Job satisfaction and intent to leave of nursing assistants in a hospital setting.
(East Carolina University, 2015)Nursing assistants are an important part of the healthcare team in hospitals. However, there has been little research about the antecedents of job satisfaction and intent to leave of nursing assistants in hospitals. The ... -
John Hunter and the Philosophy of Dentistry
(2012-01-27)Laupus Library History Collections & the Department of Bioethics & Interdisciplinary Studies sponsor the History of Medicine Presentations as an educational service for the East Carolina University community. The Library ... -
Keyboard layout in eye gaze communication access: typical vs. ALS
(East Carolina University, 2013)The purpose of the current investigation was to determine which of three keyboard layouts is the most efficient for typical as well as neurologically-compromised first-time users of eye gaze access. All participants (16 ... -
Kif5B and Kifc1 Interact and Are Required for Motility and Fission of Early Endocytic Vesicles in Mouse Liver
(East Carolina University, 2007-05)Early endocytic vesicles loaded with Texas Red asialoorosomucoid were prepared from mouse liver. These vesicles bound to microtubules in vitro, and upon ATP addition, they moved bidirectionally, frequently undergoing fission ... -

(2010-11-29)Laupus Library History Collections & the Department of Bioethics & Interdisciplinary Studies sponsor the History of Medicine Presentations as an educational service for the East Carolina University community. The Library ... -
Kinematic and Electromyographic Analysis of Elbow Flexion During Inertial Exercise
(East Carolina University, 1995-09)Inertial exercise protocols are currently used clinically to improve and restore normal muscle function even though research to substantiate their effectiveness cannot be cited in the literature. The purpose of this study ... -
Kinematic and kinetic comparison of running in standard and minimalist shoes
(http://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/pages/default.aspx, 2013-07)The purpose of this study was to determine if running in a minimalist shoe results in a reduction in ground reaction forces and alters kinematics over standard shoe running. The secondary purpose of this study was to ... -
Kinetics of Binding of Caldesmon to Actin
(East Carolina University, 1995-04-28)The time course of interaction of caldesmon with actin may be monitored by fluorescence changes that occur upon the binding of 12-(N-methyl-N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-l,3-diazol-4-yl))-labeled caldesmon to actin or to acrylodan ... -

Lesional modulation of peripheral monocyte leucotactic responsiveness in leprosy.
(East Carolina University, 1987-11)Because the accumulation and activation of mononuclear phagocytes are critical to the host response to intracellular microbial pathogens, we evaluated mechanisms of peripheral monocyte leucotactic regulation in leprosy. ... -
Lipid mediators of insulin resistance: ceramide signalling down-regulates GLUT4 gene transcription in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
(East Carolina University, 1996-10-01)We have previously demonstrated that chronic exposure of 3T3- L1 adipocytes to tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF) resulted in a marked decrease (~90%) in cellular GLUT4 (insulin-responsive glucose transporter) mRNA content as ... -
The lived experience of nurse practitioner graduates' transition to hospital-based practice
(East Carolina University, 2010)The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenology (van Manen, 1990) was to gain insight into the meaning and lived experience of nurse practitioners (NP) with at least one year of work experience regarding their initial ... -
LLL-3 inhibits STAT3 activity, suppresses glioblastoma cell growth and prolongs survival in a mouse glioblastoma model
(East Carolina University, 2009-01-13)Persistent activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signalling has been linked to oncogenesis and the development of chemotherapy resistance in glioblastoma and other cancers. Inhibition ... -
Local Anesthetic Adjuvants Providing the Longest Duration of Analgesia for Single Injection Peripheral Nerve Blocks in Orthopedic Surgery: A Systematic Review
(2014-12-01)Inadequate pain relief after surgery may delay surgical recovery, decrease patient satisfaction, increase length of stay, increase hospital readmissions, and increase overall health care costs. One way to decrease postoperative ... -
Localization and Characterization of a 7.3-kDa Region of Caldesmon Which Reversibly Inhibits Actomyosin ATPase Activity
(East Carolina University, 1992-08-15)Cleavage of caldesmon with chymotrypsin yields a series of fragments which bind both calmodulin and actin and inhibit the binding of myosin subfragments to actin and the subsequent stimulation of ATPase activity. Several ... -
A Long Helix from the Central Region of Smooth Muscle Caldesmon
(East Carolina University, 1991-07-25)The central region of smooth muscle caldesmon is predicted to form α-helices on the basis of its primary structure. We have isolated a fragment (CT54) that contains this region. The hydrodynamic properties and the electron ... -
Long Noncoding RNA Expression Signatures of Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and Their Prognostic Value
(2015)Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been found to play important roles in various cancer types. The elucidation of genome-wide lncRNA expression patterns in metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) could reveal ... -
Long-term effect of insulin on glucose transport and insulin binding in cultured adipocytes from normal and obese humans with and without non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
(East Carolina University, 1987-10)We have tested the hypothesis that in vitro exposure of insulin- resistant adipocytes with insulin results in improved insulin action. A primary culture system of adipocytes from obese subjects with ...
