Magel2 And Oca2 Dual Mutation In A Case Of Prader-Willi Syndrome, Anisha Jain, Gulrej Shaikh, Santosh Kondekar, Surbhi Rathi

Digital Journal of Clinical Medicine

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is an epigenetic disorder caused by the absence of paternal gene expression on chromosome 15q11-q13. It typically presents with hypotonia, hyperphagia, obesity, and short stature. Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypopigmentation of the skin and hair, resulting from mutations in the OCA genes. Mutations in MAGEL2, a member of the melanoma-associated antigen gene (MAGE) protein family, often present with features of autism spectrum disorder and arthrogryposis. This case is notable for its presentation of dual OCA2 and MAGEL2 mutations, with an atypical phenotype of Prader-Willi Syndrome. We present a 9-year-old boy of …

School of Medicine Publications

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers comprise of cancers that affect the digestive system and its accessory organs. The late detection and poor prognosis of GI cancer emphasizes the importance of identifying reliable and precise biomarkers for early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis. The membrane-bound glycoprotein dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP4), also known as CD26, is ubiquitously expressed and has a wide spectrum of biological roles. The role of DPP4/CD26 in tumor progression in different types of cancers remains elusive. However, the link between DPP4 and tumor-infiltrating cells, as well as its prognostic significance in malignancies, still require further investigation. This study was intended to …

Population Health Leadership and Analytics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Introduction: the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended various measures to tackle COVID-19, and were adopted by many governments, targeting behavior change among citizens to lower the transmission. There was a paucity of data on the patterns of compliance with different measures within individuals and whether people adhere to all recommended measures or cautiously prefer few but not others. Understanding compliance behaviors and associated factors is important for developing interventions to increase compliance.

Methods: cross-sectional study was conducted among adults in the western region of Kenya. A sample of 806 participants was selected using a stratified sampling method. A structured questionnaire …


Introducing Biosimilar Competition For Cell And Gene Therapy Products, Brian Canter, Sabine Sussman, Stephen Colvill, Nitzan Arad, Elizabeth Staton, Arti Rai Jan 2024

Introducing Biosimilar Competition For Cell And Gene Therapy Products, Brian Canter, Sabine Sussman, Stephen Colvill, Nitzan Arad, Elizabeth Staton, Arti Rai

Faculty Scholarship

This article provides an early analysis of the potential for creating future biosimilar competition for cell and gene therapies (CGTs) to lower prices and improve patient access, building on a unique set of interviews with relevant experts. Our discussion addressed regulatory, manufacturing, intellectual property, and market size challenges. Due to CGTs’ complexity, meeting the regulatory requirement of ‘high similarity with no clinically meaningful differences’ will be difficult. Gene therapies are likely better candidates for biosimilar development than cell therapies. Biosimilarity should be met when gene therapy biosimilars contain the same genetic sequence as a reference product, and the variability in …

Salvation And Sweet Rolls: An Examination Of Mormon Diet Books, Rachel Noorda Jan 2024

Salvation And Sweet Rolls: An Examination Of Mormon Diet Books, Rachel Noorda

English Faculty Publications and Presentations

Religious diet books highlight the overlap between religious and diet cultures. This article examines the intersection of Mormonism, diet culture, and fatphobia through an analysis of Mormon diet books published between 1990 and 2015. The study explores how Mormon diet books leverage the Word of Wisdom (the LDS health code) to promote weight loss and reinforce religious obedience. By framing dietary compliance as a spiritual mandate, these texts link physical health and body size to moral and spiritual worthiness. This conflation of body and spirit, rooted in Mormon theology, amplifies fatphobia by promoting thinness as a sign of obedience and …

Healthcare chaplains address broad social and emotional dimensions of care within a pluralistic religious landscape. Although the development and evaluation of chaplaincy interventions has advanced the field, little research has investigated factors influencing the implementation of new chaplain interventions. In this mixed-method study, we examined attitudes about evidence-based interventions held by chaplain residents (n = 39) at the outset of an ACPE-accredited residency program in the southeast United States. We also used semi-structured interviews (n = 9) to examine residents' attitudes, beliefs, and decision-making processes after they trained in the delivery of a novel manualized intervention, Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health (CCSH). …
