No full textIntellectual property plays a vital role in the United States by creating over 20 million jobs, providing the United States with the newest military technologies, improving the pharmaceutical sector, and much more. The annual 301 Special Report issued by the Office of the United States Trade Representatives ensures that the United States trading partners are providing adequate intellectual property protection throughout the world. Countries with inadequate protection will find themselves placed on the Watchlist or the Priority Watchlist, which is the United States' attempt to warn these countries of inadequate protection and encourage communication between the countries in order to improve the intellectual property laws in these countries.187-1011
Elizabeth Seton: A Spirituality for Mission
No full textElizabeth Seton did not have our contemporary understanding of spirituality and mission. Nonetheless, her writings and a consideration of her life in general offer a sense of her perspective on them. Gertrude Foley stresses that “spirituality is holistic, an integrating dynamic in one’s life” that motivates mission or action. Foley further defines mission as a life that is “a channel . . . of God’s love.” By identifying five obstacles to mission and learning how Elizabeth overcame them, we discover how she can guide us. The five obstacles are: being self-centered, being pious without putting faith in action, failing to recognize that it is not we but God who accomplishes all good, seeing activity and spirituality as being mutually exclusive, and believing that the concerns of daily life are opposed to a commitment to mission. Elizabeth’s spirituality enabled her to spread God’s love. She focused on God’s will and recognized that, as Foley puts it, “a spirituality for mission is a spirituality developed in mission.” Finally, Elizabeth saw opportunities to spread God’s love all aspects of her life and in all of her commitments

The Tea Party ::three principles /
No full text"In The Tea Party: Three Principles, constitutional law professor Elizabeth Price Foley takes on the mainstream media's characterization of the American Tea Party movement, asserting that it has been distorted in a way that prevents meaningful political dialogue and may even be dangerous for America's future. Foley sees the Tea Party as a movement of principles over politics. She identifies three "core principles" of American constitutional law that bind the decentralized, wide-ranging movement: limited government, unapologetic U.S. sovereignty, and constitutional originalism. These three principles, Foley explains, both define the Tea Party movement and predict its effect on the American political landscape. Foley explains the three principles' significance to the American founding and constitutional structure. She then connects the principles to current issues as health care reform, illegal immigration, the war on terror, and internationalism"-

The Law of Life and Death
No full textAre you alive? What makes you so sure? Most people believe this question has a clear answer--that some law defines our status as living (or not) for all purposes. But they are dead wrong. In this pioneering study, Elizabeth Price Foley examines the many, and surprisingly ambiguous, legal definitions of what counts as human life and death. Foley reveals that not being dead is not necessarily the same as being alive, in the eyes of the law. People, pre-viable fetuses, and post-viable fetuses have different sets of legal rights, which explains the law\u27s seemingly inconsistent approach to stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, frozen embryos, in utero embryos, contraception, abortion, homicide, and wrongful death. In a detailed analysis that is sure to be controversial, Foley shows how the need for more organ transplants and the need to conserve health care resources are exerting steady pressure to expand the legal definition of death. As a result, death is being declared faster than ever before. The right to die, Foley worries, may be morphing slowly into an obligation to die. Foley\u27s balanced, accessible chapters explore the most contentious legal issues of our time--including cryogenics, feticide, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, brain death, vegetative and minimally conscious states, informed consent, and advance directives--across constitutional, contract, tort, property, and criminal law. Ultimately, she suggests, the inconsistencies and ambiguities in U.S. laws governing life and death may be culturally, and perhaps even psychologically, necessary for an enormous and diverse country like ours.https://ecollections.law.fiu.edu/faculty_books/1071/thumbnail.jp
Liberty for All : Reclaiming Individual Privacy in a New Era of Public Morality
No full textIn the opening chapter of this book, Elizabeth Price Foley writes, “The slow, steady, and silent subversion of the Constitution has been a revolution that Americans appear to have slept through, unaware that the blessings of liberty bestowed upon them by the founding generation were being eroded.” She proceeds to explain how, by abandoning the founding principles of limited government and individual liberty, we have become entangled in a labyrinth of laws that regulate virtually every aspect of behavior and limit what we can say, read, see, consume, and do. Foley contends that the United States has become a nation of too many laws where citizens retain precious few pockets of individual liberty. With a close analysis of urgent constitutional questions—abortion, physician-assisted suicide, medical marijuana, gay marriage, cloning, and U.S. drug policy—Foley shows how current constitutional interpretation has gone astray. Without the bias of any particular political agenda, she argues convincingly that we need to return to original conceptions of the Constitution and restore personal freedoms that have gradually diminished over time.https://ecollections.law.fiu.edu/faculty_books/1055/thumbnail.jp

Traction versus no traction in Foley catheter use for induction of labor: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials
No full textObjective: Intracervical Foley catheter is a safe and effective method for cervical ripening. There are a variety of ways to modify this ripening method, including adding traction or tension to the catheter. The utility of this practice is uncertain. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was to investigate whether the placement of traction vs no traction on a Foley catheter during cervical ripening decreases total time from induction to delivery. Data sources: Electronic sources include MEDLINE, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, Scielo, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar from inception through June 2020. Study eligibility criteria: Randomized trials comparing Foley catheter with traction (i.e. intervention) versus Foley catheter without traction (i.e. control) for cervical ripening were included in the meta-analysis. All types of traction were analyzed (weighted, taped to thigh) and whether the traction was placed only initially at Foley catheter placement or repeated throughout the ripening process. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: The primary outcome was the mean time from induction to delivery in hours. Meta-analysis was performed using the random effects model of DerSimonian and Laird, to produce summary treatment effects in terms of mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was measured using I-squared (Higgins I2). Results: Three trials including 790 singleton gestations were identified as relevant and included in the systematic review. Women randomized to traction on Foley balloon had a similar time from induction to delivery, compared to no traction (MD 0.25, CI -0.78 to 1.27). No significant differences were found in the secondary outcomes. There was no difference in cesarean delivery between groups (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.19). Foley catheter expulsion was faster in the tension group (MD -3.74, 95% CI -6.29 to -1.19) Conclusion: Adding traction to an intracervical Foley catheter during cervical ripening does not decrease time to delivery
