Correlates Of Zero-Dose Vaccination Status Among Children Aged 12–59 Months In Sub-Saharan Africa: A Multilevel Analysis Of Individual And Contextual Factors, Chamberline E. Ozigbu, Bankole Olatosi Ph.D., Zhenlong Li, James W. Hardin, Nicole L. Hair

Faculty Publications

Despite ongoing efforts to improve childhood vaccination coverage, including in hard-to-reach and hard-to-vaccinate communities, many children in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remain unvaccinated. Considering recent goals set by the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030), including reducing the number of zero-dose children by half, research that goes beyond coverage to identify populations and groups at greater risk of being unvaccinated is urgently needed. This is a pooled cross-sectional study of individual- and country-level data obtained from Demographic and Health Surveys Program and two open data repositories. The sample includes 43,131 children aged 12–59 months sampled between 2010 and 2020 in 33 SSA countries. …

Recent Graduates’ Perspectives On Undergraduate Kinesiology Programs In Canada, Kevin Cheng, Alexander Klas, Rebecca Ataman, Shannon Chou, Sep Pouresa

All Dugoni School of Dentistry Faculty Articles

Background: Kinesiologists are a growing group of health professionals in Canada who can enter practice after completing undergraduate kinesiology programs. Unlike other health professional programs such as physiotherapy that have well-established curricula and extensive national accreditation standards, kinesiology programs vary considerably between institutions. The resultant disparities in kinesiology graduates’ entry-level skillsets, competencies, and confidence levels contribute to their uncertainty regarding their role in healthcare and the public’s underutilization of kinesiology services. Conclusions: As former kinesiology students, and as current kinesiologists and allied health professionals, we offer our perspective on how undergraduate kinesiology programs could change to respond to the needs …

Pathogenesis Of Tuberculosis: The 1930 Lübeck Disaster Revisited, Peter Donald, Stefan Kaufmann, Stephanie Thee, Anna Maria Mandalakas, Christoph Lange

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

During the 1930 Lübeck Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG) disaster, 251 neonates received three oral BCG doses accidentally contaminated by virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis; 67 (26.7%) infants died of tuberculosis. BCG reversion to pathogenicity did not occur. Detailed post mortem examinations clarified contested aspects of tuberculosis pathogenesis. Gastrointestinal infection was seldom “silent” and did not cause typical primary pulmonary lesions. In 15 infants, primary pulmonary foci were found but these resulted from vaccine ingestion and aspiration and were not caused by gastrointestinal infection spreading to the lungs without trace of its journey, as claimed by prominent researchers such as Calmette …

Emerging Applications Of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound In Trauma, Brenda Tester, Ji-Bin Liu, John R. Eisenbrey, George Koenig

Department of Radiology Faculty Papers

The use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has expanded over the past decade to include a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. These include urgent clinical situations that require timely diagnosis and subsequent treatment. With the introduction of microbubble ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), CEUS provides increased sensitivity and specificity over conventional ultrasound. Within the trauma setting, CEUS benefits include point of care imaging and an ability to monitor perfusion in real-time. Additionally, UCAs are non-nephrotoxic, and can be used when contrast enhanced CT is contraindicated. In this review, we discuss recent advancements of CEUS within trauma settings.

Feasible Stenting Of A Large Septal Perforator Providing A Sizeable Coronary Collaterals, Hussam Al Hennawi, Mohammad F. Mathbout,, Abdulrahman Taftafa, Christopher D. Nielsen

Division of Internal Medicine Faculty Papers & Presentations

While coronary artery disease involving the septal perforator branches presents similar to diseases of major coronary arteries, management can present a challenge. Owing to their relatively small size, performing interventional procedures is often impractical in terms of selecting appropriate devices. Although larger septal perforator branches have been managed percutaneously, similar to major vessels, long-term sequelae and clinical effectiveness have been indeterminate. We present our experience in managing a patient with a stenosed septal perforator branch and challenging comorbidities.

Recent Progress In Immunotherapy For Skin Cancer, Fadhli Aulia Mughni, Rinadewi Astriningrum, Aida Sd Hoemardani, Kusmarinah Bramono, Adhimukti T. Sampurna, Agassi Suseno Sutarjo

Journal of General - Procedural Dermatology and Venereology Indonesia

Skin cancer is a global health concern due to its growing incidence and high mortality rate. The most common therapeutic modalities in skin cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, those therapies do not specifically target cancer cells and may damage healthy tissues. Cancer induces immune response by releasing soluble antigens and danger signals caused by tumor cellular stress or death, while the immune system continuously monitor and control malignant proliferation through cancer immunoediting. Therefore, targeting this mechanism is a promising approach to manage cancer, especially those unresponsive to conventional therapies. Immunotherapy is a specific therapy that manipulates the immune …

EWI2 is a transmembrane immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) protein that physically associates with tetraspanins and integrins. It inhibits cancer cells by influencing the interactions among membrane molecules including the tetraspanins and integrins. The present study revealed that, upon EWI2 silencing or ablation, the elevated movement and proliferation of cancer cells in vitro and increased cancer metastatic potential and malignancy in vivo are associated with (i) increases in clustering, endocytosis, and then activation of EGFR and (ii) enhancement of Erk MAP kinase signaling. These changes in signaling make cancer cells (i) undergo partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) for more tumor progression and (ii) proliferate …
