The effect of beta blockers on heart rate response during the Chester Step Test
No full textThe objective of this study is to ascertain that as the intensity of exercise increases through the stages of the Chester Step Test (CST) does the difference between the beta blocked(BB) and the non beta blocked(NBB) participants heart rate(HR) response increase. The study utilised a repeated measures design. Twenty males with a mean age of 58.9 (±6.1) taking Beta Blocker medication completed the CST on two occasions within one week of another. A further Seven males and thirteen females with mean age 61.5 (± 6.3) who were not taking Beta Blockers data from previous study data using the Chester Step Test was used to compare the HR and Rating of Perceived Exertion(RPE) responses at each stage of the CST. Each stage of the CST lasted two minutes after which HR and RPE were collected until the participant achieved 80% of predicted Maximum Heart Rate or RPE 15. HR was significantly different between the two groups at each stage of the CST p=<0.05. RPE was significantly different between the two groups at each stage of the CST p=<0.05. Limits of Agreement suggested test-re-test reliability of the CST for BB participants with the worse case HR being 11bpm above the mean in the final stage of the CST. The data suggests that as intensity of exercise increases as does the difference between the BB and NBB HR response. The data implies there may be some sex differences which will need investigating further. RPE was shown to be significantly different between the two groups. The data also showed that the CST is reliable for participants taking BB

Women in Law: Exploring Expectations for Women in a Man\u27s Profession
No full textOver the winter break I read the following about gender inequality in the workforce: (a) Gender Trials by Jennifer L. Pierce, (b) Women in Engineering: Gender Power and Workplace Culture by Judith S. McIlwee and J. Gregg Robinson, in preparation for an independent research project on Women in Law. I am planning to do interviews with several female attorneys that I have contacted via the West Chester University Alumni Association. These attorneys will be surveyed about their experiences with pursuing law as undergraduates, Law School students, and as licensed attorney. Working with Dr. Zalewski, I will then compile the data from the interviews and analyze the results

No full textDocument related to the Canwell Committee hearings.
In this letter Chester Barnard, President of the Rockefeller Foundation, writes to Dr. Raymond B. Allen, President of the University of Washington. Barnard writes “…I want to say that so far as I can judge from the newspaper accounts, your handling of your Communist fuss was superb. I am waiting with interest to see what the Hoover group will do with our report.”Raymond B. Allen received his Ph.D. and MD from University of Minnesota. He became President of the University of Washington in 1946 until 1951. While President of the University of Washington he dealt with the Un-American Activities Committee and subsequently dismissed three professors for their affiliation with the Communist Party. He served as the first Chancellor of University of California, Los Angeles from 1951 to 1959.

Enfermedad de Erdheim-Chester: primer caso pediátrico reportado en Colombia
No full textThe Erdheim-Chester’s disease is extremely rare in children. We present the case of a 12-year-old girl with histological and radiological diagnosis of this disease and mutation of the BRAF gene, who developed multisystemic compromise requiring treatment with dabrafenib.We identified 22 reports of this condition among children worldwide and this is the second pediatric case in Latin America. Diagnostic imaging is critical to confirm Erdheim-Chester disease and for the surgical planning of the biopsy. Additionally, we identified the parasellar dark sign, which has previously been reported on lymphocytic hypophysitis.This report contributes to the current practice as it shows the clinical presentation and the diagnostic workout of this disease in pediatrics.La enfermedad de Erdheim-Chester es una condición extremadamente rara en la edad pediátrica. Se presenta el caso de una niña de 12 años con diagnóstico histológico y radiológico de enfermedad de Erdheim-Chester multisistémica y mutación en el gen BRAF, que requirió tratamiento con dabrafenib.Hasta el momento, se han reportado 22 casos pediátricos en el mundo y este es el segundo en Latinoamérica. Se observó el hallazgo radiológico denominado signo oscuro paraselar, descrito hasta ahora en pacientes con hipofisitis autoinmunitaria para diferenciarlos de aquellos con adenomas hipofisarios.Este reporte contribuye a la literatura médica en dos aspectos fundamentales: las manifestaciones clínicas de la enfermedad y su diagnóstico en la población pediátrica
