"We Were the Eyes and Ears...": Nursing and the Development of Neonatal intensive Care Units in the United States, 1955-1982. Abstract ABSTRACT "WE WERE THE EYES AND EARS...": NURSING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1982. Briana Ralston, MS, RN Julie Fairman, PhD, RN, FAAN In the 1960s and 1970s, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) became the standard of care for critically ill newborns in hospitals across the United States. Though work has been done to examine how nurses participated in the development of ICU's for adult populations, scholarship related to the formation of NICUs is sparse. Using historical methodology to examine hospital archival data, oral history interviews, and scholarly literature, this work examines the roles nurses played in the development of NICUs as technological systems between 1955 and 1982 in the United States.

  • Copyright 2017 Laura Atkins
    Copyright 2017 Laura Atkins ADAPTABLE LIVES: AGENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN A CANCER CLUSTER TOWN BY LAURA ATKINS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Moon-Kie Jung, Chair Professor Assata Zerai Professor Lisa Marie Cacho Professor Norman K. Denzin ABSTRACT This dissertation provides an ethnographic account of the experiences of residents living within the cancer cluster town of Clyde, Ohio, where over 50 children have been diagnosed with or have died of cancers of the brain and central nervous system since the mid-1990s. My entry into the field coincided with the filing of a lawsuit against the town’s largest employer, a Whirlpool Corporation plant, after the discovery of nine feet of toxic PCB sludge at a former community recreational park built by the company. Drawing on in-depth interviews, archival documents, and government reports, I examine systems of power at work within the community that hamper a collective sense of community subpolitics. Using a grounded theoretical approach to analysis informed by risk theory, I discovered that community-level responses to risk echo national logics that promote the concepts of deterrence and avoidance of harm as matters of individual preventive choice. Within a cultural context where efforts towards pinpointing the toxins responsible for the elevated cancer rates in Clyde have failed and there exists an imperative for self-protection that is impossible to achieve, residents experience serious psychosocial and practical conflicts as they adapt to the impact of cancer on their families.

Such projects are far too big and consume far too much land to be build without following the EIS process. Wind Turbines kill birds in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Without mandatory compliance with EIS no mechanism to assurme BMPs for minimizing bird kills will be in place. Solar Potovoltaic systems have the potential to condemn vast amounts of federal land simultaneously negatively affecting ecosystems of other species, such as sage grouse and economic interests of local communities who might be shut off from existing economic uses of federal lands. One advantage of the EIS processs is considering multiple options for decisions. The use of far too much land is at stake for including both uses as categorical exclusions. file://Z:\2010 CX Rulemaking\01 Comments on Proposed Rule\Comments Received at regulati... 3/9/2011 Page 1 of 1 As of: February 07, 2011 Received: January 03, 2011 Status: Posted PUBLIC SUBMISSION Posted: January 13, 2011 Tracking No.

MUC13 Modulated Nanomechanical and Biophysical Responses in Pancreatic Cancer Cells Abstract Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. Even with recent advances in diagnostic tools, chemotherapeutic regimens, and biomarkers for earlier detection, it still has dismal survival rates. Part of the reason for this is the inherent difficulty in detecting and eatingtr this disease. Recent findings suggest that the altered expression of mucins, including MUC13, may be useful molecular signatures for early disease diagnosis, chemotherapy response and predicting patient survival. MUC13, a recently identified transmembrane glycoprotein, is normally associated with forming a protective barrier on epithelial tissues. However, its overexpression/aberrant subcellular localization has been associated with cancer, disease aggressiveness, poorer patient prognosis and drug resistance via alterations of multiple oncogenic signaling pathways.
