The Benefits Of Art Therapy On Stress And Anxiety Of Oncology Patients During Treatment, Helen Shiepe
Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses
Within the last ten years research on art therapy and its positive impact on oncology patients’ stress and anxiety during treatment has been minimal. Oncology patients whether they are children or adults when diagnosed experience similar reactions due to their diagnosis, treatment, and in some cases end of life care. The current question is whether or not art therapy does have a positive impact on decreasing the stress and anxiety with oncology patients while undergoing treatment. Deane, Fitch & Carmen (2000), discussed art therapy as a healing art that is “intended to integrate physical, emotional, and spiritual care by facilitating …

Longitudinal Computed Tomography Airway Measurements In Ex-Smokers With And Without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Paulina V. Wyszkiewicz
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airflow obstruction, emphysematous destruction, and airway remodeling. Thoracic CT has previously revealed abnormalities in the small airways, where disease onset is believed to initiate. In previous COPD cohort studies, airway wall thinning and diminished total airway count (TAC) were observed with increasing disease severity. However, longitudinal insights are lacking. Accordingly, the objective of this thesis was to evaluate longitudinal CT airway measurements at baseline and after three-years in ex-smokers. I observed that CT TAC was decreased only in ex-smokers with COPD, whilst airway walls were thinner in both …

Risk Factor Analysis Of Hospital Readmissions At St. Petersburg General Hospital, Vincent Wu, Sean Quinonez, My Myers, Kyle Borodunovich, Aisha Shamsi, Patrick Stocker, Bryan Fink, Steven Ferreira
HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine
Background
Decreased readmission rates are largely seen as an indicator of effective care and improved resource management. The case management team at St. Petersburg General Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida identified chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation, pneumonia, and sepsis as 3 of the leading diagnoses on index admission that later led to 30-day readmissions. By examining patients with these 3 diagnoses on index admission, we decided to investigate potential readmission risk factors including patient age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI), length of stay during the index admission, insurance type during index admission, discharge placement after index admission, coronary …

Annual Research Symposium
Hypothesis/Purpose: In this report we present a case of a 20-year-old female with congenital intellectual disability, stunted growth, and hypothyroidism. Competitive genetic hybridization (CHG) revealed a loss of 17p13.3, and the deletion was not present in either parent. This deletion has not previously been characterized, but mutations on the p-arm of chromosome 17 are responsible for Miller-Dieker Syndrome and Isolated Lissencephaly Sequence, both of which share symptoms in common with the patient.
Methods: Peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used for karyotyping and competitive genetic hybridization (CHG). Bioinformatic analysis was carried out using the Genome Data Viewer (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/gdv).
Results: Karyotype was …

Can Multidetector Ct Scan Replace Mri For Evaluation Of Mesorectal Fasca In Rectal Cancer?, Maryam Farghdani, Mehdi Karami, Amirafraz Fallah
BioMedicine
Abstract
Background
Colorectal cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer mortality.
Aim
This study aimed to can multidetector CT scan (MDCT) replace Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for mesorectal fasca in rectal cancer?
Methods
This cross-sectional was conducted on patients with rectal cancer in Alzahra and Seyed-Shohada hospitals. MRI, mesorectal fascia (MPR), and axial MDCT were provided from patients to assess the involvement of mesorectal fascia. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were assessed in these patients. Kappa coefficient agreement was used for analysis. Patients were also divided into different subgroups based on gender, tumoral location, nodal involvement, and …

BioMedicine
Background and Aim: Adenosine A1 receptor (AA1R) has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on cell growth in several cancers; however, its function in esophageal cancer is still unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of AA1R on cell growth and apoptosis in esophageal cancer cells. Materials and methods: In this study, YM-1 and KYSE-30 esophageal cancer cell lines were cultured. AA1R gene expression was determined by quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). As well, the AA1R antagonist (DPCPX) effect on cell viability was evaluated by the MTT assay. Moreover, apoptosis was assessed by annexin-V and propidium iodide …

BioMedicine
Background: Differentiating jugular foramen from hypoglossal canal in computed tomography (CT) scan is vital for correct diagnosis of posterior fossa pathologies; however, it has been shown that the ability for differentiating these skull base elements is limited. The purpose of this study was to produce a simple algorithm for differentiating the jugular foramen from the hypoglossal canal in axial CT scan on two levels (top level where bony carotid canal is evident and lower level where bony carotid canal is not evident). Methods: Data derived from axial CT scan of 250 patients (500 sides) were used for producing algorithm. At …

BioMedicine
Background: Acetylation and trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27ac and H3K27me3) generally activate and repress transcription, respectively. Concurrent activation of H3K27ac and H3K27me3 has been reported to correlate with poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma. A high level of H3K27me3 has been shown to be associated with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tumour stage, but prognostic impact of H3K27ac level alone/or in combination with H3K27me3 in OSCC patients had not yet been reported. Material and Methods: In this study, immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies against H3K27ac and H3K27me3 was performed on a series of 72 OSCC samples to investigate the …

Effects Of Hepatocyte Growth Factor On Porcine Mammary Cell Growth And Senescence, Chi-Ping Huang, Liang-Chih Liu, Hsin-Ling Lu, Chih-Rong Shyr
BioMedicine
Background: The porcine mammary glands share morphological and physiological similarities with human ones, making primary porcine mammary cells (PMC) suitable for biomedical research and a potential cellular therapeutic for breast cancer xenogeneic cell immunotherapy. Primary cells isolated from tissues remain the physiological functions of origin tissues but their self-renewal ability is restricted and cells acquire senescence during in vitro expansion. To overcome these drawbacks, here we sought to establish an approach to efficiently increase PMC’s in vitro growth. We studied the effects of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to maintain the expansion capacity of porcine mammary cells and identify the …

BioMedicine
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is still a challenging metabolic disease worldwide. In the current situation, the world is facing a COVID-19 pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. DM is one of comorbid that can worsen the severity of the COVID-19 condition. Surprisingly, SARS-CoV-2 infection can induce new-onset diabetes, a condition in which acute hyperglycemia occurs and may potentially develop into a complication in non-diabetic patients. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a crucial entry factor of SARS-CoV-2 infection. ACE2 will bind to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, making its entrance to the potentially damaging process of many tissues in the human body, including …
