Mutant Tdp-43 In Motor Neurons Promotes The Onset And Progression Of Als In Rats, Cao Huang, Jianbin Tong, Fangfang Bi, Hongxia Zhou, Xu-Gang Xia
Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive motor neuron degeneration, which ultimately leads to paralysis and death. Mutation of TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) has been linked to the development of an inherited form of ALS. Existing TDP-43 transgenic animals develop a limited loss of motor neurons and therefore do not faithfully reproduce the core phenotype of ALS. Here, we report the creation of multiple lines of transgenic rats in which expression of ALS-associated mutant human TDP-43 is restricted to either motor neurons or other types of neurons and skeletal muscle and can be switched on and off. …

The Bovie electrocautery has become a fundamental tool of modern-day surgery, particularly for its integral role in hemostasis, yet despite this landmark invention and its widespread use, there is very little said about the man behind the machine: William T. Bovie. It would be thousands of years from the inception of cautery in medicine until the birth of Dr. Bovie and his device. However, his work in biophysics and collaboration with Dr. Harvey Cushing would revolutionize surgical practice in the early 20th century and forever ingrain his name into the field of surgery.

Buffered Memory: A Hypothesis For The Maintenance Of Functional, Virus-Specific Cd8(+) T Cells During Cytomegalovirus Infection., Christopher M Snyder
Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers
Chronic infections have been a major topic of investigation in recent years, but the mechanisms that dictate whether or not a pathogen is successfully controlled are incompletely understood. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpesvirus that establishes a persistent infection in the majority of people in the world. Like other herpesviruses, CMV is well controlled by an effective immune response and induces little, if any, pathology in healthy individuals. However, controlling CMV requires continuous immune surveillance, and thus, CMV is a significant cause of morbidity and death in immune-compromised individuals. T cells in particular play an important role in controlling CMV and …

Molecular Diagnostics In Periprosthetic Joint Infection., Javad Parvizi, Lesley Walinchus, Bahar Adeli
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant and costly challenge to the orthopedic community. The lack of a gold standard for diagnosis remains the biggest obstacle in the detection and subsequent treatment of PJI. Molecular markers in the serum and joint fluid aspirate hold immense promise to enhance the development of a firm diagnostic criterion. The primary goal is one marker with high sensitivity and specificity. Here, we review our current research efforts in the field of molecular markers: C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cells, and leukocyte esterase. Each marker has been studied to determine its sensitivity, specificity, …

Given the ample evidence delirium in hospitalized older adults is under diagnosed and not recognized by nurses up to 85% of the time, interventions are needed at the point of care to assist nurses in recognizing delirium. In this qualitative study, factors that might influence the implementation of a point-of-care screening tool for delirium were examined.

There is a growing evidence in the nursing literature about the effectiveness of clinical simulation as a powerful teaching/learning strategy. This wealth of research attributes simulation's effectiveness to its design that creates an environment where "students become active learners, abandoning memorization for accessing knowledge, and thinking and applying learning in context rather than providing answers to fact-based test" (Jeffries, 2007). A simulation suite provides a "safe, supportive environment that allows students to learn a variety of complex skills in a stress-free environment" (Ghiglieri, Ruiz, & Vasudevan, 2007). Creating this environment requires meticulous planning to details. The learner must have a …

Department of Surgery Gibbon Society Historical Profiles
From Humble roots, Dr. Robert Milton Zollinger worked his way to a position in history among the giants of American surgery. He was born on September 4, 1903, in the central Ohio town of Millersport, the son of Elmira and William Zollinger. Neither of his parents had a high school education, but they supported education and always expressed a confidence that young Robert would be successful at anything he attempted.1 He had aspirations of attending West Point, a dream that was never fulfilled when he decided to be a surgeon. On being informed of his son’s intentions, Zollinger’s father bestowed …

Characterization Of The Drosophila Slowpoke Binding Protein (Slob) Promoter, Amanda L. Sheldon, Lauren Manderfield, Irwin B. Levitan
Characterization Of The Drosophila Slowpoke Binding Protein (Slob) Promoter, Amanda L. Sheldon, Lauren Manderfield, Irwin B. Levitan
Farber Institute for Neuroscience Faculty Papers
Drosophila SLOWPOKE (SLO) is a voltage and calcium dependent, large conductance potassium channel important for action potential repolarization, neuronal excitability, neurotransmitter release, and hormone secretion. SLO binding protein (SLOB) binds to and modulates SLO activity. We have shown previously that modulation of SLO by SLOB has profound effects on SLO channel currents, synaptic transmisison, and metabolism. Multiple isoforms of SLOB exist and are encoded by multiple transcripts; the isoforms are named based on their predicted protein molecular weights, in kilodaltons. In the Drosophila brain, SLOB57/51 proteins are expressed especially prominently in insulin producing neurons of the pars intercerebralis, while SLOB71/65 …

Thomas Eakins was an American artist whose unique and prolific style set him apart from other artists of the late 19th century.1 He chose to portray his subjects with intense objectivity, never deviating from reality. Even during his era when art was expected to be always beautiful, demonstrating Victorian morals of decency and decorum, Eakins chose to paint the naked truth.1 Walt Whitman was noted to have said, ‘‘I never knew of but one artist, and that’s Tom Eakins, who would resist the temptation to see what they ought to be rather than what it is.’’2 It was Eakins’ rigid …

Expression Of Cancer Stem Cell Biomarkers In Male Breast Cancer, Ping Gong, Md, Juan P. Palazzo, Md
Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers
Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease, representing <1% of all breast cancer diagnoses. The prognostic factors and expression of molecular markers in male breast carcinomas are similar to female cancer. Cancer stem cell (CSC)s have been associated with tumor aggressiveness and drug resistance. CSCs are characterized by CD44 and/or ALDH1 expression. We investigated their expression in male breast cancer.

The Role Of Mer In Apoptotic Cell Clearance In The Germinal Center, Tahsin N. Khan, Eric B. Wong, Ziaur S.M. Rahman, Phd
Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers
Germinal centers (GCs) are specialized micro-environments that generate high affinity Ab-forming cells (AFCs) and memory B cells. Many B cells undergo apoptosis during clonal selection in GCs. The TAM (Tyro-3, Axl, and Mer) family receptor tyrosine kinases, including Mer, facilitate macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells. We previously showed that tingible body macrophages (TBMφs) in GCs express Mer. We observed that apoptotic cells (ACs) accumulated in GCs of mice deficient in Mer (Mer-/-), after immunization with T-dependent Ag. Accumulation of ACs in GCs of Mer-/- mice resulted in significantly increased AFCs, GCs, and Th1-skewed IgG2c Ab responses. We report here that …

Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers
Rodents are natural reservoirs for a variety of species of Borrelia that cause relapsing fevers in humans. The murine model of this disease recapitulates many of the clinical manifestations of the human disease and has revealed that T cell-independent antibody responses are required to resolve the bacteremic episodes. However, it is not clear whether such protective humoral responses are mounted in humans.

Discussion:
- Although differences in HR and the JT interval were statistically significant in patients who received appropriate shock vs. those who did not, these differences are not clinically meaningful
- We did not identify any clinical predictors of early vs. late ICD shocks
- These data suggest that we may not be able to improve on current guidelines for patient selection for ICD implantation.
