A summative evaluation of a dolphin assisted therapy program for children with special needs

Creator:: Dilts, Rachel M.
Abstract:: This dissertation reviews the literature on the specialty area of dolphin assisted therapy (DAT), a subfield of animal assisted therapy (AAT). To date the literature on the effectiveness of DAT has been mixed although a majority of it is positive. The study was conducted with 40 parents whose children were...

Cherry phytochemicals

Creator:: Chaovanalikit, Arusa, 1974-
Abstract:: The distribution of anthocyanin pigments and polyphenolics of sweet (Prunus avium) and sour cherries (Prunus cerasus) were determined by Ultraviolet- Visible (UV-Visible) spectrophotometry and High Performance Liquid Chromatography with photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Their antioxidant properties were determined by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)....

1) Improving the Uptake and Retention of Gadolinium in Tumors for Potential Gadolinium-Neutron Capture Therapy. 2) Integration of Gemcitabine or Localized Irradiation into dsRNA Therapy Significantly Enhanced the Resultant Anti-tumor Activity

Creator:: Le, Uyen Minh
Abstract:: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., and new approaches to control cancer are constantly sought. This dissertation is comprised of two parts: (i) improving the uptake and retention of gadolinium in tumors for potential gadoliniumneutron capture therapy (Gd-NCT) and (ii) integration of gemcitabine or...

Mindfulness in counseling and psychotherapy : A literature review and quantitative investigation of mindfulness competencies

Creator:: Stauffer, Mark D.
Abstract:: There is substantial interest in the application of mindfulness in counseling and psychotherapy. The appeal of mindfulness training and mindfulness-based interventions has increased as research continues to demonstrate benefits. Mindfulness practice has not only been effective in clinical applications with clients, but has also been conceptualized as beneficial for counselors...

The neuromuscular effects of a long-term static stretching program on the human soleus

Creator:: Hayes, Bradley T.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of a long-term static stretching program on flexibility and spinal reflexes in the human soleus muscle. Day-to-day reliability over two days of H-reflex gain (Hslp/Mslp) and pre-synaptic inhibition of spinal reflexes in the human soleus was measured in an initial...

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....
