The authors present a stereotypical case presentation of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and provide a review of the pathophysiology and related pharmacology of this condition, primarily focusing on the FDA-approved medication...
Behavioural responses to communicative signals combine input from multiple sensory modalities and signal compensation theory predicts that evolutionary shifts in one sensory modality could impact the response to signals in...
Colorful ornaments are important visual signals for animal communication that can provide critical information about the quality of the signaler. In this study, we focused on different color characteristics of the abdominal...
The increase in our aging population in combination with the growing incidence of late-life conditions presents a need for research on healthy aging. Here, we present work examining the roles of sphingolipid metabolism on...
A Christian never gains all that Scripture offers by reading it with just one approach. Yet too often this is attempted--whether through an academic obsession with the historical-critical method or through a consumerist...
Women in medicine have made progress since Elizabeth Blackwell: the first women to receive her medical degree in the United States in 1849. Yet although women currently represent just over one-half of medical school applicants...
The article demonstrates a need and placement of Roman Catholic pastoral theology and serves to offer important revelations about the state of pastoral theology in the Catholic tradition. The overarching goal of this article is...
Donald Jackson, calligrapher to the Queen of England, envisioned of The St. John’s Bible in 1995; he found a patron in the monks at St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota. While this manuscript is a product of the...
Today’s students come to college with widely varying academic skills, approaches to learning, and motivation levels. Many students have found it particularly difficult to learn remotely and have lost motivation. This session...
BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE REVIEW: Hand hygiene (HH) is the number one way to reduce healthcare associated infections (HAI). These infections account for increased morbidity and mortality and are linked with poor HH among...
Increased patient reliance on Internet-based health information has amplified the need for comprehensible online patient education articles. As suggested by the AMA and NIH, spine fusion articles should be between a 4th and 6th...
Community Health Needs Assessments and the developed strategies corresponding to any findings provide opportunities to improve the health of communities by targeted, coordinated efforts to meet the community needs. Thomas...
A smartphone conveying gameplay movement instructions via encasement in a glowing football was designed to increase fitness and reduce obesity. While smartphone geolocation apps have flourished, people's ability to interact...
The over accumulation of misfolded protein aggregates is a key contributor in neurodegeneration associated with diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In a...
Context: Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, the epidemic diarrheal disease. The colonization and subsequent diarrheal symptoms are produced due to toxin coregulated pilus (TCP) and cholerae toxin (CT)...
Context. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) refers to the combination of abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia or insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. MetS has been associated with morbidity and mortality after a variety of...
Students frequently report difficulty learning information presented at the end of long study sequences. Prior research has shown that information presented earlier in a study sequence interferes with learning of information...
Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is rare but has been identified in trauma victims with increasing frequency in recent years due to improvements in imaging techniques and screening protocols. The incidence of BCVI is...
Introduction: According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC), ensuring student access to needed physical and mental health care improves attendance, behavior, and achievement in the classroom. Academic...
In order to determine if loss of cell wall integrity contributes to boric acid toxicity towards wild type and drug resistant Candida organisms, yeast growth in osmoprotective-high-sorbitol medium was compared to growth...
Context: In states of health, bone mass is sustained in a coordinated effort by osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. WNT signaling through low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 5/6 (LRP5/LRP6) is one of the...
Context: Patients with large staghorn calculi are commonly treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL access can be technically challenging and has potential to result in significant radiation exposure to both the...
Current therapies for low bone mass consist of inhibiting osteoclast activity or increasing the PTH or Wnt signaling pathways. These approaches have significant drawbacks that limit their use in specific patient populations...
There are limited data regarding the level of research experience and/or interest among osteopathic medical students despite a rapidly increasing enrollment and expansion of the number of osteopathic medical schools. A 2016...
Osteoporosis is a disease of low bone mass resulting from bone resorption exceeding bone formation that places individuals at enhanced risk for fracture, disability, and death. There is an urgent and unmet need for novel...
30 cm from heart level; CVAR), venoarteriolar response plus a decrease in perfusion pressure (venous occlusion by proximal cuff inflation; CVAR with DPP), and ischemia (arterial occlusion by proximal cuff inflation) and sweat...
1.0°C. Arm and leg SkBF (laser-Doppler flowmetry) was decreased by engaging the venoarteriolar response (limb lowered ~30 cm from heart level; CVAR), venoarteriolar response plus a decrease in perfusion pressure (venous...
Context: Though anatomy is a vital part of a medical student’s education, three-dimensional visualization often ends in the laboratory, months into a medical student’s journey to becoming a physician. Many physicians would...
Osteoporosis, a disease of low bone mineral density, affects 10 million Americans and triggers significant health problems and considerable socioeconomic burdens. Current treatments for osteoporosis have significant...
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mineral density due to the rate of bone resorption exceeding that of bone formation. Substantial evidence indicates the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) pathway promotes bone...
The Activin and BMP signaling pathways exert reciprocal effects on myogenesis and skeletal muscle regeneration after injury. Signal transduction in both pathways is mediated by ligand- induced activation of transcriptional...
