Investigating the Effects of N2-Acetylphenelzine in the Sexes in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
DownloadFall 2017
Chronic pain is a highly prevalent symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and affects approximately half of patients at some stage of the disease. MS affects women more frequently than men and neuropathic pain is also reported as more severe, and frequent, in females with the disease. The underlying...

Investigating the Influence of Therapeutic Hypothermia on Stroke-Induced Intracranial Pressure in a Rat Model of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
DownloadSpring 2016
Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a potentially life threatening complication after intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke (ICH). Animal and clinical studies suggest that mild (~33ºC) therapeutic hypothermia (TH) reduces ICP after ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since TH has...

Investigation of intermittent electrical stimulation as a potential prophylaxis against the formation of deep pressure ulcers after spinal cord injury
DownloadFall 2009
Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a severe form of pressure ulcers resulting from ischemia and mechanical damage due to unrelieved pressure. Despite many preventative methods, none so far has significantly reduced the incidence of DTI. The use of a novel method of pressure ulcer prevention,...

Longitudinal Associations of Genetic Polymorphisms and Personality Traits: Independent and Interactive Effects on Neurocognitive Performance in Older Adults
DownloadFall 2013
Research has linked multifaceted neurocognitive phenotypes to genetic polymorphisms and environmental factors. This study examines associations of personality traits and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on cognition. Structural equation modeling was used to examine (a) independent and...

Mechanism of Training Induced Functional Gains and CST Sprouting after SCI: The role of PKA Signaling
DownloadFall 2015
Currently the most effective treatment in humans for promoting recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) is rehabilitative training. However, training is not equally effective for all injury severities and usually does not lead to complete recovery. As a result, there is a need for treatments that...
