Adalimumab Therapy For Crohn’S Disease And Axial Spondyloarthritis In Latent Tuberculosis: A Bibliometric-Systematic Literature Review, Nyimas Maida Shofa, Nurike Setiyari Mudjari, Rusdiyana Ekawati, Arianti Arianti, Annisa Zahra Mufida, Budi Widodo, Titong Sugihartono

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

The management of Crohn’s disease (CD) using anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy in tuberculosis (TB)-endemic regions poses major clinical challenges due to the risk of latent TB infection reactivation. This bibliometric–systematic literature review synthesised evidence from 17 peer-reviewed studies (2020–2025) evaluating adalimumab administered with concurrent prophylactic antitubercular therapy. Thematic synthesis and bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer demonstrated that adalimumab achieved 60–85% clinical remission in moderate-to-severe CD and axial spondyloarthritis while enhancing mucosal healing. However, 1–3% of patients developed active TB despite appropriate screening and isoniazid prophylaxis, revealing false-negative diagnostics and partial chemoprophylaxis protection. These findings highlight the need for region-specific frameworks integrating …

Advances In Hpv Vaccination In People Living With Hiv: A Review, Megan Mooberry, J Brooks Jackson, Mary B Rysavy Feb 2026

Advances In Hpv Vaccination In People Living With Hiv: A Review, Megan Mooberry, J Brooks Jackson, Mary B Rysavy

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide and is a leading cause of cervical, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers. This review summarizes the epidemiology of HPV and the immunogenicity, clinical efficacy, and current HPV vaccination recommendations among people living with HIV (PLWH). PLWH experience a disproportionate burden of HPV-related infection and HPV-related malignancies. Although HPV vaccines have been shown to be highly effective, vaccination coverage among PLWH remains suboptimal, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Barriers to vaccination include extended dosing schedules, limited awareness of the vaccine, and misinformation. Evidence indicates HPV vaccines are safe and …

Strain-Level Heterogeneity In Gardnerella Urinary Tract Persistence And Pathogenesis In An In Vivo Model Is Consistent With Comparative Phylogenomic Analyses, Lokesh Kumar, Sonia N Whang, Deborah K Verges, Robert F Potter, Nicole M Gilbert Feb 2026

Strain-Level Heterogeneity In Gardnerella Urinary Tract Persistence And Pathogenesis In An In Vivo Model Is Consistent With Comparative Phylogenomic Analyses, Lokesh Kumar, Sonia N Whang, Deborah K Verges, Robert F Potter, Nicole M Gilbert

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Gardnerella is a bacterial genera commonly present in the female urogenital tract, especially in bacterial vaginosis. Gardnerella are frequently detected in urine collected directly from the bladder and have been implicated in urinary incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections. Understanding the contribution of Gardnerella to pathogenesis is complicated by its genetic heterogeneity and a shortage of data from in vivo models. One clinical isolate of Gardnerella triggered urothelial exfoliation and promoted urinary tract infection by uropathogenic E. coli in a mouse model. This study was designed to compare diverse Gardnerella strains in vivo to identify genomic variation associated with …

The Inaccessibility Of Scientific Writing And Science Denial, Emma Eisen Feb 2026

The Inaccessibility Of Scientific Writing And Science Denial, Emma Eisen

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

The inaccessibility of scientific writing causes an increase in science denial. The frustration experienced by nonscientists due to the exclusivity, both in language and cost of subscriptions to scientific journals, often results in the rejection of scientific consensus and acceptance of the more accessible and understandable alternative perspectives presented by science deniers. Through the analysis of demographic studies on the relationship between native language and access to higher education and attitudes toward vaccines, this presentation further discusses how these marginalized demographics are excluded from scientific consensus leading to an increase in science denial.

Science Denial And Public Policy, Mary Kae Kuenster Feb 2026

Science Denial And Public Policy, Mary Kae Kuenster

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

This research project will investigate the influence science denial has on public policy. This topic is extremely relevant in today’s political climate, with many issues being centered around scientific debates. This project focuses on education policies regarding evolution and intelligent design. To accomplish this research, I will examine sites that both advocate for and disagree with the implementation of intelligent design in the classroom, as well as historical and recent legal cases surrounding the topic. By examining these examples, this project aims to highlight how science denial undermines evidence based decision making.

Scrolling For Meaning: How Social Media Influence Young People’S Spirituality And Trust In Scientific Authority, Archna Yadav Feb 2026

Scrolling For Meaning: How Social Media Influence Young People’S Spirituality And Trust In Scientific Authority, Archna Yadav

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

This project examines how social media and secular digital culture influence the spiritual growth, moral values, and trust in science among young people. My claim is that social media acts like a parallel source of authority, shaping ideas about meaning, morality, and truth. Evidence from studies shows that many young people now form personal belief systems by blending religious ideas, secular practices, and even pseudo-scientific claims. The warrant is that online algorithms, influencers, emotional content, and identity-based communities strongly guide what youth believe. As a result, spiritual and moral formation is increasingly shaped by digital platforms rather than traditional institutions.

Religious Beliefs And Organ Donation: Investigating Religious Beliefs And Their Positions On Donation, Alejandra Penaranda

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

The worldwide demand for organs is not being met, creating the Organ Crisis. A common belief is that religions are against the practice of donation and transplantation of organs. This presentation will dive deeper into the different religious beliefs of the most populated religions to determine their stances on the issue.The evidence used was religious websites and articles, journals, and news articles. Through this research, the positive opinions that religions have regarding organ donation will come to light, suggesting that something else is to blame when people are choosing against donating their or a loved one’s organs.

Misinformation In The Digital Age: How Social Media Fuels Science Denial And Ways To Stop It, Jocelyn Morales Feb 2026

Misinformation In The Digital Age: How Social Media Fuels Science Denial And Ways To Stop It, Jocelyn Morales

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

This paper examines how social media platforms contribute to the spread of science denial and explores strategies to combat misinformation. The rise of digital platforms such as Twitter (now X) and Facebook has transformed how information is shared, but it has also created fertile ground for the rapid diffusion of false or misleading content. Research by Harman et al. (2025) demonstrates that science denial has far-reaching social consequences, delaying policy responses, undermining collective action, and increasing societal vulnerability. Lanier et al. (2022) further reveal how hashtags like #plandemic and #scamdemic on Twitter amplified COVID-19 misinformation, fueling pandemic denial and anti-public-health …

Faith Over Fossils: How Creationist Deny The Authenticity Of Carbon Dating, Mason Black Feb 2026

Faith Over Fossils: How Creationist Deny The Authenticity Of Carbon Dating, Mason Black

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

My claim is that young-earth creationist groups, such as Answers in Genesis, deny the authenticity of radiometric dating by excluding any evidence that goes against their belief that the Earth is only a few thousand years old. I did this by looking at various articles made by Answers in Genesis to see what arguments are made and what information is left out.

Manufacturing Doubt: How The Conservative Movement Shaped American Climate Denial, Bjorn Anderson Feb 2026

Manufacturing Doubt: How The Conservative Movement Shaped American Climate Denial, Bjorn Anderson

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

The American conservative movement has used its power to spread climate change denial through organizational infrastructure, psychological exploitation, and sustained messaging campaigns, producing measurable polarization in public opinion. I reference articles which document the organizational infrastructure of the movement, which study psychological mechanisms that explain conservative receptiveness to climate denial, and which detail the resulting shift in societal beliefs through data analysis and polling. These sources establish a relationship between the deliberate campaign from corporations and conservative leaders and resulting increases in climate change denial.
