(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2023-01)Social media (SM) sites are a critical component of our modern society, increasingly present not only in our personal lives, but also in professional spheres.1 Within the medical profession, particularly during the ongoing ... -
Microbiological and electrophoretic studies of the binding of antibiotics by milk and milk components
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1970)"The most common form of mastitis is associated with the growth and multiplication of bacteria in the milk secreting tissues of the udder. The infected gland reacts to microbial invasion and the host defense mechanism may ... -
Evolution, transmission, and clinical impacts of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Influenza and coronaviruses are leading causes of human respiratory diseases, causing substantial global impact. The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses continues to trigger ... -

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Arthroscopy is the most commonly performed orthopaedic surgery procedure. During arthroscopic surgery, a continuous flow of irrigation solution is necessary to distend the joint, remove debris, ... -
Chronic vagotomy induces nTS glial activation, reduced glutamatergic signaling, and blunted cardiorespiratory responses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)The brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) is the first site of integration of viscerosensory information provided by afferents of the vagus nerves. The nTS critically contributes to cardiorespiratory function and ... -
A role played by sex in innate immune memory and disease severity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)While immunological memory has traditionally been understood to be solely within the purview of adaptive immunity, recent evidence has shown that a type of "memory" exists in innate immune cells, as a prior insult can lead ... -
Interplay of Bacillus anthracis spore proteins in the assembly process of the exosporium
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)Spores are the infectious form of the zoonotic pathogen, Bacillus anthracis. The outermost layer of these spores is the exosporium. It consists of a basal layer (major structural proteins are ExsY, CotY, BxpB, and ExsFB) ... -
