Stereotypes of Stutterers and Nonstutterers in Three Rural Communities in Newfoundland
(East Carolina University, 1993-12)
The existence of a negative stereotype of stutterers among residents of three Small, rural communities in Newfoundland, Canada was investigated. Members of these communities (n=106) completed a 25 item semantic differential ...
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 ...
Effect of Single and Combined Altered Auditory Feedback on Stuttering Frequency at Two Speech Rates
(East Carolina University, 1995)
The purpose of the study was to determine if combining delayed auditory feedback (DAF) and frequency altered feedback (FAF) would be more fluency enhancing than either DAF or FAF alone. Ten stutterers read at normal and ...
Unilateral Auditory Temporal Resolution Deficit: A Case Study
(East Carolina University, 1999)
An adult with a unilateral precipitous severe high-frequency hearing loss displayed a selective auditory temporal resolution deficit in the poorer ear despite excellent word recognition ability in quiet bilaterally. Word ...
Thoracolumbar compression fractures presenting with an acute ileus.
(East Carolina University, 1990-09)
Corticosteroids are commonly used in the treatment of connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Although they are usually efficacious, osteoporosis leading to spine compression fractures is not ...
Genome scan of human systemic lupus erythematosus: Evidence for linkage on chromosome 1q in African-American pedigrees
(East Carolina University, 1998-12)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by production of autoantibodies against intracellular antigens including DNA, ribosomal P, Ro (SS-A), La (SS-B), and the spliceosome. Etiology is ...
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 ...
Who would have thought it? An operation proves to be the most effective therapy for adult-onset diabetes mellitus.
(East Carolina University, 1995-09)
OBJECTIVE: This report documents that the gastric bypass operation provides long-term control for obesity and diabetes. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Obesity and diabetes, both notoriously resistant to medical therapy, continue ...
Stimulation of glucose uptake by insulin-like growth factor II in human muscle is not mediated by the insulin-like growth factor II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor.
(East Carolina University, 1994-06-15)
Although the growth-promoting effects of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) have been intensively studied, the acute actions of this hormone on glucose metabolism have been less well evaluated, especially in skeletal ...
Thoracic neuroblastoma presenting as a cystic hygroma.
(East Carolina University, 1988-10)
A case of thoracic neuroblastoma with extension into the supraclavicular fossa is described. By physical examination and ultrasound the patient was thought to have a cystic hygroma with mediastinal extension. A 'cystic' ...
