Inflammatory Protein Elicitation In Response To Whole-Body Vibration Exposure, Nicholas Miller
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This study aimed to assess the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on the brain through changes in blood protein concentrations, seat and head accelerations, and symptomatology over time. Subjects were assigned to control, 1-hour, or 8-hour vibration exposure groups. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100B concentrations were measured. Root mean square average weighted vibration (Aws), vibration dose value (VDV), and seat-to-head transmissibility (STHT) were calculated. There were no differences in GFAP (p = 0.79) or S100B (p = 0.97) concentrations between 1-hour and 8-hour subjects (p = 0.79). Average weighted head acceleration (p …

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of unknown pathogenesis characterized by poorly differentiated carcinoma tissue containing sarcoma-like differentiation of either spindle or giant cell and rarely occurs in the gastrointestinal tract and hepatobiliary-pancreatic system.1 Primary hepatic sarcomatoid carcinoma accounts for only 0.2 % of primary malignant liver tumors, and 1.8% of all surgically resected hepatocellular carcinomas.2 The majority of hepatic sarcomatoid carcinoma cases appear to occur simultaneously with hepatocellular or cholangiocellular carcinoma.3 The preferred treatment for hepatic sarcomatoid carcinoma is surgical resection and the overall prognosis is poor.4 This case depicts a 62-year-old female whom …

Splenic Infarction: An Uncommon Presentation Of Acute Infectious Mononucleosis, Madhulika Urella, Roma Srivastava, Waseem Ahmed, Yehuda Lebowicz

Splenic infarction is a relatively uncommon diagnosis. It occurs when the splenic artery or one of its sub-branches is occluded with an infected or bland embolus or clot. Splenic infarction may be caused by atrial fibrillation, bacterial endocarditis, sickle cell disease, antiphospholipid syndrome, and trauma whereas an infectious etiology is uncommon. It is considered a rare presentation of acute infectious mononucleosis. Currently, its pathogenesis is still unclear. We describe a 24-year-old African American female who was admitted for evaluation of left-sided chest pain. Chest imaging, abdominal ultrasound, and initial laboratory data were normal, followed by a negative hypercoagulability panel. Signs …

Identification Of Genes Involved In Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation And Leukemia Differentiation And Leukemia, Jasjeet Bhullar

Hematopoiesis is maintained by a proper balance between self renewal and multipotent differentiation of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is characterized by the blockage in the differentiation of HSC, while self renewal and proliferation is preserved. It is important to understand the mechanisms involved in the inhibition of hematopoietic differentiation and maintenance of the HSC state in order to develop better therapies for AML. In these studies I have explored the role of Hsp90, omega-3 fatty acids and YB-1 in hematopoietic differentiation. EML, a hematopoietic precursor cell line, was used as a model for the hematopoietic …
