All Dugoni School of Dentistry Faculty Articles

Recent evidence demonstrated that endothelial cells initiate signaling events that enhance tumor cell survival, proliferation, invasion, and tumor recurrence. Under this new paradigm for cellular crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment, the origin of endothelial cells and tumor cells may have a direct impact on the pathobiology of cancer. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of endothelial cell species (i.e. murine or human) on xenograft tumor growth and response to therapy. Tumor xenografts vascularized either with human or with murine microvascular endothelial cells were engineered, side-by-side, subcutaneously in the dorsum of immunodefficient mice. When tumors reached …

Negotiating Development: Valuation Of A Guesthouse Project In Southern Guinea-Bissau1, Brandon D. Lundy Dec 2013

Negotiating Development: Valuation Of A Guesthouse Project In Southern Guinea-Bissau1, Brandon D. Lundy

Faculty Articles

This paper provides a case study illustrating the crossroads between the agendas of international/national economic development with that of the development objectives of local communities. It shows how a community development project connects villagers to the larger world – both practically and imaginatively. This study takes a single case, the process of developing a guesthouse building project among the Nalú of southern Guinea-Bissau, to illustrate how a local attempt to connect to the outside world is intersected by community relations, NGOs, and development discourse. Through a community study using ethnographic methodology including participant observation, interviews, and focus groups, the village …

Evaluation Of Pediatric Subjects With Swallowing Disorder Part I: Physiology And Pathology, Luh Karunia Wahyuni, Chan-Wei Lin, Tyng-Guey Wang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Feeding and swallowing disorders are important issues in a pediatric population, which may lead to malnutrition, dehydration, or increased risk of pulmonary complications. Pediatric dysphagia is more complex than adult dysphagia in some aspects because it includes developmental progress in anatomical structures and physiological functions. To manage pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders, comprehensive knowledge regarding the development of normal swallowing and of the pathologies of common diseases related to pediatric dysphagia are necessary. In this article, we will reviewarticle the pediatric swallowing structures and physiology, and address the feeding and swallowing problems in common pediatric diseases, including cerebral palsy, cleft …

Incidental Finding Of A Simple Dysraphic State Of A Closed Spinal Dysraphism And Tethered Cord In An Adult Patient With Low Back Pain: A Casereport, Lin-Chien Lee, Hung-Fu Lee, Fu-Kong Lieu Dec 2013

Incidental Finding Of A Simple Dysraphic State Of A Closed Spinal Dysraphism And Tethered Cord In An Adult Patient With Low Back Pain: A Casereport, Lin-Chien Lee, Hung-Fu Lee, Fu-Kong Lieu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The recognition of a closed spinal dysraphism without a subcutaneous mass and cutaneous stigmata depends on the development of relevant neurological and urological symptoms and signs. It can also be an incidental finding when symptoms that do not originate from it are investigated. We describe a 39-year-old man who presented with spondylolysis-related low back pain. Plain film showed posterior spina bifida of S1 and magnetic resonance imaging of the L-spine revealed one intradural lipoma at the L5 level and cord tethering. Conservative treatment was suggested because no relevant symptoms or signs of a mass effect of the lipoma or tethered …

Exploring The Possible Effects Of Mountaineering Activities On Sports Injuries, Body Composition And Thigh Muscle Function, Yi-Ting Fang, Chen-Liang Chou, Yi-Cheng Chen, Hong-Jen Chiou, Jin-Jong Chen, Hsuci-Chen Lee, Yi-Fen Shih Dec 2013

Exploring The Possible Effects Of Mountaineering Activities On Sports Injuries, Body Composition And Thigh Muscle Function, Yi-Ting Fang, Chen-Liang Chou, Yi-Cheng Chen, Hong-Jen Chiou, Jin-Jong Chen, Hsuci-Chen Lee, Yi-Fen Shih

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Background: Mountaineering and hiking have become popular activities recently, but related research in Taiwan has focused mainly on physiological reactions, much more than on the musculoskeletal system. However, the results of studies from abroad cannot be directly transferred because of the unique mountain and forest environment in Taiwan. In addition, chronic mountaineering injuries and derivative benefits in terms of specific physical performances still await further study. Therefore, it is important to investigate the possible relationship between mountaineering activities and musculoskeletal or knee function changes. Purpose: This study seeks to compare the differences in sports injuries, body composition and thigh muscle …

Health-Related Quality Of Life And Hemophilic Arthropathy In Hemophilia Patients, Chih-Ya Chang, Hui-Yi Su, Yung-Tsan Wu, Yu-Chin Chen, Liang-Cheng Chen, Shin-Tsu Chang, Tsung-Ying Li

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Introduction: Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (hemophilia A) or IX (hemophilia B). The prevalence of hemophilia is approximately 1 per 105 in the general population. Repeated joint bleeding leads to chronic synovitis, cartilage damage, and bone destruction, yielding reduced range of motion (ROM), painful joints, and muscle atrophy. Hemophilic arthropathy can negatively influence perceptions of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among hemophilia patients. This study explored the correlation between hemophilic arthropathy and HRQOL among hemophilia patients in Taiwan. Methods: The participants comprised 86 patients enrolled from a hemophilia center. We …

The Treatment Of Pain With Heel Fat Pad Syndrome By Hyaluronic Acid Injection: A Casereport, Wei-Han Chang, Chih-Kuan Wu, Yu-Cheng Pei, Chih-Chi Chen, Alice Mk Wong Dec 2013

The Treatment Of Pain With Heel Fat Pad Syndrome By Hyaluronic Acid Injection: A Casereport, Wei-Han Chang, Chih-Kuan Wu, Yu-Cheng Pei, Chih-Chi Chen, Alice Mk Wong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Plantar fasciitis and heel fat pad syndrome are two of the most common causes of plantar heel pain. Because the clinical symptoms and signs are similar, the differential diagnosis between plantar fasciitis and heel fat pad syndrome is important for proper treatment. Unfortunately, conservative treatment strategies are less effective for plantar heel pain caused by heel fat pad syndrome. We present here a 56-year-old male patient with bilateral plantar heel pain that was especially severe in the left foot. We gave him an injection of 2 ml high-concentration, cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the deep derma of the painful heel pad …

Lower Extremity Prostheses Related Biomechanics, Valeria Chiu, Ming-Chuan Lin Dec 2013

Lower Extremity Prostheses Related Biomechanics, Valeria Chiu, Ming-Chuan Lin

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

During heel strike, a prosthetic foot must perform ground-reaction force shock absorption, and thereafter, must provide control of the smooth-rhythm plantar flexion movement. During the midstance phase, the foot must provide the controlled advancement of the tibia. During the terminal stance, the anterior part of the foot must act as a hard rocker to provide progression and roll over the toe and to allow center of gravity switching to the opposite site as the tibia advances. The biomechanics of the four-bar linkage knee simulates the motion of the actual human knee joint. It can be discussed by analyzed by five …

Effectiveness Of Resistance (Strength) Training For Patients With Chronic Heart Failure, Yan-Wen Chen Dec 2013

Effectiveness Of Resistance (Strength) Training For Patients With Chronic Heart Failure, Yan-Wen Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The recent advancements in cardiac disease treatments have remarkably enhanced the survival rate of patients with chronic heart failure. In patients with exercise intolerance, the accompanied peripheral myopathy plays an important role. Resistance training is beneficial for musculoskeletal function in patients with chronic heart failure. However, the left ventricular myocardial remodeling progression and the hemodynamic response are controversial. Some studies showed that for those with stable heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classes I to III level), the adequate resistance training was beneficial in improvement of aerobic capacity, muscle histology, metabolic function, and left ventricular ejection fraction. In this …
