Find full textPreterm birth is the leading cause of newborn mortality, with 15 million babies born premature worldwide every year. Children that do survive early delivery are more likely to develop cognitive abnormalities, motor deficits, heart disease, cerebral palsy, and more. While little is known about the pathophysiology of preterm birth, several pregnancy-related complications are related to preterm birth, namely cervical insufficiency and preeclampsia. In the former, premature cervical remodeling and softening can result in the shortening of the cervix, increasing a woman’s risk of preterm birth; this condition is called cervical insufficiency (CI), which is the inability of the cervix to remain closed as a result of weakened tissues. CI is currently measured by a one-dimensional sonographic cervical length, where < 25 mm indicates shortening. Preeclampsia is a disorder that can be explained through the Page kidney phenomenon: compression of the left renal vein (LRV) causes renal venous outflow obstruction, leading to elevated intrarenal pressure and hypertension. The supine pressor test (SPT) is a diagnostic tool for preeclampsia where a positive test is defined by an increase of 20 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure (BP) when shifting from the left lateral recumbent to the supine position. Due to the intense risk of morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the fetus, the need to monitor BP changes is critical. Currently, there is an unmet clinical need to characterize the hemodynamic and geometric properties of the female reproductive organs throughout gestation. Utilizing ultrasound imaging can increase our knowledge about the 3D anatomy and systemic changes during pregnancy, unravel risk factors, establish preventative methods, and standardize treatment plans. In this thesis research, we developed a murine model to 1) examine the pathophysiology of renal vein stenosis, and 2) investigate the effects of stenosis on various cervical dimensions. Renal vein stenosis was found to greatly impact blood flow velocities, as well as cervical width (p<0.05). LRV and cervical area and height also trend towards significance, and there is negative damage to the left kidney and placentae within the stenosed cohort. We also conducted a human study that showed reduced change in postural BP in patients with higher body mass index (BMI). Systolic and diastolic BP in the supine position was significantly greater than in the lateral position for all BMIs with a baseline increase in BP of approximately 9-14 mmHg. These findings suggest that therapeutic positioning and close monitoring of BP could mitigate the risk of developing related disorders in pregnancy.

Find full textAn increasing number of individuals with physical disabilities or mental disorders are incorporating specially trained service dogs as an assistance aid to improve functionality. In addition to the tasks that service dogs are rained for, studies also suggest that service dogs may benefit psychosocial health and wellbeing. However, current knowledge on these potential benefits is limited by methodological weaknesses without multi-method assessment. There remains a need for empirical and replicable quantification the psychosocial outcomes of service dog assistance and companionship.
The objective of Chapters 1-3 was to summarize, evaluate, and quantify the effects of service dogs on psychosocial health among individuals with physical disabilities. Chapter 1 conducted a systematic literature review of N=24 articles describing the effects of guide, hearing, mobility, and medical service dogs on standardized measures of psychosocial functioning. Chapters 2 and 3 conducted an empirical investigation using quantitative and qualitative methods to quantify the psychosocial effects of mobility and medical service dogs among N=154 individuals with physical disabilities. Results identified specific psychological, social, and emotional benefits that are associated with having an assistance dog or service dog among diverse populations with physical disabilities or chronic conditions.
The objective of Chapters 4-6 was to quantify the role of psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 military veterans with PTSD. Chapter 4 quantified the perceived importance, frequency of use, and therapeutic value of service dog behaviors for N=216 military veterans with PTSD. Chapters 5 and 6 then quantified the effects that PTSD service dogs on psychosocial outcomes and physiological indicators of functioning, respectively, among a sample of N=141 military veterans with PTSD. Results identified therapeutic components, tangible psychosocial benefits, and potential physiological mechanisms of psychiatric service dogs for military veterans with PTSD.
Overall, this research combined quantitative, qualitative, and physiological measurement to describe outcomes of service dog pairings in two different at-risk populations. Results provide non-causational evidence of psychosocial benefits from service dogs for individuals with physical disabilities or mental disorders. Findings provide a basis for further large-scale research to disentangle active components of the assistance dog-human partnership and identify potential mediating variables of effects.(9166544), Lindsey M. Macdonald. "The Right to Health: A Rhetorical Assemblage of Mental Health Advocacy and Legislation." Thesis, 2020.
Find full textThis dissertation examines the relationship between legislation and advocacy as forms of professional communication and interrogates their influence on mental health in the United States. Through a case study of one mental health nonprofit’s advocacy materials and interactions with the legislative process, this dissertation demonstrates the entanglements between legislation and advocacy materials and how their circulation impacts mental health outcomes at the national, state, and local levels. I use two major research strategies to conduct my case study: 1) structured interviews with staff members from the nonprofit’s national, Indiana state, and local offices and 2) a qualitative analysis of mental health legislation at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as the nonprofit’s advocacy materials using Rhetorical Ecologies and Assemblage Theory as the primary theoretical frameworks. My findings suggest that, although both the organization and legislative bodies in the United States have some hierarchal tendencies, they function more like a rhizomatic, multilevel assemblage that is constantly evolving and growing as a result of the communicative interactions among its various components. This is due largely in part to the organization’s grassroots structure, which enables staff and supporters from the state and local levels to affect change within and beyond the organization. Although components at the federal/national level have the most significant affects across the assemblage, my findings demonstrate how state and local components can disrupt or deterritorialise the assemblage to create new “lines of flight” or “flows” that expand the assemblage (DeLanda, 2006, 2016; Deleuze & Guattari, 1987; Fox & Alldred, 2015).
The findings and conclusions generated from this dissertation have several implications for mental health advocacy organizations, Technical and Professional Communication (TPC) pedagogy, and the Rhetoric of Health and Medicine (RHM) and the broader field of Rhetoric and Composition. For advocacy organizations, it provides a framework for tracking the potential material impacts of advocacy initiatives and legislation. For TPC pedagogy, it enables instructors to frame professional genres as components of a larger assemblage or organizational/institutional system, rather than as static artifacts. Finally, for RHM and Rhetoric and Composition, it provides a methodology for engaging in institutional and systems research that can be adapted to other rhetorical contexts.
