Tolerogenic vaccines for Multiple Sclerosis
(2013-05)Tolerogenic vaccines represent a new class of vaccine designed to re-establish immunological tolerance, restore immune homeostasis, and thereby reverse autoimmune disease. Tolerogenic vaccines induce long-term, antigen-specific, ... -
Tophus burden reduction with pegloticase: results from phase 3 randomized trials and open-label extension in patients with chronic gout refractory to conventional therapy
(2013)INTRODUCTION: Two replicate randomized, placebo-controlled six-month trials (RCTs) and an open-label treatment extension (OLE) comprised the pegloticase development program in patients with gout refractory to conventional ... -
Total error shift patterns for daily CT on rails image-guided radiotherapy to the prostate bed
(2011)Background To evaluate the daily total error shift patterns on post-prostatectomy patients undergoing image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with a diagnostic quality computer tomography (CT) on rails system. Methods A ... -
Total IgA and IgA reactivity to antigen I/II epitopes in HLA-DRB1*04 positive subjects
(2013-11)Bacterial adherence to the acquired dental pellicle, important in dental caries (caries), is mediated by receptor-adhesins such as salivary agglutinin binding to Streptococcus mutans antigen I/II (I/II). Ten selected I/II ... -

(East Carolina University, 2015)The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the state and future perspectives of leadership education in pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing programs. Study objectives were to describe nurse educator and practice ... -
Traces of embryogenesis are the same in monozygotic and dizygotic twins: not compatible with double ovulation
(East Carolina University, 2009-06)Common knowledge of over a century has it that monozygotic and dizygotic twinning events occur by unrelated mechanisms: monozygotic twinning ‘splits’ embryos, producing anomalously re-arranged embryogenic asymmetries; ... -
Training Effects on Recovering Parents' Self-Efficacy to Identify Problems, Solutions and Resources to Prevent Internet Addiction in Youth
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-06)This study examined the effects of a 2-hour training on the self-efficacy of parents in recovery from substance use disorder to intercede in their children's Internet technology use in order to prevent future problems with ... -

Transcriptional Activation of Bordetella Alcaligin Siderophore Genes Requires the AlcR Regulator with Alcaligin as Inducer
(East Carolina University, 2001-01)Genetic and biochemical studies have established that Fur and iron mediate repression of Bordetella alcaligin siderophore system (alc) genes under iron-replete nutritional growth conditions. In this study, transcriptional ... -
Transcriptional Analysis of the Bordetella Alcaligin Siderophore Biosynthesis Operon
(East Carolina University, 1998-02)The alc gene cluster of Bordetella pertussis includes three genes, alcA, alcB, and alcC, which are involved in alcaligin siderophore biosynthesis in response to iron starvation. The production of AlcA, AlcB, and AlcC in ... -
Transcriptional regulation of 'pqsR', a gene that encodes a regulator of quinolone signal synthesis and virulence in 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa'
(East Carolina University, 2015)The gram-negative bacterium 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa' is an opportunistic pathogen that frequently causes nosocomial infections and serious chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. During infection 'P. aeruginosa' ... -
The Transcriptional Regulator Np20 Is the Zinc Uptake Regulator in
(2013)Zinc is essential for all bacteria, but excess amounts of the metal can have toxic effects. To address this, bacteria have developed tightly regulated zinc uptake systems, such as the ZnuABC zinc transporter which is ... -
Transfer Checklist: Improving Outcomes for Cardiac Intensive Care Patients
(2023-07-10)Patient transfers are common occurrences in hospital intensive care units. It is a complicated process, which, when inadequate, is associated with negative patient outcomes. These outcomes include medication errors, increased ... -
The Transfer Origin for Bacteroides Mobilizable Transposon Tn4555 Is Related to a Plasmid Family from Gram-Positive Bacteria
(East Carolina University, 1998-01)Conjugal transfer of Bacteroides mobilizable transposon Tn4555 was examined with an Escherichia coli-based assay system. It was shown that mobilization required the cis-acting oriTTn region and that the Tn4555 mobATn gene ... -
TRANSGENDER/GENDER NONBINARY STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: BEST PRACTICES FOR DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDERS IN POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)There are approximately 26,600 students of public higher education in the United States of America who identify as transgender/gender nonbinary and have at least one disability. Research has focused on these two marginalized ... -
Transitions of Care: Improving Discharge Teaching in Stroke Patients
(2020-04-22)Approximately 13% of individuals who experience a stroke require readmission shortly after discharge due to preventable causes. A patient factor for readmission is the patient’s health literacy level and stroke understanding. ...
