Plume Soup: How a Dash of River Water Affects Washington's Coastal Ecosystem
No full textHorner-Devine will present research investigating the impact of river water on biological productivity in the Pacific Ocean along the Washington-Oregon coast. River water contribution is approximately 0.02% of the shelf waters, yet the effect of this small dash or river water seems to be significant. Horner-Devine will discuss the physical properties, sampling, and modeling of river plumes

During her graduate work, Dr. Horner spent time at Friday Harbor, which was a series of summer classes involving marine algae. After graduation, Dr. Horner was hired by George Anderson in the Zoology Department at the School of Oceanography in Seattle, doing research on the marine environment. During this time, Dr. Horner’s research focused on productivity and marine phytoplankton. While working at the School of Oceanography, Dr. Horner participated in her first oceanographic cruise on the Brown Bear (1960). She goes on to discuss this cruise in detail. After several years, Dr. Horner was hired at the Yakima Valley Community College in Yakima, Washington, where she taught general biology and oceanography. She later applied for a Fulbright grant fellowship (1963-64) and got it, which led her to travel to University of Oslo, Norway. While in Norway, Dr. Horner studied taxonomy of marine phytoplankton. Upon her return from Norway, Dr. Horner returned to the University of Washington as Richard Norris’ graduate student.
In 1965, Dr. Horner became one of the first woman to conduct research in the Arctic (Point Barrow), funded by the Arctic Institute of North America. She goes on to describe her time at Point Barrow, including her living quarters, lab, and flight. In February of 1969, Dr. Horner received her doctorate and got a job at the University of Alaska. After a few years, she moved to Fairbanks and took a position as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Marine Science. In 1972, Dr. Horner became the first woman to do research at Prudhoe Bay and one of three women to do research on T-3. She also was the first woman to go out on a modern Coast Guard icebreaker in the summer of 1973, collecting phytoplankton on the Beaufort Sea. She discusses the reaction of the scientists’ wives to her trip.
In the fall of 1974 Dr. Horner resigned her job at the University of Alaska and became involved in the Outer Continental Shelf Environment Assessment Program (OCSEAP) in Washington. She discusses the struggle that she and other women had to go through in order to gain access to research vessels and stations. She also describes her interaction with the various Coast Guard ship crews and her fellow scientists. Dr. Horner spends a good portion of the interview discussing her research directly, including ice algae, primary productivity and biomass chlorophyll. She also dealt with zooplankton. She discusses her time as Chief Scientist aboard the Polar Sea and the Glacier. Beginning in 1981, Dr. Horner started work on algobloom (commonly known as “red tide”). In 1983, she went on her first (and only) research cruise to the Antarctic aboard the Surveyor. While there, she worked on acoustic surveys of krill.
Since the completion of her Arctic and Antarctic work in the mid-80s, Dr. Horner has been focusing her research on algobloom biology in Puget Sound and Hood Canal, along with five other sites on the coast. She discusses her part in the Scientific Committee on Oceanographic Research and the Gordon Research Conference in the spring of 1996. The Gordon conferences continue today and include scientists from Russia, Norway, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Germany. Dr. Horner was awarded the Chairman’s Award for Polar Science along with Willy Weeks while attending the 1996 conference.

Strains data
No full textThe Strains (STRAtification Impacts Near-shore Sediment ) project was initiated by Julie Pietrzak (TUD), Alex Souza (then NOC, now at CINVESTAV), and Alex Horner-Devine (UW) in order to gain a better understanding of the impact of stratification, due to the Rhine River outflow, on sediment transport processes along the Dutch coast. The impact of the stratification due to the Rhine ROFI is key within this project. It is a joint-project between different institutions, Delft University of Technology, University of Washington, NOC, and CINVESTAV. Two measurement campaigns have been carried out as part of STRAINS, one was in winter 2013 (11/02 - 08/03) and one in autumn 2014 (17/09 - 28/10). Each campaign involved the deployment of two moorings and two or three frames located 2 and 6.5 km from the shoreline, 10 km north of the river mouth (near the Sand Engine). Datasets with salinity, temperature, pressure, velocities, suspended sediment concentration, particle sizes, bed ripples and near bed turbulence have been obtained.
The data may only be used with joint permission from Julie Pietrzak, Alex Horner-Devine and Alex Souza. Please submit a request explaining what you would like to do with the data. We ask that any publications arising from our data cite our STRAINS papers (please see related publication)
Horner syndrome: clinical perspectives
No full textSivashakthi Kanagalingam,1–3 Neil R Miller1–31Department of Ophthalmology, 2Department of Neurology, 3Department of Neurosurgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD, USAAbstract: Horner syndrome consists of unilateral ptosis, an ipsilateral miotic but normally reactive pupil, and in some cases, ipsilateral facial anhidrosis, all resulting from damage to the ipsilateral oculosympathetic pathway. Herein, we review the clinical signs and symptoms that can aid in the diagnosis and localization of a Horner syndrome as well as the causes of the condition. We emphasize that pharmacologic testing can confirm its presence and direct further testing and management.Keywords: Horner syndrome, oculosympathoparesis, anisocoria, ptosis, anhidrosi

Isolated Horner syndrome as a rare initial presentation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a case report
No full textTanyatuth Padungkiatsagul,1 Anuchit Poonyathalang,1 Panitha Jindahra,2 Piyaphon Cheecharoen,3 Kavin Vanikieti1 1Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand; 2Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand; 3Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand Background: Horner syndrome refers to a set of clinical presentations resulting from disruption of sympathetic innervation to the eye and adnexa. Classically, the clinical triad consists of ipsilateral blepharoptosis, pupillary miosis, and facial anhidrosis. Ocular sympathetic denervation may signify life-threatening causes. Timely investigation and accurate diagnosis are essential in patients with oculosympathetic denervation. Case presentation: A 33-year-old Asian man with a heavy smoking habit presented with a 3-week history of left ptosis and no other complaints. His visual acuity was 20/20 bilaterally. An ophthalmic examination was significant for mild ptosis of his left eyelid and anisocoria (smaller left pupil), which was greater in the dark. Both pupils reacted to light briskly without an afferent pupillary defect. Anhidrosis was found on the medial side of the left forehead. A 10% cocaine test was positive. At his first visit, neurologic examination was unremarkable. Comprehensive radiological investigations were scheduled for a left-sided isolated Horner syndrome. Two weeks after his first visit, he experienced a left-sided headache along with ipsilateral Horner syndrome. Neurologic examination revealed hypoesthesia in the left cranial nerve V1–3 territories. Emergent computed tomography angiography was suspected for petrous part of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an enhancing infiltrative lesion with its epicenter at the left sphenoid bone. The lesion encased the left ICA and invaded the left Meckel cave. Rhinoscopy with incisional biopsy revealed squamous cell nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Conclusion: This case involved an unusual initial presentation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: isolated Horner syndrome with clinical progression to adjacent structures. Infiltration involving the Meckel cave and ICA at the foramen lacerum can present as postganglionic Horner syndrome associated with trigeminal pain and hypoesthesia. These clinical findings may mimic carotid artery dissection on computed tomography angiography. Detailed magnetic resonance imaging with careful attention to the skull base should be performed.
