Transcriptional Regulation Of N-Acetylglutamate Synthase, Sandra Kirsch Heibel, Giselle Yvette Lopez, Maria Panglao, Sonal Sodha, Leonardo Marino-Ramirez, Mendel Tuchman, Ljubica Caldovic

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

The urea cycle converts toxic ammonia to urea within the liver of mammals. At least 6 enzymes are required for ureagenesis, which correlates with dietary protein intake. The transcription of urea cycle genes is, at least in part, regulated by glucocorticoid and glucagon hormone signaling pathways. N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) produces a unique cofactor, N-acetylglutamate (NAG), that is essential for the catalytic function of the first and rate-limiting enzyme of ureagenesis, carbamyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1). However, despite the important role of NAGS in ammonia removal, little is known about the mechanisms of its regulation. We identified two regions of high …

Patterns And Perceptions Of Climate Change In A Biodiversity Conservation Hotspot, Joel N. Hartter, Mary D. Stampone, Sadie J. Ryan, Karen Kirner, Colin A. Chapman, Abraham Goldman

Geography

Quantifying local people's perceptions to climate change, and their assessments of which changes matter, is fundamental to addressing the dual challenge of land conservation and poverty alleviation in densely populated tropical regions To develop appropriate policies and responses, it will be important not only to anticipate the nature of expected changes, but also how they are perceived, interpreted and adapted to by local residents. The Albertine Rift region in East Africa is one of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots due to dense smallholder agriculture, high levels of land and resource pressures, and habitat loss and conversion. Results of three …

A Microfiber Coupler Tip Thermometer, Ming Ding, Pengfei Wang, Gilberto Bramilla

Articles

A compact thermometer based on a broadband microfiber coupler tip is demonstrated. This sensor can measure a broad temperature interval ranging from room temperature to 1283 degrees C with sub-200 mu m spatial resolution. An average sensitivity of 11.96 pm/degrees C was achieved for a coupler tip with similar to 2.5 mu m diameter. This is the highest temperature measured with a silica optical fiber device.

Elevating Endogenous Cannabinoids Reduces Opioid Withdrawal In Mice, Divya Ramesh

Theses and Dissertations

Delta9-tetrahydrocannbinol (THC), the primary active constituent of Cannabis sativa, has long been known to reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms. Although THC produces most of its pharmacological actions through the activation of CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, the role these receptors play in reducing opioid withdrawal symptoms remains unknown. The endogenous cannabinoids, N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide; AEA) and 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG), activate both cannabinoid receptors, but are rapidly metabolized by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), respectively. The objective of this dissertation was to test whether increasing AEA or 2-AG, via inhibition of their respective hydrolytic enzymes, reduces morphine withdrawal symptoms in …

Blood Glucose Monitoring And Metabolic Control In Youth With Type 1 Diabetes: Relation To Disease Care, Adrienne Borschuk

Theses and Dissertations

Better disease care behaviors in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are strongly related to better metabolic control (HbA1c). However, HbA1c results are only available, on average, every three months, and may not accurately capture intricacies of blood glucose fluctuations. Youth then must rely on blood glucose levels obtained throughout the day to determine which disease care behaviors to perform to maintain optimal metabolic control. Youth may have difficulty performing these disease care behaviors properly or consistently, which makes parental monitoring a crucial aspect of the diabetes regimen. Additionally, youth who experience frequent or severe hypoglycemia may develop a fear …

Heat Transfer Performance Investigation Of A Water Cooled Chiller Operated With Nanofluid / Letchumanan Lakshmanan, Lakshmanan Letchumanan

Student Works (2010-2019)

Nanofluid is the suspension of nanoparticles in a base fluid. Nanofluids are promising fluids for heat transfer enhancement due to their anomalously high thermal conductivity. At present, there is a significant discrepancy in nanofluid thermal conductivity data obtained from various experimental models & researches conducted. In the first part of this research report, a detailed study on nanofluid had been discussed and found that three properties of nanofluid are being a promising coolant which are increased thermal conductivity, increased single phase heat transfer and its stability. Types of nanofluid that possibly be used as coolant for water chillers, properties of …

Molecular Diagnostics: The Changing Culture Of Medical Microbiology, Susan Bullman, Brigid Lucey, Roy D. Sleator

Department of Biological Sciences Publications

Diagnostic molecular biology is arguably the fastest growing area in current laboratory-based medicine. Growth of the so called ‘omics’ technologies has, over the last decade, led to a gradual migration away from the ‘one test, one pathogen’ paradigm, toward multiplex approaches to infectious disease diagnosis, which have led to significant improvements in clinical diagnostics and ultimately improved patient care.

Commentary On "Household Hardships, Public Programs, And Their Associations With The Health And Development Of Very Young Children: Insights From Children's Healthwatch", Michael Weitzman, Sherry Zhou

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

This commentary, written in response to the article "Household Hardships, Public Programs, and Their Associations with the Health and Development of Very Young Children: Insights from Children's HealthWatch", highlights the importance of the research done by Children's HealthWatch in relation to childhood food insecurity. Childhood food insecurity has been linked with various adverse health effects, including undernutrition, poor or delayed child development, and social and psychological consequences. Children's HealthWatch provides important data that can be used to monitor threats to our children's well-being and address problems with effective interventions.

Applying An Ecobiodevelopmental Framework To Food Insecurity: More Than Simply Food For Thought, Andrew S. Garner

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Dramatic advances in developmental sciences are beginning to reveal the biological mechanisms underlying well-established associations between early childhood adversity and lifelong measures of limited productivity and poor health. The case studies by Chilton and Rabinowich provide poignant and compelling qualitative data that support an ecobiodevelopmental approach towards understanding and addressing both the complex causes and intergenerational consequences of food insecurity.

Food Insecurity And The Behavioral And Intellectual Development Of Children: A Review Of The Evidence, Rafael Perez-Escamilla, Rodrigo Pinheiro De Toledo Vianna

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Background: Given that an alarming 1 in 5 children in the USA are at risk of hunger (1 in 3 among black and Latino children), and that 3.9 million households with children are food insecure, it is crucial to understand how household food insecurity (HFI) affects the present and future well-being of our children.

Purpose: The objectives of this review article are to: (i) examine the association between HFI and child intellectual, behavioral and psycho-emotional development, controlling for socio-economic indicators; (ii) review the hypothesis that HFI is indeed a mediator of the relationship between poverty and poor child development outcomes; …

Toxic Stress And Child Hunger Over The Life Course: Three Case Studies, Mariana Chilton, Jenny Rabinowich

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

The causes and contexts of food insecurity among children in the U.S. are poorly understood because the prevalence of food insecurity at the child level is low compared to the prevalence of household food insecurity. In addition, caregivers may be reluctant to admit their children may not be getting enough food due to shame or fear they might lose custody of their children.

Based on our ongoing qualitative research with mothers of young children, we suggest that food security among children is related to adverse childhood experiences of caregivers. This translates into poor mental and physical health in adolescence and …
