In a Class by Himself
No full textThis year, for the first time, an alumni presenter will be among those taking part in Alumni College. C.J. Hribal ’79, author and Marquette University professor, will offer a lecture on the art of mystery in fiction. Hribal joins St. Norbert professors (some of them SNC alums, too!) on the faculty of the annual event that draws alums back to campus for a weekend opportunity to reconnect.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1002/thumbnail.jp

Spring 2015: Thought Leaders Weigh Issues of Violence and Reconciliation
No full textThe “Thought Leaders Weigh Issues of Violence and Reconciliation” article from St. Norbert College Magazine’s Spring 2015 issue recounts a powerful dialogue between author bell hooks and sociologist Beth Richie during hooks’ campus residency. Centered on the theme “Ending Violence: How We Change,” the conversation explored systemic violence, personal accountability, and the transformative potential of love and community. Richie, an advisor to the NFL on domestic violence, and hooks, a renowned social justice scholar, emphasized the need for honest dialogue, healing, and grassroots change—urging individuals to start small, act locally, and build inclusive spaces of understanding and care.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1244/thumbnail.jp
Perturbations of cerebral hemodynamics in Kenyans with cerebral malaria
No full textThe mechanisms of death and neurologic sequelae in African children with cerebral malaria are undetermined. Because pathologic features are confined to the cerebral vasculature, perturbations in cerebral hemodynamics may be responsible. We compared the transcranial Doppler findings in 50 children with cerebral malaria with those of 115 conscious Kenyan children. In addition, 10 children with cerebral malaria were studied during intracranial pressure monitoring and nine children were studied during the agonal stages. In the children with cerebral malaria, cerebral blood flow velocity was increased in 30%, usually associated with seizures. Of the 11 children who developed neurologic sequelae, six had sonographic abnormalities associated with lateralizing deficits, including four children with hemiparesis (in two children the contralateral middle cerebral artery could not be insonated and two had transient increases in blood flow velocity associated with seizures). In the children with severe intracranial hypertension, there was a significant linear relationship between the cerebral perfusion pressure and blood flow velocity, suggesting that autoregulation was impaired. Sonographic features of progressive intracranial hypertension, were observed in three children with cerebral malaria who died. Perturbations of cerebral hemodynamics are associated with a poor outcome in Kenyan children with cerebral malaria
