Rare Pediatric Venolymphatic Malformations: Pericardial Cyst Mimickers, Neil Cambronero, David Brennen, Thomas M Glenn, Betul Yilmaz Furtun

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Pericardial cystic masses are rare, and exceedingly so in pediatrics. The clinical course of such masses in children is poorly described.

Case summary: We report 2 cases in 3- and 7-year-old children. Both were initially thought to represent pericardial cysts on imaging, but surgical excision and histopathology confirmed diagnoses of a venolymphatic malformation and an epicardial cyst, respectively. The first patient presented with abdominal pain, and the second patient was asymptomatic. Both recovered well after an uncomplicated surgical intervention.

Discussion: A small number of patients with pericardial masses will have symptoms thought to be related to compression of adjacent …

Unraveling The Nanoscopic Characteristics Of The Heterogeneous Deep Eutectic Solvent Formed By Lauric Acid And N-Methylacetamide: An Experimental And Computational Approach, Laura X. Sepulveda

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are attractive systems for extraction and separation of compounds. One example of this is the DES formed by the combination of lauric acid (LA) and N-methylacetamide (NMA), system that has been shown to efficiently separate oil/water mixtures through gel formation between LA and oil molecules. Structural characterization of this system using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and vibrational spectroscopy revealed the existence of nanometer-scale LA domains embedded in a continuous polar NMA phase, where LA and NMA interact through hydrogen bonding. These LA domains are responsible for the separation efficiency of linear organic molecules. However, this DES …

The Relationship Between Selfie Engagement On Social Media And Cosmetic Surgery Consideration Among Youth In China, Wang Haoyue

Student Works (2020-2029)

The surge in cosmetic surgery consideration among Chinese youth is a complex phenomenon increasingly linked to social media and selfie culture. While prior research has established a general link between media exposure and cosmetic surgery interest, the specific psychological mechanisms and the role of user demographics remain poorly understood. Grounded in social comparison theory and media literacy theory, this study proposes a conceptual model to investigate how media literacy, namely perceived realism, perceived similarity, and identification, influences cosmetic surgery consideration, both directly and indirectly through the mechanism of social comparison. Furthermore, the model examines the moderating effects of key demographic …

Terrestrial Abiotic Synthesis Of Simple Precursor Molecules Starting From Two Approaches: The Universality Of Carbon Reduction, Eloi Camprubi, Ben K.D. Pearce, Martina Preiner

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences Faculty Publications

To address the chemistry responsible for life’s emergence, we examine the simple chemicals accessible on early Earth and the processes that could have transformed them. We focus on carbon reduction as a process central to the direct precursors of life. Two main approaches for the emergence of life’s building blocks and their associated functions are discussed. One approach investigates chemical routes for forming life’s building blocks via processes that worked differently from those of extant life, referred to as “unrestricted” prebiotic chemistries. The other approach establishes a direct mechanistic connection between prebiotic building blocks and extant biochemistry, referred to as …

Proteomic Evidence Indicates Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction Enhances Recovery Of Membrane-Associated Proteins In Hericium Erinaceus, Tanvir Ahmed, Angéla Juhász, Utpal Bose, Netsanet Shiferaw Terefe, Michelle L. Colgrave

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Membrane-associated fungal proteins mediate essential functions and contain bioactive proteins with therapeutic potential but are underrepresented in aqueous extracts due to hydrophobicity and lipid associations. Ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction was applied to Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), and the proteins were fractionated by molecular weight (≥30 kDa, 10–30 kDa, 3–10 kDa). Proteomic profiling using data-dependent (DDA) and data-independent (DIA) mass spectrometry identified 1500 and 1702 proteins, respectively (1% global FDR). Ultrasonication induced surface irregularity and a less compact, heterogeneous microstructure. Topology predictions showed higher proportions of transmembrane and secretory proteins in ultrasonicated fractions. Extraction preserved protein integrity (82% molecular-weight retention, 97% tryptic …

The Effect Of Hunger On The Likelihood Of Glucose Excursions In Adults With Overweight Or Obesity: Continuous Glucose Monitoring And Ecological Momentary Assessment Observational Study, Jacob Szeszulski, Alexandra L Macmillan Uribe, Rebecca A Seguin-Fowler, Jane Anderson, Chad D Rethorst

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Maintaining stable glucose levels is important for metabolic health. Glucose excursions (GEs), which are marked increases in glucose following food intake, have been associated with a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction. Individuals with overweight or obesity who do not have diabetes may still show impaired glucose regulation, as reflected in increased glucose variability. Hunger, as a real-time physiological cue, may be associated with subsequent glucose changes and represents a potential target for just-in-time adaptive interventions.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the temporal relationship between self-reported hunger and subsequent glucose dynamics, including the likelihood of GE …

The Characterization and Radiometric Calibration for Remote Sensing Annual Meeting (CALCON)

The NASA Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project provides globally observed fluxes and clouds to monitor the Earth’s energy imbalance and to validate climate model energetics. The CERES data products consist of overlapping Terra, Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA-20 CERES instrument records. The CERES SSF1deg single satellite products utilize MODIS and VIIRS cloud properties for scene identification to convert the CERES observed radiances into fluxes using angular directional models. Consistent MODIS and VIIRS cloud properties are crucial to retrieve uniform CERES fluxes across satellite platforms.

The NASA CERES project is preparing for the Edition 5 reprocessing of the …

Applicability Of Lunar Thermophysical Models For Vicarious Calibration Of High-Temperature Thermal Infrared Sensors, Christian Molliere, Thomas Muller, Kay Wohlfarth, Marc Seifert, Joris Blommaert, Dirk Nuyts, Allison Merritt, Julia Gottfriedsen

The Characterization and Radiometric Calibration for Remote Sensing Annual Meeting (CALCON)

Wildfire detection and characterization from space critically depend on accurate thermal infrared measurements across a wide dynamic range. OroraTech’s SAFIRE payloads feature MWIR and LWIR bands optimized for this purpose, yet the volume and power constraints of many CubeSat platforms preclude the use of onboard calibration sources. This reflects a broader limitation of current Earth observation systems: the absence of robust calibration and validation methodologies at high brightness temperatures relevant to active fires.

We evaluate the potential of using thermophysical models (TPM) of the lunar surface as a vicarious calibration reference for calibration transfer between instruments. The Moon reaches surface …
