Integration of the 2017 ADA Depression Screening Guidelines in the Primary Care Setting
(2018-04-24)Diabetics have a doubled risk of comorbid depression that can lead to worsening healthcare outcomes and increased mortality. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) released new depression screening guidelines in the 2017 ... -
The Interaction of Caldesmon with the COOH Terminus of Actin
(East Carolina University, 1991-10-25)Caldesmon interacts with the NH2-terminal region of actin. It is now shown in airfuge centrifugation experiments that modification of the penultimate cysteine residue of actin significantly weakens its binding to caldesmon ... -
Interaction of memantine with ethanol consumption and dopaminergic function in high ethanol preferring rats
(East Carolina University, 2009)N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists have been reported to decrease ethanol consumption in rodents, but these drugs often produce adverse side effects. Memantine is a neuroprotective and low-affinity, ... -
Interactions of a Dopamine D Receptor Agonist with Glutamate NMDA Receptor Antagonists on the Volitional Consumption of Ethanol by the mHEP Rat
(2013-03)Stimulation of the dopamine D1 receptor is reported to cause the phosphorylation of DARPP-32 at the thre34 position and activates the protein. If intracellular Ca2+ is increased, such as after activation of the glutamate ... -
Interference with Pseudomonas quinolone signal synthesis inhibits virulence factor expression by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2001-09-25)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that controls numerous virulence factors through intercellular signals. This bacterium has two quorum-sensing systems (las and rhl), which act through the intercellular ... -
Interlaboratory Evaluation of Rodent Pulmonary Responses to Engineered Nanomaterials: The NIEHS Nano GO Consortium
(2013-05)Background: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have potential benefits, but they also present safety concerns for human health. Interlaboratory studies in rodents using standardized protocols are needed to assess ENM ... -
Interprofessional collaborative project for the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of contracted (frozen) shoulder
(2016-07-12)Contracted (frozen) shoulder (CFS) is a condition characterized by decreased active and passive shoulder range of motion and pain. The etiology of CFS is unknown and even the diagnostic terminology has evolved. Some risk ... -
Interprofessional obesity treatment: An exploration of current literature and practice
(2021)This exploratory exercise was to gain an understanding of current literature and practice regarding adult Interprofessional obesity treatment team practice. A synthesis of 87 articles and 9 websites and a qualitative ... -
Interrelated role of Notch signaling and mTORC pathways in prostate cancer cell survival and growth
(East Carolina University, 2014)Prostate cancer is currently the second highest leading cause of cancer death in men. Notch is a transmembrane receptor protein that is part of a signaling pathway necessary in the normal development of the prostate. ... -
Into the Trenches: Collaborating with Medical Students
(2017-10-23)Objective: After the successful implementation of a study room project to increase medical students’ use of the library’s physical spaces, the liaison librarian for the School of Medicine was challenged to increase medical ... -
