Pediatrics Research and Scholarship
Involvement of the Central Nervous System (CNS) in acute leukemia confers poor prognosis and lower overall survival. Existing CNS-directed therapies are associated with a significant risk of short- or long-term toxicities. Leukemic cells can metabolically adapt and survive in the microenvironment of the CNS. The supporting role of the CNS microenvironment in leukemia progression and dissemination has not received sufficient attention. Understanding the mechanism by which leukemic cells survive in the nutrient-poor and oxygen-deprived CNS microenvironment will lead to the development of more specific and less toxic therapies. Here, we review the current literature regarding the roles of metabolic reprogramming …

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition responsible for excess morbidity, particularly in the geriatric population. Recovery after evacuation is complicated by fluctuating neurological deficits in a high proportion of patients. We previously demonstrated that spreading depolarizations (SD) may be responsible for some of these events. In this study, we aim to determine candidate risk factors for probable SD and assess the influence of probable SD on outcome.
Methods:We used two cohorts who underwent surgery for cSDH. The first cohort (n=40) had electrocorticographic (ECoG) monitoring to detect SD. In the second cohort (n=345), we retrospectively identified …

PURPOSE: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication of heparin administration. Management strategies are complex and include discontinuing heparin products, initiating alternative anticoagulants, interpreting laboratory test results, documenting heparin allergies, and providing patient education. Medication error reports and a retrospective review conducted at an academic medical center revealed an opportunity for a quality improvement initiative and led to the creation of a multidisciplinary workflow for the management of HIT. In a pre-post study, the impact of the multidisciplinary workflow on the safety and management of HIT was evaluated.
METHODS: The preimplementation group consisted of adult patients tested for suspected HIT …

The Role Of Lawyers In Bridging The Gap Between The Robust Federal Rights To Education And Relatively Low Education Outcomes In Guatemala, Maryam Ahranjani
The Role Of Lawyers In Bridging The Gap Between The Robust Federal Rights To Education And Relatively Low Education Outcomes In Guatemala, Maryam Ahranjani
Faculty Scholarship
Relative to other countries in the world and in Central America, the Guatemalan Constitution and the federal education law include a robust and detailed right to education. However, literacy rates and secondary educational attainment, particularly for Indigenous people and young women living in rural communities, remain low. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated disparities. Once children return to schools after the pandemic, the gaps will be even larger. Lawyers can play a critical role in making the strong Constitutional right to education more meaningful.

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) results in chronic central nervous system (CNS) deficits and heightened neuroimmune responses that persist into adulthood. Young adult animals with moderate PAE display pathological sensitivity to light touch, referred to as allodynia, following sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI). Allodynia coincides with activated spinal glia and an increased presence of peripheral immune cells that invade the CNS. Activated glia and immune cells release the potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1 (IL-1β). Previous studies have shown that dexpramipexole, an enantiomer of pramipexole, reduces caspase-3 and cell death, suggesting a possible anti-inflammatory action. The current study explored whether dexpramipexole is …

Purpose:
There is mounting evidence of a link between pathological tau (p-tau) and neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). In previous studies, we found that p-tau can induce neuroinflammation through activating inflammasomes, a multi-protein complex that recognizes danger signals including bacterial toxins lipopolysaccharide (LPS), nigericin and endogenous danger signals including extracellular ATP and p-tau. Activation of inflammasomes leads to maturation of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 (IL)-1b and IL-18, causing neuroinflammation. We aim to obtain quantitative measurements of activated inflammasomes, specifically the levels of assembled ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), a key adaptor protein of inflammasomes, in the …

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day
Introduction
The preoperative risk stratification of patients undergoing spinal tumor resection remains challenging. In recent years, the efforts to look beyond age alone as an outcomes predictor has resulted in the development of measures of physiological reserve (or ‘frailty indices’). The most frequently cited index in spine surgery is the modified frailty index [11-point (mFI-11) or 5-point (mFI-5)]. The present study was performed to evaluate effect of frailty (as measured by mFI-5) versus age on surgical outcomes of spinal tumors in a large national registry.
Methods
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was used to collect data for …

Introduction
Spontaneous, non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) refers to bleeding within the brain parenchyma that occurs in the absence of trauma and carries significant morbidity and mortality. While a close association has been identified between stroke and dementia, available literature primarily focuses on post-stroke dementia in ischemic stroke patients, and there are few clinical studies evaluating cognitive dysfunction post-ICH. The present systematic review and meta- analysis analyzes the available clinical literature on post-ICH cognitive impairment.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. A search of bibliographic databases up to July 31, 2020 yielded a total of 2155 …

Loss Of Neurodevelopmental Transcription Factors In Glioblastoma Leads To Decreased Progression And Proliferation And Increased Survival, Bianca L. Myers, Matthew Keith, Rebekkah Anderson, Tou Yia Vue
Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day
Glioblastoma (GBM) makes up about 50% of primary brain tumors and survival has not increased over the last 30 years, with less than 5% of patients surviving past 5 years of diagnosis. The lethality of GBM is likely due to high degree of inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity and the presence of key neurodevelopmental transcription factors such as ASCL1 and OLIG2, which have been shown to be present in the majority of GBMs. Functionally, these basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors form heterodimers with E-proteins (E47/TCF4) and bind to DNA to regulate gene transcription. Previously, we showed that ASCL1 binds to promoter and …

Objective
Examine whether Parkinson’s disease patients (PD) who experience hallucinations (PD+hall) exhibit a greater decline in striatal dopamine and corresponding posterior cortical decline relative to PD patients without hallucinations (PD-ctrl).
Background
The development of visual hallucinations in PD is a significant predictor of dementia and earlier nursing home placement[1]. A reduction in striatal dopamine transporter has independently been linked to posterior cortical atrophy[2] and psychosis[3], [4].
Methods
This study used data from a cohort of de novo PD patients and healthy controls (HC) enrolled in the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative. We extracted longitudinal cortical thickness values from T1-weighted structural MRI …

The EEG feature known as the Reward Positivity (RewP) is known to reflect a combination of the surprise and affective value of reward feedback. Here we investigated if individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder had an enhanced RewP to alcohol stimuli used as rewarding feedback, suggesting a mechanism for linking biased attention with reward integration for addiction-specific stimuli. Community participants aged 18-55 years are being recruited and demographically matched across the two groups: AUD (AUDIT>5) and Control (AUDIT<3). Participants completed a reinforcement learning task with affective stimuli as feedback while EEG was recorded. A 2*2 ANOVA was conducted to examine how affective image (puppies vs. alcohol) and group (AUD, CTL) influenced RewP amplitude. Preliminary results suggest that a main effect of group (p=.104) although there was no effect of affective imagery (p=.157) nor an interaction (p=.637). Overall, the findings suggest that AUD have larger reward positivity, but it does not appear to be modulated by alcohol conditions.

Monoaminergic signaling in cortical-limbic circuits regulate both normal physiology and responses to stress. Indeed, monoaminergic reuptake transporters, located on the pre-synaptic terminals of distal projections, are common pharmacological targets for mental disorders, like anxiety and depression. Early life adversity (ELA), which has an interaction with monoaminergic systems, increases vulnerability to mental disorders later in life. Despite this, we are yet to understand how ELA alters brain-wide patterns of neural activity. Here, we combine Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) with behavioral tracking and immunohistochemistry to investigate the effects of ELA on the modular neuroarchitecture and behavioral response to acute threat. ELA was administered …

Pathological hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of tau (pTau) and neuroinflammation, driven by interleukin-1β (IL-1β), are the major hallmarks of tauopathies. Here, we show that pTau primes and activates IL-1ß. First, pTau burden co-exist with elevated IL-1β and inflammasome proteins (NLRP3 and ASC) in autopsy brains of human tauopathies. Suppression of human tau blocks both priming and activation of ASC and NLRP3 in the rTg4510 mouse model of tauopathy. Treating microglia with pTau-containing neuronal media, exosomes or purified human tau tangles causes IL-1β activation, which is NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1-dependent.
While the microglia-restricted deletion of a common innate immune adaptor protein, MyD88 …

We previously demonstrated that treatment with nVNS during middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) reduces infarct volume and BBB disruption. Although nVNS was suggested to play its neuroprotective role by initiating a splenic-sympathetic-nerve anti- inflammatory pathway, human study showed that nVNS could directly regulate the activity of brain regions within MCA territories through VN central project. While studying the mechanism of the neuroprotective role of nVNS, we observed that ischemic neurons, rather than active microglia, are the main resource of interleukin-1 (IL-1), pro- inflammatory cytokine, 24-hour after stroke. This study tested the novel hypothesis that nVNS reduced neuron-derived IL-1 and neuroinflammation …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are an emerging class of long non-coding RNAs with complex regulatory potential that can impact gene expression and function. However, the vast majority of circRNAs have not been characterized and little is known about their function in the brain despite their abundance in cortical tissue. Recent work has focused on circRNAs as biomarkers for disease and therapeutics due to their increased stability since their biogenesis through backsplicing renders them resistant to RNA degradation. CircRNAs are developmentally regulated and differentially regulated in brain disorders including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). While plasticity-related protein-coding genes have been associated …

Project ECHO Bibliography
Many published accounts have shown that quality improvement (QI) initiatives within medical practice settings can increase vaccination rates. Project ECHO is a telementoring platform that uses video conferencing technology to educate and support healthcare professionals through case-based learning and brief lectures. This manuscript explores the results of a learning collaborative focused on combining QI and Project ECHO to increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates within pediatric practices.
Methods: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recruited 3 AAP chapters that then recruited individual pediatricians and their practices for participation. Participants responded to surveys regarding chapter and pediatrician experience and satisfaction. Impact …

Based on the Transtheoretical Model, we expect readiness to change (RTC) to be predictive of actual substance-related behavior change, though this relationship is surprisingly modest. We assert that standard assessments of RTC do not require sufficient cognitive effort to obtain an accurate assessment. We expected that RTC scores are inflated (i.e., overestimated) under standard self-report conditions. To test this hypothesis, we compared RTC scores across three conditions: 1) standard low effort condition, 2) medium effort condition (had to select likes/dislikes of substance use, and negative consequences of changing one’s use), and 3) high effort condition (also provided text responses to …

Introduction: Various microbes and viruses have been associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Diseases (AD), with many studies dating back to the 1950s. There are challenges in establishing direct links between the microbes and AD pathology. Since microbes and viruses have been observed to be dormant and reactivate in aging brains, it is not clear if the microbes are a byproduct of AD pathology or a direct cause of it. Recently, various publications considered the link between several herpes simplex viruses and neurodegeneration in AD. For example, Readhead et al. utilized multiomics data from post-mortem brain samples meeting the neuropathological …
