Sdrnas Participate In The Maintenance And Onset Of Prostate Cancer, Neil Chaudhary May 2024

Sdrnas Participate In The Maintenance And Onset Of Prostate Cancer, Neil Chaudhary

Poster Presentations

What is an sdRNA? Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is a class of RNA that includes microRNA (miRNA) and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA). Fragments excised from ncRNAs are known as noncodingderived RNA (ndRNA). A certain class of ndRNAs that are derived from snoRNAs have been denoted as Small Nucleolar Derived RNAs (sdRNAs). Our lab has previously hypothesized and demonstrated that sdRNAs display regulatory functions on target genes, similar to the functions of miRNAs. sdRNAs are almost identical to microRNAs and differ mainly in their source of origin.

Our lab has shown that sdRNA-93 is frequently misexpressed in breast cancer cell lines and …


Paradigm Shift: A Meta-Narrative Review Of The Intricacies And Complications That Led To Changes In Standard Protocols For Primary Human Papillomavirus Screenings, Hillary L. Campbell, Sara N.

Research Methods Poster Session 2024

Objective:

To evaluate cervical cancer screening modalities and assess the reasoning that has led to primary HPV being the preferred target for screening.

Background:

History of HPV infection has been found to be correlated with cervical cancer precursor cells. Early detection of the infection is advantageous in decreasing the risk for women of reproductive age acquiring cervical cancer. The general consensus places an emphasis on implementing HPV testing in accordance with cervical cancer protocol.

Methods:

Six methodical reviews of cervical cancer screenings were done through PubMed and the M.D. Anderson Research library. Each article was evaluated to include recently published …


Primary Resection Of Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor With Suspected Lymph Node Metastasis: A Case Report, Raleigh Payton, David Bassa, Furrukh Jabbar, Hassan Ahmed Jan 2024

Primary Resection Of Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor With Suspected Lymph Node Metastasis: A Case Report, Raleigh Payton, David Bassa, Furrukh Jabbar, Hassan Ahmed

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Duodenal neuroendocrine carcinomas are an uncommon variant of Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) that are typically non-functional with locoregional spread at the time of diagnosis. Management of these tumors is dependent on size, grade, stage, functional status and location. Summary: A 66-year-old male presented with an incidental finding of low grade 3 centimeter duodenal NET on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) located in the second segment of the duodenum with evidence of lymphadenopathy on staging scans. In patients with suspected lymph node metastases, the first choice for curative intent is a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), also known as Whipple Procedure. We achieved surgical resection with free …


Case Report: Streptococcus Gallolyticus Prosthetic Joint Infection, Jeffrey Dickerson, Liza Salloum, Amaan Sheikh, Madhukanth Reddy, Bryan Youree Jan 2024

Case Report: Streptococcus Gallolyticus Prosthetic Joint Infection, Jeffrey Dickerson, Liza Salloum, Amaan Sheikh, Madhukanth Reddy, Bryan Youree

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Streptococcus gallolyticus, part of the Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) formerly known as Group D streptococi, is strongly associated with colorectal cancer and infective endocarditis. Its appearance in septic arthritis is rare, and its role in septic arthritis has not been as thoroughly investigated. We present the case of a 69 year old male with a history of atrial fibrillation and hypertension who was admitted to our hospital after undergoing a right knee replacement in 2023 with a chief complaint of right knee pain, fever, and chills. Arthrocentesis and blood cultures were performed, and the patient was started on …

Ulcerating Plaques Of The Lower Extremities Of A 23-Year-Old Female, Robyn O. Okereke, Christian J. Scheufele, Michael Carletti, Stephen E. Weis

North Texas Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: What should come to mind when any physician sees dark red spots on the legs? If you answered vasculitis, then you are on the right track. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is defined as small vessel inflammation of the dermal capillaries and venules. The clinical hallmark finding of LCV is palpable purpura (raised, round, purple plaques) on the lower extremities. LCV is confirmed by histopathology showing neutrophilic infiltration in the walls of dermal vasculature. Though LCV is the most common cause of clinical vasculitis, the annual incidence of biopsy-proven LCV is approximately 30-45 per million individuals. LCV typically occurs in adults …


Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis Discovered Through Skin Biopsy In A Pregnant Patient From Mexico, Henry Lim, Christina Guo, Marshall Hall, Christian Scheufele, Christopher M. Wong Jan 2024

Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis Discovered Through Skin Biopsy In A Pregnant Patient From Mexico, Henry Lim, Christina Guo, Marshall Hall, Christian Scheufele, Christopher M. Wong

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by the organism Coccidioides immitis, a fungus endemic to the southwestern United States, Mexico, Central and South America. The presentation of coccidioidomycosis can range from symptoms resembling a simple upper respiratory infection, such as cough, to more severe systemic symptoms including fever, malaise, and chills. Cutaneous lesions of coccidioidomycosis demonstrate a large heterogeneity of clinical manifestations but are significant as they may be the presenting sign of disseminated disease. While usually confined to the lungs, extrapulmonary coccidioidomycosis can occur in about 1 in 200 patients, most commonly associated with immunocompromised status. Pregnancy is an …


Rare Rectal Lipoma Case Report, Victoria Nguyen, Sean Sojdie, Kunal Elete, Justin Richardson, Long Hoang Jan 2024

Rare Rectal Lipoma Case Report, Victoria Nguyen, Sean Sojdie, Kunal Elete, Justin Richardson, Long Hoang

North Texas Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: Colonic lipomas are rare, benign non-epithelial lesions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that predominantly affect elderly females and often found in the ascending colon. They are least common in the rectum, with a prevalence of 3.4%. Lipomas can grow to cause abdominal pain, bleeding, or obstruction. We report an incidental finding of a rectal lipoma in a patient presented with rectal bleeding. CASE: A 70 year-old male with a history of migraines presented to the hospital for two weeks of rectal bleeding and syncopal episode prior to arrival. Patient had visited the emergency department two weeks prior, but hemoglobin …
