This research project is an historical case study of the conflict
which evolved from the deliberations and subsequent implementation
of bilingual education in Central School District 13J, Independence,
Oregon. The time period under consideration spans 35 months,
beginning in August 1974, when district officials first proposed bilingual
education, and ending...
We compared uropathogen antibiotic susceptibility across age groups of ambulatory
pediatric patients. For Escherichia coli (n=5,099) and other Gram-negative rods (n=626), significant
differences (p<0.05) existed across age groups for ampicillin, cefazolin, and
trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole susceptibility. In E. coli, differences in
trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole susceptibility varied from 79% in children under 2 to 88%...
This report describes post-traumatic ocular lymphoma in 3 companion rabbits; 2 rabbits with unilateral disease and 1 with bilateral disease. Historical findings suggestive of a traumatic event included either external unilateral ocular trauma or bilateral phacoemulsification. Severe corneal changes, presence of an anterior chamber mass(es), low intraocular pressures, and ocular...
BACKGROUND: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) has risen over the past two decades, with over 10 million Californians drinking one or more SSB per day. High SSB intake is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Reduction of SSB intake and the potential...
BACKGROUND: On the basis of the 2014 guidelines for hypertension therapy in the United States, many eligible adults remain untreated. We projected the cost-effectiveness of treating hypertension in U.S. adults according to the 2014 guidelines.
METHODS: We used the Cardiovascular Disease Policy Model to simulate drug-treatment and monitoring costs, costs...
The endemic cyprinids of Lake Lanao, Philippines have been described as a species flock and are thought to be an example of explosive evolution. However, based on historical surveys, 16 of the 18 cyprinid species endemic to Lake Lanao are now believed to be extinct. Furthermore, non-native species have been...
This investigation was carried out to characterize
and quantitate the collagen of rockfish intramusclar
connective tissue. Different species ot rocktish were chosen
to represent the range of product quality experienced by the
fish processing industry. Species included widow, a rockfish
noted tor its soft flesh, yellowtail, a rockfish possessing
flesh...
We evaluated the regeneration behavior and early growth rates of 10 non-pioneer canopy tree species in medium-height, semi-evergreen dry tropical forest in Quintana Roo, Mexico. These species provide timber and non-timber forest products for local communities and include evergreen and deciduous species with varied dispersal mechanisms. The species were Coccoloba...
Ample research has demonstrated the largely untapped potential of bioactive peptides (BAPs) for treating systematic chronic inflammation (SCI). Protein hydrolysates are the mixture of peptides resulting from the hydrolytic breakdown of a protein. Numerous hydrolysates contain BAPs and exert beneficial effects in both in vitro and in vivo models. In...
The two largest earthquakes ever recorded, the 1964 M[subscript w] 9.2 Alaskan and 1960 M[subscript w] 9.5 Chilean, occurred on seismogenic plate interfaces at subduction zones. It has been theorized that the catastrophic failure of a locked zone along the contact between the downgoing slab and the upper plate causes...
