Exploring The Lived Experiences Of Persons Living With Hiv Who Are Homebound Due To One Or More Comorbidities Within A Southern State Using Photovoice, Anthony Alyn "Deek" Cunningham Jan 2025

Exploring The Lived Experiences Of Persons Living With Hiv Who Are Homebound Due To One Or More Comorbidities Within A Southern State Using Photovoice, Anthony Alyn "Deek" Cunningham

All ETDs from UAB

At the end of 2022, there were 1,109,418 adults and adolescents with HIV in the United States and the six dependent areas of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Palau, and the US Virgin Islands (CDC, 2024). Due to ongoing advances in medications and treatments, people who have been diagnosed with HIV are living longer and healthier lives, making this a chronic health condition. Yet, there are gaps in the literature that focuses on this population growing older and aging in place. This dissertation investigated the lived experiences of individuals fifty years and older …


Exploring The Role Of Brain Angiogenesis Inhibitor 3 (Bai3) In Regulating Body Weight, Haifa Alsahrif Jan 2025

Exploring The Role Of Brain Angiogenesis Inhibitor 3 (Bai3) In Regulating Body Weight, Haifa Alsahrif

All ETDs from UAB

Obesity is a significant public health issue, strongly associated with various metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to obesity is essential for developing effective interventions. One critical area of interest involves G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are important in regulating metabolic health. These receptors are known to be involved in critical metabolic functions such as insulin secretion, lipid metabolism, and glucose uptake. The role of the GPCR, brain angiogenesis inhibitor-3 (BAI3), in metabolic regulation has not been fully explored. This dissertation focuses on the known functions of the BAI isoforms (BAI1-3) and presents …

Insights Into Rett Syndrome: Social Behavior, Bdnf-Trkb Signaling, And Dendritic Spines, Destynie Medeiros Jan 2025

Insights Into Rett Syndrome: Social Behavior, Bdnf-Trkb Signaling, And Dendritic Spines, Destynie Medeiros

All ETDs from UAB

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily affecting females, caused by pathogenic variants in the X-linked MECP2 gene, which encodes the transcriptional modulator Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2). RTT is characterized by motor deficits, loss of speech, autistic features, and intellectual disability. A key gene regulated by MeCP2 is BDNF, encoding the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF levels are lower in multiple brain regions of Mecp2-deficient mice, and experimentally increasing BDNF levels improves several RTT phenotypes in mouse models. Due to BDNF's low blood-brain barrier permeability, we tested LM22A-4, a brain-penetrant small molecule ligand of TrkB receptors, on …


Impacts Of Climate Change On Members Of Shallow Water Antarctic Communities, Hannah Elise Oswalt Jan 2025

Impacts Of Climate Change On Members Of Shallow Water Antarctic Communities, Hannah Elise Oswalt

All ETDs from UAB

Human-derived CO2 emissions have lowered the ocean’s pH and increased global temperatures. Low seawater pH can decrease the calcification, growth, and survival of calcifying invertebrates. Furthermore, low pH changes macroalgal growth and stress, possibly altering palatability to consumers. Global warming has decreased sea ice coverage, profoundly influencing photosynthetic organisms by altering subsurface irradiance. Shallow, hard-bottom communities along the Western Antarctic Peninsula are characterized by large macroalgal forests that shelter large numbers of mesograzers. Amphipods and macroalgae have a community-wide mutualistic relationship where macroalgae provide refuge from predatory fish while amphipods remove competing epiphytes. To understand how climate change could impact …


Hale Woodruff’S Herndon Home’S Murals: Path To Economic Independence For The Marginalized, Audra Lanora Gray Jan 2025

Hale Woodruff’S Herndon Home’S Murals: Path To Economic Independence For The Marginalized, Audra Lanora Gray

All ETDs from UAB

This paper explores how Hale A. Woodruff used his Herndon Homes murals to engage in discussions about the housing crisis affecting African Americans in Atlanta during the Great Depression and the era of Jim Crow laws. These laws segregated White and Black people in public places. Moreover, Jim Crow laws restricted the rights of African Americans, and made them targets of violence, intimidation, and disenfranchisement. Woodruff's Herndon Homes murals sparked conversations about the action needed for improving the unsanitary and substandard housing prevalent in the heart of the city, thereby contributing to the broader dialogue surrounding social justice and equality. …


The Evolution Of Aids Service Organizations: The Impact Of The 340b Drug Pricing Program, Cory Alexander Howard Jan 2025

The Evolution Of Aids Service Organizations: The Impact Of The 340b Drug Pricing Program, Cory Alexander Howard

All ETDs from UAB

This study examines the evolution of AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) and the impact of their participation in the 340B Drug Pricing Program. The research, grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, explores how the 340B program as a unique organizational resource may lead to mission expansion and an increase in service offerings among ASOs. By comparing ASOs engaged in the 340B program with those not participating, the study hypothesizes that 340B-participating ASOs are more likely to extend services beyond HIV/AIDS, including mission expansion, PrEP services, STD services, LGBTQ services, gender-affirming care, and community health services. Statistical analysis supports the hypothesis, …


Ceo Characteristics And Performance In U.S. Community Hospitals, Michael Pilcher Jan 2025

Ceo Characteristics And Performance In U.S. Community Hospitals, Michael Pilcher

All ETDs from UAB

ABSTRACT Community hospitals (CHs) in the United States are facing significant financial and operational pressures, including narrow margins, declining reimbursements, and prolonged periods of unprofitable care (CDC, 2023; CHQPR, 2023; Morris, 2023). Given their critical role in providing healthcare access and supporting local economies, CHs require effective leadership to sustain performance and avoid closures that would have adverse community impacts (Langabeer et al., 2018). Although research connects CEO attributes with organizational performance across various sectors, there is limited focus on how these attributes impact CHs specifically, where CEOs often play dual strategic and operational roles due to typically lean leadership …


Sialylation Of Tnfr1 By St6gal1 Modulates Receptor Dynamics And Determines Cell Fate, Jihye Hwang Jan 2025

Sialylation Of Tnfr1 By St6gal1 Modulates Receptor Dynamics And Determines Cell Fate, Jihye Hwang

All ETDs from UAB

Abnormal glycosylation has long been identified as a key feature of cancer. Aberrant glycan structures on tumor cells arise from the dysregulation of select glycosyltransferases. For example, sialyltransferase ST6GAL1 is notable for its high expression in various cancers, including breast, colon, ovarian, and pancreatic. ST6GAL1 introduces α2-6-linkage sialylation to N-glycans on proteins, endowing cancer cells with stem cell-like properties. This modification contributes to resistance to apoptosis mediated by death receptors like TNFR1. Despite its significance in cancer, the regulatory mechanisms controlling ST6GAL1 expression remain largely unexplored. Additionally, it is unclear whether the apoptosis-resistant effect of sialylation is caused by an …
