Dual Effect Of Secondary Solutes On Binding Equilibria: Contributions From Solute–Reactant Interactions And Solute–Water Interactions, Daryl Eggers, Jennifer M. Le, Nhi T. Nham, Duc N. Pham, Bria M. Castellano

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

This study examines the role of water in binding equilibria with a special focus on secondary solutes (cosolutes) that influence the equilibrium but are not constituents of the final product. Using a thermodynamic framework that includes an explicit term for the release of water molecules upon binding, this investigation reveals how solutes may alter equilibria by changing the activity of the reactants, reflected in ΔG°(obs), and by changing the chemical potential of the solvent, reflected in ΔGS. The framework is applied to four experimental binding systems that differ in the degree of electrostatic contributions. The model …

Altered Outer Retinal Structure, Electrophysiology And Visual Perception In Parkinson's Disease, Katie K N Tran, Pei Ying Lee, David I Finkelstein, Allison M Mckendrick, Bao N Nguyen, Bang V Bui, Christine T O Nguyen

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

BACKGROUND: Visual biomarkers of Parkinson's disease (PD) are attractive as the retina is an outpouching of the brain. Although inner retinal neurodegeneration in PD is well-established this has overlap with other neurodegenerative diseases and thus outer retinal (photoreceptor) measures warrant further investigation.

OBJECTIVE: To examine in a cross-sectional study whether clinically implementable measures targeting outer retinal function and structure can differentiate PD from healthy ageing and whether these are sensitive to intraday levodopa (L-DOPA) dosing.

METHODS: Centre-surround perceptual contrast suppression, macular visual field sensitivity, colour discrimination, light-adapted electroretinography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were tested in PD participants (n = …

Dose-Escalated Preoperative Proton Therapy For Retroperitoneal Sarcomas: Initial Outcomes Of A New Treatment Paradigm, Sreenija Yarlagadda, Tugce Kutuk, Ramon Jimenez, Muni Rubens, Matthew Hall, Nicole Eiseler, Noah Kalman

All Publications

Purpose: Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) have varied treatment practices with regard to the use of radiation therapy (RT). Preoperative RT ∼50 Gy is commonly used, but the Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy in Untreated Nonmetastatic Retroperitoneal Sarcoma (STRASS-1) randomized trial demonstrated no improvement in abdominal recurrence-free survival with preoperative RT. Dose escalation has been proposed to improve the efficacy of preoperative RT. We analyzed RPS treated with preoperative intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) to an escalated dose of 63 Gy at a single institution.

Methods and materials: Patients who received preoperative RT with IMPT with RPS between January 2015 and …

Surgical Approaches For Thoracic Outlet Decompression In The Treatment Of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Stijn B. J. Teijink, Jens Goeteyn, Niels Pesser, Bart F. L. Van Nuenen, Robert W. Thompson, Joep A. W. Teijink

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a controversial and uncommon syndrome. Three different diagnoses can be made based on the compressed structure: arterial TOS, venous TOS, and neurogenic TOS. Diagnosing TOS, especially neurogenic TOS, remains difficult since a single diagnostic tool does not exist. Although this resulted in a lot of confusion, standardization of care and outcome improved daily care practice measures in the last decade. Current treatment algorithms consist of both conservative and surgical treatment approaches, which should be chosen depending on the type of TOS and extend of the complaints. Surgical treatment of TOS is performed via thoracic outlet …
