Award-winning research benefits swine
By Sarah Danberg
Staff Reporter
Pseudorabies sounds like it belongs
in a horror movie, not in a barnyard.
But it’s a potentially fatal disease
that attacks swine. Luis Schang, a vet
erinary and biomedical sciences gradu
ate student, has won a national award
for his research on the disease.
He was awarded the Joseph J.
Garbarino Award, a national award
from the Animal Health Institute Foun
dation.
The pseudorabies virus causes an
acute infection that swine retain for
life. The virus has periods of dor
mancy, but sometimes reactivates and
spreads to other animals.
Schang found that by using vac
cines he could prevent or minimize
the virus and prevent death in herds.
This discovery is especially important
in areas such as Nebraska and Iowa,
he said, where farming is a big part of
the economy.
“There are many things we do not
understand that we should about this
virus,” Schang said.
He said the virus affected the cen
tral nervous system, resulting in respi
ratory, nervous and reproductive dis
orders.
Schang became interested in the
virus in his rural hometown in Argen
tina, 15 years ago.

Massage
Continued from Page 1
Gilbertson and her techniques are
popular with dancers and athletes,
Marvin said.
“She’s a real professional with a
good sense of humor,” Marvin said.
“She makes you feel comfortable, and
it’s worth the money.”
Gilbertson charges $25 for a half
hour session and $40 for an hour. She
gives students a special price of $30
per hour.
After initial visits to identify prob
lems in the body and align muscles
and internal structures, most people
like to come in once or twice a month
to relax and loosen muscles, Gilbertson
said.
But relaxing is tougher than it
sounds, she said.
Gilbertson said she relaxed her
patients by starting with a Swedish
massage.
“Each person is treated differently
depending on what my hands sense
about them,” Gilbertson said.
And her hands sense a lot, she said.
Gilbertson stumbled into the massage
profession. She had been going to a
chiropractor after a horse sat on her,
she said. When she suggested differ
ent ways the chiropractor could help
her, he remarked that she was very in
tune with her body, she said.
So Gilbertson decided to put that
talent to use and enrolled in the Omaha
School of Massage Therapy. She
opened her own practice once she
graduated.
“Massage is preventative medi
cine,” Gilbertson said. “It makes
muscles elastic to prevent injury, gets
rid of toxins and also makes you relax,
which makes a difference in the im
mune system.”
Crime
Continued from Page 1
Casady said. Most crimes are commit
ted by young adults between the ages
of 15 and 30, Casady said. That age
group has been rising in the city, he
said, and will continue to rise.
LPD has responded to the rise in
violent crimes by expandingits police
force by 22 positions in two years,
Casady said. The department now has
175 officers patrolling the street,
patrolling the streets.
Casady said Lincoln residents could
help prevent violent crime by keeping
their neighborhoods strong. Residents
should become active in Neighbor
hood Watch Associations, he said.
“I believe if we get our neighbor
hoods involved, we can avoid many
problems other communities have
had,” Casady said.
