This issue of the Pioneer Post contains an article called "To Die A Foetal Death". This article argues that mixing alcohol and getting behind the wheel is dangerous and leads to many unexpected deaths. In the article, the author explains that people make poor decisions while impaired. The author cites the statistic that drunk driving leads to around 40,000 deaths. This article would be relevant to someone interested in how society viewed reckless driving. The drinking age at the time the article was written was 18 and punishments for drunk driving were less severe then in the 21st century. At this time people started to debate drinking and driving. This article argues that mixing alcohol and getting behind the wheel is dangerous and lead to many unexpected deaths. summary and historical context written by Matthew Antonius in Dr. Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH 2020.

This issue of Pioneer Post includes the political cartoon "Henry David Thoreau is born from a baloonery". This political cartoon focuses on some of the significant issues going on during 1971 such as debates on pollution and overpopulation among the U.S. People believed that foreign immigration to the U.S. and the amount of reproduction was causing overpopulation and was viewed as polluting America. 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.
Summary and historical context written by Shaun Tyler Jones, in Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

At 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.

Lack of information on unique diseases has led to research on human components associated with disease defense such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), also known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). This genetic complex produces three classes of MHC receptors in humans, MHC/HLA I, II, and III, located on the cell membrane. MHC is a highly polymorphic gene complex with high linkage disequilibrium. Molecular changes and mutations on units of the MHC increase susceptibility for disease. These findings led to procedures which purposely induced changes on the MHC to prove its association with disease susceptibility. Analyzing and sequencing the genome of the HLA gene region is an important part of understanding the MCH, but sequencing can be difficult due to its high polymorphism trait. These issues led to faster, more efficient, and cheaper methods for sequencing not just the HLA but any gene region. Technology such as mass spectrometry is also facilitating characterization of HLAs, and finding disease correlations. With these advances in technology, a source for various diseases can be found.

Dental pulp stem cell research has provided new understanding regarding the subtle differences from the more commonly studied mesenchymal stem cells. The ability to differentiate into various types of cells, the ease of extraction, and ability to maintain clonogenic properties in cell cultures have led dental pulp stem cells to be an attractive alternative focus in stem cell therapeutic research. The recent research advancements that have led an endeavor for application in medicine and therapeutics are reviewed.
