ABSTRACT This study examines firm characteristics that lead to shareholder activism and analyzes the effects of on target governance structure, wealth, operating performance for 51 firms targeted by CalPERS over 1987–93 period. Firm size level institutional holdings are found be positively related probability being targeted, 72 percent after 1988 adopt proposed changes or make resulting in a settlement with CalPERS. Shareholder wealth increases settle decreases resist. No statistically...
Enterohemorrhagic strains of Escherichia coli must pass through the acidic gastric barrier to cause gastrointestinal disease. Taking into account apparent low infectious dose enterohemorrhagic E. coli, 11 O157:H7 and 4 commensal were tested for their abilities survive extreme acid exposures (pH 3). Three previously characterized resistance systems tested. These included an acid-induced oxidative system, arginine-dependent a glutamate-dependent system. When challenged at pH 2.0, system...

Despite the established role of critical care pharmacist on ICU multiprofessional team, workloads are likely not optimized in ICU. Medication regimen complexity (as measured by Regimen Complexity-ICU [MRC-ICU] scoring tool) has been proposed as a potential metric to optimize workload but lacked robust external validation. The purpose this study was test hypothesis that MRC-ICU is related both patient outcomes and interventions diverse population.This multicenter, observational cohort...
The authors identified the number, type, and frequency of protective behaviors that undergraduate college students who consume alcohol use to prevent alcohol-related consequences. Their hypothesis was engage in more types with greater would be less likely experience Participants consisted a randomly selected sample 1,355 undergraduates aged 18 years older at large public university. Students completed mailed questionnaire on health spring 2002. findings (after adjustment for covariates)...
To evaluate the effects of neurodynamic mobilization on fluid dynamics tibial nerve in cadavers.Evidence showing patients benefit from neural is limited. Mechanisms responsible for changes patient symptoms are unclear.Bilateral lower limbs six unembalmed cadavers (n = 12) were randomized into matched pairs and dissected to expose proximal ankle. Dye composed Toulidine blue plasma was injected nerve. The longitudinal dye spread measured pre- post-mobilization. experimental group received...
Background Recent publications have focused on increased operating room (OR) throughput without increasing total OR time. The authors hypothesized that a system of parallel processing for lower extremity joint arthroplasties sustainably reduces nonoperative time and increases throughput. Methods high-throughput strategy included neuraxial anesthesia performed in an "induction room" adjacent to the OR, patient selection, additional circulating nurse, end-of-case transfer care recovery nurse...
This study investigated the influence of a high intensity reading tutoring intervention program combining culturally responsive literacy (CRL) and science-of-reading (SOR) practices on primary grade students’ motivation. Participants included 10 university-trained tutors working with 38 kindergarten through third-grade students who experienced challenges in two urban elementary schools mid-Atlantic region United States. Students completed 6-week CRL-SOR-integrated their tutors. Participant...
Neural mobilization techniques are used clinically to treat neuropathic pain and dysfunction. While selected studies report efficacy of these techniques, the mechanisms benefit speculative. The purpose this study was evaluate effects in vitro simulated stretch/relax neural cycles on fluid dispersion within sections unembalmed cadaveric peripheral nerve tissue.Bilateral sciatic were harvested from six cadavers. Matched pairs secured a tissue tester injected with plasma/Toluidine Blue dye...
Abstract Background To investigate the effectiveness of posterior temporal supraSMAS minimally invasive lifting technique and compared it to experiments performed in fresh human body donors by applying skin vector displacement measurement technology. Materials methods A total 15 patients (14 females/1 male) with a mean age 37.1 ± 9.4 years mass index 21.4 3.3 kg/m 2 were included into this observational analysis. The injection procedure was additionally male 1 female 85.67 9.7 23.83 4.7 ....
Abstract The authors explored the differences between African American and White college students' drinking behaviors their attitudes toward consequences, harm-reduction strategies, health information sources. They collected data from a randomly selected sample of 1,110 students in large public university to examine effects high-risk prevention intervention. In current analysis, they compared on indicators drinking, sources that typically used for information, believability those scored...
Manual and physical therapists incorporate neurodynamic mobilisation (NDM) to improve function decrease pain. Little is known about the mechanisms by which these interventions affect neural tissue. The objective of this research was assess effects repetitive straight leg raise (SLR) NDM on fluid dynamics within fourth lumbar nerve root in unembalmed cadavers.A biomimetic solution (Toluidine Blue Stock 1% Plasma) injected intraneurally, deep epineurium, into L4 roots seven cadavers. initial...
Prospective memory deficits are common after brain injury and can create impediments to independent living. Most approaches management of such compensatory, as the use notebooks or electronic devices. While these be effective, a restorative approach, in theory, could lead greater generalisation treatment. In current study metacognitive technique, using visual imagery, was employed under conditions rote repetition spaced retrieval. Treatment provided an AB-BA crossover design with A active...
In Brief Study Design. A cross-sectional cadaveric examination of displacement and strain measured at the level cervical nerve roots during upper limb neural tension testing (ULNTT) with median bias. Objective. To determine C5–C8 ULNTT minimal disruption surrounding tissues. Summary Background Data. Clinical pathology involving is difficult because transient nature pathologies, such as radiculopathy, entrapment neuropathies, thoracic outlet syndrome. Cadaveric studies have demonstrated...
The 1992 Festival of American Folklife in Washington, D.C., marked the Columbus quincentenary and was dedicated to better understanding America's cultural heritage-particularly Maroon culture Americas. In festival program, Kenneth Bilby Diana Baird N'Diaye (1992, 54) describe Maroons as enslaved Africans who had managed escape plantations form new societies wilderess. Maroons, they continue, were among first Americans resist colonial domination, striving for independence, forging cultures...
Interscalene block can be chosen for complete anesthesia shoulder surgery. Phrenic nerve occurs with almost all interscalene blocks, but is well tolerated in most patients. This may not the case selected geriatric patients.The patient a 90-year-old female osteoarthritis of left scheduled total anthroplasty. Past medical history revealed hypertension, mild mitral valve insufficiency, and remote episode congestive heart failure. She underwent 40 mL 1.4% mepivacaine, 1:200,000 epinephrine...
In Brief Study Design. A descriptive cadaveric study. Objective. To investigate the anatomy and innervation of uncovertebral joint to determine if it is synovial in nature capable generating pain. Summary Background Data. There controversy with regard anatomic histological makeup interface some authors considering a others disc tissue.
