Variables That May Enhance Medical Students' Perceived Preparedness for Computer-based Testing
(East Carolina University, 2000-09)Objective: To identify variables that may enhance medical student’s preparedness for computer-based administration of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Design: A cross-sectional survey of 301 medical ... -
Variation in female aggression in 2 three-spined stickleback populations with female throat and spine coloration
(2018-03-07)Despite growing interest in female ornament evolution, we still have a rudimentary understanding of female display traits relative to similar traits in males. Under one popular adaptive scenario, fe- male ornaments are ... -
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)Background: Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration are still poorly characterized, especially at the genomic ... -

Variations in Craniofacial and Velopharyngeal Structures Among Individuals with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)22q11.2 deletion syndrome is the most common genetic cause of velopharyngeal dysfunction. Studies examining 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have thus far primarily focused on variations in the bony framework. Limited information ... -
Variations in velopharyngeal structure and function in adults with normal and cleft anatomy.
(East Carolina University, 2015)Examination of velopharyngeal (VP) muscle differences among adults with cleft palate is limited. Dynamic assessment of the VP muscles have predominantly been during rest or sustained phonation. The purpose of this study ... -
Varied response to mirror gait retraining of gluteus medius control, hip kinematics, pain, and function in 2 female runners with patellofemoral pain.
(http://www.jospt.org/, 2013-12)STUDY DESIGN: Case report. BACKGROUND: The underlying mechanism of the changes in running mechanics after gait retraining is presently unknown. This case report assesses changes in muscle coordination and kinematics ... -
VARIOUS METHODS OF NOTE-TAKING AND HOW THEY COMPARE IN TERMS OF INFORMATION RETENTION
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)The use of electronic devices to take classroom notes rather than writing them using pencil and paper is increasingly common. Previous studies have attempted to establish a connection between the use of devices in the ... -
A Vascular Access Pathway to Decrease Computed Tomography Contrast Extravasations in Emergency Department Patients
(2024-04-22)Aim: This evidence-based project aimed to create a pathway tool for emergency department staff to utilize during peripheral intravenous (PIV) placement to decrease patient harm secondary to iodinated contrast media ... -
Vascular tissue contractility changes following late gestational exposure to multi-walled carbon nanotubes or their dispersing vehicle in Sprague Dawley rats
(2014-04-20)Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are increasingly used in industry and in nanomedicine raising safety concerns, especially during unique life-stages such as pregnancy. We hypothesized that MWCNT exposure during ... -
Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein regulates arterial smooth muscle cell migration
(East Carolina University, 2016-09-08)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a multi-faceted pathology that remains the number one killer of all Americans and people worldwide. Vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, extracellular matrix imbalance, and arterial ... -
VASP activation via the Gα13/RhoA/PKA pathway mediates cucurbitacin-B-induced actin aggregation and cofilin-actin rod formation
(2014-04-01)Cucurbitacin B (CuB), a potent antineoplastic agent of cucurbitacin triterpenoids, induces rapid disruption of actin cytoskeleton and aberrant cell cycle inhibiting carcinogenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanism ...
