The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness an asthma educational intervention in improving knowledge, self-efficacy, and quality life rural families. Children 6 12 years age (62% male, 56% white, 22% Medicaid) with persistent (61%) were recruited from elementary schools randomized into control standard education (CON) group or interactive (INT) geared toward families.Parent/caregiver child assessed at baseline 10 months post enrollment. Despite high frequency symptom reports,...
GH has a significant impact on body composition due to distinct anabolic and catabolic effects lean fat mass, respectively. Several studies have assessed in mice expressing transgene. Whereas all report enhanced growth of transgenic as compared with littermate controls, there are inconsistencies terms the relative proportion mass these animals. The purpose this study was characterize accumulation adipose age according gender bovine (b) mouse line. Weight measurements were male female bGH...
Objectives. To examine the association of social and environmental factors with levels second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure, as measured by salivary cotinine, in young inner-city children asthma. Methods. We used data drawn from a home-based behavioral intervention for high-risk persistent asthma post-emergency department (ED) treatment (N = 198). SHS exposure was cotinine caregiver reports. Caregiver demographic psychological functioning, household smoking behavior, morbidity were compared...
Nearly a third of dairy cows are removed from herds annually in the United States. Our objective is to describe process sending cow slaughter States including perspectives on her fitness for transport, condition upon arrival at plant and decisions transport first place. This begins when decision made by farmer remove herd. Once leaves farm, she makes way either directly or goes through one more livestock auctions markets along way. Cull can travel considerable distance may face number...
Bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 (BVDV-1) subtype b was isolated from premature Holstein calves a dairy herd that experienced an outbreak of births, late-term abortions, brachygnathism, growth retardation, malformations the brain and cranium, rare extracranial skeletal in born to first-calf heifers. Experimental inoculation 3 colostrum-deprived aged 2-4 months old with this BVDV isolate resulted thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, leukopenia. Outbreaks brachygnathism are rarely associated BVDV,...
Euthanasia is a valuable management tool utilized on dairies to end the suffering of sick or debilitated cows. should be implemented if an animal's pain cannot adequately alleviated and there limited chance recovery. To humane, euthanasia quick, painless, administered by trained individual. Despite its importance in ensuring cow well-being, timeliness with which decisions are made for dairy cattle often overlooked neglected. The as important efficient, rapid administration itself. Timely...
The Wessex Growth Study is a community-based longitudinal survey of short children recruited from two Health Districts in during 1985-86 (cohort I) and 1986-87 II). Screening new school entrants identified only 1.3% who were at or below the 3rd centile for height as defined by Tanner Whitehouse, suggesting strong secular trend an urgent need updated charts. After exclusion small number with underlying organic pathology those ethnic minorities, there 84 cohort I on whom this report based....
An online survey was conducted to compare 46 veterinary students who previously enrolled in a discussion-based animal-welfare elective with 45 did not take the course. Students were asked series of questions about their attitudes toward animal welfare and presented animal-use scenarios that had been discussed course: greyhound racing, veal calf production, use genetically engineered mice research. For each scenario, students' actual knowledge scored on basis open-ended factual questions....
Canadian health system managers are increasingly concerned about the number of hospital in-patients who do not need acute care services (Ontario Association for Community Care Access Centres et al. 2006; Yassi 2008). These patients widely known as "ALC patients" because they awaiting an alternative level in a more appropriate setting. ALC days hospitals is systems issue, reflecting challenges different parts healthcare system, including hospitals, community and long-term (MacLeod 2008;...
The goal of the current prospective field study was to examine shedding patterns naturally occurring Staphylococcus aureus intramammary infections and association pulsed gel electrophoresis pulsotype with shedding. Milk samples from 5 multiparous 2 primiparous cows identified S. were collected for 21 consecutive days, 3 times throughout lactation (63 days total). Cyclicity each quarter evaluated using a locally weighted regression. Pulsed used genotypic cluster comparisons evaluate strain...
Few child asthma studies address the specific content and techniques needed to enhance communication during preventive care visits. This study examined of parent communications regarding their management a medical encounter with primary provider (PCP). The majority parents children required prompting communicate symptom information PCP clinic visit. Some high-risk families may require an advocate ensure that clinician receives accurate report child's severity control prescribing optimal therapy.
Despite the growing importance of animal welfare and critical role veterinary profession, is not formally taught in many curricula. In addition, students are often exposed to current contentious issues, which subject much debate proposed regulation. To address this deficiency our curriculum at The Ohio State University College Veterinary Medicine, we have developed a course titled “Contemporary Issues Animal Welfare.” Our specific objectives for are: 1) provide with opportunity objectively...
Rates of preventive follow-up asthma care after an acute emergency department (ED) visit are low among inner-city children. We implemented a novel behavioral intervention, Pediatric Asthma Alert (PAAL) to improve outpatient and for urban children with recent ED asthma.The objective this article is describe the PAAL intervention examine factors associated completers noncompleters.Children persistent recurrent visits (N = 300) were enrolled in randomized controlled trial that included two home...
Abstract We develop a model of the household that includes pets. use over twenty years data from Consumer Expenditure Survey to consider pet ownership and expenditures for single married households. Households with very young children are less likely own pets have lower expenditures, showing substitute relationship. older more pets, suggesting complementary However, households show reduced spending, evidence Surprisingly, when effect income on spending jointly considered in computing...
Our previous study documented a reproductive function for the male‐transmitted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)‐encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (M COX2 ) protein in unionoid bivalve. Here, immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy analyses demonstrate that female‐transmitted (F is: (i) expressed both male female gonads; (ii) maximally ovaries just prior to time of annual fertilization event; (iii) displayed cytoplasm more strongly plasma membrane (microvilli),...
Currently no standard definitions for the diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus intramammary infection (IMI) exist. As a result, criteria applied in research to diagnose S. IMIs have varied making comparisons between published works difficult. The goal current study was define optimal inoculum volume used naturally occurring IMIs. Microbiologic results from 2 field studies examining were examine effects on microbiologic detection aureus. A total 1,583 milk samples included analysis, and using...
