- Trans Fats and Metabolic Syndrome.
- Abstract/Description
-
Two issues affecting health today are metabolic syndrome and trans fats. Metabolic syndrome is a common condition that has no single known cause. Trans fats are fatty acids that can be artificially made and added to food, or can naturally occur in ruminant-derived foods. There has been speculation that metabolic syndrome and trans fats are correlated. Studies indicate both positive and negative correlations between metabolic syndrome and the consumption of trans fats.

Show moreAt one time, memory was recorded by story tellers who kept oral records of the past. Since mankind has moved from an oral to a literate culture, documenting narratives and experiences has been the objective of writers and photographers. In this second issue of The Indian River Review, our contributors share their creative memories in different forms. Poets tell us about an overhead conversation that stings with criticism, a lost love who seems to disappear, a summer afternoon that stretches far ahead. Other authors carve out stories of their ancestors never met and parents they idolized. These textual memories are mixed in this issue with photographic evidence of time, moments of time that have been stopped for us to examine closely. The editors hope our readers will enjoy these shared memories a much as we have.

Show moreWelcome to the inaugural edition of The Indian River Review! The germ of an idea that was dropped into fecund soil years ago has finally propagated, put down spidery roots, sprouted like a green–leaved seedling above the brackish surface. We hope that like the red mangroves that shape our namesake river The Indian River Review will serve as fertile habitat for the literary and photographic arts of the Treasure Coast and help protect against the erosion of the cultural and artistic stratum that makes any place a rich one to live. Although our roots are local—the editors are all Indian River State College faculty—our scope tends outward beyond the region: we received submissions from Eastern Europe and China, as well as from across the United States. The theme of the issue is Time and Place, and these poems and stories and essays are testament to the power of the particular: this gravestone or Agave bottle or Chicago street-corner, that instant when the breath is held, the phone call that changes everything. In short, we have been enriched by the endeavor; we hope you are too.

- Structural Evaluation of the Optic Nerve Head.

Precise morphological evaluation of the optic nerve head is essential to accurately diagnose glaucoma, especially in diverse patient populations. Interpretation of the physical structure of the optic nerve head includes optic disc size, cup to disc ratio, vertical disc diameter and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. I hypothesize that there are subtle differences in the optic nerve head appearance based on age, gender, race and refractive error that can predict an increased likelihood of...
Show morePrecise morphological evaluation of the optic nerve head is essential to accurately diagnose glaucoma, especially in diverse patient populations. Interpretation of the physical structure of the optic nerve head includes optic disc size, cup to disc ratio, vertical disc diameter and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. I hypothesize that there are subtle differences in the optic nerve head appearance based on age, gender, race and refractive error that can predict an increased likelihood of glaucoma development and degree of irreversible vision loss. Detailed measurements of the optic nerve head were taken using advanced imaging technology called an optical coherence tomography (OCT). Data were analyzed using regression analysis to determine potential correlations between the impact of the physical characteristics of the optic nerve with the development of glaucoma. Individual variables were compared using ANOVA. On average, subjects with high myopia included in the study were shown to have larger disc areas than those with mild to moderate myopia and have an increased risk of developing glaucoma. In addition, patients with a positive family history of glaucoma are more likely to develop advanced versions of the disease.

Show moreFlorida's Attorney General Robert Shevin visits Indian River State College in 1975. Mr. Shevin gave a short speech and then followed with a question and answer session. The topics included his reasons for Florida's rising crime rate, which he listed as tourism, growing population, open coastlines, unemployment, and the lack of rehabilitation when criminals are released from jail. During the question and answer sessions, he speculated on topics that included mass media reporting, legalization of marijuana, property line setbacks, and recent changes in the Supreme Court. Mr. Shevin concluded his Q & A with his thoughts on capital punishment, in which he stated he is in favor of the death penalty. Robert L. Shevin was Florida's Attorney General from 1971-1979. During his visit to Indian River State College in 1975, he was questioned on his opinion of the new Supreme Court ruling, allowing rape victims names to be released in the press. This ruling was decided in the Supreme Court case Cox Broadcasting Corp v. Cohn, just shy of a month before Shevin appeared at the College. A television reporter, employed by an appellant broadcasting station, during a news report of a rape case, released a deceased rape victim's name. The victim's father brought action against the broadcasting station, claiming his right to privacy had been violated. Martin Cohn, the victim's father, originally succeeded in court by suing WSB and the reporter, claiming it violated Georgia's shield law and his common-law right to privacy. Before the case could proceed at state trial court, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear Cox's appeal. The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of Cox broadcasting, holding Georgia's shield law and its common-law counterpart violated the First Amendment. Since Cox's reporter obtained the name in a public document in open court, the court held that later publication was actively protected by the First Amendment. Summary and historical context provided by Jamie Cairns as part of Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

A political cartoon addresses the nationally occurring culture wars of the 1960's. A political cartoon gives us a local perspective of a national political and social issue regarding cultural wars of the 1960's; warning students of "the gap" between conservative Americans and those following the anti-war peace movements. Both groups are fighting for what they believe is right for the United States; depicted is an eagle being strangled as both parties pull to have it on their side. The strangled eagle highlights the harm caused by this cultural gap among Americans. Summary and historical context created by Whitney Durcharme as part of Dr. Michelle Carraigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

Articles of interest include "Women Graduates from IRJC'S Police Academy". A woman named Fonda Doane, despite the author's emphasis on her feminine qualities, becomes the first woman to graduate from IRCC Policy Academy dominated by men. In spite of her being an outlier in class, she enjoyed it with some embarrassing moments and dirty jokes. In 1972, only 2% of all police officers and sheriffs across America were females. Female police officers in the 1970s experienced gender stereotypes and sexual harassment. There were some who battled hard to earn their respect which shined a light upon them to encourage more women to become officers. In 1973, a woman named Fonda Doane became the first woman to graduate from IRJC Police Academy despite the stereotypes and sexist comments. With her and other brave police officers being an example, hopefully, more will pursue this career soon. Now the percentage of females in the force is 13% which is not a drastic boost, but it is improving.Summary written by Malik Girondin, in Dr. Carrigan's AMH 2020 H2SL (Honors/Service Learning).

Show moreThis issue of the Pioneer Press includes an article called "Selective Service". During the early 1970s, the Selective Service System explained a few changes to their policy on undergraduate student deferments or postponements. For the colleges students who were already enrolled full-time for the 70-71 academic year would be eligible deferments in the upcoming academic year depending on how well the perform academically in their individual areas of study. But, those who had enrolled during the summer or incoming freshmen would not qualify as deferments, if and only if these awaiting changes are passed by congress. They are less likely to be inducted in the future because of the deferment phase out. Due to the phase out, approximately half would be directly affected and probably not be enlisted. Director of Selective Service stated that college students will not be drafted mid semester. Incoming freshmen were advised not to apply for student deferments even though the existing law did allow admitting deferments to students enrolling full-time. A large percentage of men with deferments lose their delay privileges during a one-year period due to fatherhood, work, or other student deferments. This item might be relevant to local researchers because it has important information about the Vietnam War and the draft. It contains vital information explaining what the Selective Service System is composed of. This resource will be very helpful to those who would like to investigate exactly what was going on locally in the 1970s in regards to Selective Service and the war. For example, which men were considered, what age group was more dominant, what were the restrictions to the young men admitted, why some men were not admitted or even considered, the process of admitting, etc. There is very resourceful information about this event and what was happening locally. Summary and historical context created by Natalia Garcia as part of Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.
