No full textAmerican author and scholar LeAnne Howe talks about her novel, "Shell Shaker" which spans centuries of Choctaw culture and history. She reads several passages from the novel and also a short passage from her new, unpublished novel, "Miko Kings," about Indian baseball in 1907 and 1969. She answers questions from the audience. Part of the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers Series for visiting speakers. Sponsored by the Michigan State University American Indian Studies Program. Held in the MSU Main Library

Author-reader relationship at the site of the work
No full textWithin the format of a critical exegesis and four original works of extended prose fiction, this thesis explores the interaction between the author and reader and argues that literary meaning is the outcome of shifts of power between these two entities. It concludes that because these shifts in power are orchestrated by the author, the author is relevant to understanding how meaning is produced

Dravet syndrome or genetic (generalized) epilepsy with febrile seizures plus?
No full textCopyright © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.Dravet syndrome and genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) can both arise due to mutations of SCN1A, the gene encoding the alpha 1 pore-forming subunit of the sodium channel. GEFS+ refers to a familial epilepsy syndrome where at least two family members have phenotypes that fit within the GEFS+ spectrum. The GEFS+ spectrum comprises a range of mild to severe phenotypes varying from classical febrile seizures to Dravet syndrome. Dravet syndrome is a severe infantile onset epilepsy syndrome with multiple seizure types, developmental slowing and poor outcome. More than 70% of patients with Dravet syndrome have mutations of SCN1A; these include both truncation and missense mutations.
In contrast, only 10% of GEFS+ families have SCN1A mutations and these comprise missense mutations. GEFS+ has also been associated with mutations of genes encoding the sodium channel beta 1 subunit, SCN1B, and the GABAA receptor gamma 2 subunit, GABRG2. The phenotypic heterogeneity that is characteristic of GEFS+ families is likely to be due to modifier genes. Interpretation of the significance of a SCN1A missense mutation requires a thorough understanding of the phenotypes in the GEFS+ spectrum whereas a de novo truncation mutation is likely to be associated with a severe phenotype. Early recognition of Dravet syndrome is important as aggressive control of seizures may improve developmental outcome.Ingrid E. Scheffer, Yue-Hua Zhang, Floor E.

Assessment of pulmonary function in childhood neuromuscular weakness
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 2004 Leanne Maree Gauld.Children with neuromuscular weakness may have severe or progressive weakness that results in pulmonary restriction. Weakness can also result in spinal deformity that worsens the pulmonary restriction. Corrective spinal surgery carries significant respiratory risk. Accurate respiratory assessment is important for pre-operative risk assessment. Aims: 1) to evaluate the current clinical practice of pulmonary function testing and their role in respiratory assessment in children with neuromuscular weakness undergoing corrective spinal surgery and 2) to develop a precise method of predicting pulmonary function tests in children with neuromuscular weakness
