Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

A community outreach hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection screening program provided low yield of detecting HCV-infected patients, linking them to our hepatology clinic for treatment. Our data underscore that most of the yield was related to addiction centers and birth cohort; these groups should be targeted by future interventions.

Visualization Of Brown Fat Using X-Ray Dark Field Imaging, Troy D. Jacobs

LSU Master's Theses

Introduction: Obesity has become a major societal issue. Many researchers are looking for ways to combat this growing epidemic. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) might be a way to help individuals overcome the challenges associated with weight loss and maintenance of weight loss, but a better understanding of BAT and how to control and utilize it is needed. BAT differs from white adipose tissue (WAT) in that BAT is rich with mitochondria and therefore is metabolically active. BAT is a source of non-shivering thermogenesis and can be activated both by cold exposure and pharmacologically. Current methods of assessing BAT activity are …

Atrx Deletion In Neurons Leads To Sexually Dimorphic Dysregulation Of Mir-137 And Spatial Learning And Memory Deficits., Renee J. Tamming, Vanessa Dumeaux, Yan Jiang, Sarfraz Shafiq, Luana Langlois, Jacob Ellegood, Lily R. Qiu, Jason P. Lerch, Nathalie G. Bérubé

Paediatrics Publications

ATRX gene mutations have been identified in syndromic and non-syndromic intellectual disabilities in humans. ATRX is known to maintain genomic stability in neuroprogenitor cells, but its function in differentiated neurons and memory processes remains largely unresolved. Here, we show that the deletion of neuronal Atrx in mice leads to distinct hippocampal structural defects, fewer presynaptic vesicles, and an enlarged postsynaptic area at CA1 apical dendrite-axon junctions. We identify male-specific impairments in long-term contextual memory and in synaptic gene expression, linked to altered miR-137 levels. We show that ATRX directly binds to the miR-137 locus and that the enrichment of the …

Introduction. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). High rates of amputation risk and mortality in DM patients with DFU as well as the use of conventional therapies that often fail to improve the DFU condition cause an adjuvant therapy such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to be used. HBOT is known can facilitate wound bed closure and reduce the amputation rates in diabetic gangrene foot. This study aimed to determine the relationship between total sessions of HBOT as adjuvant therapy with an improvement of DFU patients. Method. A cross-sectional study was conducted among DFU …
