  • Tongueometer Validation Study

    User Collection
    Collection thumbnail: Tongueometer Validation Study
    Type:
    Collection
    Description/Abstract:
    ABSTRACT Purpose: Tongue manometry (i.e. tongue pressure measurement) is a commonly used assessment for patients with suspected oral-motor involvement in swallowing disorders. Availability of lingual manometry has changed in recent years, with the introduction of the TongueometerTM device being a more affordable tongue manometry system. The purpose of this study was to test concurrent (criterion) validity of the TongueometerTM compared to the current standard reference device, the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument, IOPI®. Method: Adults without dysphagia were recruited for participation in this study. Standard lingual measurements (swallowing-related pressures, maximum isometric pressure (MIP), and maximum isometric endurance) were recorded, with the bulb anteriorly placed, with both devices, in a randomized order. The Bland-Altman method was used to determine concurrent (criterion) validity of these measurements compared to the clinical standard IOPI® device. A recently available suggested corrective value by Curtis and colleagues (2023) was also applied, with comparisons made between devices both with and without the Curtis correction. Results: The final sample included 70 adult participants aged 20-89 years (average age 52.3 years). Measures with the TongueometerTM device were significantly lower when compared with the same measures taken using the IOPI® (p<0.01) for all measures including MIP, endurance, and swallow pressures. The correction suggested by Curtis and colleagues did not ameliorate these differences. Conclusions: The TongueometerTM lingual measurements were consistently lower compared to the IOPI®. Clinical use of values taken with the TongueometerTM device should be compared to normative data published for each specific device. Available features of each device (e.g. display, bulb texture, technology/application) should be considered when selecting which device to use with an individual patient.

    Description/Abstract:
    Half a century ago, thoracic surgeon Paul W. Schafer, MD., believed that the centriole, which was barely visible in light microscopy, was different from all other organelles. He advanced electron micrographic studies that suggested the centrioles had inter-cellular order, i.e., that they might have communication or “force at a distance” interaction.

    User Collection
    Collection thumbnail: Non-muscle myosin II 2026
    Type:
    Collection
    Description/Abstract:
    Background: Non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA; encoded by MYH9) has been implicated in breast cancer progression; however, its clinical significance and therapeutic potential in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer remain poorly defined. We investigated the clinical significance of NMIIA and evaluated the anti-tumour activity of the selective NMII inhibitor MT-228. Methods: NMIIA expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in a cohort of 1,142 patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to characterize binding of MT-228 to NMIIA. The effects of MT-228 were assessed in breast cancer cell lines using assays of cell viability, migration, three-dimensional invasion, DNA damage, apoptosis, and combination studies with FDA approved HER kinase inhibitors Neratinib and Tucatinib. Results: High NMIIA expression was associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with HER2 immunoreactive breast cancer. Computational analyses demonstrated that MT-228 forms favorable binding interactions and stabilized the NMIIA motor domain. MT-228 inhibited cell growth across multiple breast cancer subtypes. In HER2+ cell lines, MT-228 suppressed migration and 3D invasion, increased γH2AX foci formation, caspase-3/7 enzyme activity, and PARP cleavage, and enhanced the anti-proliferative activity of Neratinib and Tucatinib. Conclusions: Our findings identify NMII as a potential therapeutic target in HER2 immunoreactive breast cancer and support further investigation of selective NMII inhibition either alone or in combination with anti-HER therapies.

  • New Drama in Spanish

    User Collection
    Collection thumbnail: New Drama in Spanish
    Type:
    Collection
    Description/Abstract:
    During the fall semester of 2013, guest fellow Ignacio García May, from Spain, taught a Taft Research Seminar on the techniques of writing for the theater. The seminar was supported by Andrés Pérez-Simón, Assistant Professor of Spanish, who acted as convener, and Patricia O'Connor, Emerita Professor of Spanish, who was available in an advisory capacity. During the first sessions of the seminar, Prof. García May provided the basic rules of playwriting: * Playwriting’s specificity as opposed to any other form of writing. Dramatic text as a voluntarily unfinished and problematic text. * Different kinds of dramatic structures, plots and subplots * Real time vs. stage time; the triggering incident; dramatic progression. * The world in a nutshell: unlimited-but-limited spaces of drama. * Language of drama: dialogues, monologues, didascalia (stage direction). * Defining characters: agon (in ancient Greek: conflict, combat, dispute) as foundation of relationship. * Reality is not always believable: plausibility vs. truth. * Mechanics of comedy. * Mechanics of tragedy. Then, under the guidance of professors Pérez-Simón and García May, the students developed their own original short plays using the information received. The finished plays were read and discussed in class. Although none of the students had previous experience in playwriting, all the resulting short plays were worthy, and some of them were first class and deserve to be published. It was considered a good idea to create a digital repository that could be maintained as a dynamic file of dramatic texts, where future writers (and even well-established playwrights in Spanish language) could publish their own plays. In addition to original creations, translations of plays done by UC students—undergraduate or graduate—could also be published in this archive. Finally, the repository contains the videos of two lectures delivered by prof. García May in October and November 2013, available for free download. The creation of this repository was overseen by Arlene Johnson, Associate Senior Librarian and Digital Humanities Strategist, and Nathan Tallman, Assistant Librarian and Digital Content Strategist, in collaboration with prof. Pérez-Simón. This is a project of interdisciplinary nature and global scope, two pillars of the UC2019 Strategic Plan.

    Description/Abstract:
    In the summer of 2015, UC English Emerita Professor Lucille M. Schultz donated to the University of Cincinnati’s Department of English and Comparative Literature her archive of 19th-century composition and rhetoric textbooks and handbooks, and several sets of student papers and letters from the same period. Professor Schultz collected these materials during her 26-year career as a scholar of rhetoric and composition at UC. Professor Schultz made high-quality photocopies of the included materials from 15 libraries and archives around the country, primarily from collections at the Library of Congress and at Harvard University’s Monroe C. Gutman Library. She published a number of articles based on the collection and two scholarly monographs--The Young Composers: Composition’s Beginnings in Nineteenth-Century Schools (1999), the first full-length history of school-based writing instruction, and the co-written, with Jean Ferguson Carr and Stephen L. Carr, Archives of Instruction: Nineteenth-Century Rhetorics, Readers, and Composition Books in the United States. The latter was awarded the MLA’s 2005 Mina P. Shaughnessy Prize, "presented for an outstanding scholarly book in the fields of language, culture, literacy, and literature that has a strong application to the teaching of English." Schultz, who spent nearly ten years locating the materials included in the archive, believes her collection includes all extant 19th-century school-based composition books that are publicly available. The archive, however, does not contain every edition of every book. The Schultz archive provides a thorough vision of composition practices in 19th-century U.S. schools. With 257 entries representing the period from 1785 to 1916, the collection includes, among other artifacts, picture books for early primary school students, 103 grammar handbooks, and advanced rhetoric textbooks for college students. The materials highlight practices we would today identify as prewriting, freewriting, object-oriented pedagogy, student-centered activities, and multimodal composing. Including lessons, student examples, and images, the texts provide glimpses into 19th-century lives, material cultures, and pedagogical practices. The archive also helps readers understand the socially conservative nature of textbooks: great attention is paid to Christopher Columbus, for example; "demon rum" is seen as an evil, resulting in poverty; and slavery gets no mention. In thus putting a lens on the past, the archive invites reader to reexamine the present. In addition, the Schultz archive provides a complex backdrop to the origins of rhetoric and composition and to the formation of literacy instruction in the U.S. For example, included texts offer a variety of references to the cultural implications of composition instruction. These cultural components are represented through discussions of cultural assimilation, cultural separation/distinction, religion and the acquisition of "high" culture. In one salient example, George Thompson, in Letters to Sabbath-School Children on Africa (1855), writes about composition instruction as taught by American missionaries to children in Africa. Much of this text addresses the superiority of the English language and the necessity of teaching children to use it properly. Thompson’s text effectively demonstrates cultural assimilation practices as they relate to nonnative English speakers. The practice of cultural assimilation through language also emerges in David Blair’s The Universal Preceptor: Being a General Grammar of Arts, Sciences, and Useful Knowledge (1826), which argues for the exclusion of borrowed words and idiomatic expressions in an effort to purify the English language. As this snapshot of the archive suggests, the included materials provide a foundation for fruitful research that could examine contemporaneous documents, laws and historical events that have contributed to the assimilation of native and immigrant cultures in the U.S. during the 19th-century (and beyond). The texts invite comparison to contemporary rhetorics related to English-only laws and educational practices, as well as the continued suppression of nondominant languages and cultures within U.S. literacy education. And this is only the beginning. Scholars may also be interested in the archive to study student writing, teacher response methods, classroom conditions and materials, and many other subjects that pertain to literacy instruction during the 19th-century. Since receiving this comprehensive collection in 2015, graduate students in rhetoric and composition at UC have begun using it as a resource for research projects. By digitizing the collection, our goal is to welcome more users to access the collection. With assistance from the Taft Research Center and the UC library archivists, the resulting online database is available to scholars across the country and around the world, making possible wide public access to a collection of materials otherwise unavailable in a single archive. Those interested in browsing the print copies of the Schultz archive, currently housed in 110 McMicken Hall, please contact Professor Russel Durst at  russel.durst@uc.edu to set up an appointment. To access a complementary 19th-century collection of schoolbooks, visit the Nietz Old Textbook Collection housed at the University of Pittsburgh. ( http://digital.library.pitt.edu/nietz/)

    Description/Abstract:
    For Jacques Lacan, “psychoanalysis is the discipline which has reestablished the bridge linking modern man to the ancient myths.” This bridge towards myth that inevitably runs through the unconscious lays bare the scaffolding of culture. Famously, for Lacan, the unconscious is structured like a language, operating in one part through chains of signifiers which comprise a register of experience called the Symbolic. This Symbolic order, in relation to its two counterparts the Imaginary and the Real, is anchored by a fundamental signifier, the Symbolic Father, also called the Name-of-the-Father. Not necessarily a literal father, the Name-of-the-Father represents the lawgiving and morally punitive function that confers identity and legitimacy to the subject, in a clinical sense; culturally, it represents the guarantor of the laws, rules, and authority that comprise society. It imposes meaning. If repressed, meaning collapses, and the subject falls back into the Imaginary order, the order of fantasy. Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ towering bronze, 'The Puritan,' first unveiled in Springfield, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day in 1887, appears at first to exemplify the Name-of-the-Father as a dramatic consolidation of shared history and moral authority in an age of surfeited civic virtue. This is, however, only smoke and mirrors, a taste of the Lacanian Imaginary. In its embodiment of imagined Puritan virtue, it hides a dissonance between Puritanism, the artist, and an evolving nation struggling to define itself in its Gilded Age. Any meaningful study on The Puritan, particularly one dependent upon historical and social context, is indebted art historian Erika Doss. Her painstaking work in “Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s The Puritan: Founders’ Statues, Indian Wars, Contested Public Spaces, and Anger’s Memory in Springfield, Massachusetts” (2012) is a key interlocutor that provides rather crucial social and cultural contexts surrounding the statue. Where Doss presents a comprehensive socio-political account, this paper approaches The Puritan from a distinctly psychoanalytic perspective, expanding her insights through Lacanian theory. In doing so, I argue that, in the wake of cultural uncertainty following the American Civil War, Saint-Gaudens’ The Puritan (1886) functions as a compensatory and contradictory fantasy of moral authority; as a foreboding yet caricatural paternal archetype, it fails as a Lacanian signifier of the Symbolic Father, exposing the fragility and ultimately the neurosis of Gilded Age myth-making. Upon interrogation of The Puritan in the ideological significance of its patronage, its formal contradictions, and finally, its psychic disfigurement through parody, my paper uncovers how civic art does not simply reflect ideology, it actively constructs and performs it as a symptom of a myth-making society.

    Description/Abstract:
    The overuse of plastic containers in greenhouse and nursery production surpasses the amount being recycled. A solution to this issue involves a shift in the materials used for making containers. Specifically, containers employed for plant growth are single-use due to the higher costs associated with reusing them in production. Due to chemicals used during the growing process recycling containers is challenging. Transitioning to eco-friendly alternatives holds the promise of positively impacting the environment and curbing plastic waste generated in growing containerized plants. This research delves into the types of plastics currently utilized, their purposes, and the recycling processes involved. This is compared to new eco-friendly container options, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. The significance of this study is exploring potential materials for manufacturing containers in greenhouse and nursery production. The result of this paper finds alternatives to plastic, fostering sustainability and reducing reliance on plastic for containers, thereby contributing to a more sustainable industry.

    Description/Abstract:
    Over 400,000 quarries have been left abandoned and seemingly in a state of disrepair once their resources have been depleted or no longer valued. Before 1977, there were no laws or regulations in place to protect these sites. Owners and contractors were able to leave the site as is with tools, machinery, jagged rocks, slabs of cut stone, trash, and anything in between. This project explores the oldest marble quarry in the country, the Norcross-West marble quarry located in Dorset, Vermont. The design answers the question of how to repurpose this site by combining the site history to create educational opportunities, vegetation implementation to create habitats for at risk species, and sustainable practices such as marble carving and rainwater collection create a space that fulfills needs within the site that have long sense been forgotten. These practices reform the space and set a precedent for the dozens of other nearby abandoned and active quarry sites.
