

description: Software was developed to allow the existing Medical Information Bus (MIB) system at LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah, to transmit data from blood gas analyzers directly to a host computer for integration into the patient database.  Software for this project was developed to interface with Radiometer ABL 3, Radiometer ABL 330, Corning 178 blood gas analyzers, and the Radiometer OSM 3 hemoximeter.  It was hypothesized that acquisition of arterial blood gas data via the MIB would increase efficiency of data entry and eliminate data entry errors.  Data collected from analyzers were: hydrogen ion concentration (pH), partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pcO2), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), carboxyhemoglobin concentration (COHb), methemoglobin concentration (MetHb), and reduced hemoglobin concentration (RHb).  Values of these parameters were collected automatically, stored temporarily, checked by technicians for accuracy, integrated with additional keyboard-entered data, and stored for further analysis and reporting by LDS Hospital's computerized hospital information system.  Automatic blood gas data acquisitions via the MIB and data retrieval of current respiratory care parameters were evaluated.  MIB use for data acquisition increased the accuracy of data entry from 99.72% to 100.00% although the time taken to enter the data did not change significantly (manual = 194.90 sec., MIV = 203 sec.).  Times taken for the laboratory supervisor to review and correct the log of data did not differ between programs (review: manual = 14.76 sec. /sample, MIB = 14.46 sec. /sample; correct; manual = 1.92 sec. /sample, MIB = 1.44 sec. /sample).  Questionnaires assessing user's opinions of the MIB versus manual entry program revealed that either method of data was entry was acceptable.  Search retrieval for previous respiratory care data from the computerized database for integration with blood gas data indicated a poor correlation with values acquired by blood gas technicians at the time of sample drawing.  The percent of values matching ranged from 5.6% to 57.3% sample at 1 moth after MIB program implementation to 0.0% to 61.8% at 5 months after.  The program was accepted by the technicians and supervisors because of increased accuracy although it did not decrease the time taken to enter the data into the computer. Because of the decrease errors, review of the log for automatically correct values has ceased and conserves supervisory time.  Automatic data acquisition from blood gas analyzers is seen as useful and achievable goal and under certain circumstance, may determine the correct  course for patient care.

Glutamate, characterization of its role in methamphetamine neurotoxicity and its interaction with dopamine in the rat striatum
Creators: name: Elayan, Ikram Mohammad
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Neurotoxicity
Cerebellar Granule Cells

description: Systemic administration of methamphetamine (Meth) causes neurochemical deficits in terminals of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. The mechanism by which Meth causes this neurotoxicity is still not known. Several investigators have suggested that the excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate (Glu), participates in mediating this neurotoxicity. The current study was conducted to investigate the role of Meth on Glu release by utilizing both in vitro and in vivo systems. Incubation of glutamatergic neurons with Meth in vitro failed to release Glu from these neurons. Also, perfusing striatal slices with Meth, in vitro, failed to release Glu from these slices. These results suggested that a complete neuronal circuit might be needed in order for Meth to affect Glu release in the striatum. Therefore, in vivo microdialysis techniques were utilized to investigate the release of Glu in the striatum. No difference was observed in Glu levels in perfusates of animals treated with a single dose of Meth, administered ten minutes after a single dose of iprindole, in comparison to control animals. When DL-threo-$/beta$-hydroxyaspartic acid, a Glu uptake blocker, was given with Meth, Glu concentrations in striatal dialysate of rats treated with Meth + blocker were significantly higher than those in the blocker alone-treated group. These higher levels of striatal Glu in response to Meth treatment may contribute to Meth neurotoxicity since Glu causes neurotoxicity. Perfusion of the Glu uptake blocker alone into the striatum increased Glu levels in the extracellular space. These levels of Glu were maintained only for 1 h and then declined to almost 50% of the peak value even though the blocker was continuously administered through the dialysis probe. Haloperidol, a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, and 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoylbenzo(F)-quinoxaline (NBQX), a non-N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) Glu receptor antagonist, partially inhibited this decline in Glu levels. These results may be due to an inhibitory effect of dopamine on Glu release in the striatum through a D2 receptor. The finding that NBQX partially blocked this decline in Glu levels raises the possibility of an inhibitory non-NMDA autoreceptor on the corticostriatal pathway. The Glu uptake blocker alone also increased extracellular DA levels in the striatum, which is the first report of this phenomenon.

description: This thesis describes the synthesis and properties of free-standing nanoporous silica colloidal membranes where the molecular transport is controlled on the basis of size, charge, and chiral selectivity. To achieve this, free-standing membranes were prepared from colloidal solutions of silica nanospheres and the nanopore size and surface functionality were varied. First, Au-coated membranes were prepared and the transport of neutral and charged small molecules through Au-coated silica colloidal membranes modified with poly(methacrylic acid) was studied. Polymer length was controlled by polymerization time to produce pH- and ion-responsive brushes inside the nanopores. By monitoring the flux of a diffusing species, it was demonstrated that the polyelectrolyte brush undergoes swelling and collapse when the pH is increased and decreased, respectively. We also observed an expansion and contraction in the absence and presence of counterions (e.g., Na+(aq) and cationic dye Rhodamine B), respectively. We studied the transport of enantiomers of a chiral dye molecule through silica colloidal membranes with attached chiral moieties. We used small molecules and polymers of amino acid derivatives and chiral calixarenes capable of chiral recognition as a result of stereochemically dependent noncovalent interactions with the diffusing molecule. We found that the selectivity remains approximately the same for membranes modified with small molecules and with polymers. This suggests that enantiopermselectivity depends primarily on the strength of noncovalent interactions rather than the availability of recognition sites. Next, the transport of various generations of dendrimers through silica colloidal membranes was studied in a proof-of-concept experiment to demonstrate the size-selectivity of our materials. Smaller dendrimers were found to diffuse faster and selectivity is improved by using smaller nanopores. Finally, the transport of proteins through silica colloidal membranes was studied as a function of nanopore size and surface functionality. Poly(ethylene glycol) chains were attached inside the nanopores to minimize nonspecific protein adsorption. The membranes exhibit size-selectivity where smaller proteins generally diffused faster. From the results of this preliminary investigation, we propose that protein-nanopore interactions also affect diffusion rates and selectivity.

description: The metabolism of xenobiotics by extrahepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) may be integral in the development of organ-selective toxicities. Some xenobiotics also induce extrahepatic P450, and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-type agents are generally considered the most effective inducers in the rat. N-benzylimidazole (NBI), induced rat hepatic P450 in a PAH-type manner; therefore, the effects of NBI and 15 other nitrogen heterocycles on P450 in rat kidney, lung and intestine were investigated. Those compounds that were high magnitude inducers of hepatic P450 also induced in some extrahepatic tissues, but, only two, NBI and N-methylnaphthylimidazole (NMN), induced in all four tissues. Induction was greater in kidney and intestine than in lung, but, except for induction by NBI and NMN, the degree did not approach that seen in liver. Several compounds induced extrahepatic P450 isozymes (determined by monooxygenase activities) that are not induced by PAHs, but interorgan inconsistencies in the extent and the pattern of isozyme induction were observed. Further investigations revealed that these interorgan inconsistencies in induction were probably not caused by the persistence of residual inhibitory nitrogen heterocycle, since evidence for the persistence of NBI in liver (inhibition of monooxygenase activities relative to P450, slowed development of CO-ferrous P450 spectra, and alteration of type II binding characteristics) and in extrahepatic tissues (alteration of type II binding characteristics) was not consistent with the degree of P450 induction by NBI in the tissues. The yield of hepatic, but not extrahepatic, microsomes was decreased by 30-40% by three compounds, including NBI. Further studies with NBI indicated that the decreased yield was due to an alteration of the sedimentation properties of hepatic subcellular organelles, which resulted in an increased loss of microsomes and mitochondria from liver homogenates during low-speed centrifugation. The ramifications of renal P450 induction by nitrogen heterocycles to the development of chloroform nephrotoxicity were investigated using a rat kidney slice model. The results of these and additional studies with other inducers and with P450 inhibitors were inconclusive, suggesting that the rat kidney slice model may not be valid when nephrotoxicity is thought to arise from reactive metabolites generated by P450.
Intrauterine growth restriction alters essential fatty acid ratios and essential fatty acid conversion enzymes in a sex-specific manner in the rat
Creators: name: Hurdman, Courtney Anne

description: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) increases the risk of chronic lung disease (CLD), and males have worse outcomes. Altered ratios of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) in preterm infants are associated with increased risk of CLD. Conversion of omega-6 and omega-3 EFAs require the same set of EFA conversion enzymes. We hypothesized that IUGR would alter EFA ratios and EFA conversion enzymes in a sex-specific manner in fetal serum, liver and lung. Because maternal docosahexanoic acid (DHA) supplementation has been shown to ameliorate lung dysfunction in IUGR rats, we further hypothesized that alterations in EFA ratios and EFA conversion enzymes would be ameliorated with maternal DHA supplementation. We found that IUGR altered EFA ratios and EFA conversion enzymes in a sex-specific manner. IUGR induced changes in male circulating EFAs that correlate with EFA ratios seen in male preterm infants at increased risk for CLD. Maternal DHA supplementation ameliorated the altered circulating EFAs in male IUGR rats. IUGR induced changes in liver and lung EFA conversion enzyme mRNA and protein did not explain alterations in circulating and lung EFA ratios. We conclude that IUGR induces sex-specific changes in circulating EFA ratios and liver EFA conversion enzymes in newborn IUGR rat pups. We speculate that IUGR induced changes in EFA levels may occur as a result of alterations in placental EFA transfer, and that IUGR impacts placental transfer of EFAs in a sex-specific manner.

Using tropical warm pool-international cloud experiment observations to evaluate and improve high resolution simulations of tropical convective precipitation systems

description: Ten separate idealized cloud-resolving model (CRM) and four separate nested limited area model (LAM) three-dimensional simulations having horizontal grid spacing of ~1 km and ~75-100 vertical levels are compared to observations during the active monsoon period of the Tropical Warm Pool - International Cloud Experiment, based in Darwin, Australia, with specific focus on a large mesoscale convective system observed on January 23-24, 2006. All simulations produce high biased convective radar reflectivity and low biased stratiform rainfall with these biases heavily modulated by bulk microphysics scheme assumptions. High biased convective radar reflectivity aloft always involves a graupel/hail component, but also includes a snow component for some two-moment schemes. Making snow particle mass proportional to ~D2 rather than D3 may lower snow reflectivity. This high bias is also related to freezing of very large simulated rain water contents in deep convective updrafts. Peak vertical velocities are greater than dual-Doppler retrieved values, especially in the upper troposphere likely due to greater latent heating from freezing and deposition in simulations. A subdomain LES simulation also produces overly intense simulated updrafts. Therefore, they may be a product of interactions between convective dynamics and parameterized microphysics that promote a different convective mode and strength than observed, while inadequately simulated instability and vertical shear variability may also be involved. Two-moment schemes do not outperform one-moment schemes in stratiform rainfall prediction. Excessive size sorting produces more large stratiform raindrops at low levels than observed in two-moment schemes. One-moment schemes produce too many small stratiform raindrops relative to observed because constant size intercepts are too high. Increasing the rain gamma shape parameter from 0 to 2.5 improves agreement with observations. Due to differences in raindrop size that create different mass sedimentation rates, low-level stratiform liquid water contents are close to observed in one-moment schemes, but lower than observed in two-moment schemes. Low biased stratiform rainfall is primarily due to an under-prediction of melting ice consistent with the lack of a large well-developed stratiform region in simulations. This may be caused by overly intense simulated convection, limited domain size in the CRM simulations, and large-scale forcing biases in the LAM simulations.

Relationship between cause-specific mortality and temperature inversions in the Salt Lake Valley

description: During winter months the Salt Lake Valley can be covered by a thick dense fog, known as a temperature inversion, for a few days to several weeks.  Cold temperatures remain trapped on the valley floor while warmer air circulates above the cold mass.  This study examined the relationships between (a) air pollutants and temperature inversions and (b) cause-specific mortality and temperature inversions.  No previous investigation of this type has been accomplished for Salt Lake Valley.  This investigation will add to the understanding of air quality during temperature inversions and whether a mortality burden accompanies such events in the Salt Lake Valley. Daily data were collected on clearing index (a quantitative measurement for temperature inversion) and four major pollutants measured by the Bureau of Air Quality - Utah Department of Health from January 1,   1981 to December 31, 1983.  During the same time period, mortality data were collected, from the Bureau of Vital Statistics Utah Department of Health, on all pulmonary or cardiovascular deaths.  Of the four pollutants investigated, carbon monoxide was found to increase during temperature inversions.  It was, however, difficult to determine how much influence this increase of carbon monoxide has on the health of individuals breathing the air during these inversions.  Of greatest import to this investigation is the consistent relationship found between monthly mortality density ratios (greater than 1) and average monthly clearing index (less than 500 - indicative of a temperature inversion). Five of the 36 months demonstrated this relationship, whereas the remainder (31 months) had a mortality density ratio less than 1 and an average clearing index greater than 500.  This relationship strongly implies cause-specific mortality is directly linked to temperature inversions or an entity of an inversion.
