- 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.

- 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.

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.

Show moreThis issue of the Pioneer Press includes the article "The Teetotoalling Days are Over". This article manly focuses the viewpoint of the draw backs of drinking whether or not the user is underage. The Author also stresses the fact that there is a need to raise the drinking age across the whole country in order to try and prevent under age citizens from drive from one state to another one whose legal drinking age is lower. This was all in the attempt to decrease the number of fatal car crashes across and within state boundaries. This is historically significant due to the fact that thought the early 70s and all the way till the late 90s there was a big push to raise the drinking age in all states across the country. This was due to the fact that the number of fatal car accidents were at an all time high. This movement to try to reduce the number of fatal crashes became a issue on the national stage in the early 1980. Mothers against Drunk Driving, which was created on September 5, 1980 in California, sought to spread awareness across both the United States and Canada of the dangers of drunk driving as well as driving under the influence of other drugs.

Protesters were in an attempt to put a halt on immigration and slow down the amount of reproduction by the use of condoms and birth control. This article sheds light on how overpopulation was viewed as pollution to the U.S. At the time period, people believed that this would result in less food, more homes to create, and overall non beneficial for the United States. This article also shows some of the ways that people influenced and motivated protests towards these issues going on.

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.

Show moreThis Pioneer Post (also known as Pioneer Press) edition contains articles about student life, local performances, and sports scores. Articles of note include:- An editorial, produced by a former IRJC student, tackles a conspiracy theory regarding Paul McCartney. Rumors circling his death have incited an investigation to determine if The Beatles member is still alive. Due to the immense following The Beatles have acquired during this time period, many young adults have devoted their time to coming up with conclusions. In the 1960s, The Beatles became an international sensation that appealed to young Americans (particularly young women). Their fame led to many obsessive followers creating rumors about their personal lives. One rumor in particular circled around the possible death of Paul McCartney. People began to vigorously search for clues that could indicate a “deceased Paul” in The Beatle’s music, causing a frenzy. Multiple conspiracy theories emerged including hidden messages in songs played backwards, symbolism in their album artwork, etc. This popularity reflected how influential The Beatles were during this time period where young Americans were rebellious towards traditional authority. This also shows how it is human nature to want simplistic answers that match our own worldviews.
- An opinion editorial, written by former IRJC student, Cary Brunswick, discusses a debate between the use of alcohol and marijuana during this time. Alcohol was widely accepted on college campuses, while marijuana use created controversy. Brunswick also talks about the effects each substance has on the human body, and calls for an "evaluation of judgement". Throughout the 1960s, many Americans began to experiment with new drugs such as marijuana and hallucinogens. Marijuana use was heavily criticized for its effects on the human body (and on human behavior). Since the 1960s was a time when young Americans rebelled against authority and the Vietnam War, marijuana use became more popular. The debate, which still stands today, poses the question: is marijuana really that much worse than alcohol?
- "Are You a Hippie?" An opinion editorial, written by former IRJC student Cary Brunswick, discusses what it means to be a "beatnik hippie". The article attempts to identify the difference between hippie behavior and hippie style. In the 1960s, the “hippie movement” emerged as a result of rebellion against social norms (especially due to American involvement in Vietnam). Hippies followed their own beliefs and ideals. Some of these ideals included shifting the media’s focus from “minute” issues (such as cleanliness and personal hygiene) to larger societal problems (including poverty, racial discrimination, law enforcement, etc.). Hippies were nonconformists in their thinking, their “free” and often rebellious lifestyles, and their protests against traditional American culture.
