A Midsummer Night\u27s Dream
Get PDFA Midsummer Night\u27s Dream is a comedy play written by William Shakespeare in about 1595 or 1596. The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. A Midsummer Night\u27s Dream is considered one of Shakespeare\u27s most popular and widely performed plays.https://digitalcommons.otterbein.edu/production_2023_2024/1004/thumbnail.jp
Inhibit of Transport of Perilipin 5
No full textPerilipin 5 is involved in insulin sensitivity and lipid breakdown which if not regulated properly causes many metabolic diseases. Obesity, type II diabetes, hepatic steatosis, and atherosclerosis are caused by excess neutral lipid storage (Zehmer, J. K., 2009). The protein perilipin stimulates the breakdown of triacylglycerol (TAG) by its involvement in the Protein Kinase A (PKA) pathway (Bickel, P. E., 2009). TAG metabolism plays a major role in the regulation of lipid storage and could be a part of medications and treatments for a lot of metabolic diseases. Obesity especially, is a prevalent epidemic in the United States, so if we were able to regulate the movement and interactions of perilipin 5, we can treat many Americans. Catecholamines bind to receptors that activate the PKA pathway phosphorylating the perilipin 5 protein. This moves into the nucleus and regulates genes that affect lipid breakdown and mitochondria formation. Perilipin 5 changes its conformation by the PKA pathway which in turn affects mitochondria formation and insulin levels. Since perilipin 5 cannot diffuse through the membrane due to its size, this research aims to explore which method it uses to translocate into the nucleus

Educating Nurses on Frequent Oral Care for Mechanically Ventilated Patients: An Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal
Get PDFThe final scholarly project proposal is to implement oral care education for nurses in an intensive care unit (ICU). The proposal aims to create a guideline for an investigator to implement oral care recommendations for mechanically ventilated patients in order to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The proposal consists of obtaining VAP data and oral care charting data for the unit studied, steps for providing oral care education, and analysis recommendations. Oral care involves swabbing the patient’s mouth every two hours with a swab and mouthwash. Oral care education would include handouts and direct teaching. The proposal aims to increase oral care charting rates and decrease ventilator-associated pneumonia after educating the unit’s nurses. There will also be recommendations for future practice in the unit and other ICUs. Dissemination will include a poster, presentation, paper, and submission to Digital Commons
