A Timeline Of Down Syndrome, Christian Guese, Kristina Mcinnes, Kimberly Miranda

Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters

The purpose of this research timeline is to synthesize the natural history of Down Syndrome (DS) to discover absence of knowledge, discuss the bioethics in prenatal screening and develop a public health message. Our method of research was literature-based. DS is one of the most common aneuploidy disorders in the United States. There are three genetic variations of DS, Trisomy 21, a third copy of chromosome 21, accounts for 95% of cases. DS causes intellectual disability, developmental delays, facial dysmorphia, and low muscle tone. DS also leads to an increased risk for congenital heart defects and Alzheimer’s disease later in …

Discovering Rett Syndrome (Rts) And Understanding Its Enigmatic Development, Fiorella Ramirez-Guasp, Chanel Chan, Sukyeong Kim

Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters

The purpose of this research project is to compose a comprehensive timeline on the rare disease Rett Syndrome (RTS) in order to better understand its enigmatic development as well as furthering the public’s understanding on this degenerative disease. RTS is a panethnic progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs nearly exclusively in girls. This syndrome is characterized by normal prenatal and neonatal development, followed by an onset of neurological symptoms with a mental stagnation anywhere around 6-18 months of age that involves a rapid loss in speech and acquired motor skills. There is limited knowledge about the molecular cause of Rett Syndrome, …

Identifying Determinants Of Breast Cancer Screening Through Mammography Among Asian American Women, Sayeda Tazim Zaidi, Raisa Kabir, Chia-Liang Dai

Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting women around the world. In the US, approximately 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. There is a growing incidence of breast cancer among Asian American (AA) women. Breast cancer screening by mammography is the most effective early detection method to reduce mortality but AA women have the lowest utilization rates. This study aims to identify the determinants affecting mammography among AA women. A literature search in PubMed Central, MEDLINE, and CINAHL was undertaken to include all peer-reviewed studies published within the past 20 years …

Data For "Subtype-Selective Positive Modulation Of Sk Channels Depends On The Ha/Hb Helices", Miao Zhang, Meng Cui

Pharmacy Faculty Data Sets

In the activated state of small-conductance Ca²⁺-activated potassium (SK) channels, calmodulin interacts with the HA/HB helices and the S4-S5 linker. CyPPA potentiates SK2a and SK3 channel activity but not the SK1 and IK subtypes. Here, we report that the subtype-selectivity of CyPPA relies on the HA/HB helices. Mutating residues in the HA (V420) and HB (K467) helices of SK2a channels to their equivalent residues in IK channels diminished the potency of CyPPA. CyPPA elicited prominent responses on mutant IK channels with an arginine residue in the HB helix substituted for its equivalent lysine residue in the SK2a channels …

Noninvasive Amniotic Fluid Sampling To Establish Pk Of Azithromycin In Pregnancy, Rupsa Boelig, Edwin Lam, Ankit Rochani, Gagan Kaushal, Amanda Roman, Walter K. Kraft

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Posters

Background

PK studies to guide dosing of azithromycin (AZ) for pregnancy specific conditions, such as preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), and data on accumulation of AZ in fetal compartment are lacking. We aim to evaluate feasibility of non-invasive collection of amniotic fluid (AF), validate an assay for AZ in AF, and describe concentration of AZ in the amniotic cavity over one week following a single maternal dose.

Methods

Patients with PPROM treated with 1g AZ PO once and wore underwear lining pads to collect AF as it leaked. AF strained from each pad, up to 10cc collected, centrifuged and …

Pioneer Science And The Great Plagues: How Microbes, War, And Public Health Shaped Animal Health, Norman F. Cheville, Purdue University Press

Purdue University Press Books

Pioneer Science and the Great Plagues covers the century when infectious plagues—anthrax, tuberculosis, tetanus, plague, smallpox, and polio—were conquered, and details the important role that veterinary scientists played. The narrative is driven by astonishing events that centered on animal disease: the influenza pandemic of 1872, discovery of the causes of anthrax and tuberculosis in the 1880s, conquest of Texas cattle fever and then yellow fever, German anthrax attacks on the United States during World War I, the tuberculin war of 1931, Japanese biological warfare in the 1940s, and today’s bioterror dangers.

Veterinary science in the rural Midwest arose from agriculture, …

Avoidance Of Maxillary Swing For Nasopharyngectomy Via Combined Open Lateral And Endoscopic Approach, S. Hamad Sagheer, Bs, Brian Swendseid, Md, Joseph M. Curry, Md, Mindy Rabinowitz, Md, Gurston Nyquist, Md, Marc R. Rosen, Md, James Evans, Md, Adam J. Luginbuhl

Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Posters

Objectives: Nasopharyngectomy performed via a solely endoscopic approach has limitations in access and feasibility, particularly regarding management of the carotid artery. To address these limitations, we report three cases with one cadaver dissection where nasopharyngectomy was performed via a combined open lateral an endoscopic approach. We highlight the benefits and technical considerations for this operative technique.

Study Design: Case Series

Methods: Patients diagnosed with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) that underwent combined open lateral and endoscopic nasopharyngectomy from 2016-2020 were analyzed. A cadaver dissection was also performed.

Results: We present the details of the approach and follow-up in three patients with …
