Development of an in vitro model of quail vasculogenesis [abstract]
(2010-02)
Blood supply to virtually all tissues depends on endothelial cells, which form the linings of blood vessels. Growth and formation of endothelial cells occurs in two ways. Vasculogenesis describes the initial proliferation ...
Albuterol metered dose inhaler performance under hyperbaric pressures
(2010-02)
INTRODUCTION: The stimulus for this presentation was an asthma attack suffered on the first dive by a victim of a severe industrial electrical burn. The patient's response to albuterol metered dose inhaler (MDI) treatment ...
Applications of Energetic Materials and Copper Oxide Nanorods for Decontamination [abstract]
(2010-03)
We demonstrate the potential of nanoenergetic coatings and CuO nanorods to decontaminate surfaces infected with bacteria. The methods of decontamination include (i) fast combustion of an energetic paint applied on contaminated ...
Investigation and Optimization of Silorane-Based Polymer System [abstract]
(2010-03)
This research is a collaboration between Department of Oral Biology in the School of Dentistry at UMKC, Department of Chemistry in The College of Arts and Sciences at UMKC, Department of Chemistry at Missouri Science and ...
Translational Approach to Examine the Importance of Aerobic Fitness on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease [abstract]
(2010)
Low cardiorespiratory fitness, independent of physical activity levels, is the best predictor of early mortality and is linked to type 2 diabetes and CVD. In the absence of exercise training, it is believed that genetic ...
Derivation and characterization of LIF and FGF2 dependent Porcine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [abstract]
(2010-02)
Authentic embryonic stem cells (ESC) have probably never been derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pig, despite over 25 years of effort. Recently, several groups, including ours, have reported derivation of induced ...
The use of the Nintendo Wii for balance and cognition as a trement modality in occupational therapy in persons with multiple sclerosis for increased independence in activities of daily living [abstract]
(2010-03)
Objective: Examine the effectiveness of the Nintendo Wii on balance and cognition deficits to increase independence in activities of daily living for an individual with MS. Design: ABA single subject experimental design ...
Estrogen receptor and estrogen related receptor may corporatley regulate hypoxic gene expression [abstract]
(2010-03)
Tumor cells can undergo adaptation to the hypoxia environment created by rapid growth of tumor cells to persist growing. A main regulator of hypoxia induced gene expression is hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), and HIF can ...
Senator Bond's address to the Missouri Regional Life Sciences Summit 2010
(University of Missouri (System), 2010-03)
Missouri Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond addressed the Missouri Regional Life Sciences Summit 2010 on the importance of making Missouri a biotech corridor.
Targeting the guanylate cyclase c receptor with an agonist peptide from enterotoxegenic Y. Enterocolitica [abstract]
(2010-03)
Heat-stable enterotoxin peptides (ST's) are expressed by enterotoxigenic strains of bacteria in order to co-opt an endogenous ligand-receptor system that regulates fluid homeostasis within the gut. Bacteria such as E. coli, ...
How accurate is an MRI at diagnosing injured knee ligaments?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
MRI is highly accurate in diagnosing injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, prospective blinded cohort studies) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) (SOR: B, limited number ...
Welcome and keynote address [videorecording]
(University of Missouri (System), 2010)
