The Impacts Of External Patient Variables On Gene Expression Profiles Of Lung Adenocarcinomas, Michael Madsen
CMC Senior Theses
The search for improvements to detection and treatment of cancers is a paramount goal for all of medicine. The most important step for oncological research is to expand the knowledge base of the genetic characteristics and abnormalities that give rise to cancer. In our present day, one of the most pressing and deadly forms of cancer is that of the lung, with lung adenocarcinomas being the most prevalent variation of the disease. Improving our cancer genomic insight can provide the seedings for improved cancer detection, novel cancer treatment, and serve as a guide for avenues to explore with future oncological …
More Than A Myth: The Benefits Of Incorporating Holistic Healing Methods From Native American And Mexican Cultures To Approach Opioid Use Disorder (Oud) Treatment, Juliana Favela
CMC Senior Theses
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a substance use disorder that characterizes a dependence on and an addiction to opioids. Opioids attack the prefrontal cortex, the dopaminergic reward system, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis which is responsible for the body’s stress response. Opioids constantly shift one’s “set point” to the point where normal actions that cause joy and excitement no longer cause those feelings, resulting in craving and dependence. The opioid epidemic is currently ravaging the United States and has disproportionately affected Native American populations specifically in the rural areas (Tipps, et.al, 2018). The current methods for addressing OUD include medicine …
