Breast Cancer Incidence In Black And White Women Stratified By Estrogen And Progesterone Receptor Statuses., Michael X. Gleason, Tengiz Mdzinarishvili, Simon Sherman

Journal Articles: Eppley Institute

BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence that breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease presented by different phenotypes and that white women have a higher breast cancer incidence rate, whereas black women have a higher mortality rate. It is also well known that white women have lower incidence rates than black women until approximately age 40, when rate curves cross over and white women have higher rates. The goal of this study was to validate the risk of white and black women to breast cancer phenotypes, stratified by statuses of the estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors.

Perceptual, Acoustic, And Kinematic Effects Of Sentence-Initial, Single-Phoneme Prolongation In People Who Do And Do Not Stutter, Darrell Sharp Matthews

Theses and Dissertations

This study examined a sentence-initial one-second sound prolongation as a possible fluency-inducing condition in people who stutter. The effects of this prolongation technique on the single sentence utterances of five people who stutter (PWS) and five age- and gender-matched controls were investigated. Variables tested included stuttering percentages, speaking rate, duration of phonated intervals, and correlation between upper lip and lower lip/jaw. Results showed a non-significant trend for less stuttering to occur when participants used the prolongation technique. Significant findings included longer durations of phonated intervals and more negatively correlated upper- and lower-lip movements during the prolongation condition. Rate of speech …

Objective: We conducted a mixed-methods study to examine serodiscordant and seroconcordant (HIV-positive/HIVpositive) male couples’ PrEP awareness, concerns regarding health care providers offering PrEP to the community, and correlates of PrEP uptake by the HIV-negative member of the couple.

Design: Qualitative sub-study included one-on-one interviews to gain a deeper understanding of participants’ awareness of and experiences with PrEP and concerns regarding health care providers offering PrEP to men who have sex with men (MSM). Quantitative analyses consisted of a cross-sectional study in which participants were asked about the likelihood of PrEP uptake by the HIV-negative member of the couple and level …

The Effect Of Women’S Intrahousehold Bargaining Power On Child Health Outcomes In Bangladesh, Eleanor M. Schmidt

Undergraduate Economic Review

Trends in developing economies suggest that as relative female intrahousehold bargaining power improves, consumption preferences favor basic needs which promote child welfare. This study seeks to examine whether greater household bargaining power by Bangladeshi women is related to an improvement the health of their children. Results suggest that certain aspects of bargaining power, including female participation in decision-making about child health care, large household purchases and daily needs, are associated with larger child height-for-age z-scores. There exists a positive correlation between children in families where their mothers have decision-making authority and child health outcomes.

Irritating Intimates: The Archaeoentomology Of Lice, Fleas, And Bedbugs, Allison Bain

Northeast Historical Archaeology

Ectoparasites, in the form of lice, fleas, and bedbugs, are often found in archaeological samples as indicated by archaeoentomological investigations in Europe, the Near East, Greenland, Iceland, and more recently in North America. Many historical texts, some dating as far back as the Classical Period, discuss ectoparasites, providing a lively repository of folk remedies. While archaeoentomological finds of ectoparasites are relatively new to the Northeast, these irritating intimates are found when care is taken to look for them.

Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (Ecmo) For Support During Whole Lung Lavage For Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis., Hitoshi Hirose, Julie Monteagudo, Nicholas C. Cavarocchi, Boyd Hehn, Naveed Hasan

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION ECMO as support during whole lung lavage (WLL) for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is reserved for severe cases where oxygenation is inadequate to support the patient using the ventilator alone. While most publications describe a venovenous cannulation with variable results we present a successful case using venoarterial cannulation and discuss the potential benefits of this mode of ECMO support. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 44 year old female with a past medical history of Behcets disease and a BMI of 37 who was diagnosed with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) on a lung biopsy after presenting with dyspnea. …

Novel Approach To Monitoring Renal Perfusion With The Use Of Continuous Renal Oximetery In The Setting Of Aortic Dissection, Hitoshi Hirose, Philip Batista, Nicholas C. Cavarocchi

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION: Aortic dissections commonly extend beyond the renal arteries with varying effects ranging from asymptomatic to renal failure. We report a case of aortic dissection with initial renal compromise, which was continuously monitored utilizing direct renal oximetry for evaluation of real-time renal perfusion and function. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65 year-old female with a long history of uncontrolled hypertension presented with acute retrosternal chest pain radiating to the back for 12 hours. She was in stable condition except for a serum creatinine of 1.6mg/dl. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) demonstrated a type A dissection extending from the aortic root to the left …

Sternal Pain After Rigid Fixation: A Pilot Study Of Randomization Rigid Vs Conventional Wire Closure., Hitoshi Hirose, Hong Mun Kong, Shigeki Tabata, Kentaro Yamane, Margaret Lusardi, Linda J. Bogar, James Diehl

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

Objective: Rigid sternal fixation may provide better sternal closure than conventional sternal wire closure. We performed a prospective randomized study to investigate if rigid closure reduces postoperative sternal pain. Methods: Patients undergoing CABG ± valve surgery between July 2011 and January 2012 were prospectively randomized into conventional wire closure (group C) or rigid fixation using sternal plates (group R). Pain scores were determined at 6 AM using a numeric rating scale (0 no pain, 5 moderate pain, 10 worst possible pain). Narcotic pain medication requirement from day 1 to 5 was collected and converted into intravenous morphine equivalent. Results: Among …

Fate Of The Lower Extremity In Patients With Va-Ecmo Via Femoral Cannulation, Hitoshi Hirose, Kathleen Lamb, Neil Moudgill, Paul Dimuzio, Megan Mccullough, Pawel Karbowski, Atul Rao, Nicholas Cavarocchi, Joshua Eisenberg

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a salvage therapy in patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure. Femoral cannulation is associated with limb complications including ischemia, limb loss, arterial infections and wound infections. This study aims to evaluate these complications and management related to successful outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted in 17 patients requiring VA- ECMO support via femoral cannulation from 1/ 2010 till 4/2012. After cannulation, all patients had near infared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring after cannula placement and most had placement of distal arterial perfusion catheters (DPC). At decannulation, all patients had femoral cutdown with closure of arteriotomies …
