The article discusses the political and social aspects of Roman Catholic religious leader Pope Francis' proposed visit to the U.S. in 2015. According to the article, American President Barack Obama's aides have been working with U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Ken Hackett regarding Pope Francis' political agenda. Disability rights and global warming are examined, as well as the views of 2016 U.S. Republican and Democratic presidential candidates such as Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton.

A recent systematic review conducted by researchers at Liberty University examined the failure rates of arthroscopic revision Bankart repair for recurrent shoulder instability following Bankart lesion repair. The review analyzed twenty-five articles written between 2000 and 2024 and found that revision arthroscopic Bankart repair is a viable option in the absence of bipolar bone loss. However, open coracoid transfer was found to have lower recurrence rates compared to arthroscopic Bankart repair. The study suggests that further research is needed to define cutoffs and investigate the roles of critical glenoid bone loss and off-track Hill-Sachs lesions in order to identify ideal candidates for arthroscopic revision Bankart repair.

A Virginia district court judge ruled that Liberty University must face a former transgender worker's discrimination claim after she was fired for disclosing her transgender status and intention to transition. The worker, hired as an IT apprentice, received positive reviews until revealing her transgender identity, leading to termination based on the university's religious beliefs. The judge found that religious institutions cannot discriminate on the basis of sex, even if motivated by religion, highlighting the delicate balance between eradicating discrimination and respecting religious freedom.

ARLINGTON, Va. — Religion is an often‐overlooked yet essential component of holistic student development, according to Steven Mosley, Program Manager at Northern Virginia Community College and an ordained reverend; and Aaron Sparkman, M.A.T., Director of Residential Community Standards at Liberty University. They spoke at the annual conference for the Association for Student Conduct Administration. They shared their practical tips on how to appropriately incorporate religious ideas in such areas as student conduct processes, student meetings, and peer interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A recent report from Liberty University discusses the impact of irregular geometry and complex feed waveform on pulsating arterial mass transfer. The study focused on the perivascular spaces (PVS) in the brain, which are thought to play a role in clearing proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies were conducted using a digitized scan of a mouse brain PVS segment, comparing it to a cylinder with similar parameters. The results showed that the anatomically correct PVS geometry did not provide significant protein clearance benefits. The findings suggest that incorporating PVS geometry into existing arterial network models would pose minimal risk. [Extracted from the article]

A new study on robotics, titled "Dielectric Elastomer-Based Actuators: A Modeling and Control Review for Non-Experts," has been released by a researcher at Liberty University. The study focuses on soft robotics and their potential applications in various fields, such as biomedicine, the film industry, ecology, and human-robot interactions. Specifically, the study examines dielectric elastomer-based actuators, which are electro-active polymer smart materials, and provides an overview of their implementation, materials, controls, and portability. The research concludes by suggesting the use of rewritable hardware for faster and more adaptive controls. For more information, the full article can be accessed for free at the provided link.

A recent study conducted by researchers at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, explores the connection between neurodegenerative diseases and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The study suggests that BBB leakiness can lead to inflammation and damage to the microvasculature, as well as the accumulation of misfolded toxic proteins. The researchers propose the use of noninvasive imaging and serologic biomarkers to identify preclinical disease and potential new targets for future treatments. The study also discusses risk factors, preventative measures, and potential treatment targets for neurodegenerative diseases. For more information, readers can refer to the article published in Diagnostics. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Liberty University have conducted a pilot study on craniocerebral trauma, specifically mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The study utilized 3D ASL MRI (arterial spin labeling) to assess glymphatic clearance rates (GCRs) and cognitive changes in mTBI patients. The results showed that mTBI disrupts the blood brain barrier, reducing GCRs. The study suggests that ASL MRI could be a potential noninvasive biomarker for mTBI and recovery.

Researchers at West Liberty University have published a study on Francisella tularensis, a bacterium that causes tularemia. The study focuses on the use of fluorescent proteins to study microbial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions. The researchers discovered that linking a specific N-terminal peptide to fluorescent proteins increased the fluorescence emission of bacteria expressing these recombinant fusions. This finding could potentially enhance protein expression in bacteria and serve as an economical alternative to codon optimization. The study was supported by various organizations, including the National Heart Lung And Blood Institute and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. [Extracted from the article]

The article reports on the Reverend Jerry Falwell and his son, Jerry Jr. and their efforts to save their evangelical institutions, Thomas Road Baptist Church and Liberty University. He and his son have spent the last few years battling to work off $100 million-plus in debt, just as donations have shriveled. It came out that the source of Liberty's ramshackle financial state was an overreliance on donations from Falwell's diminishing TV ministry. Falwell plans on investing $82 million in construction projects for the university.

The article presents a speech by Ted Cruz, U.S. Senator from Texas, delivered as announcement of candidacy for U.S. president, Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia on March 23, 2015. Topics of the speech included constitution of the U.S., purpose of the constitution and signing of obamacare into the law.

A recent report from Liberty University discusses research on cell surface receptors, specifically the glucose sensing receptors (GSRs) Rgt2 and Snf3. The study found that the cytoplasmic C-terminal tails of these receptors play multiple roles in glucose sensing and signaling. Swapping the tails between Rgt2 and Snf3 did not affect their signaling activity as long as the tails were phosphorylated. Additionally, the tails were found to be important for the endocytosis of the receptors triggered by different cellular stimuli. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of glucose sensing and signaling in yeast cells. [Extracted from the article]
