  • Glossary of Terms
    Glossary of Terms Acceptable Daily Intake or Allowed Daily Intake (ADI) → Dose- Response Relationship/Curve Allergen The allergen is a material which triggers an allergic reaction. Allopathy The term allopathy was created by Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755– 1843) (from the Greek prefix άλλος, állos, “other”, “different” and the suffix πάϑος, páthos, “suffering”) in order to distinguish his technique (homeopathy) from the traditional medicine of his age. Today, allopathy means a medicine based on the principles of modern pharmacology. Anaphylactic shock Anaphylaxis (or an anaphylactic shock) is a whole-body, rapidly developing aller- gic reaction, which may lead to lethal respiratory and circulatory failure. Antibody Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to neutralize exogenous (external) substances. Chromatography, chromatogram Chromatography is the common name of different techniques used to separate mix- tures of compounds. HPLC stands for high-performance liquid chromatography. A chromatogram is the pattern of separated substances obtained by chromatography. Colloidal sol A colloidal sol is a suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Colloidal sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall effect (light scatter- ing by particles in a colloid). They can be quite stable. Examples include blood, pigmented ink, and paint. Colloidal sols can change their viscosity quickly if they © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014 311 L.

"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 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.
