Musculoskeletal Tumours Throughout History And Beyond: Clinical Features, Imaging, Staging And Biopsy, Akbar Jaleel Zubairi, Obada Hussein Hasan, Mohammad Mustafa, Masood Umer

Section of Orthopaedic Surgery

Background: Over the last century, there has been a remarkable development in the study of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This is primarily due to the improved knowledge of the nature of these lesions and the improved imaging technology. In literature there are many protocols that are being used and all of them have reported various advantages and disadvantages of each technique used. However, there is no set guideline and whatever has been proposed has been developed on the basis of the experience of different centres and different surgeons.
Objective: The current systematic review was planned to thoroughly evaluate the …

The Life And Death And Consequences Of Canals And Spoil Banks In Salt Marshes, R. Eugene Turner, Erick M. Swenson

Faculty Publications

We describe the consequence and demise of levees (spoil banks) built from dredging canals in Louisiana salt marshes using morphometric measurements made over 30 years, soil collections on the spoil bank and in the salt marshes behind, and complementary observations from other areas. These measurements were used to determine the temporal bounds of how long spoil banks last and if salt marsh soils remaining in salt marshes are affected. If the rates of changes in spoil bank morphology continue, then the estimated life time of the shrub-tree vegetation at a representative spoil bank is 81 years, the spoil bank width …

Disease Modification Trials In Parkinsons Disease: A Review, Ramla Nayaib Hashmi, Ummul Kiram

Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences (PJNS)

Among the common neurological disorders worldwide, Parkinson’s disease has a major share. Currently, only symptomatic therapies are available for it without any approved neuromodulation drugs as all the previously done disease modification trials have failed. There is a dire need for such therapies. Disease modification trials include all types of intervention targeting the degeneration process which underlies the disease process and thus slows it down or the treatment aim to regenerate or replace the neurons which are lost. There are many reasons for the failure of trials. This review emphasize the need for disease modification trials, causes of failure of …

Melting Temperature Of Mapk14, Jacalyn Gustavson, Emily Ruff

Student Research and Creative Projects 2020-2021

Protein kinase domains transfer the γ phosphate of an ATP molecule to a serine, threonine, or tyrosine residue of a protein or peptide substrate1. This phosphorylation can activate or deactivate the protein, meaning that kinases are often important regulators of various cell activities. The active sites of kinase domains are highly conserved as they all bind ATP and have similar functions1. Kinases are very popular drug targets as they play a significant role in cell signaling pathways. Kinase dysregulation has been shown to play a role in many cancers and other diseases, making them a popular target for drugs4. Identifying …

Impact Of Lysine On Mouse Reproductive Behavior, Wren Dieterman, Corissa Kern, Mark Garbrecht

Student Research and Creative Projects 2020-2021

Lysine, an essential amino acid, has a large effect on growth in mammals. C57BL/6 mice were measured on different variables throughout their entire life; starting at the juvenile stage, followed by pregnancy, and as newborns. Weight gain/loss, food consumption, and pup weight gain, activity, color and hair growth were completed with the mice in a low lysine group, which had 4 g/kg of lysine in their diet, and with mice in the control group, which had 14 g/kg of lysine in their diet. During pregnancy, observations were made on weight gain, as well as on food consumption. The results revealed …

Fault Diagnosis Of Reverse Osmosis Water Desalination Based On Optimized Support Vector Machine, Zhang Biao, Jianfeng Xing, Zhicheng Ji

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: According to the reverse osmosis membrane fault problems in reverse osmosis water desalination system, a fault diagnosis method based on support vector machine (SVM) was introduced for fault diagnoses. To solve the problem of parameter optimization in SVM, an improved chaos particle swarm algorithm was proposed. The introduction of Chaos theory to particle swarm optimization algorithm may not only enhance the diversity of the population and particle global search ability, but also improve the convergence speed and accuracy of the particle swarm algorithm. The optimized SVM model was applied to the fault diagnosis of reverse osmosis water desalination system. …

Luteolin Induces Cytotoxicity In Mix Cellularity Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma Via Caspase Activated-Cell Death, Rajendra Gharbaran, Enyuan Shang, Onyekwere Onwumere, Naomi Codrington, Evangelina Dankwa Sarpong, Stephen M. Redenti

Publications and Research

Background/aim: We investigated the effects of luteolin (LUT) on classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL), since such studies in malignant lymphomas are lacking.

Materials and methods: Effect of LUT on cell growth was assessed with water-soluble tetrazolium 1 (WST-1) cell proliferation assay and automated hemocytometry on trypan blue-exclusion assay. Cell death was investigated with acridine orange/ethidium bromide live-dead assay, propidium iodide (PI) flow cytometry, and Annexin-V-PI microscopy. Caspase activation was studied using CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green detection reagent. High resolution immunofluorescence microscopy was used to detect cleaved-PARP-1.

Results: LUT induced a dose-dependent decrease in the growth of KMH2 and L428 cells, cellular models …
