Retrospective Analysis Of The Clinical Utility Of Multi-Cytokine Profiles In Smear-Negative Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Xuemei Li, Weidong Zhao, Hong Han, Zhi Yang, Fengqing Bi, Yingchun He Jul 2024

Retrospective Analysis Of The Clinical Utility Of Multi-Cytokine Profiles In Smear-Negative Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Xuemei Li, Weidong Zhao, Hong Han, Zhi Yang, Fengqing Bi, Yingchun He

Saudi Medical Journal

Objectives: To evaluate cytokine profiles and interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) for their diagnostic capabilities in the differentiation of tuberculosis (TB) from non-TB conditions, as well as smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis (SNPT) from smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (SPPT). Methods: A total of 125 participants were included, 77 of whom had TB and 48 who didn’t, and demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected, including cytokine levels and IGRA results. The TB patients were further divided into 2 subgroups: SNPT (n=42) and SPPT (n=35). Results: Compared to non-TB, the TB group had lower BMI, higher WBC, neutrophils, monocytes, ESR and CRP ( p <0.05). TB patients showed higher IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-8 ( p <0.001) and higher IGRA positivity (88.3% versus [vs.] 29.2%, p <0.001). Between SNPT and SPPT, moderate effect sizes were observed for IFN-α, IL-2, IL-10, IL-8 (Cohen’s d 0.59-0.76), with lower IGRA positivity in SNPT (81.0% vs. 97.1%, p =0.015). ROC analysis indicated IFN-α, IL-2, IL-10, IL-8 had moderate accuracy for SNPT diagnosis (AUCs 0.668-0.734), and combining these improved accuracy (AUC 0.759, 80% sensitivity, 64.2% specificity). Conclusion: A multi-biomarker approach combining these cytokines demonstrates enhanced diagnostic accuracy for tuberculosis.

Differentiated Instruction In Geometry Using Low Floor, High Ceiling Mathematical Tasks, Franklin R. Falculan, Maria Alva Q. Aberin Jul 2024

Differentiated Instruction In Geometry Using Low Floor, High Ceiling Mathematical Tasks, Franklin R. Falculan, Maria Alva Q. Aberin

Mathematics Faculty Publications

This study investigated the effects of using Low Floor High Ceiling (LFHC) mathematical tasks on students’ conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in seventh-grade Geometry by closely examining pre-test and posttest results. Two intact classes composed of thirty-two grade 7 students in each class participated in the study. The control group was taught and had practice using conventional, algorithmic tasks while the experimental group was taught and had practice using LFHC mathematical tasks. Data analysis revealed that, as compared to students exposed to algorithmic problems, students exposed to LFHC activities were much more mathematically proficient in Geometry, at the very least …

From Tradition To Innovation: The Incorporation Trumpet In Borborbor Dance Of The Ewe People, Divine Gbagbo, John Doe Dordzro Jul 2024

From Tradition To Innovation: The Incorporation Trumpet In Borborbor Dance Of The Ewe People, Divine Gbagbo, John Doe Dordzro

Music Faculty Works

This article explores the emergence and evolution of bɔbɔɔbɔ (borborbor), a distinctive Ewe dance that originated in mid 20th century British Togoland (now the Volta Region of Ghana) and French Togoland (now Togo). Initially rooted in traditional kokomba dance forms, particularly tuidzi and akpese, bɔbɔɔbɔ rapidly integrated European military brass band instruments, notably the bugle and later the trumpet, influenced by the burgeoning popular music genre of highlife in Ghana. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Ewe communities in Ghana, this paper examines the transformative role of the trumpet within bɔbɔɔbɔ ensembles. It investigates how the trumpet’s adoption led to …

Religious And Spiritual Communities Must Adapt Or Die: Surviving And Thriving During Challenging Contemporary Times, Thomas G. Plante Jul 2024

Religious And Spiritual Communities Must Adapt Or Die: Surviving And Thriving During Challenging Contemporary Times, Thomas G. Plante

Psychology

Current trends within both religious and secular communities suggest that contemporary times mean that people spend more time alone than with others. Community engagement in general has been declining, while religious and spiritual community engagement in particular has dropped off significantly in recent decades, and most especially following the COVID-19 global pandemic. Although humans are social beings and benefit from community engagement, we tend to avoid or minimize our affiliations and associations, including our religious and spiritual ones today. Religious and spiritual communities must adapt to changing times or risk becoming irrelevant, diminishing further, and losing their sustainability to continue …


Barreling Down On Ergonomics To Improve Occupational Functioning: Exploration Of An Ergonomic Program To Decrease Occupational Deficits & Musculoskeletal Disorders For Brewers, Clara Jayne Davenport Jul 2024

Barreling Down On Ergonomics To Improve Occupational Functioning: Exploration Of An Ergonomic Program To Decrease Occupational Deficits & Musculoskeletal Disorders For Brewers, Clara Jayne Davenport

OTD DEx Reports - College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

"Ergonomics is an important consideration for all workspaces due to its impact on the productivity and health of employees. Poor ergonomics can lead to the development of musculoskeletal disorders which have detrimental effects on long-term physical and mental health. These factors influence the workplace but also impact the daily occupations of employees outside of work and may affect their quality of life. Based on the literature, ergonomic programs have been found to be an effective form of improving body mechanics and environmental factors to improve productivity and health in the workplace. An online ergonomic program was developed for brewers employed …

Exploring Burnout Program Effectiveness With Adult Day Health Providers, Katy R. Maguire

OTD DEx Reports - College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

"Stress and burnout are frequently experienced by those in healthcare professions. While extensive research has been done on the impact of stress and burnout on nurses and physicians, other healthcare fields are less researched. One of these populations of health providers excluded from current studies is adult day health providers. Health providers at adult day health centers provide specialized services to persons with acquired, developmental, and intellectual disabilities. They orient these individuals to the community, administer their medications, provide opportunities for socialization and learning, accommodate leisure activities, and many other services that promote community and personal independence for their clients. …


Implementing A Sensory-Friendly Adaptive Aquatics Program At The Springfield Jewish Community Center For Children With Intellectual And/Or Developmental Disabilities, Michelle Kennedy Jul 2024

Implementing A Sensory-Friendly Adaptive Aquatics Program At The Springfield Jewish Community Center For Children With Intellectual And/Or Developmental Disabilities, Michelle Kennedy

OTD DEx Reports - College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

"Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) can present with impairments in the areas of physical development, learning, language, sensory processing, and behavior. These impairments can lead to difficulties with daily life activities and participating in other meaningful occupations such as play, education, and social participation. Occupational therapy can aid in decreasing the impact of these challenges using several different approaches. Aquatic therapy is one approach that benefits children with I/DD. This is due to the physical properties of the water that create a supportive physical and sensory environment for an individual and their needs (Brokaw, 2022). The aquatic environment’s …


Preventing Wounded Warriors: Addressing Gaps In Education Of Joint Protection Strategies For The Rotc, Joseph Rodriguez Jul 2024

Preventing Wounded Warriors: Addressing Gaps In Education Of Joint Protection Strategies For The Rotc, Joseph Rodriguez

OTD DEx Reports - College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

"In the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), injury during the first 9-weeks of training has the highest risk for injury (Sefton et al, 2016; Radzak et al, 2020; Wooldridge et al, 2022). Most injuries are musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) and occur most of the time within the joint or supporting structures (Chiaramonte, 2019; Radzak et al, 2020). The cadets often do not fully understand the consequences to occupational domains from injuries, and fewer than half are confident to prevent injury (Wooldridge et al, 2022). Education of ergonomics in cadet-specific domains and non-specific domains is a barrier to cadets being independent of …
