Social Disparities: Household Income In Poverty Stricken Ecuador Affecting Cognitive Function In Children, A. Chamberlain, M. Williams, Jane H. Lassetter

Faculty Publications

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the largest nutritional disorders in the world. Approximately 25% of the world’s population has anemia with 50% of those cases being IDA, according to the World Health Organization. The reduced oxygen carrying capacity associated with anemia can have many adverse effects. Many anemia studies have been done on infants but few have been done on school-aged children. A charity organization in Ecuador has been identifying anemia prevalence among children within a suburb of Guayaquil. To further identify possible risks resulting from anemia, a study comparing cognitive function with anemia rates was conducted in …

The Anchor, Volume 128.19: March 11, 2015, Hope College

The Anchor: 2015

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

A Wider Pelvis Does Not Increase Locomotor Cost In Humans, With Implications For The Evolution Of Childbirth, Anna G. Warrener, Kristi L. Lewton, Herman Pontzer, Daniel E. Lieberman

Publications and Research

The shape of the human female pelvis is thought to reflect an evolutionary trade-off between two competing demands: a pelvis wide enough to permit the birth of large-brained infants, and narrow enough for efficient bipedal locomotion. This trade-off, known as the obstetrical dilemma, is invoked to explain the relative difficulty of human childbirth and differences in locomotor performance between men and women. The basis for the obstetrical dilemma is a standard static biomechanical model that predicts wider pelves in females increase the metabolic cost of locomotion by decreasing the effective mechanical advantage of the hip abductor muscles for pelvic stabilization …

Urban Roadways: A Refreshing Look At Roadside Projects, Carrie Tauscher

Purdue Road School

This presentation will provide information that leads to better planning and establishment of safe, successful, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally conscious highway projects integrating trees and other vegetation in ways that fit the needs of the plant material, project, and community. Case studies of successful highway and roadway projects in Indiana that address common project challenges such as planning, partnerships, and positive perception will be discussed.

Low-Cost, High-Impact Bicycle And Pedestrian Investments, Pete Fritz

Purdue Road School

A built environment that supports active living through walking and biking is critical to a healthy, equitable, and prosperous community. As demand for active transportation infrastructure grows, early implementation of small-scale projects can drive support for larger future investments. In this session, learn about low-cost, high-impact investments that will dramatically improve the safety, accessibility, and appeal of your community’s walking and biking infrastructure for residents of all ages and abilities.

Targeting Tumor-Initiating Cells: Eliminating Anabolic Cancer Stem Cells With Inhibitors Of Protein Synthesis Or By Mimicking Caloric Restriction., Rebecca Lamb, Hannah Harrison, Duncan L Smith, Paul A Townsend, Thomas Jackson, Bela Ozsvari, Ubaldo E. Martinez-Outshoorn, Md, Richard Pestell, Anthony Howell, Michael P. Lisanti, Federica Sotgia

Kimmel Cancer Center Faculty Papers

We have used an unbiased proteomic profiling strategy to identify new potential therapeutic targets in tumor-initiating cells (TICs), a.k.a., cancer stem cells (CSCs). Towards this end, the proteomes of mammospheres from two breast cancer cell lines were directly compared to attached monolayer cells. This allowed us to identify proteins that were highly over-expressed in CSCs and/or progenitor cells. We focused on ribosomal proteins and protein folding chaperones, since they were markedly over-expressed in mammospheres. Overall, we identified >80 molecules specifically associated with protein synthesis that were commonly upregulated in mammospheres. Most of these proteins were also transcriptionally upregulated in human …

Practice Recommendations For Mental Health Professionals: Perspectives From Grandparents And Their Adolescent Grandchildren, Kendra A. O'Hora, Megan L. Dolbin-Macnab

GrandFamilies: The Contemporary Journal of Research, Practice and Policy

Although grandfamilies are consumers of a variety of mental health services, less is known about what these families, particularly the grandchildren, want from practitioners. To gain insight into how practitioners can best meet the needs of grandfamilies, 40 custodial grandmothers and their adolescent grandchildren were interviewed. Results of a qualitative analysis indicated that grandmothers and grandchildren did not make clear distinctions between various types of services and service providers. Grandchildren, in particular, emphasized the need for mental health professionals to facilitate mentoring and to provide opportunities for grandchildren to socialize with other grandchildren who have been through similar circumstances. Grandmothers …

Early Childhood Overweight And Obesity In Multigenerational Households, Chelsea O. Mckinney

GrandFamilies: The Contemporary Journal of Research, Practice and Policy

This study investigates grandmothers’ role in the health of their grandchildren. The relationship between child weight status from ages three to nine and grandmothers’ coresidence up to age nine is examined using data from The Fragile Families and Wellbeing Study, a large nationally representative dataset of urban low-income families in the United States. Logistic regression estimates the association between grandmother coresidence and child unhealthy weight status. Analyses adjust for child and mother characteristics, culture, race/ethnicity, SES, parenting practices, and built environment. Children who have ever lived with a grandmother by age three are at increased odds of unhealthy weight at …

Effects Of Fructose-Derived Advanced Glycation End Products On Acetylation Of Histones In The Brain, Alissa K. Cornacchia, Mackenzie Hall, Melinda E. Lull

Undergraduate External Publications

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of fructose and their advanced glycation end products (fru-AGES) on histone acetylation in microglia, the immune cells of the brain.

Significance: Fru-AGES primarily form as a result of non-enzymatic reactions between fructose and proteins. One result is inflammation in the brain, which can be directly correlated to increased microglia activity. Microglial activity has been shown to be associated with the acetylation of histones, resulting in a change in transcription of inflammatory genes. Elucidation of a direct link between fructose, fru-AGES and histone acetylation would increase understanding the pathophysiology of …
