An Open-Label Study To Determine The Maximum Tolerated Dose Of Oral Esk-440 Administered As A Single Agent In Patients With Advanced Or Metastatic Solid Tumors, Russell J. Schilder, Drew Rasco, Manish R. Sharma

Kimmel Cancer Center Faculty Papers

PURPOSE: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) dysregulation is implicated in numerous cancers. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting ALK have improved disease outcomes, but resistance mechanisms are common. This first-in-human trial evaluates ESK-440, a dual inhibitor of ALK and focal adhesion kinase, as a novel strategy for cancers with resistance to ALK-targeting TKIs.

METHODS: This phase 1, open-label, dose-finding study evaluated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of ESK-440 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01922752). A 3 + 3 dose-escalation design, with daily doses ranging from 25 to 700 mg/day of ESK-440 for each 28-day …

Doing More, Doing Better? A Critique Of The Criminalization Of Coercive Control, Janet Mosher, Shushanna Harris, Jennifer Koshan, Wanda Wiegers

Journal of Law and Social Policy

Canada stands on the verge of ushering in a new criminal offence related to coercive control in the context of intimate relationships. In this paper we critically evaluate this development, drawing out lessons from past criminalization efforts and in particular, their impact on Black women and their communities. Our analysis raises significant questions about the potential of the proposed offence to deliver on the promises held out by its proponents. We argue that not only will these promises go largely unrealized, but the ongoing harms of criminalization–harms that manifest not only in the criminal law sphere but in child welfare …

The Impact Of Modern Band Experiences On Pre-Service Music Teachers’ Creative Identity: A Pre–Post Assessment, Tiao Xie, Clint Randles

Music Education Faculty Publications

This study explored the impact of a fifteen-week course in modern band practice on developing music teachers’ identities as creative music-makers. Modern band is a growing area of the research literature in music education. Composition, improvisation and popular music-making experiences constitute current band activity. The creative identity measure (CIM-measure) evaluates self-perceptions of abilities in these areas. The measure has been used and adopted in various research studies over the past decade. For this study, twelve pre-service music teachers enrolled in the course ‘Creative Performance Chamber Ensemble I’ at School of Music, University of South Florida, USA were assessed on their …

Canada recently stood on the verge of ushering in a new criminal offence related to coercive control in the context of intimate relationships. In this paper, we critically evaluate this development, drawing out lessons from past criminalization efforts (particularly their impact on Black women and communities). Our analysis raises significant questions about the potential of the proposed offence to deliver on the promises held out by politicians and frontline advocates. We argue that not only will these promises go largely unrealized, but the ongoing harms of criminalization will be intensified. Marginalized women and communities are the least likely to benefit, …

Single Amino Acid Changes Impact The Ability Of Drosophila Melanogaster Cecropins To Inhibit Growth Of Providencia Pathogens, Sarah Smith, Marla Forfar, Christopher Feudale, Lauren Shaffer, Grace Ginder, Marion Duval, Quinn Smith, Moria C. Chambers

Faculty Journal Articles

As antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread worldwide, the need to develop novel antimicrobial agents is urgent. One rich source of potential antimicrobials is the insect immune system, as insects produce a wide range of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with diverse sequences and structures. Insects also encounter many bacterial pathogens, some of which are closely related to pathogens of clinical relevance. However, despite interest in AMPs as therapeutics, the relationships between the amino acid sequence, biophysical properties, antimicrobial activity, and specificity are still not generalizable. To improve our understanding of these relationships, we assessed how single amino acid changes in cecropin AMPs produced by …

Snap Participation As A Moderator Of Food And Nutrition Security And Combined Cardiometabolic Conditions: A Mixed Regression Approach, Eric E Calloway

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Objectives: To examine the relationships between food security, nutrition security, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation, and cardiometabolic outcomes, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes, among low-income U.S. individuals.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 486 participants (April–June 2021) assessed food and nutrition security and cardiometabolic outcomes. Mixed-effects logistic regression models adjusted for covariates and included a random effect for state of residence. Moderation analyses evaluated SNAP participation’s impact.

Results: Very low food security was associated with higher odds of having at least one cardiometabolic condition, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes (AOR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.04–3.69; p = 0.04). SNAP …

Distributed Cross-Learning For Equitable Federated Models – Privacy-Preserving Prediction On Data From Five California Hospitals, Lucila Ohno-Machado

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Quality improvement, clinical research, and patient care can be supported by medical predictive analytics. Predictive models can be improved by integrating more patient records from different healthcare centers (horizontal) or integrating parts of information of a patient from different centers (vertical). We introduce Distributed Cross-Learning for Equitable Federated models (D-CLEF), which incorporates horizontally- or vertically-partitioned data without disseminating patient-level records, to protect patients' privacy. We compared D-CLEF with centralized/siloed/federated learning in horizontal or vertical scenarios. Using data of more than 15,000 patients with COVID-19 from five University of California (UC) Health medical centers, surgical data from UC San Diego, and …

Socioeconomic Determinants Of Health And Well-Being In A Low Resource Setting: A Case Of Older Adults Living In A Rural Setting In Northwestern Cambodia, Kakada Kuy

Brown School Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation examines the associations between socioeconomic factors, and physical and psychological well-being among older adults in Cambodia. Focusing on subjective and objective socioeconomic status (SES) and the mediating roles of social and welfare support, this dissertation consists of three interrelated chapters that address different facets of the relationships. Paper 1 (Chapter 2) investigates the demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, and social support structures among older Cambodians. Findings reveal significant gender and age disparities, with women and the oldest adults more likely to experience lower socioeconomic status and weaker social support. Paper 2 (Chapter 3) explores the associations between subjective and …

Vasa Previa: Prenatal Diagnosis And The Rationale Behind Using A 5 Cm Distance From Internal Os, Yinka Oyelese

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

In pregnancies with vasa previa, prenatal diagnosis and pre-labor cesarean delivery are associated with significantly improved perinatal outcomes compared to undetected cases. However, a universally accepted ultrasonographic definition of vasa previa is lacking. Specifically, the distance from the cervical internal os beyond which vaginal delivery can be safely recommended remains to be determined. Field experts and recently published societal guidelines agree that a 2 cm cut-off is suboptimal, given that complete cervical dilation during labor risks unprotected fetal vessels within a 5 cm radius from the internal os. Thus, in the setting of a scarcity of evidence and case reports …
