Predictors Of Transition From Child And Adolescent Bipolar Not Otherwise Specified To Bipolar I Disorder, A Longitudinal 3.9-Year Study., María Ribeiro-Fernández, Azucena Díez-Suárez, Kiki D Chang, Cesar A Soutullo

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: Children and adolescents with subthreshold manic symptoms not meeting full DSM criteria for bipolar I or II disorder (BP-I or BP-II) are classified as unspecified bipolar disorder (formerly bipolar not otherwise specified: BP-NOS). Factors associated with transition from BP-II or NOS to BP-I may predict the progression of the disorder. Our objective is to analyze factors associated with transition to BP-I in a Spanish sample of youth with BP-NOS or BP-II.

Methods: We included all youth diagnosed with BP before 18 years of age presenting to our clinic (October 1999-December 2014). We assessed clinical factors that may predict transition …

Neuroprotective Effects Of Magnesium: Implications For Neuroinflammation And Cognitive Decline, Veer Patel, Nuraly S. Akimbekov, William B. Grant, Carolyn Dean, Xiaoqian Fang, Mohammed S. Razzaque

School of Medicine Publications

Neurodegenerative diseases, which are characterized by progressive neuronal loss and cognitive decline, are a significant concern for the aging population. Neuroinflammation, a shared characteristic of these diseases, is implicated in their pathogenesis. This article briefly summarizes the role of magnesium, an essential mineral involved in numerous enzymatic reactions and critical for neuronal bioactivity, in the context of neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. The potential neuroprotective effects of magnesium, including the mechanisms of neuroprotection by magnesium through maintaining neuronal ion homeostasis, reducing inflammation, and preventing excitotoxicity, are also described. Additionally, we discuss the impact of inadequate magnesium on neuroinflammation and its potential …

Cd8Α Structural Domains Enhance Gucy2c Car-T Cell Efficacy, Trevor R. Baybutt, Ariana A. Entezari, Adi Caspi, Ross E. Staudt, Robert D. Carlson, Scott A. Waldman, Adam E. Snook

Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Cancer Biology Faculty Papers

Despite success in treating some hematological malignancies, CAR-T cells have not yet produced similar outcomes in solid tumors due, in part, to the tumor microenvironment, poor persistence, and a paucity of suitable target antigens. Importantly, the impact of the CAR components on these challenges remains focused on the intracellular signaling and antigen-binding domains. In contrast, the flexible hinge and transmembrane domains have been commoditized and are the least studied components of the CAR. Here, we compared the hinge and transmembrane domains derived from either the CD8ɑ or CD28 molecule in identical GUCY2C-targeted third-generation designs for colorectal cancer. While these structural …

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic chronic condition leading to fragile bones and frequent bone fractures with wide-reaching health implications. Current literature suggests that children with chronic diseases face unique challenges at school, yet research regarding educational concerns among those with OI is limited. The present study involved qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 10 children with OI and 12 caregivers of a child with OI. Children and caregivers participated in the interviews individually; they were not dyads of participants. Half of the caregivers who participated had OI themselves. The interviews were coded, and six themes were identified: (1) …

A Review Of Studies On Hiv Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis In Community Pharmacies In States With Restrictive Pharmacist Prescription Authority In The United States, Hongmei Wang, Dominique Guinn, Xavier Roshitha Ramisetty, Thomas P Giordano, Ivy O Poon

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Community pharmacies have unparalleled potential to increase access to pre-exposure prophylaxis medications (PrEP) for HIV prevention; however, only 17 out of 50 states in the United States have statewide authority for pharmacists to provide PrEP at community pharmacies. Few studies have reported on how pharmacists overcome the legislative barrier and provide PrEP services in restrictive pharmacy prescription states. The objective of this article is to identify the existing primary literature describing pharmacist PrEP services in the community in states with restrictive prescription authority. Methods: A systemic literature review was conducted to identify the primary literature that involved community pharmacy service …

Experiences Of Integrating Social Prescribing Link Workers Into Primary Care In England: Bolting On, Fitting In Or Belonging, Stephanie Tierney, Debra Westlake, Geoff Wong, Amadea Turk, Steven Markham, Jordan Gorenberg, Joanne Reeve, Caroline Mitchell, Kerryn Husk, Sabi Redwood, Catherine Pope, Beccy Baird, Kamal R.
