The allostatic load model explains the additive effects of multiple biological processes that accelerate pathophysiology related to stress, particularly in the central nervous system. Stress-related mental conditions such as anxiety disorders and neuroticism (a well-known stress vulnerability factor), have been linked to disturbances of hypothalamo...

Educators should certainly keep in mind the positive attributes of millennial learners as we consider new curricular approaches. In this spirit, a 3D printing in chemistry initiative has been undertaken at Stetson University that draws upon the technological prowess of millennial undergraduate students. 3D printing activities have been incorporated...

Background Bacterial genomes are compacted by association with histone-like proteins to form a complex known as bacterial chromatin. The histone-like protein HU is capable of binding and bending the DNA molecule, a function related to compaction, protection, and regulation of gene expression. In Helicobacter pylori, HU is the only histone-like prot...

The formation of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs) at the plasma membrane has been reported to sometimes occur repeatedly at predefined sites. However, defining such CCP 'hotspots' structurally and mechanistically has been difficult due to the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of CCPs. Here, we explore the molecular requirements for hotspots using a globa...

N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) affect inflammatory processes. This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with fish oil on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the rat. Parameters of liver injury (serum transaminases and histology) and oxidative stress (serum 8-isoprostanes and hepatic GSH and GSSG), were correlat...

There is increasing interest in the role of aldosterone in the pathophysiology of hypertension, cardiovascular disease and deteriorating renal function. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between aldosterone and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in hypertensive patients with preserved renal function. The study involved 186...

Introduction and objectives The presence of peripheral arterial disease in patients with coronary artery disease is associated with a poor cardiovascular outcome. However, the majority of affected patients are asymptomatic and the condition is underdiagnosed. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) provides a simple method of diagnosis. The aim of this stud...

Introduction and objectives The effectiveness of coronary drug-eluting stents has not been fully studied in very elderly patients who have clinical features that predispose them to side effects and long-term adverse events. Methods The safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents were studied in a historical cohort of consecutive octogenarian patien...

The effectiveness of coronary drug-eluting stents has not been fully studied in very elderly patients who have clinical features that predispose them to side effects and long-term adverse events. The safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents were studied in a historical cohort of consecutive octogenarian patients who underwent percutaneous coronar...

La presente tesis estudiará el proceso de fabricación de leche entera larga vida, desde la etapa preliminar en el campo, hasta el procesamiento en la planta, con el objetivo de identificar los puntos de control y los puntos críticos de control a lo largo de la cadena productiva. Al mismo tiempo, establecerá las medidas preventivas asociadas a cada...

The presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensive patients. We investigated the diagnostic value of the N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level for detecting LVH in hypertensive patients with a conserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Th...

Primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) is thought to have a harmful effect on the cardiovascular system and, in recent years, the number of cases of hypertension due to PHA has been increasing. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of PHA and to assess cardiac damage associated with the condition in 183 consecutive hypertensive patients...

My research explores the question “When does something stop being funny and start being racist?” by looking specifically at the “Tacos and Tequila” incident. “Tacos and Tequila” was a controversial social exchange that occurred in the Fall of 2006 between a fraternity in the Inter Fraternity Council, Zeta Beta Tau, and a sorority in the Panhellenic...
