SUICIDE ASSESSMENT IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS: AN EXAMINATION OF CLINICIAN STRESS, COPING AND PERCEPTIONS OF CONTEXTUAL VARIABLES
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Underserved populations have the higher risk to die by suicide. When patients are suffering from suicidal ideation, patients are directed to the emergency department. In order to investigate the experiences of emergency ...
Neurobehavioral Strategies of Skill Acquisition in Left and Right Hand Dominant Individuals
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The brain consists of vast networks of connected pathways communicating through synchronized electrochemical activity propagated along fiber tracts. The current understanding is that the brain has a modular organization ...
Characterization of the glucose transporters responsible for mechanical overloadstimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Resistance exercise training is a recommended form of physical activity for people with type 2 diabetes due to its ability to increase skeletal muscle glucose uptake. Understanding how resistance training controls muscle ...
ALS AND FAMILY FUNCTIONING
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease and yet a cure remains unknown. Given the growing number of patients with ALS, it is imperative that behavioral health ...
GENE EXPRESSION IN RESPONSE TO MECHANICAL LOADING ON THE ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Many tissues in the body, especially bone, have exhibited adaptive responses to lowmagnitude, high frequency mechanical loading. However, the response of ligament to these types of mechanical loads is not well understood. ...
EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SHOULDER AND ELBOW SOFT-TISSUE PROPERTIES, THROWING MECHANICS, AND RANGE OF MOTION IN ADULT BASEBALL PITCHERS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Overhead throwing places extremely high loads on soft-tissue structures of the shoulder and elbow, causing pitchers to be injured at an alarming rate. Most researchers believe soft-tissue injuries in pitchers are acute ...
Development and Application of a Custom Algorithm to Assess Hamstring Muscle Stiffness
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are the most diagnosed musculoskeletal injury among elite international track [and] field athletes. HSIs appear to occur most often during terminal swing phase of sprinting, placing track ...
The Effect of Quadriceps Strength Symmetry and Task Demands on Lower Extremity Biomechanics
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are a common injury in sports with short and long term consequences. Second ACL injury rates, defined as an injury to the contralateral or healthy limb, or a re-graft tear of the ...
Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Glucose Transport and Glucose Metabolism by Exercise Training
(2019-10-12)
Aerobic exercise training and resistance exercise training are both well-known for their ability to improve human health; especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, there are critical differences between these ...
Effects of aerobic training with and without weight loss on insulin sensitivity and lipids
(2018-05-18)
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of exercise training with modest or greater weight loss (≥3%) or not (<3%) on insulin sensitivity, lipoprotein concentrations, and lipoprotein particle size ...
