Profibrotic Behavior Of Fibroblasts Derived From Patients That Develop Posttraumatic Shoulder Stiffness, Benjamin A. Hendy, Jolanta Fertala, Thema Nicholson, Joseph A. Abboud, Surena Namdari, Andrzej Fertala

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Arthrofibrosis is a severe scarring condition characterized by joint stiffness and pain. Fundamental to developing arthrofibrotic scars is the accelerated production of procollagen I, a precursor of collagen I molecules that form fibrotic deposits in affected joints. The procollagen I production mechanism comprises numerous elements, including enzymes, protein chaperones, and growth factors. This study aimed to elucidate the differences in the production of vital elements of this mechanism in surgical patients who developed significant posttraumatic arthrofibrosis and those who did not.

METHODS: We studied a group of patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff. …

Turbulent Mixing Simulation Using The Hierarchical Parcel-Swapping (Hips) Model, Tommy Starick, Masoomeh Behrang, David O. Lignell, Heiko Schmidt, Alan R. Kerstein

Faculty Publications

Turbulent mixing is an omnipresent phenomenon that permanently affects our everyday life. Mixing processes also
plays an important role in many industrial applications. The full resolution of all relevant flow scales often poses a major challenge to the numerical simulation and requires a modeling of the small-scale effects. In transported Probability Density Function (PDF) methods, the simplified modeling of the molecular mixing is a known weak point. At this place, the Hierarchical Parcel-Swapping (HiPS) model developed by A.R. Kerstein [J. Stat. Phys. 153, 142-161 (2013)] represents a computationally efficient and novel turbulent mixing model. HiPS simulates the effects of turbulence …

Classical American Pragmatism As Antiscientism, Parysa Clare Mostajir

Researchers, Instructors, & Staff Scholarship

Scientism has recently experienced a resurgence of interest in philosophy. One version of scientism often defended is ontological scientism—the view that any kind or property not mentioned in the theories of science has only a subordinate, secondary kind of reality. It is worth noting that a dominant tradition in the history of philosophy of science—classical American pragmatism—undertook decades of critical engagement with contemporaneous scientistic beliefs, many of which resemble those being debated at the present time. This antiscientistic philosophy has multiple points of relevance for contemporary debates and defenses of ontological scientism.

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: War gaming and simulation can be divided into four levels of strategy、campaign、tactics and technique. Existing system combat simulation platforms of campaign and tactics at home and abroad cannot drive the special model of electromagnetic equipment in technique level, resulting in the low fidelity of battlefield complex electromagnetic environment simulation. To solve the problem, flexible analysis modeling and exercise system(FLAMES) model architecture as the reference, based on the simulation engine library of a discrete event system simulator(ADEVS), a flexible operation simulation platform(FOSim) is designed and developed, which integrates three levels of campaign, tactics and technology, supports three levels independence simulation …

Virtuous Dialogues: A Study On Wisdom And Quiet Ego In Church Settings, Jeffrey A. Dunkerley Ii

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

An individual’s ability to balance the identity of self with the identity of the other, Quiet Ego, consider situations from various perspectives (Reflective Wisdom) and reflect on emotional reactivity (Affective Wisdom) are influential components to engaging in dialogue. The context for dialogue within the United States is increasingly impacted by the backdrop of polarization and defensiveness, impacting one’s ability to develop and maintain the characteristics above. The Christian Church in the United States is not immune to the shifts in dialogue and are experiencing similar difficulties with dialogue seen in the broader society. Virtuous Dialogues is a training curriculum that …

Acute Systemic Infection-Associated Russell Body Gastroesophagitis: A Case Report And Literature Review, Elizaveta Flerova, Susan Inniss, Nneamaka Nwaoduah, Richard P. Denicola, Jialing Huang

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Faculty Papers

Russell body esophagitis/gastritis (RBG) is a rare gastrointestinal inflammatory condition characterized by accumulation of plasma cells containing dense eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions, i.e., Russell bodies. Herein, we report a case of RBG in a patient with a systemic inflammation background. A 61-year-old female presented with oral infection. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed patchy salmon-colored esophageal mucosa proximally to the gastroesophageal junction, suggestive of “Barrett’s esophagus”. Histologic examination of the biopsy tissue from the lower esophagus showed diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with abundant admixed enlarged plasma cells (Mott cells) containing bright eosinophilic, round, dense, homogenous inclusions (Russell bodies) in cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated membranous …

Quitting Smoking After A Cancer Diagnosis Is Associated With High-Risk Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte Ratio Among Tobacco Use-Related Cancer Survivors, You Lu, Katherine Kwong, James Wells, Andrea Edwards, Zhong Chen, Tung-Sung Tseng, Kun Zhang

School of Public Health Faculty Publications

Quitting smoking could potentially minimize the risk of a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) among tobacco use-related (TUR) cancer survivors. A total of 1263 TUR cancer survivors aged 20 to 85 years old were investigated using data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 1999-2018. The primary outcome was the NLR, which was defined as having two levels: high-risk (≥ 3) and low-risk (< 3). The association between smoking cessation time and a high-risk NLR level was analyzed using weighted logistic regression models. Overall, the current smoking rate of TUR cancer survivors was found to be 21.7%. Older age (75 years above), gender and respiratory-related cancers are covariables associated with high risk of NLR levels for individual who identified as Non-Hispanic White (NHW). Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) (n = 27) who quit smoking after a cancer diagnosis were associated with the highest risk of a high NLR (OR 4.83, 95% CI 1.40-16.61, p = 0.01) compared to NHB nonsmokers (n = 139). These findings suggest that the risk of a high NLR level is strongly associated with the time of smoking cessation in NHB TUR cancer survivors. As a result, NHB TUR cancer survivors should quit smoking as soon as possible because the benefits of quitting smoking were observed over the 5 year period following smoking cessation.

Sugars And Cuticular Waxes Impact Sugarcane Aphid (Melanaphis Sacchari) Colonization On Different Developmental Stages Of Sorghum, Juan David Betancurt Cardona, Sajjan Grover, Michael J. Bowman, Lucas Busta, Pritha Kundu, Kyle G. Koch, Gautam Sarath, Scott E. Sattler, Joe Louis

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Sugarcane aphid (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari) is a devastating pest of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) that colonizes sorghum plants at different growth stages. Leaf surface characteristics and sugars often influence aphid settling and feeding on host plants. However, how changes in cuticular waxes and sugar levels affect SCA establishment and feeding at different development stages of sorghum have not been explored. In this study, two- and six-weekold BTx623 plants, a reference line of sorghum, was used to evaluate plant-aphid interactions. Monitoring aphid feeding behavior using Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique revealed that aphids spent more time in the sieve …

Attention-Based Explainability Approaches In Healthcare Natural Language Processing, Haadia Amjad, Mohammad Ashraf, Syed Sherazi, Saad Khan, Muhammad Moazam Fraz, Tahir Hameed, Syed Ahmad Chan Bukhari

Management Faculty Publications

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming common for decision support. However, the prevalence of the black-box approach in developing AI systems has been raised as a significant concern. It becomes very crucial to understand how an AI system makes decisions, especially in healthcare, since it directly impacts human life. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) frequently use Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to extract information from textual data including Electronic Health Records (EHRs). In contrast to the prevalent black box approaches, emerging ’Explainability’ research has improved our comprehension of the decision-making processes in CDSS using EHR data. Many researches use ’attention’ …
