Theoretical landscape in condensed matter nuclear science consistent with phonon theory
(University of Missouri, 2013)
Since the initial report of anomalies in PdD by Fleischmann and Pons back in 1989, a variety of anomalies have been seen in experiments of all kinds over the years. Although there is not agreement within our field as to ...
177Lu radiolabeled peptides for breast cancer therapy [abstract]
(2010)
ErbB-2 is a type 1 receptor tyrosine kinase over-expressed on ~30% of breast cancers and is an attractive target for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The ErbB-2 avid peptide KCCYSL, originally ...
Intrinsic high aerobic capacity protects against lipid induced hepatic insulin resistance [abstract]
(2010)
Hepatic steatosis is commonly linked to hepatic insulin resistance. However, recent studies have found that increased hepatic triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation is not always associated with impaired hepatic insulin ...
Health literacy in two outpatient clinics [abstract]
(2010)
Health literacy is an emerging public health issue that affects all ages, races, cultures, and income levels. Furthermore, an individual's literacy skills tend to be a stronger predictor of health status than any other ...
Non-invasive blood glucose detector [abstract]
(2010-10)
Diabetes, a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, can lead to serious damage to many of the body's systems, including the nerves, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and heart. It is also a leading ...
An automatic cap arrangement scoring device [abstract]
(2010-10)
Poor color vision can be inherited (an estimated 8% of men and .5% of women have a congenital color vision defect) or acquired as the result of disease, certain medications, trauma, aging, or exposure to particular chemicals ...
Improved cardiac left ventricle imaging using multiparametric strain analysis (MPS) [abstract]
(2010-10)
This invention yields the most accurate and clinically useful predictor of myocardial viability - with no ionizing radiation or radioactive agents. The system is a software add-on to MRI systems that gives clear and ...
Low energy implantable cardioverters for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia [abstract]
(2010-10)
Cardialen develops low-energy implantable cardioverter devices to treat cardiac arrhythmias. Its primary focus is on atrial fibrillation (AF); its secondary focus on ventricular fibrillation (VF). AF affects over 3 million ...
Cell lines for the study of bone formation and regulation [abstract]
(2010-10)
UMKC Researchers have developed novel cell lines that are useful in the examination of osteocyte function, biomineralization, SOST/sclerostin, FGF23 and other mechanisms of osteoblast-to-osteocyte differentiation. The two ...
Dielectric constant of particles determined by impedance spectroscopy [abstract]
(2010-10)
A method of measuring the dielectric constant of a powder, including selecting a powder having an unknown first dielectric constant, selecting a liquid having a known second dielectric constant, and introducing a predetermined ...
SMAD-signaling inhibition : potential for developing newer treatments for corneal fibrosis [abstract]
(2010)
Transforming growth factor [beta] (TGFb) is known to cause fibrosis in the cornea following injury and/or infection. Effective reduction in corneal fibrosis has been reported by inhibiting TGFb activity. However, associated ...
Sphingosine analog AAL-R enhances dendritic cell responses upon TLR7 ligation [abstract]
(2010)
Sphingosine analogs display immune suppressive activities and thus have therapeutic potential in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. In this study, we investigated the effect of a sphingosine analog, AAL-R, on the host ...
Using neurofeedback training in children with autism spectrum disorder [abstract]
(2010)
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of neurofeedback training on improving attention and social responsiveness in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with ASD may experience such deficits due to ...
Screening and isolating eastern redcedar phytochemicals for creating economic opportunities in Missouri [abstract]
(2010-10)
Eastern Redcedar (ERC) is one of the most widely distributed tree species in Missouri. The ERC is an important source of bioactive secondary metabolites, but very few of these biologically active compounds have been ...
Removal of toxic contaminates from polluted soil and water via bioremediation utilizing bacillus spores [abstract]
(2010-10)
Atrazine, a widely used herbicide in North America, is one of the known pollutants that pose a potential threat to human health. The addition of naturally occurring degradative bacteria that can remediate these pollutants ...
Targeted antisense radiotherapy [abstract]
(2010-10)
Cancer is the one of the leading causes of death worldwide. While huge strides have been made in the treatment of various cancers, there is still a critical need for effective therapeutics that only target and kill the ...
Classification of Body Motions Based on Posturographic Data [abstract]
(2010)
Introduction: The human body, while standing, can be modeled as an unstable feedback system. This produces a continuous sway pattern, which manifests itself as varying ground reactions that are measured with force plates ...
INFORMER and Potassium Values: A system to enhance detection, notification, and action upon a threat to patient safety in the emergency department [abstract]
(2010)
Background: Quick remediation should occur after critically abnormal potassium levels are detected by the medical laboratory in blood from emergency department (ED) patients. Critical potassium levels can be elevated ...
