Obese Children Have a Lower Lipolytic Response to an Acute Bout of Exercise When Compared to Lean
(East Carolina University, 2010)Over 17% of American children are obese. These are epidemic proportions considering the associated risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Excess fat is caused from an imbalance in energy stored versus energy expended. ... -
Obesity and Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation— An Exploratory Study
(2018-09-18)Introduction: Obesity is associated with increased risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure, prolonged duration on mechanical ventilation, and extended weaning periods. Objective: Pilot study to determine whether morbidly ... -
Obesity in a model of haploinsufficiency uncovers a causal role for lipid-derived aldehydes in human metabolic disease and cardiomyopathy
(2015-04)Lipid peroxides and their reactive aldehyde derivatives (LPPs) have been linked to obesity-related pathologies, but whether they have a causal role has remained unclear. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is a selenoenzyme ... -
Obesity in a model of gpx4 haploinsufficiency uncovers a causal role for lipid-derived aldehydes in human metabolic disease and cardiomyopathy
(2015)Objective: Lipid peroxides and their reactive aldehyde derivatives (LPPs) have been linked to obesity-related pathologies, but whether they have a causal role has remained unclear. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is a ... -
Object Stories Through Visual Prints
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-24)I have been fascinated by the shapes and textures of objects, how their properties not only capture beauty, but also tell stories of intent and use. My goal for this project was to investigate these objects, learn their ... -
Object-based machine learning correction of LiDAR using RTK-GNSS to model the potential effects of sea-level rise in Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Coastal wetland systems are a vital habitat that provide many beneficial services; however, the complexity of these habitats makes it difficult for conservation managers to preserve these environments and predict future ... -
Objective Measurement of Peripheral Edema as Symptomatic of Congestive Heart Failure
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)Congestive heart failure is a type of cardiovascular disease that is often accompanied by excess fluid buildup in tissue, causing swelling of the extremities, known as peripheral edema. Assessing the severity level of ... -
Objective Measurement of Physical Activity Over Time in Older Adults with Heart Failure
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)Older adults with heart failure are at a greater risk for mortality, hospitalizations, and poorer health when their physical function and movement is limited. However, little objective data is available identifying functional ... -
An Observational Comparison of the TEACCH and the VBA classroom models for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
(2014)In North Carolina, UNC's TEACCH Autism program is the program that most parents who have children with autism turn to for help. TEACCH typically uses an applied behavioral analysis (ABA) approach when working with children. ... -
Observational Play Assessment in Recreational Therapy (OPART): Applications for the Validation of Assessment in Recreational Therapy
(East Carolina University, 2018-04-20)The need for standardized assessments in healthcare is rapidly growing as new discoveries are made. In the field of Recreational Therapy (RT), there are primarily agency specific developed assessments that have not yet ... -
