No full textPoet-Novelist Clarence Major, who was writer-in-residence with the English Department during the 1975-76 academic year, was interviewed recently by E. Ethelbert Miller, director of the Afro-American Resource Center at Howard University and co-ed itor of Synergy: An Anthology of Washington, D. C. Black Poetry. Author of several literary works, Major\u27s latest book is Reflex And Bone Structure. His other books include, All Night Visitors (1969), The Dictionary of Afro-American Slang (1970), Private Line (1971), The Cotton Club (1972), and Siaveship and Relationship (1973). In the following interview, Major discusses his writing, other Black experimental writers in America, and the problems of Black literature. Ed

KINSLEY, Edward
No full textThe papers of Edward W. Kinsley (b. 1830 - d.?). Abolitionist, merchant, investor, and an agent for the state of Massachusetts, cover a period of approximately four years, from 1862 to 1865, when the Civil War was at its height. Kinsley, as a state agent and member of the committee which had been formed by the governor to recruit and fund the Massachusetts Colored Volunteers, was apparently one of those instrumental in supplying the black regiments as well as the white volunteer regiments. The papers were donated to Moorland-Spingarn in 1974 by Dr. John W. Blassingame, noted historian and author. The collection totals approximately « linear foot and consists primarily of correspondence. There are also official passes issued to Kinsley when he visited the camps of the Massachusetts volunteer regiments, receipts related to equipment purchase, and announcements relative to Kinsley\u27s mercantile partnership
POINT-OF-CARE TECHNOLOGY CLINICIAN-FACING SURVEY Dataset for Sampling of Healthcare Professionals’ Perspective on Point-of-Care Technologies from 2019-2021: a survey of benefits, concerns, and development

Sampling of healthcare professionals' perspective on point-of-care technologies from 2019-2021: A survey of benefits, concerns, and development. PLoS One. 2024 Mar 8;19(3):e0299516. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0299516. PMID: 38457401; PMCID: PMC10923439.Point-of-care technology (POCT) plays a vital role in modern healthcare by providing a fast diagnosis, improving patient management, and extending healthcare access to remote and resource-limited areas. The objective of this study was to understand how healthcare professionals in the United States perceived POCTs during 2019-2021 to assess the decision-making process of implementing these newer technologies into everyday practice.This research was funded by the National Institutes of Health, grant numbers U54HL143541 and UL1TR001453

Association between cigarette smoking and colorectal cancer in the Women\u27s Health Initiative
No full textThe evidence linking cigarette smoking to the risk of colorectal cancer is inconsistent. We investigated the associations between active and passive smoking and colorectal cancer among 146877 Women\u27s Health Initiative participants. Women reported detailed smoking histories at enrollment. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for the association between smoking and overall and site-specific risk of colorectal cancer. Invasive colorectal cancer was diagnosed in 1242 women over an average of 7.8 years (range = 0.003-11.2 years) of follow-up. In adjusted analyses, statistically significant positive associations were observed between most measures of cigarette smoking and risk of invasive colorectal cancer. Site-specific analyses indicated that current smokers had a statistically significantly increased risk of rectal cancer (HR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.10 to 3.47) but not colon cancer (HR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.77 to 1.38), compared with never smokers. Passive smoke exposure was not associated with colorectal cancer in adjusted analyses. Thus, active exposure to cigarette smoking appears to be a risk factor for rectal cancer. © The Author 2007.

Analysis of lung surfactant phosphatidylcholine metabolism in transgenic mice using stable isotopes
No full textStable isotope labelling of lipid precursors coupled with mass spectrometry-based lipidomic analyses and determination of isotope enrichment in substrate, intermediate and product pools provide the parameters needed to determine absolute flux rates through lipid pathways in vivo. Here, as an illustration of the power of such analyses we investigated lung phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis in Surfactant Protein-D (SP-D) null mice. These animals develop emphysema, foamy alveolar macrophages and an alveolar lipoproteinosis with increasing age. We used the incorporation of methyl-9-[2H] choline chloride coupled with ESI-MS/MS to quantify absolute rates of lung surfactant PC synthesis and secretion in an SP-D-/? mouse model, together with an analysis of the molecular specificity of lung PC synthesis. PC synthetic rates were comparable in control (0.52 ?moles/lung/h) and SP-D-/? (0.69 ?moles/lung/h) mice, as were rates of surfactant PC secretion (29.8 and 30.6 nmoles/lung/h respectively). Increased lung PC in the SP-D-/? mouse was due to impaired catabolism, with a rate of accumulation of 0.057 ?moles/lung/h. The relatively low rates of surfactant PC secretion compared with total lung PC synthesis were compatible with a suggested ABCA1-mediated basolateral lipid efflux from alveolar type II epithelial cells. Finally, PC molecular species analysis suggested that a proportion of newly-synthesised PC is secreted rapidly into the lung air spaces in both control and SP-D-/? mice before significant PC acyl remodelling occurs<br/
