In a grounded theory study examining the process of precepting an unsafe student, it was found that preceptors assigned passing grades to students who in fact should not have passed. Although preceptors perceived their role as gatekeepers for the profession, by not assigning failing grades to...

Three groups of once-calved (OCH) heifers were slaughtered following the weaning of their calves at 3 (OCH3, n = 32), 5 (OCH5, n = 33) and 7 (OCH7, n = 31) months postcalving. A fourth group of heifers was fed a silage/grain diet and slaughtered at 15 mo of age (C, n = 32). Alternate sides of...

COMPARISON OF THREE TYPES OF NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ON FATIGABILITY IN THE QUADRICEPS MUSCLES
DownloadSpring 2018
Claveria-Gonzalez, Francisca C
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can produce contractions of paralyzed muscles to improve function and reduce secondary complications for individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI). NMES is typically delivered through a single pair of electrodes over a muscle belly at a stimulation...

Conditioning Electrical Stimulation to Enhance Regeneration and Reinnervation Following Peripheral Nerve Injury
DownloadFall 2019
Background: Peripheral nerve injury is common, identified in 3% of patients presenting to major emergency centers. Poor outcomes are attributable to the slow intrinsic rate of nerve regeneration. A strategy to accelerate this process is of paramount clinical importance. A conditioning crush...

The gene (Cbg) encoding cortisol-binding globulin (CBG) has been proposed as a candidate gene to explain genetic variation in cortisol secretion and carcass composition in pigs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between CBG and pork quality in 5 European breeding lines,...

Effect of Laying Hen Housing Environment and Genetic Strain on Meat Quality and Skeletal Muscle Physicochemical Properties
DownloadFall 2016
Skeletal muscle is an adaptable, multi-faceted tissue that is essential for whole body movement and metabolism. When a production animal is slaughtered, its muscle goes through complex physical and biochemical changes including a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism resulting in the...

Meat tenderness may be improved by accelerating muscle metabolism or by damaging muscle structure and increasing the solubility of muscle proteins. Pre- and postrigor protein and collagen solubilities were measured in semitendinosus muscles, removed pre-rigor from 24 Charolais crossbred steer...

Effects of Selection for Low Residual Feed Intake on Meat Quality of Major Muscles from Angus, Charolais and Kinsella Composite Cattle
DownloadFall 2017
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a measure of animal feeding efficiency. Selection of high feed efficient cattle using RFI does not affect production performance; low RFI animals consume less feed to reach a similar body weight gain as high RFI animals and thus are considered as feed efficient...

Fiber-type proportions and diameters in the longissimus muscle of beef heifers undergoing catch-up (compensatory) growth
Download1991
Fifty-three Hereford crossbred heifers (211 ± 28(mean ± SD) kg, 197 ± 13 d of age at day 1) were used to study the effects of mild, chronic feed restriction followed by refeeding on some longissimus muscle fiber characteristics. Five animals were slaughtered on day 1 for analysis of initial...
