UK CARES Faculty Publications

Introduction: Pediatric and young adult brain tumors (PYBT) account for a large share of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among children in the United States, but their etiology is not well understood. Previous research suggests the Appalachian region of Kentucky has high rates of PYBT. This study explored PYBT incidence over 25 years in Kentucky to identify geographic and temporal trends and generate hypotheses for future research. Methods: The Kentucky Cancer Registry contributed data on all PYBT diagnosed among those aged 0–29 during years 1995–2019. Age- and sex-adjusted spatio-temporal scan statistics—one for each type of PYBT, and one for all types—comprised …

Immediate Loading Of Four Single Piece Compressive Implant For Bar-Retained Mandibular Complete Overdenture: A Study Of Peri-Implant Marginal Bone Loss And Implant Stability (A Randomized Clinical Trial), Mirna A. Maged, Mohamed Shady, Islam Kandil, Ahmed Habib

Mansoura Journal of Dentistry

Objective: Clinical and Radiographic evaluation of bar-retained mandibular overdenture retained by four single-piece compressive implants regarding bone loss and implant stability.

Materials and methods: Fifteen completely edentulous patients with mandibular knife edge ridge anteriorly were chosen, for all patients, compressive implants were installed in the inter-foramina areas and immediately loaded with mandibular complete overdenture housing three peek clips and retained by Co-Cr bar, implant stability was measured using periotest at insertion day T0, 3and 6 months after insertion (T3, T6), Vertical bone height changes around supporting dental implants were evaluated using CBCT x-ray at insertion day (T0), 6 …


Increasing The Efficacy Of Actinomycin D With Resveratrol In Aerodigestive Tract Cancers, Lukmon Morenikeji Raji Jan 2024

Increasing The Efficacy Of Actinomycin D With Resveratrol In Aerodigestive Tract Cancers, Lukmon Morenikeji Raji

Chemotherapy poses a significant challenge for cancer patients due to drug-associated toxicity, which often results from their effects on both healthy (normal) and cancerous cells. While various options aim to reduce toxicity and optimize beneficial effects, a comprehensive solution remains elusive. Cyclotherapy is one such approach developed to protect normal cells from the toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs. The basic principle underlying cyclotherapy is p53- dependent cell cycle arrest of normal cells while killing cancer cells via a p53-independent mechanism using a second drug. In our research, we investigated the inhibitory effects of a combination of two low-dose anticancer drugs, …


Standardizing The Discharge Process To Reduce Copd Readmission Rates, Kristine Doligosa Jan 2024

Standardizing The Discharge Process To Reduce Copd Readmission Rates, Kristine Doligosa

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Background: Frequent acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) can lead to unfavorable patient outcomes and costly readmissions. Inadequate patient support during discharge and an inconsistent discharge process are factors contributing to high readmissions in this population.

Purpose: This quality improvement project aimed to reduce COPD-related hospital readmissions by standardizing the discharge process for patients admitted with AECOPD and identify patient risk factors for readmission.

Methods: Following a quantitative and quasi-experimental design, this project standardized the discharge process for patients admitted with AECOPD using the Re-Engineered Discharge Toolkit components and a discharge care bundle. The project was …

Introduction: Corticosteroids affect numerous downstream cytokines to exert anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Intralesional corticosteroid injection provides several advantages, including bypassing the stratum corneum to deliver a higher concentration of drug locally, while reducing systemic exposure. Intralesional corticosteroids are used in a variety of dermatologic conditions, and suboccipital steroid injection has been described as a novel treatment for cluster headaches. Case Presentation: A 52-year-old Caucasian female presented to the outpatient dermatologic clinic with indented skin lesions on the scalp and forehead for six weeks. The indentation started on her left frontal scalp and spread down gradually to her forehead and temple. …
