The Effects Of C5-Substituted 2,4-Diaminoquinazolines On Selected Transcript Expression In Spinal Muscular Atrophy Cells., Cinsley Gentillon, Andrew J Connell, Ryan W Kirk, Matthew E R Butchbach
Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers
C5-substituted 2,4-diaminoquinazolines (2,4-DAQs) ameliorate disease severity in SMA mice. It is uncertain, however, that these compounds increase SMN protein levels in vivo even though they were identified as activators of the SMN2 promoter. These compounds also regulate the expression of other transcripts in neuroblastoma cells. In this study, we investigate the mechanism by which the 2,4-DAQs regulate the expression of SMN2 as well as other targets. D156844, D158872, D157161 and D157495 (RG3039) increased SMN2 promoter-driven reporter gene activity by at least 3-fold in NSC-34 cells. These compounds, however, did not significantly increase SMN2 mRNA levels in type II SMA fibroblasts …

Strategic Approach Of An Urban 900-Bed Academic Medical Center To Combat Clostridium Difficile Infection Transmission Using Staff Engagement, Courtney Mitchell, Mph, Kelly Zabriskie, Cic
Department of Medicine Posters
BACKGROUND
- Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) caused nearly 500,000 illnesses with 29,000 deaths in the United States
- Preventing hospital-associated Clostridium difficile infection (HA-CDI) is crucial to modern healthcare systems for reducing mortality, healthcare costs and length of stay
- There are multiple risk factors for CDI transmission in healthcare settings:
- Failure to comply with hand hygiene
- Ineffective equipment and surface cleaning
- Diagnosis delays

Reduction Of Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections In An Urban 40 Bed, Level Iii Neonatal Intensive Care Unit When New Practices Were Implemented, Roberta Glenn, Bsmt (Ascp) Cic
Department of Medicine Posters
BACKGROUND
- Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in the neonatal population is a major source of morbidity and mortality.
- The disruption of skin and mucus membranes by the use of invasive devices contributes to the susceptibility of this population.
- In our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the CLABSI rate was continually increasing.
- It became evident that new practice guidelines were necessary to reduce the CLABSI rate in this vulnerable population.

Introduction
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been useful to generate differentiated progenies for cell replacement therapy, and disease models. The Parkinson’s Disease (PD) field was arguably one of the first to have embraced the promise of stem cells. However, regardless of the differentiation protocols used, cultures and grafts continue to contain multiple cell types with midbrain dopamine (mDA) neural progenitors (NPs) and neurons representing only a fraction of total cells in the dish or graft. During cell differentiation, recruitment of transcription factors (TFs) to repressed genes in euchromatin is essential to activate new transcriptional programs, which is impeded by condensed …

Description
With a 20 year history, we have implemented a multifaceted IPE program for members of the urology team. These include urologists, both faculty and community, residents, medical students, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical technicians/assistants and administrative/ clerical personnel with patient contact. The program was designed with three components: a yearly symposium for all, and journal club(JC) and lectures for non-physicians. Participation is on a voluntary, noncompensatory basis. Outcome measures include routine anonymous participant feedback via questionnaire.
Results
The programs were very positively received. Limiting obstacles were also observed. Initially too many papers were assigned in the Journal club. …

Introduction
Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a common condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition, diagnosis and management is important, as untreated PE complications are high; also treatment with long term anticoagulation has serious complications.

This presentation will focus on an underutilized model of supportive care that can help bring back some of the human moments that can often be lost in delivering supportive oncology care. Handling the often complicated issues that arise in oncology care can take a toll on social workers and our oncology co-workers in other disciplines. In oncology care, especially in an outpatient setting, social workers often fulfill the role of emotional support not just for our patients but also for other oncology professionals. Though we are not employed to act as such, we dually assume the position of therapist and …

Importance: Iron deficiency is present in approximately 50% of patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) and is an independent predictor of reduced functional capacity and mortality. However, the efficacy of inexpensive readily available oral iron supplementation in heart failure is unknown.
Objective: To test whether therapy with oral iron improves peak exercise capacity in patients with HFrEF and iron deficiency.
Design, Setting, and Participants: Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of patients with HFrEF (
Interventions: Oral iron polysaccharide (n = 111) or placebo (n = 114), 150 mg twice daily for 16 weeks. …

Introduction
• Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the US.
• PDA is resistant to conventional chemotherapy; however, mechanisms that contribute to this chemoresistance are not well-described.
• The tumor microenvironment in PDA has a dense stromal reaction, which is thought to result in low oxygen and low nutrient conditions (Feig, C., et al. 2012).
• Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) has been identified as an enzyme that plays an important role in chemoresistance in PDA (Zarei, M., et al. In progress).
• We sought to establish an IDH1 knockout cell line to further …

Background
- Acute myocardial infarction (MI) in young adults can present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
- Kawasaki disease (KD) is a vasculitis of unknown etiology that occurs in infancy and childhood
- Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are the most serious complication of untreated KD seen in upto 25% of patients
- Thrombosis of these CAA or coronary stenosis can present as MI in less than 2% of cases which mainly occur in the 1st year of disease onset
- Late presentations in adult life is extremely rare

Introduction
- International studies find socioeconomic status (SES) to be predictive of functional impairment after stroke.1,2
- Lower socioeconomic status (LSE) is associated with increased severity of stroke onset, higher incidence of risk factors, and worse outcomes.3
- We sought to confirm the predictive significance of SES on acute ischemic stroke patient outcomes at a large urban, U.S. stroke center.

Background/Rationale
- Life Review Videos can provide patients with hope, help them finding meaning and value of life.
- Patients with cancer have limited opportunities to discuss their life before cancer.
- Insufficient research related to how patients would want their video to be used by family/friends and who they would chose to share their video with.
- Limited research regarding whether the relationship with the interviewer matters to participants of life review.
