Evaluation of Diagnosis Related Groups: Impacts on Cost and Patient Care
… of utilizing diagnosis related groups (DRGs) for calculating hospital charges was evaluated on Medicare program costs and quality of patient care. Through a comprehensive literature review, three measurements in the quality of patient care, and statistical analysis, it was concluded that …

An adaptive strategy for providing dynamic route guidance under non-recurrent traffic congestion
… anticipated that Dynamic Route Guidance Systems (DRGS) will play an important role in reducing urban traffic congestion and improving traffic flows and safety. One of the most critical issues in designing these systems is in the development of optimal routing strategies that would maximize the …

Genetic Diversity And Evolution Of Disease Response Genes In Sorghum Bicolor L. Moench And Other Cereals
… to identify candidate disease response genes (DRGs). We used evolutionary analyses of orthologous DRG sets from grass species to identify positively selected genes and the targeted residues. Six genes showed a pattern of substitution consistent with positive selection: a thaumatin, a peroxidase …

A Multielectrode Microcompartment Platform for Signal Transduction in the Nervous System
… of the chemotherapeutic drug vincristine on DRGs. Conventional electrophysiological recordings (via a patch micropipette) are made routinely to record action potentials and ion channel activity in neurons. Moreover, Campenot chambers (traditional compartmented culture systems) have been used …

Investigating molecular mechanisms of neuronal regeneration: a microarray approach.
… to confirm time points for harvest of DRGs after DR and SN injury, respectively, male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent an L4 SN crush, an L4 DR crush or a bilateral DC transection at the L3/L4 spinal segment boundary. L4 DRGs were collected at 2 weeks (active regeneration) and 6 weeks …

Macrophage recruitment in DRG contributes to sensory axon regeneration after conditioning injury
… nerve injury, macrophages accumulate in DRGs. Recent studies revealed potential roles of macrophages and accompanying inflammatory reactions in axonal regeneration. However, it has not been addressed whether macrophages in DRG play role in CI-induced axon regeneration. In this thesis …

A microfluidic culture for two populations of dorsal root ganglia for differential staining
… the two populations of dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) by differential staining. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its wide spread use in microfluidics. Various methods have been employed to pump fluids in these …

Regulation of peripheral nerve regeneration by the mTOR pathway
… We find that PNS dorsal root ganglia neurons: DRGs) activate mTOR following damage, and that this activity contributes to enhance axonal growth capacity following injury. Furthermore, upregulation of mTOR activity by deletion of tuberous sclerosis complex 2: TSC2) in DRGs is sufficient to …

Neurochemical characterization of primary sensory neurons in a rat model of bortezomic-induced peripheral neuropathy
… (SP) were studied in L4-L5 dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), spinal cord and sciatic nerve using western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Behavioral measures, performed at the end of the chronic bortezomib-treatment, confirmed a reduction of …
