Relationship Between Household Water Sanitation And Hygiene Behaviors And Diarrhea Between 2010-2020 In Rwanda, Amans Ntakarutimana Dr., Patrick A. Tschida Dr.

Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences

Rwanda has made considerable progressive policy efforts to significantly reduce diarrhea among children under 5 years old, especially since 2010. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the relationship between household water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) behaviors and diarrhea among children under 5 years old between 2010 and 2020. We used secondary data from the 2010, 2015, and 2020 Rwanda Demographic Health Surveys. We used descriptive statistics, pairwise comparisons, and linear regression designs to assess (a) the prevalence of household WASH behaviors across districts, regions, urban areas, and rural areas, (b) the variation of household WASH behaviors over time, and (c) …

Evaluating Generative Ai's Ability To Identify Cancer Subtypes In Publicly Available Structured Genetic Datasets, Ethan Hillis, Kriti Bhattarai, Zachary Abrams

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Genetic data play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating various diseases, reflecting a growing imperative to integrate these data into clinical care. However, significant barriers such as the structure of electronic health records (EHRs), insurance costs for genetic testing, and the interpretability of genetic results impede this integration.

METHODS: This paper explores solutions to these challenges by combining recent technological advances with informatics and data science, focusing on the diagnostic potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in cancer research. AI has historically been applied in medical research with limited success, but recent developments have led to the emergence of …

Preliminary Results In The Investigation Of In Vivo Iliac And Coronary Flow Collision, Vortex Formation, And Disorganized Flow Degeneration: Insights From Invasive Cardiology Based On Fluid Mechanics Principles And Practices, Thach Nguyen, Hieu D. Nguyen, Hoang V. K. Dinh, Tien H. T. Dinh, Khiem D. Ngo, Hieu H. Truong, Vu Tri Loc, Thien Le, Nhi Vo, Trung Q. T. Le

School of Medicine Publications

Background: In the research of coronary artery disease, the precise initial injury that starts the atherosclerotic cascade remains unidentified. Moreover, the mechanisms governing the progression or regression of coronary plaque are not yet fully understood. Based on the concept that the cardiovascular system is a network of pumps and pipes, could fluid mechanics principles and practices elucidate the question of atherosclerosis using flow dynamics images from a novel angiographic technique, focusing on antegrade and retrograde flows and their collisions in iliac and coronary arteries? Methods: From January 2023 to May 2024, coronary angiograms of all hemodynamically stable patients with stable …

Jellyfish and gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) in general, fulfill important ecological roles with significant impacts, although they are often oversimplified or misunderstood. This paper reviews the impacts, pressures, monitoring methods and current management strategies for various GZ groups. It also introduces potentially applicable indicators for their assessment in ecosystem-based management approaches, such as the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This multi-faceted review is primarily envisioned to serve as a state-of-the-art document for scientists and policymakers to foster a holistic assessment and management of GZ across European regional seas. The systematic review on global impacts of GZ shows a notable increase …

Skin In The Game: A Review Of Single-Cell And Spatial Transcriptomics In Dermatological Research, Samuel Schepps, Jonathan Xu, Henry Yang, Jenna Mandel, Jaanvi Mehta, Julianna Tolotta, Nicole Baker, Volkan Tekmen, Neda Nikbakht, Paolo Fortina, Ignacia Fuentes, Bonnie Lafleur, Raymond J Cho, Andrew P South

Staff and Researcher Publications

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) are two emerging research technologies that uniquely characterize gene expression microenvironments on a cellular or subcellular level. The skin, a clinically accessible tissue composed of diverse, essential cell populations, serves as an ideal target for these high-resolution investigative approaches. Using these tools, researchers are assembling a compendium of data and discoveries in healthy skin as well as a range of dermatologic pathophysiologies, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and cutaneous malignancies. The ongoing advancement of single-cell approaches, coupled with anticipated decreases in cost with increased adoption, will reshape dermatologic research, profoundly influencing disease characterization, …

How Family Communication Emerges In Hpv Vaccine Parent Narratives, Samantha Garcia, Suellen Hopfer, Michelle Miller-Day, Jamie Mccain, Michael L. Hecht

Communication Faculty Articles and Research

Family communication surrounding HPV vaccination can support or hinder HPV cancer prevention strategies. We used narrative communication theory to elicit HPV vaccine decision narratives in the context of family communication from a purposive sample of 29 parents of adolescents. Parent narratives indicated that family negotiations occur throughout the decision-making process, topic avoidance was common among parents of unvaccinated and undervaccinated children, parents had concerns that vaccination is a sign of approving sexual permissiveness, and family communication was often prompted by encounters in the exam room. Understanding complex family dynamics in the context of vaccination decision-making, the role of family communication …

Deep Dive Into Pakistan's Ocean Economy: An Evaluation Of Performance And Constraints, Maaziya Aijaz, Omme Hany, Nooreen Mujahid, Ali Abbas

Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics

Pakistan, a coastal country with a 1,050 km coastline and an Exclusive Economic Zone, relies on the ocean economy for approximately 0.4% of its national GDP. The ocean economy of Pakistan comprises various sectors, including fisheries, maritime transportation, offshore oil and gas exploration, tourism, and marine biotechnology. Over the years, Pakistan has made progress in these sectors, with notable growth in fish exports and the development of deep-sea ports. However, several challenges are hindering the full realization of the ocean's economic potential. These challenges include inadequate infrastructure, outdated regulations, unsustainable fishing practices, pollution, and geopolitical tensions affecting maritime trade. Despite …

Jibu Customer Carbon Savings In Rwanda, Lauren Kelley, Lia Kraaijvanger

Silicon Valley Sociological Review

Jibu Inc. is a social enterprise in Rwanda that addresses the essential service need for clean drinking water. The following report aims to understand Jibu’s potential for acquiring a carbon credit certification by investigating customers’ water treatment methods before becoming Jibu customers. Data was collected on Jibu customers by way of a quantitative survey that uncovered customer profiles and carbon savings. Our analysis reveals that before purchasing Jibu water, many current customers treated water at home using carbon-emitting practices such as boiling water with charcoal or gas. Jibu customers are now reducing carbon emissions since they are no longer boiling …

Purpose of Review

Disparities within the healthcare system serve as barriers to care that lead to poor outcomes for patients. These healthcare disparities are present in all facets of medicine and extend to musculoskeletal oncology care. There are various tenets to health disparities with some factors being modifiable and non-modifiable. The factors play a direct role in a patient’s access to care, time of presentation, poor social determinants of health, outcomes and survival.

Recent Findings

In musculoskeletal oncologic care, factors such as race, socioeconomic factors and insurance status are correlated to advanced disease upon presentation and poor survival for patients …
