Sting Activation Induces Cytotoxic And Immune Responses In Meningiomas Via Inflammatory Cell Death Pathways, Mark W Youngblood, Alexander H Stegh, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Meningiomas are common tumors of the central nervous system that are typically treated with surgery or radiation, but lack established systemic therapies. Activation of the stimulator of interferon genes pathway with an agonist such as 8803 can trigger anti-tumor immune responses. Using integrated molecular approaches, here we show that this pathway is targetable in both neoplastic and immune populations within the meningioma microenvironment. Meningioma tumor cells exhibit promoter hypomethylation and increased chromatin accessibility of the STING genomic locus, associated with robust expression of this gene. Treatment of diverse patient meningiomas ex vivo with 8803 induces direct tumor cytotoxicity through inflammatory …

Severe Diabetic Gastroparesis Masquerading As Emphysematous Gastritis And Surgical Abdomen, Mark Gamadia, Bianca Gamadia, Charles K. Sonaliya

Student Publications

A 66-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus and known gastroparesis presented to the emergency department with fatigue, confusion, and hypoglycemia. During hospitalization, he developed worsening abdominal pain and distention. CT revealed marked gastric distention, extensive portal venous gas, and mesenteric air, raising concern for emphysematous gastritis, gastric outlet obstruction, or volvulus. Despite these alarming radiographic findings, the patient remained hemodynamically stable, with no peritoneal signs. Surgical consultation was obtained; however, given his clinical stability and history of gastroparesis, conservative management was pursued. Treatment included nasogastric decompression, IV fluids, and prokinetic therapy with metoclopramide and erythromycin. Within 48 hours, the …

Colonisation, Globalisation And A Pandemic: Developing Understandings Of Inclusive Education In Malaysia, Vicky Bamsey, Yee Ling Lee, Moses Samuel

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

This is a theoretical paper that examines how colonisation, globalisation and a crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic have had a significant influence on the development of inclusive education policy and practice in Malaysia. Drawing on the ideas of dependency from Farid Alatas, and Carol Bacchi’s focus on the identification of the underlying problem within policies, as well as Stephen Ball’s policy cycle, we highlight how global events have repercussions at a policy level now and into the future. This paper contributes to the wider inclusive education debate through the innovative use of these three different theoretical lenses, informed by …

Albumin-Binding Domains In Therapeutic Protein Engineering: A Structural And Computational Perspective On Rational Design, Matthew Argyle, Dallin M. Chipman, Anna Claire Woolley, Bradley C. Bundy, Dennis Della Corte

Faculty Publications

Therapeutic proteins face a critical pharmacokinetic challenge: rapid clearance from circulation limits their clinical efficacy. Albumin-binding domains (ABDs) offer an elegant solution by enabling therapeutic proteins to “hitchhike” on serum albumin’s favorable 19-day half-life through FcRn-mediated recycling. Clinical validation through approved therapeutics like ozoralizumab demonstrates the success of this approach, with preclinical studies showing fusion to an ABD extended half-life to 18 days. This review provides an analysis of ABD-fusion protein design, integrating structural biology, computational prediction, and rational engineering principles. We catalog the major classes of albumin-binding modalities, including bacterial three-helix bundle domains, engineered peptides, antibody-derived binders, and alternative …

The Enduring Legacy Of Nuclear Tests: Barriers To Managing Type 2 Diabetes Among Marshallese Pacific Islanders In The United States, Bernard A. Muriithi

Occupational Therapy Faculty Scholarship

Introduction / Rationale: Nuclear tests conducted by the United States caused significant damage to the environment and traditional food sources in the Marshall Islands. The Marshall Islanders began to depend on imported processed food, but the change of diet resulted in significant increases in chronic diseases, in addition to cancers and birth defects associated with nuclear radiation. Since the 1986 Compact of Free Association, over 15,000 Marshallese have relocated to the United States, and the majority live in one U.S. state. This community of Marshallese has the highest prevalence rate for type 2 diabetes in the world.

Stocks And Shocks: Assessing The Relative Roles Of Public And Private Inventories In Buffering Rice Price Volatility In The Philippines, Bernhard Dalheimer, Kenneth Foster, Gerald E. Shively, Valerien O. Pede, Dela-Dem Doe Fiankor, Jacob Ricker-Gilbert, Pratibha Bist

Department of Agricultural Economics Faculty Publications

Public stockholding of food is politically contentious and economically challenging. Although private stocks are generally understood to be more efficient than public stocks at providing a reliable buffer against production shortfalls, private stocks often fail to stabilize prices during extreme food market shocks. Moreover, maintaining large public stock programs in which the government acts as the buyer or seller of last resort, can be very costly. This paper analyzes the recent historical success of public and private rice stocks in stabilizing domestic rice prices in the Philippines, the world’s largest net importer of rice. Relying on competitive storage theory and …

Music And Dance, Erica Buurman

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Vienna’s reputation as the ballroom dancing capital of Europe was already secured by the end of the eighteenth century and continues to this day. This chapter examines the rich history of dance in Vienna from the eighteenth century – the period of the first public ballrooms as well as the emergence of ballet as an independent art form – to the present day. It discusses Viennese ball culture and its iconic dance, the waltz, which is the part of Vienna’s history that has been most influential on wider dance culture, and originated the most recognizably and distinctively ‘Viennese’ musical style.

Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (Buv) Retrievals Of Mid-Stratospheric Aerosols From The 2022 Hunga Eruption, Robert J.D. Spurr, Matt Christi, Nickolay A. Krotkov, Won Ei Choi, Simon Carn, Can Li, Et Al.

Michigan Tech Publications

On 15 January 2022, a highly explosive eruption of the submarine Hunga volcano (Kingdom of Tonga) generated the largest stratospheric hydration event ever observed and the largest aerosol perturbation since the 1991 Pinatubo eruption. Here, we develop a novel method for satellite retrieval of stratospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD) and layer peak height (zp) using solar backscattered ultraviolet (BUV) radiation; this is made possible by the exceptional mid-stratospheric altitude of the Hunga aerosols. We analyze BUV observations of the Hunga stratospheric aerosol cloud on 17 January 2022 (47 h after the eruption), using BUV band 1 measurements from the TROPOspheric …

Insights Into The Influence Of The Greenland Ice Sheet On Oceanic Macronutrient Dynamics From Decades Of Historical Data, Xin Huang, Yuanyuan Gu, Hilde Oliver, Dustin Carroll, Thomas Juul-Pedersen, Lorenz Meire, Mark J. Hopwood

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Increasing freshwater discharge from the cryosphere has the potential to affect mechanisms that regulate the supply of macronutrients to primary producers in the ocean. Although numerous studies have characterized the biogeochemical effects of freshwater discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet within fjords, it is unclear to what extent these effects propagate offshore and whether or not seasonal macronutrient availability in Greenland's shelf seas has changed since annual freshwater discharge increased in the mid-1990s. Here, we collate and scrutinize extensive work undertaken over the past century to constrain macronutrient distributions in Greenland's coastal seas. From 1929 to 2022, over 38,000 publicly …

All Works

The swift evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled unprecedented capabilities across domains, while simultaneously introducing critical vulnerabilities that can be maliciously exploited or cause unintended harm. Although multiple initiatives aim to govern AI-related risks, a comprehensive and systematic understanding of how AI systems are actively misused in practice remains limited. This paper presents a systematic review of AI misuse across modern AI technologies. We analyze documented incidents, attack mechanisms, and emerging threat vectors, drawing from existing AI risk repositories, prior taxonomies, and empirical case reports. These sources are synthesized into a unified analytical framework that categorizes AI misuse across …

The Efficacy Of Rapid Counseling With Single-Session Music Therapy On Enhancing Emotion Regulation In Response To Activating Events, Aloysius Selo Aryobimo Oentarto

Buletin Konseling Inovatif

This study examines the efficacy of Rapid Counseling with Single-Session Music Therapy (RCSSMT) in enhancing emotion regulation in response to activating events. Many daily circumstances are uncontrollable, often leading individuals with negative thought patterns to experience distress and anxiety, known as activating events. Music therapy, as a holistic approach, acts as an emotion-focused coping strategy by calming physiological stress responses and preparing the individual for cognitive restructuring. This research employed a single-subject pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design, with the subject being SG, who had the lowest initial score on the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. The scores showed a gradual but significant …
