Plague and plague prevention in the U.S.
Get PDFThe term 'plague' has been very confusing to the laity as a whole because the term has been applied to almost every epidemic of any serious consequence, specifically, plague is an infection primary in rats and other rodents, secondary in man, caused by Bacillus Pestis. In regions where it is found, it is endemic amongst rodents, and its spread to the human population is usually by way of fleas or by direct contact
Drawing on arts-based methods to elicit transgender and gender diverse children's experiences in health care
Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to understand how prepubescent transgender and gender diverse (TGD) children navigate gender and experience pediatric care with a dual purpose of informing clinical practice and presenting alternative methods for research with children. Centering their perspectives is critical to improving care for this age group, ultimately improving TGD health
Panretinal optical coherence tomography
Get PDFThis dissertation focuses on developing advanced handheld OCT and OCTA systems tailored for pediatric use, overcoming the limitations of traditional and commercially available devices. The work introduces prototypes with increased imaging speed and expanded field of view, enabling comprehensive visualization of the peripheral retina. These innovations significantly improve image quality and diagnostic capabilities, particularly for pediatric retinal diseases, including retinopathy of prematurity and retinoblastoma. The research demonstrates the potential of these systems to enhance pediatric ophthalmic care
A novel computational framework for analyzing single-cell transcriptomics data: applications to T cell exhaustion and cancer immunotherapy response
Get PDFThis novel computational framework for the analysis of single-cell gene expression data from human tumor samples enables the identification of molecular activity associated with CD8 T cell exhaustion across multiple cell types. It also provides the capability to consider these changes in the context of immunotherapy response. Its application yielded new insights into potential mechanisms of resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies in cancer patients
Nursing the mentally ill
Get PDFOne of the most fascinating phases of history can be traced in mankind's treatment of the mentally ill. Superstition, black and white magic has governed the original impressions of this group. Without a doubt, the greatest sciences of today have been created toward furthering the intelligence of mankind. What greater task can medicine and its allied co-worker nursing take up than keeping that intelligence in good working order? This is perhaps an original and somewhat startling conception of that branch of medicine treating that group of people once contemptuously called "crazy.
Methods of approach to problem of normal childhood and youth
Get PDFThere is a wealth of interesting experiments and opinions on various phases of child-rearing, and while authorities in the field do not entirely agree on all points, on the vital ones they are fairly well agreed. A study of some perplexing points in raising children is of interest and aid to parents who earnestly approach their task. True it is that most children will manage to "just grow" like Topsy, but there may result in tremendous waste of potentialities of the child, which might have been brought out under a more scientific method of rearing

Medicine plus religion
Get PDFFrom the earliest beginnings medicine and religion have been more or less closely associated, although not always happily so. In the centuries just passed, broadly speaking, the clergy has often looked askance on many of the practices and adaptations of new methods by the medical world, never for a moment thinking that medicine might have something of value to contribute to religion. In the same way, the medical profession has been very slow to accept that the Church might be of any assistance. There is, however, a growing realization that the physical, mental, spiritual and social aides of the individual are not separate entities, but are very closely related, and growing consciousness that medicine and religion, can, be working together, improves the total result
