Relation Of Linguistic Awareness Skills To Reading And Spelling For Autistic And Non-Autistic Elementary School–Age Children, Victoria Henbest

Victoria S. Henbest Publications

For non-autistic children, it is well established that linguistic awareness skills support their success with reading and spelling. Few investigations have examined whether these same linguistic awareness skills play a role in literacy development for autistic elementary school–age children. This study serves as a first step in quantifying the phonological, prosodic, orthographic, and morphological awareness skills of autistic children; how these skills compare to those of non-autistic children; and their relation to literacy performance.We measured and compared the phonological, prosodic, orthographic, and morphological awareness skills of 18 autistic (with average nonverbal IQs) and 18 non-autistic elementary school–age children, matched in …

Aspect-Ratio-Dependent Heat Transport By Baroclinic Acoustic Streaming, Jacques Abdul Massih, Remil Mushthaq, Guillaume Michel, Gregory P. Chini

Faculty Publications

Standing acoustic waves have been known to generate Eulerian time-mean ‘streaming’ flows at least since the seminal investigation of Lord Rayleigh in the 1880s. Nevertheless, a recent body of numerical and experimental evidence has shown that inhomogeneities in the ambient density distribution lead to much faster flows than arise in classical Rayleigh streaming. The emergence of these unusually strong flows creates new opportunities to enhance heat transfer in systems in which convective cooling cannot otherwise be easily achieved. To assess this possibility, a theoretical study of acoustic streaming in an ideal gas confined in a rectangular channel with top and …

Il-7rα On Cd4+ T Cells Is Required For Their Survival And The Pathogenesis Of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis, Gholamreza Azizi, Bram Van Den Broek, Larissa Ishikawa, Hamed Naziri, Reza Yazdani, Guang-Xian Zhang, Bogoljub Ciric, Mohamad Rostami

Department of Neurology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: The IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Rα) binds both IL-7 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). IL-7Rα is essential for the development and survival of naive CD4+ T cells and their differentiation to effector/memory CD4+ T cells. Mice lacking IL-7Rα have severe lymphopenia and are resistant to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model for multiple sclerosis. However, it has been reported that IL-7Rα on peripheral CD4+ T cells is disposable for their maintenance and EAE pathogenesis, which does not align with the body of knowledge on the role of IL-7Rα in the biology of CD4+ T cells. Given that a definitive study …

Rapid Unleashing Macrophage Efferocytic Capacity By Transcriptional Pause Release, Turan Tufan

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

During development, inflammation or tissue injury, macrophages engulf multiple apoptotic cells via efferocytosis to maintain tissue homeostasis. The mechanism by which macrophages rapidly adapt their transcription for continuous corpse uptake is not well understood. Transcriptional pause/release is a conserved mechanism, in which RNA polymerase (Pol) II initiates transcription for 20-60 nucleotides, is paused for minutes to hours and is then released to the elongation phase. We show that macrophages quickly use Pol II pause/release upon encountering corpses to trigger a rapid transcriptional response. This mechanism is essential for continuous efferocytosis but does not affect other forms of phagocytosis. Genomic data …

The Role Of Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells In Restoring Lung Health And Chitinase Function After Epithelial Injury, Haerin Jung

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Alveolar epithelial cells provide oxygen transport and act as a first line of defense against pathogens and environmental triggers that disturb tissue homeostasis. However, in the context of epithelial injury, fibrotic and inflammatory lung diseases develop where regenerative responses may become dysregulated or recurrently engaged. One cause of lung injury is infection with cytopathic respiratory viruses such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses, which induce lung inflammation, tissue damage, and epithelial cell injury and loss. Restoration of barrier integrity after lung injury is critical for re-establishing healthy lung function but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In the steady state, lung epithelial …

Ct Strain Metrics Allow For Earlier Diagnosis Of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome After Hematopoietic Cell Transplant, Husham Sharifi, Christopher D Bertini, Mansour Alkhunaizi, Maria Hernandez, Zayan Musa, Ihsan Turk, Burton F Dickey, Guang-Shing Cheng, Gregory Yanik, Craig J Galban, Huawei Henry Guo, Myrna C B Godoy, Joseph M Reinhardt, Eric A Hoffman, Mario Castro, Gabriela Rondon, Amin M Alousi, Richard E Champlin, Elizabeth J Shpall, Ying Lu, Samuel Peterson, Keshav Datta, Mark R Nicolls, Joe Hsu, Ajay Sheshadri

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Quantitative computed tomography (qCT) can help diagnose advanced BOS meeting National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria (NIH-BOS) but has not been used to diagnose early, often asymptomatic BOS (early BOS), limiting the potential for early intervention and improved outcomes. Using pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to define NIH-BOS, early BOS, and mixed BOS (NIH-BOS with restrictive lung disease) in patients from 2 large cancer centers, we applied qCT to identify early BOS and distinguish between types of BOS. Patients with transient impairment or healthy lungs …

Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1Α Inhibition In Renal Cell Carcinoma, Kinsey Morey, Santosh Nimkar, Samir Dalia

Student Publications

The tumorigenesis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), an aggressive variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), is primarily attributable to the mutational inactivation of the Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) gene. This mutation causes VHL syndrome, which is associated with tumor growth in various body parts, including the brain, spinal cord, eyes, adrenal glands, pancreas, kidney, and reproductive tract. RCC is the leading cause of death in patients with VHL syndrome. The VHL gene acts as a tumor suppressor that prevents the proliferation of various oncogenes by controlling the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). The HIF pathway is directly linked to the control …

Under Pressure: Employee Work Stress, Supervisory Mentoring Support, And Employee Career Success, Berrin Erdogan, Selin Kudret, Emily D. Campion, Talya N. Bauer, Julie Mccarthy, Bonnie Hayden Cheng

Business Faculty Publications and Presentations

Despite consistent findings that stressed employees benefit from social support, these employees do not always have access to such support. We propose and test a conceptual model suggesting employee work stress will negatively affect supervisory career and psychosocial mentoring support. Drawing from social exchange theory, we predict this will indirectly affect employee career success (lower career satisfaction and promotability ratings, fewer promotions), and that the relationship between employee work stress and lower supervisory mentoring support can be explained by lower levels of work engagement experienced by, and attributed to, stressed employees. We tested our model across three studies. In Study …

Ceo Compensation, Financial Performance, And Donor Contributions In Nonprofit Hospitals, Caprina Poindexter Beal

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Excessive chief executive offer (CEO) benefits in nonprofit health care organizations can raise ethical concerns when donor funds are diverted from mission-driven programs, potentially diminishing trust among donors and the community. Business leaders need to understand that CEO compensation is a leading indicator of donor investment. Grounded in agency theory, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between CEO compensation, firm performance, and donor contributions. Participants in the study consisted of 110 nonprofit acute care hospitals located in the Southeastern United States. Data were collected from the American Hospital Association’s Annual Survey, National Center for …

Hepatic Targets To Control Blood Glucose And Potentially Aid In The Treatment Of Diabetes, Rena A. Velissarios

PANDION: The Osprey Journal of Research and Ideas

Maintaining glucose homeostasis is extremely important to remain in good health and prevent disease. This homeostasis is achieved via the regulation of hepatic metabolic pathways like gluconeogenesis and glycogenesis by insulin, which is expressed during high blood glucose. Insulin is responsible for facilitating the uptake of glucose into other tissues from the blood, as well as signaling whether to stimulate or slow glucose metabolism in the liver. Hyperglycemia is one of the main effects of diabetes, a disease characterized by the body’s inability to produce or respond to insulin. Without insulin, hepatic glucose output continues and blood glucose accumulates, causing …

The Short Allele Of The Serotonin Transporter Gene (Slc6a4) Increases Predisposition To Anxiety And Negative Emotional States, Gabriella Hitti

PANDION: The Osprey Journal of Research and Ideas

Mental disorders, such as anxiety and mood disorders, have long been a focus of psychological research, and increasing evidence points to a genetic basis for their occurrence. Polymorphisms of the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene (SLC6A4) may predispose an individual to anxiety-related symptoms. SLC6A4 has two common alleles: the short (s) allele, which results in less 5-HTT protein production, and the long (l) allele, which results in more 5-HTT. Integrated findings from psychometric evaluations, behavioral animal models, and biological assessments establish a link between the s allele of SLC6A4 and heightened anxiety phenotypes. The allele’s influence on serotonin levels and brain …

How Can Researchers Be Influenced To Comply With Guidelines Of Research Data Management?, Rowena Van Houwelingen, Guido Ongena, Pascal Ravesteyn

Communications of the IIMA

How come Open Science is a well-shared vision among research communities, while the prerequisite practice of research data management (RDM) is lagging? This research sheds light on RDM adoption in the Dutch context of universities of applied sciences, by studying influencing technological, organizational, and environmental factors using the TOE-framework. A survey was sent out to researchers of universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands. The analyses thereof showed no significant relation between the influencing factors and the intention to comply with the RDM guidelines (p-value of ≤ .10 and a 90% confidence level). Results did show a significant influence of …

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Papillary fibroelastoma of the heart is an uncommon benign tumor that usually originates on the heart's valve structures. Instances of nonvalvular papillary fibroelastomas are exceptionally scarce. In this Case Presentation we reported a 46- year old woman presented with positional vertigo and exertional dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mobile oval shape mass in left ventricle at the site of antrolateral papillary muscle and According to Cardiac magnetic resonance a benign avascular intracavity left ventricle mass is noted highly suggestive for a large papillary fibroelastoma. The tumor was completely resected and the pathological diagnosis was papillary fibroelastoma.
