Glass is a viable substrate for atomic force microscopy of membrane proteins : abstract submitted for the PSF13 Meeting of the American Physical Society
(2013)
Abstract submitted for the PSF13 Meeting of The American Physical Society: Since its invention in the mid-1980s, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become an invaluable complementary tool for studying membrane proteins ...
Development and utility of the online priority health index [Abstract]
(2016)
Abstract of a paper presented at the 4th International Conference on Medical Informatics & Telehealth, 2016: Because public health funds are limited we created the priority health Indices (PHIs) for diseases (PHI-DZ) and ...
Defined contribution plan deferral : what are participants doing?
(2013)
Abstract only. Abstract: Using the 2004, 2007 and 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, this study examines the trend of defined contribution (DC) retirement plan deferral over time. "Buy low and sell high" is an incredibly ...
Behavior perspectives on making investment mistakes
(2015)
Abstract only. Abstract: Classic economics theory assumes individual are completely informed and rational when making decisions. However, in reality, decision makers go through both a rational and an emotional process in ...
Glass : a multi-platform specimen supporting substrate for precision single molecule studies of membrane proteins : [abstract]
(2015)
Abstract in program book: High resolution (~ 1 nm lateral resolution) biological AFM imaging has been carried out almost exclusively using freshly cleaved mica as a specimen supporting surface, but mica suffers from a ...
Glass is a viable substrate for atomic force microscopy of membrane proteins : [abstract]
(2014)
Abstract in program book: Since its invention in the mid-1980s, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become an invaluable complementary tool for studying membrane proteins in near-native environments. Historically, mica ...
An Electro-magnetic cell stimulator [abstract]
(2010-03)
A device to stimulate bone and muscle cell growth and possibly for treatment of bone and muscle injuries is presented. The device, called EStim, generates electric and magnetic pulses at programmable intervals. This device ...
Clinical Translation of Nanopharmaceuticals for Cancer Therapy [abstract]
(2010-02)
The most recent study involving 77,000 North American men has shown that regular prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening did not provide accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer and therefore did not save lives of cancer ...
Acid-sensing ion channels as a novel target for drug addiction [abstract]
(2010-03)
Improving the treatment and prevention of drug addiction is an important goal for modern medicine. Ion channels have recently become very attractive targets in the search of new pharmacotherapies. Extracellular proton ...
Creation of 'Super Avastin': A New Nanomedicine Approach for the Treatment of PXE and AMD [abstract]
(2010-02)
Nanomedicine is an emerging medical area that utilizes nanoparticles for the detection and treatment of diseases. The ubiquitous place of gold in Nanomedicine stems from its chemical ability to serve in an unoxidized state ...
Nanostructures for Diagnostics and Delivery [abstract]
(2010)
Nanostructures are increasingly being recognized for their novel applications in biological systems including nanomedicine— the application of nanoscale technologies for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases. ...
Temporal trends in the management of severe hyperglycemia among patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction [abstract]
(2010)
Background: Elevated blood glucose (BG) is associated with an adverse prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. While guidelines recommend insulin therapy to lower markedly elevated BG in AMI patients, it ...
Inhibition Mechanism of EFdA, a Highly Potent Inhibitor of HIV Reverse Transcriptase [abstract]
(2010-02)
The nucleoside 4'-ethynyl-2-fluoro-deoxyadenosine (EFdA) is one of the most
potent antiretroviral nucleosides yet described, inhibiting replication of wild-type and multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strains in vitro (PBMC cells) ...
Detection of microrna expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded materials with fluorescent in situ hybridization [abstract]
(2010-02)
Non-coding regulatory RNAs designated microRNAs (miRNA) are small single-stranded RNAs that may suppress the protein outcome of target messenger RNAs and thereby regulate gene expression networks. To facilitate delineation ...
Craniofacial developmental instability and masticatory behavior [abstract]
(2010-02)
Environmental stress related to changes in dietary behavior or composition may alter the course of growth, manifesting in the phenotype as developmental instability. Two potential measures of instability, morphological ...
Crystallization and structure determination of a PNGM from Bacillus Anthracis [abstract]
(2010-02)
The enzyme phosphoglucosamine mutase catalyzes the conversion of glucosamine 6-phosphate to glucosamine 1-phosphate, an early step in the formation of the nucleotide sugar UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. In bacteria UDP-N-acety ...
Comparative analysis of pedicle screw failure in human cadaver vertebrae using simulated in vivo loading [abstract]
(2010-02)
Objective: Compare a clinically applicable method of testing pedicle screw failure in human cadaver osteoporotic vertebrae to previously studied synthetic bone. Background: Most studies in osteoporotic vertebrae lack a ...
A comparison of forearm bone mineral density among collegiate gymnasts, distance runners, and non-athletes [abstract]
(2010-02)
Purpose: Low regional bone mineral density (BMD) has been correlated with increased fracture incidence in several body regions. Higher forearm BMD has been observed in athletes of several impact loading sports and decreases ...
