Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: Evaluating Postoperative Rehabilitation Progress And Return To Sport Readiness, Trevor A. Day
Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: Evaluating Postoperative Rehabilitation Progress And Return To Sport Readiness, Trevor A. Day
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common cause of non-arthritic hip pain and reduced physical activity in active young adults. It is defined as a motion-related disorder of the hip with a triad of symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging findings that represents symptomatic premature contact between the proximal femur and the acetabulum. There are two anatomical morphologies that can cause FAIS, cam, and pincer, and is a challenging clinical pathology. Patients typically undergo hip arthroscopy to repair damage to the joint and recess the bone causing the impingement. These procedures can result in positive outcomes for the patient, like reduced …
Establishing Intratumoral Modulation Therapy As A New Treatment Modality For High Grade Gliomas, Andrew M.A. Deweyert
Establishing Intratumoral Modulation Therapy As A New Treatment Modality For High Grade Gliomas, Andrew M.A. Deweyert
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain cancer in adults despite aggressive treatments with surgery and chemo-radiation. Advances in electrotherapeutics offer a foundation for developing new treatment modalities that exploit an innate vulnerability of glioblastoma (GBM). Low intensity, non-ablative electric fields are innocuous to normal neural structure, but incite GBM cell apoptosis by putatively disrupting cytokinesis and transmembrane ion homeostasis. Our collaborative research group is pioneering a new electrotherapeutic technology for GBM called Intratumoral Modulation Therapy (IMT) which uses customized, implanted bioelectrodes to deliver sustained, titratable and focused therapeutic electric fields into tumor-affected brain regions. My work …
Novel Imaging Tools Reveal The Dynamics Of The Myocardial Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor In Heart Disease And Heart Failure, Rebecca Sullivan
Novel Imaging Tools Reveal The Dynamics Of The Myocardial Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor In Heart Disease And Heart Failure, Rebecca Sullivan
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Heart disease (HD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Currently, diagnosis is based on clinical features, imaging, and circulating cardiac biomarkers. Cardiac imaging technologies, such as echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), enable the non-invasive detection of changes in heart function. Although these modalities can detect changes in structure and anatomy, it is usually at later stages, where prevention may not be possible. In conjunction with imaging, circulating biomarkers of heart failure (HF), notably B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac troponin I and T, can be detected with increased levels in the blood. These biomarkers are associated with …
The Role Of Gsk3 Alpha And Beta In Embryonic Craniofacial Development, Harman Jassar
The Role Of Gsk3 Alpha And Beta In Embryonic Craniofacial Development, Harman Jassar
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Background: The GSK-3 genes (Gsk3a and Gsk3b) have been known to affect many cellular processes and signaling pathways some of which are implicated in the growth and development of the craniofacial skeleton.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of chondrocyte-specific deletion of Gsk3a and Gsk3b on the size of the mandible and craniofacial skeleton in embryonic mice.
Materials & Methods: Mice were bred to generate cartilage-specific Gsk3a and Gsk3b KO mice. On embryonic day 18.5 (E18.5) the offspring were gathered by caesarian section. Whole mount skeletal staining was completed on the specimens using …
