Anatomy, histology, and ontogeny of the sesamoid cartilage in the jaw muscles of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) [abstract]
(2010)
The cartilago transiliens is a characteristic cartilaginous nodule inside crocodilian jaw muscles. Encased by a fibrous sheath, the cartilago transiliens lies between the pterygoid buttress and the mandible, providing ...
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 ...
AAV5-mediated targeted decorin gene therapy : effective and safe for corneal fibrosis [abstract]
(2010)
Corneal fibrosis is 3rd leading cause of global blindness according to WHO report. At
present, no agents are proven to clinically reduce corneal fibrosis without causing significant side effects. It was hypothesized that ...
Characterization of pericyte invasive responses and pericyte-induced vascular morphogenesis in 3D matrices : distinctions with vascular smooth muscle cells [abstract]
(2010)
During vascular morphogenic events, mural cells are recruited to developing endothelial tubes to aid in stabilization and maturation of the new vessels. There are two known types of mural cells, pericytes and vascular ...
Caring for diverse populations : further steps towards increasing cultural humility in the UMHS primary catchment area [abstract]
(2010)
Cultural humility has long been identified as key to effectively working in diverse populations. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of cultural humility in health care provider education. Over the past several ...
Coalition capacity assessment of Columbia coalitions for a healthier Columbia (a qualitative assessment) [abstract]
(2010)
Obesity is one of the leading public health concerns in the United States in adults and children. This qualitative study focused on five coalitions involved in addressing this issue in Columbia, MO. The coalitions are ...
Affects of the inhibition of microRNA regulatory machinery in lymphoma cells [abstract]
(2010)
MicroRNAs influence many processes such as development, cell proliferation and differentiation and cell death. MicroRNAs are intergrated into a complex called RISC with Argonatue proteins to target mRNAs. Recent studies ...
Development and function of the mandibular symphysis in mammals [abstract]
(2010)
The mandibular symphysis is the midsagittal articulation between left and right dentaries that is the third jaw joint of the mammalian feeding complex. There is remarkable evolutionary diversity in symphyseal anatomy that ...
Development of high throughput tissue analysis laboratory [abstract]
(2010)
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising binary radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. In order for this therapy to succeed, non-toxic compounds carrying boron-10 must be successfully ...
The effectiveness of bilateral versus unilateral task retraining using the SaeboFlex device in individuals with subacute and chronic stroke [abstract]
(2010)
This study compares the effectiveness of unilateral and bilateral task retraining
using the SaeboFlex orthosis in individuals with upper extremity (UE) dysfunction following a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). While ...
Effect of a primed goal of patient safety on patient risk detection [abstract]
(2010)
The ability of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to detect potential adverse events in critically ill patients is strongly influenced by the environment in which they function. Features of social environments, such as ...
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) augments synaptic neurotransmission in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) [abstract]
(2010)
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter generated through the metabolism of cysteine to serine. In the central nervous system, H2S is produced primarily by the enzyme cystanthionine [beta]-synthase (CBS). The brainstem ...
Insulin-mediated increases in arterial baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity following meal intake in humans [abstract]
(2010)
Animal studies indicate that insulin enhances arterial baroreflex (ABR) control of sympathetic nerve activity (SNA); however, the extent to which these findings can be extrapolated to humans is unknown. To begin to address ...
Interspecific and ontogenetic variation in great ape pedal phalangeal curvature [abstract]
(2010)
Considerable attention has been devoted to understanding phalangeal curvature in primates, particularly with regard to hominid locomotor evolution. It is received wisdom that phalangeal curvature is an adaptation for ...
Lawnmower injuries : avoidable morbidity/mortality? [abstract]
(2010-03)
Background: Lawnmower injuries are common around the world. We analyze our institution's experience, discuss the societal impact, and review management and prevention strategies. Methods: A fifteen- year retrospective ...
Coupling of spontaneous changes in muscle sympathetic nerve activity to blood pressure in humans : potential influence of age [abstract]
(2010)
Previous studies indicate a 5.5 second latency between a burst of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and the resultant peak blood pressure response, which averages up to 3 mmHg. Aging may attenuate α-adrenergic ...
Plasma miRNAs as novel biomarkers for breast cancer detection [abstract]
(2010)
MicroRNAs, a family of 19- to 25-nucleotide noncoding RNAs that primarily regulate genes at post-transcriptional level, are frequently dysregulated in cancer including breast cancer. Recent studies demonstrate that the ...
Analysis of the cerebellum in individuals with autism spectrum disorder using magnetic resonance imaging [abstract]
(2010)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 1 of every 150 people in the US population. Individuals with ASD have been shown to display deficits in motor coordination, suggesting ...
The experience of initiating and being on dialysis among the elderly [abstract]
