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 ...
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 ...
A Quantitative Survey of Gravity Receptor Function in Mutant Mouse Strains
(East Carolina University, 2005-12)
The purpose of this research was to identify vestibular deficits in mice using linear vestibular evoked potentials (VsEPs). VsEP thresholds, peak latencies, and peak amplitudes from 24 strains with known genetic mutations ...
Functional Aging of the Inner Ear Sensory Systems in Mouse Models of Age-Related Hearing Loss
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Age related structural and functional change in the cochlea have been well described and predisposing factors including genetic background, gender, and environmental factors have been identified. To date, nine genetic loci ...
Lower Extremity Strength and Mechanics During Jumping in Women With Patellofemoral Pain
(2009)
Context: Lower extremity (LE) weakness might be associated with altered mechanics during weight bearing in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Objective: To analyze LE strength, mechanics, and the association ...
An Investigation of Auditory and Visual Temporal Processing in Children with Reading Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Several lines of research have revealed a relationship between reading disorders (RD) and auditory temporal processing deficits. That is, subtle, yet rapid changes within an acoustic message are more difficult for individuals ...
Utilization of Information Technology in Eastern North Carolina Physician Practices: Determining the Existence of a Digital Divide
(East Carolina University, 2008)
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has emphasized the importance of utilizing health information technologies, thus making the availability of electronic resources critical for physicians ...
Blogging in an Online Health Information Technology Class
(East Carolina University, 2005-09)
In this article we introduce blogs, including their brief history, their current status, and motivations for blogging. We describe how we created a course blog in one online Health information management (HIM) baccalaureate ...
Teaching Workflow Analysis and Lean Thinking via Simulation: A Formative Evaluation
(East Carolina University, 2009-04)
This article presents the rationale for the design and development of a video simulation used to teach lean thinking and workflow analysis to health services and health information management students enrolled in a course ...
Can Factors Related to Self-regulated Learning and Epistemological Beliefs Predict Learning Achievement in Undergraduate Asynchronous Web-based Courses?
(East Carolina University, 2006-08-30)
This study examined the effects of self-regulated learning (SRL) and epistemological beliefs (EB) on individual learner levels of academic achievement in Web-based learning environments while holding constant the effect ...
