Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications
A newly-developed platform, the Illumina TruSeq Methyl Capture EPIC library prep (TruSeq EPIC), builds on the content of the Infinium MethylationEPIC Beadchip Microarray (EPIC-array) and leverages the power of next-generation sequencing for targeted bisulphite sequencing. We empirically examined the performance of TruSeq EPIC and EPIC-array in assessing genome-wide DNA methylation in breast tissue samples. TruSeq EPIC provided data with a much higher density in the regions when compared to EPIC-array (~2.74 million CpGs with at least 10X coverage vs ~752 K CpGs, respectively). Approximately 398 K CpGs were common and measured across the two platforms in every sample. Overall, there …

Ratings Of Performance In Multisource Feedback: Comparing Performance Theories Of Residents And Nurses, 2020 Aga Khan University
Ratings Of Performance In Multisource Feedback: Comparing Performance Theories Of Residents And Nurses, Muhammed Tariq, Marjan Govaerts, Azam Afzal, Syed Ahsan Ali, Tabassum Zehra
Department for Educational Development
Background: Multisource feedback (MSF) is increasingly being used to assess trainee performance, with different assessor groups fulfilling a crucial role in utility of assessment data. However, in health professions education, research on assessor behaviors in MSF is limited. When assessing trainee performance in work settings, assessors use multidimensional conceptualizations of what constitutes effective performance, also called personal performance theories, to distinguish between various behaviors and sub competencies., This may not only explain assessor variability in Multi Source Feedback, but also result in differing acceptance (and use) of assessment data for developmental purposes. The purpose of this study was to explore …

We have created the immunodeficient SRG rat, a Sprague-Dawley Rag2/Il2rg double knockout that lacks mature B cells, T cells, and circulating NK cells. This model has been tested and validated for use in oncology (SRG OncoRat®). The SRG rat demonstrates efficient tumor take rates and growth kinetics with different human cancer cell lines and PDXs. Although multiple immunodeficient rodent strains are available, some important human cancer cell lines exhibit poor tumor growth and high variability in those models. The VCaP prostate cancer model is one such cell line that engrafts unreliably and grows irregularly in …
Protective Effects Of The Novel Phytonutrient S7 Against Intestinal Tight Junction Disruption: Composition Matters (Abstract Only), 2020 Olivet Nazarene University
Protective Effects Of The Novel Phytonutrient S7 Against Intestinal Tight Junction Disruption: Composition Matters (Abstract Only), Erin Olson
ELAIA
The prevalence of intestinal inflammatory diseases is increasing, and pharmacologic agents for intervention are currently limited. Preserving epithelial tight junction (TJ) integrity and preventing underlying immune cell activation by intestinal bacteria are key targets for abrogating the perpetual inflammatory cycle that plagues these diseases. Phytonutrients have shown promise for their ability to reduce cellular inflammation, but the extent of their efficacy in an intestinal model of inflammation is not well understood. Here, we hypothesized that S7, a novel phytonutrient derived from extracts rich in curcuminoids and catechins, would reduce immune cell inflammation and preserve TJ integrity in an in vitro …

Scientists classified the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as a novel coronavirus on January 7, 2020. The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledged the SARS-CoV-2 outburst a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020. Since its origin, this virus has disrupted the best healthcare systems, economies, and strained financial resources; and for underdeveloped countries' healthcare systems, the virus has become a crisis. To tackle the potential hazards from this virus, our Department restructured the services that not only helped us to cope with the pandemic, but also provided an example to copy for other contemporary institutes. …

MEDI 9331 Scholarly Activities Clinical Years
Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected millions of people all over the world with worse proven outcomes in those with certain comorbid conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and pulmonary complications. The Rio Grande Valley located in South Texas with a largely Hispanic population has been hit especially hard during this pandemic with over 3,200 virus-related deaths. This region’s high population of diabetic and obese patients is likely correlated with the especially high mortality rate. While it is understood the impact that obesity has on worsening health outcomes, further research is needed to better understand whether more adverse COVID-19 …

Adult Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, 2020 Aga Khan University
Adult Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, Antonina Obayo, Karishma Sharma, Caroline Mithi, Riyat Malkit, Anne Mwirigi
Internal Medicine, East Africa
Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome of excessive inflammation and tissue destruction due to abnormal immune activation. HLH carries a very high mortality, and while delays in patients’ presentation to hospital, time to suspicion of HLH, investigation, and initiation of therapy all play a part, mortality remains high even with timely diagnosis and treatment. Classical manifestations of HLH include persistent fever, cytopenias, and liver dysfunction.
Case presentation: We present four cases of secondary HLH, highlighting the demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients, underlying triggers (including systemic lupus erythematosus, lymphoproliferative disorders, and leishmaniasis), together with challenges associated with the …

Five Year Survival Of Active Multiple Myeloma Patients Based On Durie-Salmon And International Myeloma Working Group 2003 Diagnostic Criteria, Sri Agustini Kurniawati, Ary Harryanto Reksodiputro, Tubagus Djumhana Atmakusuma
Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia
Introduction. Survival of active multiple myeloma (MM) patients is determined by early diagnosis and various prognostic factors. The development of MM diagnostic criteria from Durie-Salmon (DS) criteria to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) 2003 is an attempt to diagnose active MM earlier. However, due to limited resources, these diagnostic criteria cannot be fulfilled consistently in Indonesia. Based on this reason, it is necessary to know the proportion of MM based on DS and IMWG 2003 diagnostic criteria and also their impact on the survival of MM patients in Indonesia. Methods. This was a retrospective cohort study with survival analysis. Subjects …
The Role Of Continous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis In Equity Of Kidney Replacement Therapy In Indonesia, 2020 Divisi Ginjal Hipertensi, Departemen Ilmu Penyakit Dalam, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia/RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta
The Role Of Continous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis In Equity Of Kidney Replacement Therapy In Indonesia, Aida Lydia
Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia
With the increasing incidence of chronic kidney disease in Indonesia, an effective, sustainable and widely available kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is needed. PD is one of the available modalities that can meet those criteria. To date, out of the two existing types of PD, only continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is available in our country. Studies showed that residual kidney function is preserved better in CAPD patients compared to HD patients. With the use of CAPD as KRT, patients can do dialysis independently. Hence, it can be solution to the limitations and the difficulty of reaching HD units especially in …
