Sdrnas Participate In The Maintenance And Onset Of Prostate Cancer, Neil Chaudhary May 2024

Sdrnas Participate In The Maintenance And Onset Of Prostate Cancer, Neil Chaudhary

Poster Presentations

What is an sdRNA? Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is a class of RNA that includes microRNA (miRNA) and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA). Fragments excised from ncRNAs are known as noncodingderived RNA (ndRNA). A certain class of ndRNAs that are derived from snoRNAs have been denoted as Small Nucleolar Derived RNAs (sdRNAs). Our lab has previously hypothesized and demonstrated that sdRNAs display regulatory functions on target genes, similar to the functions of miRNAs. sdRNAs are almost identical to microRNAs and differ mainly in their source of origin.

Our lab has shown that sdRNA-93 is frequently misexpressed in breast cancer cell lines and …

Research Methods Poster Session 2024

Objective:

To evaluate cervical cancer screening modalities and assess the reasoning that has led to primary HPV being the preferred target for screening.

Background:

History of HPV infection has been found to be correlated with cervical cancer precursor cells. Early detection of the infection is advantageous in decreasing the risk for women of reproductive age acquiring cervical cancer. The general consensus places an emphasis on implementing HPV testing in accordance with cervical cancer protocol.

Methods:

Six methodical reviews of cervical cancer screenings were done through PubMed and the M.D. Anderson Research library. Each article was evaluated to include recently published …


Congenital Heart Defects And Autism: Understanding The Breakdown Of Associated Risk Factors In A Clinically Referred Sample, Elizabeth Raines, Amanda Strasser, Amanda Manderfeld, Paul Glasier, Elizabeth J. Willen Apr 2024

Congenital Heart Defects And Autism: Understanding The Breakdown Of Associated Risk Factors In A Clinically Referred Sample, Elizabeth Raines, Amanda Strasser, Amanda Manderfeld, Paul Glasier, Elizabeth J. Willen

Posters

Background: Children with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) have higher odds of developing social difficulties and/or an Autism Spectrum Disorder (AuSD) than the general population (i.e., ~10% vs. ~1%). However, there is a paucity of nuanced understanding of specific drivers of the increased rates of AuSD in extant literature. The purpose of this study is to identify the rates of co-occurring cardiac, neurological, and genetic conditions to better understand associated risk factors in a patient sample from a medium-size children’s hospital. Methods: Our population includes a clinically referred sample of children (i.e., medical history of CHD and neurodevelopmental risk) under 18 …


Primary Resection Of Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor With Suspected Lymph Node Metastasis: A Case Report, Raleigh Payton, David Bassa, Furrukh Jabbar, Hassan Ahmed Jan 2024

Primary Resection Of Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor With Suspected Lymph Node Metastasis: A Case Report, Raleigh Payton, David Bassa, Furrukh Jabbar, Hassan Ahmed

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Duodenal neuroendocrine carcinomas are an uncommon variant of Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) that are typically non-functional with locoregional spread at the time of diagnosis. Management of these tumors is dependent on size, grade, stage, functional status and location. Summary: A 66-year-old male presented with an incidental finding of low grade 3 centimeter duodenal NET on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) located in the second segment of the duodenum with evidence of lymphadenopathy on staging scans. In patients with suspected lymph node metastases, the first choice for curative intent is a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), also known as Whipple Procedure. We achieved surgical resection with free …


Rare Rectal Lipoma Case Report, Victoria Nguyen, Sean Sojdie, Kunal Elete, Justin Richardson, Long Hoang Jan 2024

Rare Rectal Lipoma Case Report, Victoria Nguyen, Sean Sojdie, Kunal Elete, Justin Richardson, Long Hoang

North Texas Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: Colonic lipomas are rare, benign non-epithelial lesions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that predominantly affect elderly females and often found in the ascending colon. They are least common in the rectum, with a prevalence of 3.4%. Lipomas can grow to cause abdominal pain, bleeding, or obstruction. We report an incidental finding of a rectal lipoma in a patient presented with rectal bleeding. CASE: A 70 year-old male with a history of migraines presented to the hospital for two weeks of rectal bleeding and syncopal episode prior to arrival. Patient had visited the emergency department two weeks prior, but hemoglobin …


Exploring The Impact Of Swimming On Asthma Management In Asian Americans, Trishtine Tran Jan 2024

Exploring The Impact Of Swimming On Asthma Management In Asian Americans, Trishtine Tran

Nursing | Student Research Posters

Asthma is a respiratory disease that leads to narrowing of the airways in the lungs due to inflammation and mucus. Common symptoms include cough, wheezing, asthma attacks, excess mucus production, and decreased exercise tolerance. Pharmacological treatment methods for asthma include bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and allergy medications. Nonpharmaceutical treatments include monitoring of exposure to allergens and breathing exercises, however swimming is not as commonly suggested. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether implementation of a swimming education class will influence the effectiveness of swimming on asthma management in Asian Americans. This study aims to examine quality of life, changes in …

Type Ii Diabetes And Keto Diet In Family Medicine Clinic: A Case Report, Dante Paredes, Karos Torres, Joshua Moton

North Texas Research Forum 2024

The management of patients with high cardiac risk profiles who require insulin therapy for diabetes can be challenging due to the potential adverse effects of insulin on cardiovascular health. In order to achieve remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and discontinue the need for insulin, weight loss has long been recognized as a valuable approach. The goal for this case was to implement dietary and lifestyle changes in a safe and efficient manner to induce remission of T2DM, without increasing the sympathetic load often associated with fully dosed ketogenic and other fasting strategies. This case report highlights the successful …
