Characterization of a fiber optic coupled dosimeter for clinical electron beam dosimetry

Creator:: Nitzling, Kevin Dave
Abstract:: Fiber-optic-coupled dosimeters (FOCDs) are a relatively new method in which to obtain in-vivo dose concomitant with radiation treatment. Accurate live dosing can be achieved virtually anywhere due to their small dimensions (0.2 mm) which can be accommodated by a catheter. The purpose of this experiment is to characterize the electron...

The effect of ascorbate on enzymatic nitroglycerin bioactivation as measured by direct LC-MS/MS determination of nitrite

Creator:: Hardardt, Elizabeth Ann
Abstract:: This work sought to characterize a link between Vitamin C and nitroglycerin at the level of enzymatic bioactivation. Before we could proceed, we needed to develop a method that sensitively and selectively identified the product of bioactivation, nitrite. We successfully adapted traditional diaminonaphthalene derivatization with the use of stable isotope...

Long-chain (n-3) PUFA and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Creator:: Depner, Christopher Michael
Abstract:: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as excess hepatic lipid accumulation, in the absence of excess alcohol consumption and chronic liver disease. NAFLD can range in severity from simple fatty liver (steatosis) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH is defined as hepatic steatosis with inflammation and hepatic injury and describes...

Application of a Modified Microdosimetric-Kinetic Model to Analyze Cell Killing in Determination of the Optimal Particle for Light Ion Therapy

Creator:: Butkus, Michael P.
Abstract:: Ion therapy has long been investigated as a potential modality to improve cancer treatments beyond what is currently feasible with photon irradiations. Ions offer both a physical and biological advantage over photons. The physical advantages are well understood, ions deposit their maximum dose at defined penetration depths, allowing for minimal...

Equine-Assisted Group Work : An Exploration of Therapeutic Factors and Group Practices

Creator:: Schroeder, Katy
Abstract:: Equine-assisted group work has recently emerged in the empirical literature as a promising treatment approach for a variety of populations, including women trauma survivors (Whittlesey-Jermone, 2014; Shambo, Seely, & Vonderfecht, 2010). However, group therapeutic processes (e.g., therapeutic factors) and group leader characteristics have yet to be studied in equine-assisted groups....

Metabolic effects in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with Pinot noir juice and wine extract or quercetin, ellagic acid and resveratrol

Creator:: Zhao, Bingxin
Abstract:: Moderate wine consumption, particularly pigment-rich red wine, is thought by many to be beneficial for the cardiovascular system. Both ethanol and phytochemicals are thought to contribute to this cardioprotective property. Metabolic disturbances associated with overconsumption of food are related to the initiation and progression of many chronic diseases, and cardiovascular...

Intersections of Buddhist Philosophy and Psychological Science: An Exploration of Common and Differential Effects of Meditation

Creator:: Braun, Victoria A.
Abstract:: Interweaving perspectives from both social cognitive psychology and Tibetan Buddhism, the present study examined common and differential effects of two styles of meditation: Loving-kindness meditation (LKM) and mindfulness meditation (MM). Psychological theories of construct accessibility postulate that cognitive constructs activated frequently are more readily available for processing stimuli. Researchers in...

Morphological and neurological outcome in the short time study after spinal cord injury in mice

Creator:: Kazemi, Soheila
Abstract:: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disease which poses health problems in human and veterinary medicine. SCI causes neurological disability, with loss of motor, sensory and autonomic function. This study investigated the efficacy of local treatment with IKVAV-peptide on spinal cord regeneration following compression injury at T12 vertebra in...

Effect of whole-body vibration on painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Creator:: Guzman, Ruben J.
Abstract:: Introduction. Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes that interferes with daily living and causes severe pain. Pharmacotherapy is the accepted treatment strategy, however, this strategy is associated with high cost, minimal reductions in pain, and adverse side effects. Thus, a critical need exists to develop...

The Impact of Digital Media on Mandala Making in Art Therapy

Creator:: Donahue, Elizabeth C.
Abstract:: In the United States, the utilization of digital media has assumed an omnipresent status and has altered the manner in which we communicate, conduct business, and create art and music. However, it has been demonstrated that art therapy lags behind the current culture of prolific use of digital media. To...
