Living with climate change: adapting to water and wind in coastal communities

Global warming is inevitable in this century. We will experience increased average temperatures, flooding, rising sea level, insect-spread infections, population displacement/eco-migration and an increased number and strength of tropical storms. Coastal areas throughout the world have begun to experience a loss of land due to rising sea levels and are likely to experience more hazardous weather and an increase of flooding. This thesis will explore an architectural approach to the design of a community to adapt to floodwaters and hazardous air movements in order to prevent the displacement of coastal residents. This coastal community prototype will involve the conceptual design of a community, in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans, at two scales of design. First at the scale of the community - looking at the urban plan and topography of a 4.5 square mile area of the Lower Ninth Ward. The second at the scale of an individual residence, a home within the community that will accommodate a family of 4. The residence uses amphibious principles to adapt to changing water levels.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?

Anti-GQ1b ganglioside positive Miller Fisher syndrome - evidence of paranodal pathology on nerve biopsy

BACKGROUND: Miller Fisher syndrome is a regional variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome with a characteristic clinical triad of ophthalmoplegia, areflexia and ataxia and occasionally distal limb sensory loss. 90% of patients have associated antibodies to the GQ1b ganglioside. The pathophysiology of antibody-mediated peripheral nerve impairment remains uncertain. This report includes the first description of a peripheral sensory nerve biopsy in Miller Fisher syndrome. RESULTS: A single case report is described of a 46 year old woman who presented with 2 weeks of distal glove and stocking sensory loss to both deep and superficial sensory modalities, areflexia and weight loss. This was followed by rapid onset of ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and bulbar impairment. Peripheral neurophysiology showed reduced sensory nerve amplitudes with preserved conduction velocities in keeping with an axonal pattern of impairment. Clinical concerns of a systemic inflammatory disorder led to a diagnostic peripheral nerve biopsy from the sensory branch of the radial nerve. However she subsequently made a complete recovery over 5 weeks. Combinatorial glycoarrays confirmed restricted serum binding for GQ1b in acute serum which later resolved in a convalescent sample. The nerve biopsy showed lengthening of nodes of Ranvier, myelin splitting and macrophage internodal axonal invasion without any features of demyelination. CONCLUSIONS: The pathological features were strikingly similar to those found in acute motor axonal neuropathy and indicate the region of the node of Ranvier to be a primary focus of GQ1b induced damage in Miller Fisher syndrome, at least in this particular overlap syndrome with prominent sensory nerve involvement
