Interview With Albert Fong (2012), Albert Fong, California State University, Monterey Bay

Chinatown Renewal Project

The primary focus of this interview centered around Chinatown with an emphasis on the Republic Cafe. Mr. Fong's attention to detail leads the interview through many different time periods and subjects as his recollection takes him to different places. Mr. Fong begins the interview with discussing the Republic Cafe, and moves into recollection about what Chinatown was like as a young man. Throughout his interview, we are given anecdotes about his family, the history of Chinatown or stories from the Republic Cafe. We find that much of his father's history is unknown, but what is known Mr. Fong gives us …

Mortality Rates Across 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25[Oh]D) Levels Among Adults With And Without Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate <60 Ml/Min/1.73 M2: The Third National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey, Holly Kramer, Chris Sempos, Guichan Cao, Amy Luke, David Shoham, Richard Cooper, Ramon Durazo-Arvizu

Faculty Publications

Background: Previous studies exploring the association between 25[OH]D levels and mortality in adults with and without kidney disease utilized 25[OH]D thresholds that have recently been scrutinized by the Institute of Medicine Committee to Review Dietary References Intakes for Vitamin D and Calcium. Objective: We explored all-cause mortality rates across the spectrum of 25[OH]D levels over an eighteen-year follow-up among adults with and without an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) /min/1.73 m2. Design: The study included 1,097 U.S. adults with eGFR /min/1.73 m2 and 14, 002 adults with eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Mortality rates and rate ratios (RR) across 25[OH]D groups …

Predictors Of Business Return In New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina, Nina S.N. Lam, Helbert Arenas, Kelley Pace, James Lesage, Richard Campanella

Faculty Publications

We analyzed the business reopening process in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, which hit the region on August 29, 2005, to better understand what the major predictors were and how their impacts changed through time. A telephone survey of businesses in New Orleans was conducted in October 2007, 26 months after Hurricane Katrina. The data were analyzed using a modified spatial probit regression model to evaluate the importance of each predictor variable through time. The results suggest that the two most important reopening predictors throughout all time periods were the flood depth at the business location and business size as …

Double-Stranded Rna-Dependent Protein Kinase Regulates The Motility Of Breast Cancer Cells, Mei Xu, Gang Chen, Siying Wang, Mingjun Liao, Jacqueline A. Frank, Kimberly A. Bower, Zhuo Zhang, Xianglin Shi, Jia Luo

Internal Medicine Faculty Publications

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is an interferon-induced protein kinase that plays a central role in the anti-viral process. Due to its pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative action, there is an increased interest in PKR modulation as an anti-tumor strategy. PKR is overexpressed in breast cancer cells; however, the role of PKR in breast cancer cells is unclear. The expression/activity of PKR appears inversely related to the aggressiveness of breast cancer cells. The current study investigated the role of PKR in the motility/migration of breast cancer cells. The activation of PKR by a synthesized dsRNA (PIC) significantly decreased the motility of …

Comparative Effects Of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids) On Blood Pressure In Patients With Hypertension, Hisham Aljadhey, Wanzhu Tu, Richard A. Hansen, Susan J. Blalock, D Craig Brater, Michael D. Murray

Department of Pharmacy Practice Faculty Publications

Background

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may disrupt control of blood pressure in hypertensive patients and increase their risk of morbidity, mortality, and the costs of care. The objective of this study was to examine the association between incident use of NSAIDs and blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult hypertensive patients to determine the effects of their first prescription for NSAID on systolic blood pressure and antihypertensive drug intensification. Data were collected from an electronic medical record serving an academic general medicine practice in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Using propensity scores to minimize …

Spectral Cross Correlation As A Supervised Approach For The Analysis Of Complex Raman Datasets: The Case Of Nanoparticles In Biological Cells, Mark Keating, Franck Bonnier, Hugh Byrne

Articles

Spectral Cross-correlation is introduced as a methodology to identify the presence and subcellular distribution of nanoparticles in cells. Raman microscopy is employed to spectroscopically image biological cells previously exposed to polystyrene nanoparticles, as a model for the study of nano-bio interactions. The limitations of previously deployed strategies of K-means clustering analysis and principal component analysis are discussed and a novel methodology of Spectral Cross Correlation Analysis is introduced and compared with the performance of Classical Least Squares Analysis, in both unsupervised and supervised modes. The previous study demonstrated the feasibility of using Raman spectroscopy to map cells and identify polystyrene …

Reducing Unlawful Prescription Drug Promotion: Is The Public Health Being Served By An Enforcement Approach That Focuses On Punishment?, Vicki W. Girard

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Despite the imposition of increasingly substantial fines and recently successful efforts to impose individual liability on corporate executives under the Park doctrine, punishing pharmaceutical companies and their executives for unlawful promotional activities has not been as successful in achieving compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) as the protection of the public health demands. Over the past decade, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have shifted their focus from correction and compliance to a more punitive model when it comes to allegedly unlawful promotion of pharmaceuticals. The shift initially focused …

Mapping A Complete Neural Population In The Retina, Olivier Marre, Dario Amodei, Nikhil Deshmukh, Kolia Sadeghi, Frederick Soo, Timothy E. Holy, Michael J. Berry

Open Access Publications

Recording simultaneously from essentially all of the relevant neurons in a local circuit is crucial to understand how they collectively represent information. Here we show that the combination of a large, dense multielectrode array and a novel, mostly automated spike-sorting algorithm allowed us to record simultaneously from a highly overlapping population of >200 ganglion cells in the salamander retina. By combining these methods with labeling and imaging, we showed that up to 95% of the ganglion cells over the area of the array were recorded. By measuring the coverage of visual space by the receptive fields of the recorded cells, …

Histology Slide, John Farber

The Medicine Forum

A 45 year old Black female without significant past medical history was admitted with insidious cough, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, and progressive weight loss. She suddenly went into respiratory distress and succumbed to death. Autopsy subsequently showed widespread granulomatous disease. This slide of one of the lung lesions shows a noncaseating granulocyte with a fibrotic center surrounded by palisading histiocytes, consistent with a diagnosis of nodular sarcoma.
