An Update In Adult Intraosseous Infusion, Wirot Sombatthavoankun

Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine

The Intraosseous (IO) needle was developed in 1920s to access the vascular system via the bone marrow cavity. Around the 2010s, there was widespread interest in IO after the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended that intraosseous access is an optional route when intravenous (IV) access cannot be obtained quickly. IO had a higher success rate (99.6%), was faster to perform (15-24 seconds), had a nearly equal flow rate (1-5L/hr), and had almost equal drug bioavailability to IV. The complication of IO becoming dislodged was 10-16%, needle dislocation was 0.8%, needle bending was 0.4% and parafusion (defined as fluid leakage at …

Role Of Digital Health In Fgids, A Mini Review, Navapan Issariyakulkarn

Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine

Treating functional GI disorders (FGIDs) caused by abnormal gut-brain interactions requires an understanding of individual GI pathophysiology as well as the patient’s behaviors. Many physicians frequently struggle to manage these patients due to a lack of knowledge regarding the patient’s pathophysiology and behaviors. Many digital tools for collecting and recording patients’ health information, which also include patient communication, are available to assist the physician in better understanding the patient. The purpose of this review is to assess how digital health can help FGIDs treatment and the interpretation of GI physiology testing.

Gender-Responsive Classification Of Women In Prison: A Typology Based On Mental Health Symptoms And Coping Strategies, Irina Fanarraga, Katarzyna Celinska

Publications and Research

Despite the increase in the incarceration rates of women, most correctional practices are still normed on male samples, including prison classification. Moreover, those classifications do not take into account women’s particular experiences, needs, and unique pathways to criminality. The current research proposes a typology based on female prisoners’ mental health symptoms and coping strategies. The data was derived from a survey conducted with 194 women housed in a Northeastern prison. A two-step clustering analysis was used to obtain three classification types—each with different symptomatology, coping mechanisms, demographic, and background characteristics. The results suggest that identifying and relying on needs-based typologies …

Effective Dispersal Patterns In Prairie Plant Species Across Human-Modified Landscapes., Elizabeth C. Hendrickson, Mitchell B. Cruzan

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Effective dispersal among plant populations is dependent on vector behaviour, landscape features and availability of adequate habitats. To capture landscape feature effects on dispersal, studies must be conducted at scales reflecting single-generation dispersal events (mesoscale). Many studies are conducted at large scales where genetic differentiation is due to dispersal occurring over multiple generations, making it difficult to interpret the effects of specific landscape features on vector behaviour. Genetic structure at the mesoscale may be determined by ecological and evolutionary processes, such as the consequences of vector behaviour on patterns of gene flow. We used chloroplast haplotypes and nuclear genome SNP …

Development And Structure Of Spinal Interneuron Connectivity In Larval Zebrafish, Saul Bello Rojas

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

In vertebrates, spinal interneurons are essential for the initiation and propagation of locomotor activity with each class of interneurons serving its own unique role. Ipsilateral interneurons function to control locomotor speed; whereas, commissural interneurons aid in left – right alternation. To date, most studies have been aimed at studying the impact of each individual class of interneurons onto motor neurons. However, not much work has revolved around studying interneuron – interneuron connectivity among the various cardinal classes. Furthermore, it remains unknown how the connectivity of interneurons changes along their entire axonal reach. This thesis aims to address the developmental patterns …

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Free Fatty Acid Receptor 4 (FFAR4), a G-protein-coupled receptor, is responsible for triggering intracellular signaling pathways that regulate various physiological processes. FFAR4 agonists are associated with enhancing insulin release and mitigating the atherogenic, obesogenic, pro-carcinogenic, and pro-diabetogenic effects, normally associated with the free fatty acids bound to FFAR4. In this research, molecular structure-based machine-learning techniques were employed to evaluate compounds as potential agonists for FFAR4. Molecular structures were encoded into bit arrays, serving as molecular fingerprints, which were subsequently analyzed using the Bayesian network algorithm to identify patterns for screening the data. The shortlisted hits obtained via machine learning protocols …

Myadm Binds Human Parechovirus 1 And Is Essential For Viral Entry, Wenjie Qiao, Christopher M Richards, Youlim Kim, James R Zengel, Siyuan Ding, Harry B Greenberg, Jan E Carette

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Human parechoviruses (PeV-A) are increasingly being recognized as a cause of infection in neonates and young infants, leading to a spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mild gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses to severe sepsis and meningitis. However, the host factors required for parechovirus entry and infection remain poorly characterized. Here, using genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screens, we identify myeloid-associated differentiation marker (MYADM) as a host factor essential for the entry of several human parechovirus genotypes including PeV-A1, PeV-A2 and PeV-A3. Genetic knockout of MYADM confers resistance to PeV-A infection in cell lines and in human gastrointestinal epithelial organoids. Using immunoprecipitation, we …

Ribosomal S6 Kinase 2-Forkhead Box Protein O4 Signaling Pathway Plays An Essential Role In Melanogenesis, Dohyun Jeung, Ga-Eun Lee, Weidong Chen, Jiin Byun, Soo-Bin Nam, You-Min Park, Hye Suk Lee, Han Chang Kang, Joo Young Lee, Dae Joon Kim

School of Medicine Publications

Although previous studies have examined the signaling pathway involved in melanogenesis through which ultraviolet (UV) or α-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α-MSH) stimuli act as key inducers to produce melanin at the stratum basal layer of the epidermis, the signaling pathway regulating melanogenesis is still controversial. This study reports that α-MSH, not UVA and UVB, acted as a major stimulus of melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Signaling pathway analysis using gene knockdown technology and chemical inhibitors, the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (RSK2) played an important role in melanogenesis. Unexpectedly, LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, increased melanogenesis …

The Swi/Snf Atp-Dependent Chromatin Remodeling Complex In Cell Lineage Priming And Early Development, Dhurjhoti Saha, Srinivas Animireddy, Blaine Bartholomew

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

ATP dependent chromatin remodelers have pivotal roles in transcription, DNA replication and repair, and maintaining genome integrity. SWI/SNF remodelers were first discovered in yeast genetic screens for factors involved in mating type switching or for using alternative energy sources therefore termed SWI/SNF complex (short for SWItch/Sucrose NonFermentable). The SWI/SNF complexes utilize energy from ATP hydrolysis to disrupt histone-DNA interactions and shift, eject, or reposition nucleosomes making the underlying DNA more accessible to specific transcription factors and other regulatory proteins. In development, SWI/SNF orchestrates the precise activation and repression of genes at different stages, safe guards the formation of specific cell …
