Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: Outcomes And Tumor Characteristics In Women Recalled From Screening, Michelle Y. Giwerc

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed and second leading cause of cancer deaths in women, accounting for 25% of cancer diagnoses and 15.4% of cancer deaths in developed countries. Thus, early detection of breast cancer through screening has become increasingly important in mortality reduction efforts. Yet, mammography has faced considerable controversy in balancing the benefits and harms associated with screening. Digital breast tomosynthesis has emerged as an important imaging technique which, compared to standard mammography alone, reduces recall rates and false positives, and improves cancer detection. Additional cancers detected with tomosynthesis have been poorly characterized in the literature to …

A Bittersweet Balance: Adjunct Therapy For Hyperglycemia In Critically Ill Patients, Caroline Argyros

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Stress-induced hyperglycemia in critically ill patients negatively affects their recovery. Providers have struggled to balance the treatment of hyperglycemia with aggressive insulin therapy with the risk of hypoglycemia as an adverse effect. Both immobilization and continuous enteral nutrition are common in a critical care setting and have implications as contributors for further hyperglycemia due to decreased peripheral glucose uptake and worsening insulin resistance. We propose to determine if an aggressive early mobilization protocol and nutrition protocol in the form of bolus feeds will decrease the amount of insulin units needed to treat hyperglycemia in critically ill patients. To do so, …

Increased Expression Of The Tight Junction Protein Tjp1/Zo-1 Is Associated With Upregulation Of Taz-Tead Activity And An Adult Tissue Stem Cell Signature In Carfilzomib-Resistant Multiple Myeloma Cells And High-Risk Multiple Myeloma Patients, Irene Riz, Robert G. Hawley

Anatomy and Regenerative Biology Faculty Publications

Tight junction protein 1 (TJP1) has recently been proposed as a biomarker to identify multiple myeloma (MM) patients most likely to respond to bortezomiband carfilzomib-based proteasome inhibitor regimens. Herein we report increased expression of TJP1 during the adaptive response mediating carfilzomib resistance in the LP-1/Cfz MM cell line. Moreover, increased TJP1 expression delineated a subset of relapsed/refractory MM patients on bortezomib-based therapy sharing an LP-1/Cfzlike phenotype characterized by activation of interacting transcriptional effectors of the Hippo signaling cascade (TAZ and TEAD1) and an adult tissue stem cell signature. siRNA-mediated knockdown of TJP1 or TAZ/TEAD1 partially sensitized LP-1/Cfz cells to carfilzomib. …

Why It’S Not Ok For Doctors To Participate In Executions, Robert F. Johnson

Peer Reviewed Articles

A plea for direct physician participation in executions was presented by Sandeep Jauhar in a New York Times Op-Ed (“Why It’s OK for Doctors to Participate in Executions”—April 21, 2017). Jauhar’s article is not a discussion of the ethics of capital punishment. He describes his own opposition “as a matter of principle, as a doctor.” However, since capital punishment is legal in 31 states, with required physician participation in several, he acquiesces to a utilitarian stance rather than the principled approach he acknowledges is expected of a physician in this circumstance.

A Novel Mechanism Of Non- Feminizing Estrogens In Neuroprotection, Elizabeth B. Engler-Chiurazzi, Douglas F. Covey, James W. Simpkins

Clinical and Translational Science Institute

Estrogens are potent and efficacious neuroprotectants both in vitro and in vivo in a variety of models of neurotoxicity. We determined the structural requirements for neuroprotection in an in vitro assay using a panel of more than 70 novel estratrienes, synthesized to reduce or eliminate estrogen receptor (ER) binding. We observed that neuroprotection could be enhanced by as much as 200-fold through modifications that positioned a large bulky group at the C2 or C4 position of the phenolic A ring of the estratriene. Further, substitutions on the B, C or D rings either reduced or did not markedly change neuroprotection. …
