Robotics in Cardiac Surgery: Past, Present, and Future
(2013-07)Robotic cardiac operations evolved from minimally invasive operations and offer similar theoretical benefits, including less pain, shorter length of stay, improved cosmesis, and quicker return to preoperative level of ... -
Role Conception in New Graduate Nurses: A Secondary Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Background: The new graduate transition to practice process affects retention, competency development, healthcare costs, quality, and assimilation into the profession. During the transition, new graduate nurses compare the ... -
Role of antidepressants in fetal synapse formation in Autism Spectrum Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-23)Autism is a genetically complex neurodevelopmental disorder in which patients exhibit social deficits in both verbal and non-verbal forms of communication and display restricted and repetitive behaviors. Approximately 1 ... -
The Role of Axl and Axl-like Proteins in Murine Spermatogenesis
(East Carolina University, 2009)Mice lacking the Axl receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and its family members exhibit detrimental effects on their reproductive ability. AXL is localized to Sertoli cells, which are the major nurturing cells in the seminiferous ... -
Role of Barium Swallow in Diagnosing Clinically Significant Anastomotic Leak following Esophagectomy
(2016-04)Background Barium swallow is performed following esophagectomy to evaluate the anastomosis for detection of leaks and to assess the emptying of the gastric conduit. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability ... -
Role of Blood Cytokine Levels and Adiposity in Myocardial Infarction Recurrence
(2018-05)Risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) are important as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. In fact, approximately one third of adults having an MI will have another in six years. The purpose of this ... -
The role of cardiac mitochondria in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
(East Carolina University, 2012)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) exerts economic and humanitarian costs that are unparalleled by any other disease. Of the many etiologies of CVD, myocardial infarction accounts for over 50% of the associated mortality and ... -
Role of central cannabinoid receptor GPR18 in cardiovascular regulation
(East Carolina University, 2014)The primary goal of this study was to characterize the role of GPR18 in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) in blood pressure (BP) regulation and elucidate the mechanisms involved in central GPR18 mediated hypotensive ... -
Role of Cold Fronts in South American Monsoon Onset
(East Carolina University, 2010)During the austral spring, the interactions between the southward-moving intertropical convergence zone with cold fronts that progress equatorward contribute to the complexity of the timing and regional differences in South ... -
