Towards An Indigenous Climate Epistemology: Bringing The Newa Literary Tradition Of The Swasthani Vrata Katha In Conversation With The Festival Tradition Of The Macchindra Nath Jatra, Shangrila Joshi Dr.

Critical Humanities

This paper brings into conversation two Newa cultural traditions to articulate notions of climate adaptation, resilience, and mitigation, to illustrate how ways of knowing, ways of being, and ways of governing are inherently linked. These articulations offer a framework for developing what the author calls an Indigenous Climate Epistemology. The two cultural traditions reviewed include: a 17^th century Newa literary tradition that advocates for keeping oil in the ground, and that instructs ordinary people to engage in ritual acts seemingly designed to develop personal and community resilience; and a 1700 year old annual community festival designed to avert catastrophes …

The Radical Potential Of Ecopoetics: Ecological Intimacy In Forrest Gander’S Twice Alive, Thomas Storey

Critical Humanities

Ecopoetics is a contested term, one defined by its capaciousness. Through its focus on deep ecology, it draws together the world system and the individual, the collective and the singular, and the global and the placed-based within its dialectical framework, without resolving any of these oppositions. Instead, the apparent contradictions underlying ecopoetics offer productive material for a poetic praxis that aims to foreground the complex connections that string together nature, culture, politics, and society. Forrest Gander’s Twice Alive engages with these contradictions in an attempt to foreground the intimacy of ecological thinking, and its basis in personal connections that are …

Comparison Of Autograft, Allograft, And Conduits For Peripheral Upper Extremity Nerve Repair A Critical Review Of The Current State Of Bone Grafting In Orthopaedic Surgery, Samantha Meacock

Bone Bulletin

Introduction

Several mechanisms of injury can cause peripheral nerve injury (PNI) and subsequent impaired quality of life with loss of motor and/or sensory function. Trauma is a common cause of injury with the most commonly injured nerves being the radial (53%), ulnar (32%), and median nerves (15%).¹ The preferred treatment for PNI is reconnecting severed nerve ends anatomically with tension-free end-to-end direct nerve repair of healthy fascicles. However, if the nerve ends cannot be brought together without tension, gapping can occur, and a direct tension-less repair is not possible.⁵ In the case of a lengthy nerve gap, a …

Late Onset Malignant Metastatic Transformation Of Benign Pheochromocytoma, Maha Zafar, Reshly Mary Rajan, Manaswini Krishnakumar, Aswanth Reddy

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal paraganglia. Metastatic pheochromocytomas, pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their atypical presentations and potential for malignant transformation years after primary tumor resection. We report a case of 61-year-old woman who presented with intermittent cough, shortness of breath, and elevated blood pressure 6 years after resection of primary adrenal pheochromocytoma. Imaging revealed bilateral pulmonary nodules, a retroperitoneal mass, and L4 vertebral involvement, raising suspicion for metastatic pheochromocytoma. Elevated serum metanephrines and normetanephrines, alongside tissue biopsy and MIBG imaging, confirmed diagnosis. Germline genetic testing did not reveal …

An Unusual Presentation Of Iga Vasculitis And Iga Nephropathy: A Case Report, Mark A. Colantonio, Nicholas Condiles, Alan P. Lim, Khaled Shawwa

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide. While IgA nephropathy mainly presents with renal manifestations, systemic symptoms associated with vasculitis are uncommon. Oftentimes, creatinine is used as a serum marker for renal dysfunction; however, it may not always be sensitive, especially in patients with low muscle mass. In such cases, cystatin C may prove to be a better indicator of renal function. Here, we present a case of IgA nephropathy with a normal serum creatinine and elevated cystatin C, highlighting the utility of cystatin C in the setting of a normal creatinine and high suspicion for renal …

Pulmonary Mycobactetrium Kumamotonense With Hepatosplenic Dissemination In An Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report And Review, Michael S. Wang, Jeremiah Chang, Tiffany Whelan, Bo Liu, Katie Fitton, Jeffrey J Grondin

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

We report a 69-year-old with a past medical history of prostate cancer and arsenic poisoning, who was incidentally found to have multiple pulmonary nodules and hepatosplenic lesions on CT imaging. He denied respiratory symptoms, but was noted to have significant weight loss. A bronchoscopy revealed mycobacterium kumamotonense on culture. He was treated presumptively for pulmonary and disseminated infection with azithromycin and ethambutol for 16 months, and 12 months of rifabutin after four months of rifampin which was discontinued due to resistance. Patient’s weight loss resolved and CT imaging appeared significantly improved.

Despite lung cancer affecting all races and ethnicities, disparities are observed in incidence and mortality rates among different ethnic groups in the United States. Non-Hispanic African Americans had a high incidence rate of lung cancer at 55.8 per 100 000 people, as well as the highest death rate at 37.2 per 100 000 people from 2016 to 2020. While previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 45 susceptibility risk loci that influence lung cancer development, few GWAS have investigated the etiology of lung cancer in African Americans. To address this gap in knowledge, we conducted GWAS of lung cancer …

Effects Of Self-Monitoring On Teachers’ Behavior-Specific Praise And Students’ Behavior In A Center-Based Classroom, Samantha Walsh

Theses

The current study explores the effects of self-monitoring on teachers' use of behavior-specific praise (BSP) and its impact on student behavior in a center-based classroom. Self-monitoring, a cost-effective and time-efficient intervention, has been proven effective in previous research for enhancing educator performance. However, previous studies have often combined self-monitoring with other interventions, leaving a gap in understanding its effects in isolation. This study aims to replicate the work of Justus et al. (2023) by examining the impact of self-monitoring on paraprofessionals in a center-based classroom with students aged 6-10. Using a multiple baseline design across participants, three paraprofessionals were trained …

The Trapping Of Live Neutrophils By Macrophages During Infection, Kelley N Cooper, Marina Terekhova, Barbara Potempa, Ana D'Aubeterre, Jerome Timbol, Si An Chen, Antoine Dufour, Shunying Jin, Maxim N Artyomov, Jan Potempa, Juhi Bagaitkar

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Neutrophils are highly abundant in the oral mucosal tissues, and their balanced activation and clearance are essential for immune homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate that neutrophils infected with the bacterial pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) are captured alive by macrophages in a manner that bypasses all known receptor-ligand interactions involved in the phagocytosis of either live or dead cells. Mechanistically, upon interaction with Pg, or its protease RgpB (gingipains), live neutrophils undergo rapid remodeling of their proteomes, generating neoepitopes. N-terminomics-based proteomic profiling identified multiple RgpB cleavage sites on several azurophilic granule proteins that are translocated to the surface of live neutrophils via …

Abstract

This paper explores the intricate dynamics of class, stratification, and social inequality, emphasizing the interplay of wealth, power, and prestige in shaping individual opportunities and societal outcomes. Drawing on foundational theories from Marxist and functionalist perspectives, it examines the mechanisms by which economic and social structures reinforce or challenge class divisions. The analysis extends to the evolution of American economic disparity, particularly during the transformative 1980s, and examines policies aimed at addressing poverty, such as those articulated by Sar Levitan and the implementation of the Social Security Act. Through a nuanced discussion of cultural capital, the role of …

Response Of Various Body Parts Of House Flies, Musca Domestica, To Sucrose, Panchalie B. Gunathunga, Merveille Muyizere, Bethia H. King

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

Insects use multiple body parts, not just their mouth, to taste. Whether a particular body part has a taste function can be determined by examining the morphology or electrophysiological response of its sensilla (sense organs) or by its behavioral response. The present study investigated taste response of each of the three pairs of tarsi, tibiae, femurs, as well as the antennae and wings, in house flies, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae). This was done by measuring the proboscis extension response (PER), and in the case of the wings, also the grooming behavior. PER is a visible precursor to consumption. The …

Strategies For Reducing Employee Turnover In Long-Term Care, Eleanor Denise Gaines

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

High employee turnover in long-term care (LTC) facilities contributes to diminished care quality, low staff morale, and increased operational costs. LTC organizational leaders must address high turnover because it disrupts continuity of care, undermines team cohesion, and increases the burden of recruiting and training new staff. This qualitative multiple case study explored strategies used by human resource managers (HRMs) to improve staff retention and morale in LTC settings, motivated by the need to prevent workforce deterioration, enhance competitive advantage, and increase organizational profitability. Grounded in Herzberg’s two-factor theory, the purpose of the study was to identify evidence-based practices that effectively …

Synthesis And Evaluation Of Novobiocin Analogues As Potential Inhibitors Of Polymerase Theta Polθ In Dna Damage And Repair, Mohammed Essam Albuhluli

Theses and Dissertations

Killing tumors while leaving normal cells unharmed is the goal of precision cancer therapy, a challenging feat that is enabled by targeting tumor-specific vulnerabilities [1]. Targeting Polθ potentiates PARP inhibitors (PARPi) in specifically killing homology-directed repair (HDR)-deficient tumor cells and re-sensitize PARPi resistant tumor cells [1]. The induced essentiality between Polθ and HDR-deficiency underscores the value of Polθ as a therapeutic target in the context of tumors with HDR genetic mutations [1]. The helicase-like domain (HLD) is a super family 2 (SF2)-type domain with DNA-dependent ATPase activity [1]. We previously discovered that the antibiotic NVB acts as an inhibitor of …

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Cancer cells uptake excessive nutrients by expressing higher levels of glucose and/or amino acid transporters to meet their increased energy demands. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), is regarded as a cancer-specific transporter for the uptake of large neutral amino acids such as L-tryptophan. However, the mechanism by which LAT1 rewires cellular metabolism to promote cancer progression and chemoresistance have not yet been investigated.

METHODS: The protein levels of LAT1, p-PKM2, and p-LDHA were determined in breast cancer tissue arrays by immunohistochemistry staining followed by survival analysis. The orthotopic breast cancer models in mice, syngeneic breast cancer models, and …

Parkinson Disease Signaling Pathways, Molecular Mechanisms, And Potential Therapeutic Strategies: A Comprehensive Review, Muhammad S Khan, Somayyeh Nasiripour, Jean C Bopassa

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Parkinson's disease (PD) is considered the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide; treating this disease remains quite challenging. Environmental and genetic factors may play a role in the pathophysiology of PD. α-synuclein aggregation, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, mitochondrial failure, neuroinflammation, and gut dysbiosis are among the known risk factors of PD. The pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease is complicated by the interconnections between these molecular pathways, which also present significant obstacles to treatment development. However, due to its complex mechanism and long latency, PD is difficult to diagnose and detect, which presents a barrier to treatment. In addition, the need to develop …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

RAS genes are frequently mutated in cancer, often at codons 12 and 61. With the recent introduction of RAS inhibitors, we can now directly investigate the effects of specific RAS mutations in cancer cells. In this study, we demonstrate that in tumors with RASG12X mutations, mutant RAS can be activated by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), and PI3K activation is dependent on mutant RAS. Conversely, RASQ61X mutations activate the MAPK cascade independently of RTKs, and inhibition of RASQ61X impairs MAPK pathway activation but leaves the PI3K pathway unaffected. Our characterization of these distinct features of G12X and Q61X mutations suggests that …
