The heart healthy lenoir project-an intervention to reduce disparities in hypertension control: study protocol
(2013)
Background
Racial disparities in blood pressure control are well established; however the impact of low health literacy (LHL) on blood pressure has garnered less attention. Office based interventions that are created with ...
Subjective and objective screening measures for dysphonia pre-thyroidectomy
(East Carolina University, 2013)
There has been a link established between post-surgical dysphonia and thyroidectomy procedures and various studies identify that a large percentage of these patients have dysphonia after surgery. Most of these incidences ...
Hearing aids in older adults: audibility, outcomes, status, characteristics, and skills
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The current study explored hearing aid outcomes for a group of participants who were dispenser fit rather than protocol fit. Participants could have been fit and followed by any hearing aid practitioner increasing the ...
Social communication between intellectually disabled, severe middle school students who use augmentative and alternative communication and their typically developing peers
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices are often used as a mode of communication for people who cannot use spoken language to meet all of their communication needs. Current research is limited regarding ...
Perfluorooctanoic acid-induced developmental cardiotoxicity in an avian model
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical used in polyfluormer production. It is a widespread environmental contaminant and is known to induce developmental toxicity in rodent models. As several related compounds ...
The regulation of anthranilate synthesis for the production of pqs in pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The ubiquitous bacterium P. aeruginosa is an important human pathogen that causes devastating infections in immunocompromised patients and chronic infections in cystic fibrosis patients. The ability of P. aeruginosa to ...
Activation of the proton sensing G-protein coupled receptor, GPR4, regulates focal adhesion dynamics and delays cell spreading due to increased cytoskeletal tension
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The tumor microenvironment is characteristically acidic due to insufficient blood perfusion, chronic inflammation, hypoxia, and altered cell metabolism. The low pH found in the tumor microenvironment may facilitate the ...
Molecular mechanisms of TMEFF2 action in Prostate Cancer
