Are drug therapies effective in treating Bell's palsy?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2003)
therapy may improve recovery rates compared with prednisone alone (SOR: C). The results of 1 nonblinded study indicate that intramuscular methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) used alone or in combination with prednisone may shorten time to recovery (SOR: C)....
What are the best treatments for herpes labialis?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2007)
There are 3: valacyclovir, acyclovir, and topical penciclovir. Valacyclovir, 2g twice in 1 day taken during the prodromal stage of herpes labialis, reduces the episode duration and time to healing. Acyclovir, 400 mg, taken 5 times a day for 5 days...
Optimal designs for response functions with a downturn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In many toxicological assays, interactions between primary and secondary effects may cause a downturn in mean responses at high doses. In this situation, the typical...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll (Chl), fecal...
Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
spherical multicomponent assemblies via the selfassembly approach. Chapter 2 will describe the formation of very large molecular capsules based upon the self-assembly of six macrocycles called the C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes. These molecular capsules are held...
Anisotropic organic materials : ferroelectric crystals and spin-polarized radicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene is analyzed with various methods. Toward quasienantiomeric non-linear crystals, 1- methyl-1,3,6-triphenyl-7-(E-2-phenylpropenyl)-1,2-dihydronaphthalene is probed in molecular interactions, synthesis, and chiral separation. In Chapter...
Neutron diffraction studies on ABO₃ (A=La, Sr, B=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Ti) perovskite used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and double perovskite Ba₂YRu[0.85-subscript]Cu[0.15-subscript]O₆ superconductor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
and a mixture of 5wt% YBa₂Cu₃O₇₋[delta subscript] and undoped Ba₂YRuO₆ were investigated with the aid of neutron diffraction. The 1:1 B site ordering is observed and long range antiferromagnetic ordering of the Ru sublattice with a type I magnetic...
What dietary modifications are indicated for migraines?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2006)
Migraine frequency, duration, and severity are not increased by dietary choices (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, individual randomized trial [RCT]); they can be decreased by a low-fat diet (SOR: B). Regular supplementation with high...
Land Owner Characteristics and Perceptions in Northeast and Southeast Missouri: The Economic and Social Value of Flood Plain Agroforestry to Rural Development Projects
(2003-11)
of choices that individuals and their families in rural areas pursue in their livelihood strategies. This study aims at understanding the characteristics of land owners that are not engaged in farming, and who may be interested in agroforestry practices....
A therapist survey of evidence-based practices in publicly funded youth mental health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
for implementing transdiagnostic EBT strategies over both (a) EBT strategies specific to a particular patient presentation (e.g., exposure for anxiety) and (b) strategies without a strong evidence base (e.g., pleasant activity scheduling for conduct problems). We...
What is the best treatment for diabetic neuropathy?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2004)
in relieving painful diabetic neuropathy. Compared with placebo, patients taking tricyclic antidepressants report reduced pain (number needed to treat [NNT] for at least 50% reduction= 3.5) (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A). Similarly, patients taking...
Part I: Synthesis of functionalized bile acids towards the construction of steroidal macrocycles. Part II: Evaluation and expansion of a modular card game for teaching organic chemistry
(2019)
macrocycles. These have been coupled together via oxygen-free Sonogashira reaction conditions to form large barrel-like steroidal architectures. These structures were investigated by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and HR-MS, and MALDI-TOF spectroscopy. In part...
Structure-function studies of the staphylococcal complement inhibitor protein family
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
of the complement cascade, called C3b. Among these complement-targeted bacterial inhibitors, are the so-called Staphylococcal Complement Inhibitors (SCINs). SCINs are of particular interest because they stabilize a catalytically-inactive form of the key enzymatic...
Essays on inequality and mobility of Korean households' income and consumption
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
and mobility of income and consumption better than the conventional model that assume iid income shocks. At the chapter 3, we deal with non-classical measurement errors in consumption using a double-differencing correction method. Aguiar and Bils (2015) develop...
Ab initio computational applications of electronic structure and spectroscopic Properties of bulk Crystalline materials
