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 ... -
Vectors of transmission: An early nicotine puff triggers a long-lasting microRNA molecular “memory” in C. elegans.
(East Carolina University, 2016-06-16)The prevalence of passive and active nicotine exposure among neonates, children and adolescents remains relatively high and varies among cultures and countries. Currently, there is ample evidence that a safe nicotine dose ... -
Vegan diets present challenges for kids
(2021-09-22)This is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathryn Kolasa. Today's column is about the implications of vegan diets in the pediatric population and how to ensure proper growth and development of kids ... -
Vegetarian Diets in the Prevention and Management of Diabetes and Its Complications
(2017-05)Epidemiological studies have found a lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes among vegetarians compared to nonvegetarians. This reduced risk is likely a function of improved weight status, higher intake of dietary fiber, and ... -
Vegetation change analysis from 2010-2018 using aerial photography and RTK-GNSS to assist Lake Mattamuskeet Restoration Efforts in North Carolina, USA
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-12)Mapping vegetation species and documenting their changes is critical to achieving the Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge restoration and habitat management efforts of controlling the spread of invasive species. ...
