DNA Persistence and Preservation Following Environmental Insult
This research was conducted to provide empirical evidence to supplement advice available to the forensic community for the collection of muscle tissue for forensic analysis. This type of collection is normally carried out to determine the identity of individuals following mass disasters, such as …

Biomarkers of Optic Nerve Head Glial Cell Activation Following Biomechanical Insult
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma is the most common form of the disease and can be characterized by the slow and irreversible apoptotic death of retinal ganglion cells, a unique optic nerve neuropathy resulting in loss of vision. Increased …

Reziproke Hemmung : ein Prädiktor für die Entwicklung der Spastik nach zerebralem Insult?
… und im weiteren Verlauf der Akutphase an 28 Insultpatienten quantitativ untersucht. Parallel wurde von unabhängigen Untersuchern das klinische Bild der hemiparetischen Patienten mit klinischen Scores erfaßt. Während die vorausgehende Stimulation des N. peronaeus bei gesunden Probanden zu …

Psychiatric disorders as an outcome of neurological insult : a computation of relative risk
The purpose of this study was to examine the relative risk of psychiatric disorders occurring in patients diagnosed with neurological disorders. This study separately computed the relative risk ratios for identified psychiatric disorder (i.e., anxiety, mood disorders, somatization, schizophrenia, …

Effect of metabolic insult on amino acids in the ciliary epithelium, lens, and retina
Ischaemic insult deprives ocular tissue of oxygen and essential metabolites leading to anatomical and functional changes. One way to gauge the effect of ocular ischaemia is to determine changes in amino acids likely to be modified due to the intricate interrelationship between cellular metabolism …

Higher Brain Neurons Succumb to Acute Stroke-Like Insult While Lower Brain Neurons Strongly Resist
Pyramidal neurons (PyNs) in ‘higher’ brain are highly susceptible to acute stroke injury yet ‘lower’ brain regions better survive global ischemia, presumably because of better residual blood flow. Here we show that projection neurons in ‘lower’ brain regions of hypothalamus and brainstem …

Adding Insult to Injury: How Neoliberal Ideology Convinces the Disadvantaged to Blame Themselves for Poor Health
Health outcomes are strongly tied to social class. Childhood environment, level of education, income, and even neighborhood characteristics are strongly correlated with negative health outcomes such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stress, and others. Despite extensive research chronicling these …

Characterization of neural ion regulation dysfunction during insult and evaluation of micro-opioid receptor activation during simulated ischemia in the pre-botzinger complex
… was directly related to the severity of the insult. Finally, the ability of muopioid receptor activation to attenuate some of the damaging accumulation of extracellular potassium during simulated ischemia. The activation of this receptor proved to significantly modulate the accumulation of …

Rapid neuronal responses during spreading neurotoxic and neuroprotective network activity
… morphological changes recover rapidly post-insult. We therefore hypothesised that beading and the inhibition of neurotransmitter release may be a protective mechanism and render neurons resistant to subsequent glutamatergic insults. However, a subtoxic stimulation is not protective against a …

“I will show you how great I am”: motivation from negative expectations
… Americans will be more likely to respond to insult or derogatory treatment in a productive way through increased effort, in a phenomena I have called the “I will show you” effect. Meta-analysis of effect sizes across three studies showed that there was a marginal effect of culture x insult …

Effects of elevated testicular temperature on viability of cryopreserved semen and morphological characteristics of ejaculated spermatozoa
… of sperm before and after thermal insult were examined. For assessment of results, collection days were grouped: days -6, -3, 0 = Period 1 (d 0 = day of testis coverage after semen collection on that day), days 3, 6, 9 = Period 2 , days 12, 15...39 = Period 3. Semen was …

The Production of Nonconformity Within an Experimental Setting
… strategy, followed by forewarning and challenge-insult. Seventy four subjects were assigned to a control condition or one of three treatment conditions. Control subjects were given 14 imperative instructions. Remaining subjects received these instructions prefaced by metainstructions, a …

From Ecological Epitome to Medical Model: An investigation into Applications for the use of Daphnia in Heart Science.
… with an individual’s response to toxic insult. Further, to develop more accurate and efficient means of gathering heart rhythm data by recording heart movement from whole live Daphnia. This opens the way to individualising cardio therapeutics; by correlating the stability of individual …

Investigating the possible cytoprotective effects of melatonin isomer against simulated ischemic injury
… and a melatonin isomer against an ischemic insult and to explore the possible role of melatonin receptors in this effect. Methods: H9C2 cardiac fibroblast cells were subjected to simulated ischemia by exposure to 1mM H₂O₂ following a 30min pre-treatment with 75ng/L (dietary concentration), …

Pre-clinical Targets for Ischemic Brain Injury
… rendering them more susceptible to ischemic insult. This thesis has used a novel ex vivo electrophysiological model of white matter focal ischemia to analyse the neuroprotective effects that low dose glutamate receptor antagonists have for the treatment of ischemic injury. Additionally, the …

Attributes of Astrocyte Response to Mechano-Stimulation by High-Rate Overpressure
… high-rate loading. When subjected to such insult, brain cells undergo characteristic injury responses which include neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, edema and persistent glial activation. These features of the injury have emerged as important mediators of the chronic brain damage that …
