The Immuno-Neuroendocrine Interface
Amendment history: Erratum (December 2001) Series Introduction: The immuno-neuroendocrine interface Shlomo Melmed J Clin Invest. 2001;108(11):1563-1566. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI14604. Perspective The CNS and the various endocrine organs are linked in a dynamic manner through networks of reciprocal interactions that allow for both long-term adaptation and short-term shifts in environmental conditions. These regulatory systems embrace the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and any of several target glands, including the adrenal gland and the thyroid. Because the anterior pituitary gland secretes at least six key hormones — adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyrotropin (TSH), and the gonadotropins follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone — such diverse parameters as cell integrity, stress responses, growth, development, reproduction, and energy homeostasis are all directly or indirectly under central control (1). In addition, largely because of the dominant role of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, inflammation and immunity are also subject to neuroendocrine effects. The articles in this Perspective series explore some of the developmental, physiological, and molecular interactions occurring at the immuno-neuroendocrine interface. Control of pituitary function Three tiers of control subserve regulation of anterior pituitary trophic hormone secretion (2). First, the hypothalamus synthesizes and secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones, which traverse the hypothalamo-pituitary portal system and bind to specific anterior pituitary G protein−linked transmembrane […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/14604/pdf PERSPECTIVE SERIES Neuro-immune interface Shlomo Melmed, Series Editor SERIES INTRODUCTION The immuno-neuroendocrine interface Shlomo Melmed Cedars-Sinai Research Institute, University of California Los Angeles, School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California 90048, USA. -

(PhD, Educational Leadership, Research, and Policy) Response to Intervention: The Link Between Specific Learning Disability and Special Education Services Dissertation directed by Professor Al Ramirez The purpose of this quantitative study is to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the percentage of students identified as Specific Learning Disability before and after states policy adoptions in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Rhode Island, and West Virginia that required the use of Response to Intervention (RtI) as the sole methodology for identifying students with Specific Learning Disability. Response to Intervention assumed a dominant role in education with the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Identified as a method to intervene early with students who were not making adequate academic achievement, RtI found its way into special education law with the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act in 2004 hereafter referred to as IDEA 2004. -

Movies and Mental Illness Using Films to Understand Psychopathology 3rd revised and expanded edition 2010, xii + 340 pages ISBN: 978-0-88937-371-6, US $49.00 The popular and critically acclaimed teaching tool - movies as an aid to learning about mental illness - has just got even better! Now with even more practical features and expanded contents: full film index, “Authors’ Picks”, sample syllabus, more international films. Films are a powerful medium for teaching students of psychology, social work, medicine, nursing, counseling, and even literature or media studies about mental illness and psychopathology. Movies and Mental Illness, now available in an updated edition, has established a great reputation as an enjoyable and highly memorable supplementary teaching tool for abnormal psychology classes. Written by experienced clinicians and teachers, who are themselves movie aficionados, this book is superb not just for psychology or media studies classes, but also for anyone interested in the portrayal of mental health issues in movies. The core clinical chapters each use a fabricated case history and Mini-Mental State Examination along with synopses and scenes from one or two specific, often well-known “A classic resource and an authoritative guide… Like the very movies it films to explain, teach, and encourage discussion recommends, [this book] is a powerful medium for teaching students, about the most important disorders encountered in engaging patients, and educating the public. -
The Endocrine Physiology 2 Inputs That Control Hormone Secretion • Control by Plasma Concentrations of Mineral Ions Or Organic Molecules
The Endocrine Physiology 2 Inputs that Control Hormone Secretion • Control by Plasma Concentrations of mineral Ions or Organic molecules. For example, absorption of I- iodine ion increase output of thyroxine hormone by thyroid glands. • Control by Neurons – Nervous system can control hormone secretion in 4 ways. 1) Autonomic NS stimulates adrenal medulla to secrete epinephrine 2) Autonomic NS can stimulate or inhibit secretion of a hormone by an endocrine gland 3) neurohormones secreted by hypothalamus pass through blood to anterior pituitary body and influence the secretion of hormones by it. 4) Axons of some neurons of hypothalamus end in posterior pituitary lobe and release their hormones in it. • Control by Other Hormones – when the secretion of a hormone (thyroid stimulating hormone) causes the secretion of another hormone (triodothyronine), the 1st hormone is called a tropic hormone (thyrotropin). Most of these hormones also cause growth of gland (thyroid) secreting the hormone. For this action a tropic hormone is called a trophic hormone. I gave examples in parentheses. Types of Endocrine disorders • Hyposecretion is too little hormone. Primary hyposecretion can be due to partial damage of gland or enzyme deficiency or lack of nutrient in diet or infection etc. Secondary hyposecretion is caused due to deficiency of the tropic hormone though gland is in good condition. • Hypersecretion is too much hormone. It can also be primary or secondary on similar pattern to hyposecretion. • Hyporesponsiveness is reduced responsiveness of target cells to hormone. Most common type of Diabetes mellitus type 2 is caused due to hyporesponsiveness of target cells (muscle cells and adipose tissue). -

Semiotic Approach to the Analysis of Interpersonal Communication in Modern Comedies
SEMIOTIC APPROACH TO THE ANALYSIS OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION IN MODERN COMEDIES Maria Kochetkova A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2010 Committee: Ellen W Gorsevski, Advisor Lara Lengel Donald McQuarie © 2010 Maria Kochetkova All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen W Gorsevski, Advisor The present research takes a cultural prospective on the tensions in interpersonal relations based on the movies of the 90’s, such as Sleepless in Seattle (1993), As Good As It Gets (1997), and You’ve Got Mail (1998). The romantic comedy films of the 90’s were innovative in their genre, for they have touched upon serious drama subjects, hiding behind the “romantic” and “comedy’ style. Through the prism of the semiotic analysis I try to analyze how cultural codes play into the formation of hidden conflicts in interpersonal communication, mainly loneliness. Umberto Eco’s theory of the openness of the “author’s message” permits to illustrate the many possibilities of interpretation by the audience of the given films and allows an in-depth analysis of the cultural situation. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Firstly, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr Ellen Gorsevski, who has not only supported me throughout this process, but through her guidance I was able to see my research in a different way. I would like to thank my family, especially my mom and dad, Natalia and Alexander, without whom not only this project would not be possible, but only through their guidance and support I was able to understand the true meaning of education. -

Lec . 2 Dr. Shaimaa Munther
Lec . 2 Dr. Shaimaa Munther • The anterior pituitary ( adenohypophysis) is derived embryonically from glandular tissue, as an invagination of the pharynx called (rathke's pouch). • It then migrates toward the embryonic nervous tissue destined to form the neurohypophysis. • When these two tissues come into contact, the pituitary gland is formed. • Unlike the neurohypophysis, which releases hormones originally synthesized in the hypothalamus, the adenohypophysis synthesizes its own hormones in specialized groups of cells. • Similar to the neurohypophysis, however, the release of these hormones into the blood is regulated by the hypothalamus • The anterior pituitary secretes: 1. Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH, Thyrotropin), 2. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH, or called Adrenocorticotropin,or Corticotropin ) 3. Gonadotropines ( Luteinizing Hormone (LH), & Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)) 4. Prolactin (Lacto tropes) 5. Growth hormone (Somatotropin) • Of the listed hormones, prolactin acts on the breast. the remaining are tropic hormones ; that is, they stimulate secretion of hormonally active substances by other endocrine glands. • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH or Thyrotropin) 1. Regulates the growth and metabolism of the thyroid gland. 2. Stimulates synthesis and release of the thyroid hormones, T3 and T4. • Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) 1. Stimulates growth of the adrenal cortex 2. Stimulates steroid hormones production in the adrenal cortex. specifically, it stimulates secretion of cortisol and other corticosteroids. • Growth hormone (GH, Somatotropin) 1. Is one of the few hormones that exerts its effects on organs and tissues throughout the body. 2. It is essential for normal growth and development of the skeleton as well as visceral, or soft, tissues from birth until young adulthood. 3. Growth of the skeleton involves : a.
