Inhibition of Stuttering from Second Speech Signals: An Evaluation of Temporal and Hierarchical Aspects
(East Carolina University, 2012)Stuttering is an intermittent and involuntary speech disorder overtly characterized by syllable repetitions, phoneme prolongations and postural fixations that disrupt the natural flow of speech. Overt stuttering is reduced ... -
Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle growth via signaling crosstalk between AMP-activated protein kinase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase
(2012-10)Abnormal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) growth is central in the pathophysiology of vascular disease yet fully effective therapies to curb this growth are lacking. Recent findings from our lab and others support growth control ... -
Initial Characterization of the FlgE Hook High Molecular Weight Complex of
(2014)The spirochete periplasmic flagellum has many unique attributes. One unusual characteristic is the flagellar hook. This structure serves as a universal joint coupling rotation of the membrane-bound motor to the flagellar ... -
Initiating Practice Guidelines for Postpartum Depression Screening at Well-Child Visits
(2014-11-21)Purpose: This project examined the process of initiating postpartum depression (PPD) screening via a PPD protocol at 2 month well-child visit in four pediatric/family practice offices in a rural North Carolina county. The ... -
Initiating Vital Signs in an Outpatient Physical Therapy Practice: Incorporating Interprofessional Care
(2020-04-17)This DNP project implemented vital sign screenings at a physical therapy clinic prior to starting physical therapy, based on the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice recommendation. The literature review showed that many ... -
Innovations in Health Sciences Librarianship
(2013-11)A presentation on innovations in the delivery of library services for students and faculty in the health sciences. -
Inpatient Management of Acute Hypertension
(2015-12-01)Abstract One of every 4 patients admitted to U.S hospitals has hypertension. Few hypertension guidelines address the management of inpatient hypertension. The body of evidence suggests that management of hypertension ... -
Insertional activation of cepA leads to high-level beta-lactamase expression in Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates.
(East Carolina University, 1994-07)Bacteroides fragilis is an important opportunistic pathogen of humans and is resistant to many drugs commonly used to treat anaerobic infections, including P-lactams. A strain set comprised of B. fragilis isolates producing ... -
Insights Into Elevated Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions In Sickle Cell Disease: Comparisons of Hydroxyurea-treated and Non-treated Young Children
(East Carolina University, 2006)Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were examined in 15 normal- hearing African-American children between the ages of 6 and 14 years with homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD), who were on a regimen of hydroxyurea ... -
Instituting Change in Blood Clot Prophylaxis Protocol for Perioperative Patients
(2022-04-22)Perioperative blood clots are a common, preventable occurrence in the healthcare setting. Patients undergoing surgery are at high risk for developing a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolus (PE) for a variety ... -

Insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle is determined by glucose transporter (Glut4) protein level.
(East Carolina University, 1990-09-01)Glucose transport in skeletal muscle is mediated by two distinct transporter isoforms, designated muscle/adipose glucose transporter (Glut4) and erythrocyte/HepG2/brain glucose transporter (Glutl), which differ in both ... -
Insulin-like growth factor I binding in hepatocytes from human liver, human hepatoma, and normal, regenerating, and fetal rat liver.
(East Carolina University, 1988-04)Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in human hepatoma cells (HEP-G2) has, in addition to its effect on cell growth, shortterm metabolic effects acting through its own receptor. We have demonstrated that normal ... -
Insulin/IGF1-PI3K-dependent nucleolar localization of a glycolytic enzyme – phosphoglycerate mutase 2, is necessary for proper structure of nucleolus and RNA synthesis
(2015-07)Phosphoglycerate mutase (PGAM), a conserved, glycolytic enzyme has been found in nucleoli of cancer cells. Here, we present evidence that accumulation of PGAM in the nucleolus is a universal phenomenon concerning not only ... -
Intact Purine Biosynthesis Pathways Are Required for Wild-Type Virulence of Brucella abortus 2308 in the BALB/c Mouse Model
(East Carolina University, 2004-08)Brucella abortus 2308 derivatives with mini-Tn5 insertions in purE, purL, and purD display significant attenuation in the BALB/c mouse model, while isogenic mutants with mini-Tn5 insertions in pheA, trpB, and dagA display ... -
Integrating a QR Code Identification System for First Responders and Families Within Special Needs Communities
(2021-04-27)Individuals with impaired communication, for whatever reason, can be at risk for delayed or inadequate care from first responders in the event of an emergency. One solution to this problem is utilizing QR code identification ...
