Family Based Treatment For Adults With Anorexia Nervosa Using Insights From Neurobiology, The Center For Balanced Living
Learning Showcase 2016: A Celebration of Discovery, Transformation and Success
Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a biologically-based brain disorder, which has the highest death rate of all mental illnesses. No effective treatments exist for adults with severe and enduring AN (5-7+ years). Brain imaging studies at University of California San Diego on AN temperament, cognition and eating show common traits related to neural function. The temperaments are characterized by increased trait anxiety and state anxiety related to food and eating, high incidence of co-morbid anxiety disorders, high punishment sensitivity and low reward reactivity, elevated intolerance of uncertainty and exaggerated harm avoidance (HA). HA is a multifaceted temperament trait that contains elements …

Evaluating Human Cell Survival And Dna Damage After Exposure To Various Amounts Of Chlorine Dioxide And Exploring Its Use As A Potential Cancer Chemotherapy Agent, Niuska Mariana Alvarez Fuenmayor
Evaluating Human Cell Survival And Dna Damage After Exposure To Various Amounts Of Chlorine Dioxide And Exploring Its Use As A Potential Cancer Chemotherapy Agent, Niuska Mariana Alvarez Fuenmayor
SURF - Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Projects
Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a synthetic, green-yellowish gas with a chlorine-like, irritating odor that is used for the treatment of drinking water and food preservation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic potential of the chlorine dioxide in mammalian cells and to determine what dose of ClO2 is tolerable by normal cells and cells with aberrant DNA repair genes. Human and mouse embryonic cells were treated with various ClO2 dilutions ranging from 2.5 mM to 25 mM. The cell viability and metabolic activity was determined via MTT, a colorimetric assay. Human HEK293 cells …

The Impact Of Urbanization On Mosquito-Borne Viruses, Nikhita Puthuveetil
Undergraduate Research Posters
Mosquito-borne diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, and West Nile are rapidly emerging across the globe. Their emergence is often aided by the growth of their vector population, or the organisms that transmit the virus to the host. Urbanization and land use often destroys the habitat of the virus and its vector. However, the virus and its vector often survive despite the changes to its environment. The goal of this paper is to find out exactly how urbanization and changes in land use affect mosquito-borne viruses and how these viruses survive despite the destruction of their habitats. To understand how …
