Vestibular function following blast injury
(East Carolina University, 2011)
To date, the war on terror has produced over 30,000 wounded military personnel with a large proportions of injuries attributed to blasts. Dizziness and imbalance are common complaints among the blast-injured population. ...
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, ...
Identification of a novel Leucine-rich repeat protein and candidate PP1 regulatory subunit expressed in developing spermatids
(East Carolina University, 2008-01-31)
Background: Spermatogenesis is comprised of a series of highly regulated developmental changes that transform the precursor germ cell into a highly specialized spermatozoon. The last phase of spermatogenesis, termed ...
Mechanisms controlling the acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by liver stem cells
(East Carolina University, 2007-03-06)
The mechanisms underlying stem cell acquisition of a cardiac
phenotype are unresolved. We studied early events during the
acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by a cloned adult liver stem cell
line (WB F344) in a cardiac ...
Fine Structure of the Motile Cells and Flagella in a Member of the Actinoplanaceae (Actinomycetales)
(East Carolina University, 1970-11)
The motile cells (sporangiospores) of an undescribed member of the Actinoplanaceae are studied by electron microscopy as shadowed, negatively stained, and sectioned preparations. The rod-shaped spores exhibit a typically ...
The role of cardiac mitochondria in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) exerts economic and humanitarian costs that are unparalleled by any other disease. Of the many etiologies of CVD, myocardial infarction accounts for over 50% of the associated mortality and ...
Dopaminergic modulation of the autonomic nervous system: in vitro and in vivo evidence from the mouse
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Central nervous system (CNS) function depends on both the connections between the underlying neurons and neural circuits and their activity. Neuronal activity in turn can be classified as neurotransmission and neuromodulation, ...
Reporting and Concordance of Methodologic Criteria Between Abstracts and Articles in Diagnostic Test Studies
(East Carolina University, 2000-03)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality and concordance of methodologic criteria in abstracts versus articles regarding the diagnosis of trichomoniasis.
STUDY DESIGN: Survey of published literature.
DATA SOURCES: ...
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 ...
A process evaluation of the use of a training protocol integrating biofeedback and neurofeedback in a counseling setting: consideration of the working alliance and treatment satisfaction
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Often individuals enroll in counseling services during times of distress, seeking help with a variety of situations and conditions. However, many individuals do not complete treatment for a variety of reasons. A possible ...
