Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) presents a major clinical challenge in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), requiring lower extremity revascularization (LER) to mitigate adverse cardiovascular and limb outcomes. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) has been implicated in cardiovascular risk, but its role in patients with T2DM and CLTI undergoing revascularization remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of Lp(a) levels in diabetic CLTI patients for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), major adverse limb events (MALE), or both after LER.

METHODS: In this prospective cohort study of 158 individuals with T2DM and CLTI undergoing LER, baseline clinical data …

Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are intestinal parasites that affect over a billion people worldwide. STH control relies on microscopy-based diagnostics to monitor parasite prevalence and enable post-treatment surveillance; however, molecular diagnostics are rapidly being developed due to increased sensitivity, particularly in low-STH-prevalence settings. The genetic diversity of helminths and its potential impact on molecular diagnostics remain unclear. Using low-coverage genome sequencing, we assess the genetics of STHs within worm, faecal, and purified egg samples from 27 countries, identifying differences in the genetic connectivity and diversity of STH-positive samples across regions and cryptic diversity between closely related human- and pig-infective species. We …

Background

Summer vacation is a time when youth gain excessive weight. A key driver of unhealthy weight gain is poor dietary quality. The absence of consistent structure (e.g., school), is hypothesized to be one of the reasons for lower diet quality during summer. This study examined differences in school and summer dietary quality among a diverse cohort of children across three years. We also examined the impact of attending structured programs on children’s diets.

Methods

Parents of 1,032 children (age 5–14 years, 48% girls) completed a time use diary each day for 14-days during school (April/May) and again in summer …

Multiple Molecular Diagnoses Identified Through Genome Sequencing In Individuals With Suspected Rare Disease, Jorge Perez

All Publications

Genome sequencing is a powerful and comprehensive test that detects multiple variants of different types. The interrogation of variants across the genome enables the identification of multiple molecular diagnoses (MMDs) in a single individual. In this retrospective study, we describe individuals in whom MMDs were associated with the proband's indication for testing (IFT), secondary findings, or incidental findings. An MMD is considered where at least one of the findings is associated with the primary IFT and all variants are classified as either likely pathogenic or pathogenic. Clinical genome sequencing was performed for all individuals as part of the iHope program …

In The Shadow Of Prompts: Adversarial Attacks And Model Cloning In Large Language Models, Kanchon Gharami

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

Large-language models (LLMs) already power mission critical tasks such as command-and-control chat, satellite ground-station automation, military analytics, and cyber-defense. Since most of these services are offered through application programming interfaces (APIs) that still expose full or top-k logits and lack mature safeguards, they present a serious, often overlooked attack surface. Earlier work has shown how to rebuild the output projection layer or distill surface behavior, but no attack has produced a deployable clone within a tight query budget. In this thesis, we address this problem by presenting a practical pipeline for cloning LLMs under constrained settings. The approach first estimates …

The BCG vaccine has been used against tuberculosis (TB) for over a hundred years; however, it does not protect adults from pulmonary TB. To develop alternative vaccines against TB, we generated Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb)-derived vaccine strains by rationally deleting key virulent genes, resulting in single (SKO; ΔfbpA), double (DKO; ΔfbpA-ΔsapM), triple (TKO-D; ΔfbpA-ΔsapM-ΔdosR and TKO-Z; ΔfbpA-ΔsapM-Δzmp1), and quadruple (QKO; ΔfbpA-ΔsapM-Δzmp1-dosR) strains. To understand how macrophages, the host cells that defend against infection and process antigens for presentation to immune cells, respond to these vaccine strains, we performed transcriptomic analyses of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages …
