A non-tight junction function of claudin-7—Interaction with integrin signaling in suppressing lung cancer cell proliferation and detachment
(2015-06-17)Background Claudins are a family of tight junction (TJ) membrane proteins involved in a broad spectrum of human diseases including cancer. Claudin-7 is a unique TJ membrane protein in that it has a strong basolateral ... -
Normative Velopharyngeal Data in Infants: Implications for Treatment of Cleft Palate
(2016)Identifying normative data related to velopharyngeal muscles and structures may have clinical significance for infants born with cleft palate, especially as they relate to selection of surgical intervention and post-surgical ... -
Notched Acoustic Stimulus and Tinnitus: A Treatment Intervention Using a Randomization Test Approach
(East Carolina University, 2014)Musical training has considerable effects on human brain plasticity and music listening has been investigated as a means of treating tinnitus. In a laboratory setting, tailor-made notched music has been shown to reduce ... -
Note taking skills using the LiveScribe pen: implications for college students diagnosed with learning disabilities
(East Carolina University, 2014)The purpose of this study was to examine whether the use of strategic note-taking with the LiveScribe© pen increased the quantity of idea units, quality of notes written down, and retention of information provided for ... -
A novel particle filtering method for estimation of pulse pressure variation during spontaneous breathing
(2016-08-11)Background: We describe the first automatic algorithm designed to estimate the pulse pressure variation (PPVPPV) from arterial blood pressure (ABP) signals under spontaneous breathing conditions. While currently there are ... -
Orphan Glutamate Receptor delta-1 Subunit Required for High-Frequency Hearing
(East Carolina University, 2007-06)The function of the orphan glutamate receptor delta subunits (GluR 1 and GluR 2) remains unclear. GluR 2 is expressed exclusively in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, and GluR 1 is prominently expressed in inner ear ... -
Osteopontin is not Critical for Otoconia Formation or Balance Function
(East Carolina University, 2008-06)Unlike the structural and mechanical role of bone crystals, the inertial mass of otoconia crystals provides a shearing force to stimulate the mechanoreceptors of the utricle and saccule (the gravity receptor organ)under ... -
Otoconin-90 Deletion Leads to Imbalance but Normal Hearing: A Comparison with Other Otoconia Mutants
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)Our sense of gravitation and linear acceleration is mediated by stimulation of vestibular hair cells through displacement of otoconia in the utricle and saccule (the gravity receptor organ). We recently showed that otoconin-90 ... -
Pain coping skills training for African Americans with osteoarthritis (STAART): study protocol of a randomized controlled trial
(2016-08-23)Background: African Americans bear a disproportionate burden of osteoarthritis (OA), with higher prevalence rates, more severe pain, and more functional limitations. One key barrier to addressing these disparities has been ... -
A pathomechanical paradigm for treating the injured runner
(http://legeforeningen.no/spesial/Norsk-forening-for-idrettsmedisin-og-fysisk-aktivitet/Norsk-idrettsmedisin/?so=0, 2013)Pathological mechanics are thought to play a role in many common running injuries. A review of the biomechanical literature reveals that a given running injury may be associated with multiple faulty running mechanics. ... -
