Mental Health And Experiences Of Pregnancy Among Black Women And Birthing People With Type 1 Diabetes (T1d), Madeleine E. Marcus Aug 2023

Mental Health And Experiences Of Pregnancy Among Black Women And Birthing People With Type 1 Diabetes (T1d), Madeleine E. Marcus

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explored the potential effects of intersections of oppression (i.e., anti-Black racism, diabetes discrimination, and sexism) on mental health and pregnancy experiences among Black women and birthing people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Previous studies about pregnancy and T1D have included mainly white, cisgender women. Three participants qualified for inclusion in the present study and participated in semi-structured interviews, which the researcher analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) framework.

Loss Of Stearoyl-Coa Desaturase 2 Disrupts Inflammatory Response In Macrophages, Joseph B Lin, Amy Mora, Tzu Jui Wang, Andrea Santeford, Darksha Usmani, Marianne M Ligon, Indira U Mysorekar, Rajendra S Apte

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Macrophages are innate immune cells that patrol tissues and are the first responders to detect infection. They orchestrate the host immune response in eliminating invading pathogens and the subsequent transition from inflammation to tissue repair. Macrophage dysfunction contributes to age-related pathologies, including low-grade inflammation in advanced age that is termed "inflammaging." Our laboratory has previously identified that macrophage expression of a fatty acid desaturase, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 2 (SCD2), declines with age. Herein, we delineate the precise cellular effects of SCD2 deficiency in murine macrophages. We found that deletion of

Management Of The Left Subclavian Artery During Aortic Arch Replacement Using A Frozen Elephant Trunk Approach: A Review, Vicente Orozco-Sevilla, Joseph S Coselli

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for total aortic arch replacement extends repair into the proximal portion of the descending thoracic aorta. Several techniques and modifications of total arch replacement have been described in the literature, and many of these iterations are related to facilitating the distal anastomosis while preserving flow to the left subclavian artery (LSCA), as well as maintaining posterior circulation of the brain via the vertebral artery, by reducing the circulatory arrest time during reconstruction. Because of the LSCA's posterior and deep anatomic location in the chest, particularly in obese patients, this revascularization is often challenging; additional …

Cancer driver events refer to key genetic aberrations that drive oncogenesis; however, their exact molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Here, our multi-omics pan-cancer analysis uncovers insights into the impacts of cancer drivers by identifying their significant cis-effects and distal trans-effects quantified at the RNA, protein, and phosphoprotein levels. Salient observations include the association of point mutations and copy-number alterations with the rewiring of protein interaction networks, and notably, most cancer genes converge toward similar molecular states denoted by sequence-based kinase activity profiles. A correlation between predicted neoantigen burden and measured T cell infiltration suggests potential vulnerabilities for immunotherapies. Patterns of …

(2012) Internal Working Models: A Strategy For Enhancing Counselor Supervision, Jennifer R. Curry, Glenn W. Lambie Aug 2023

(2012) Internal Working Models: A Strategy For Enhancing Counselor Supervision, Jennifer R. Curry, Glenn W. Lambie

Louisiana Journal of Counseling

Internal Working Models (IWMs) (Bowlby, 1988) provide a viable framework for conceptualizing supervisees’ development within the counselor supervision process. IWMs are the intrapersonal schematic for an individual’s interpersonal relations and significantly influence a supervisee’s interactional dynamics, development, and wellness within the context of both the therapeutic and supervisory relationships. Additionally, IWMs may be utilized within counseling supervision as a strategy to explore a supervisee’s theoretical orientation, case conceptualization, and the transference of theory to practice. This article introduces a supervision strategy grounded in IWMs to support supervisees’ development and offers a case illustration of the tool.
