Elucidating the Molecular Landscape of Cystic Kidney Disease: Old Friends, New Friends and Some Surprises

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cystic kidney diseases (CyKD) are a diverse group of disorders affecting more than 1 in 1000 individuals. Over 120 genes are implicated, primarily encoding components of the primary cilium, transcription factors, and morphogens. Prognosis varies greatly by molecular diagnosis. Causal variants are not identified in 10%–60% of individuals due to

CirrMRI600+: Large Scale MRI Collection and Segmentation of Cirrhotic Liver [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Liver cirrhosis, the end stage of chronic liver disease, is characterized by extensive bridging fibrosis and nodular regeneration, leading to an increased risk of liver failure, complications of portal hypertension, malignancy and death. Early diagnosis and management of end-stage cirrhosis are significant clinical challenges.

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for the development of liver cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis C patients

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We explored the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver cirrhosis in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). To examine the link between DM and liver cirrhosis, we conducted a case-control

Small Intestine on a Chip Demonstrates Physiologic Mucus Secretion in the Presence of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Biofilm

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Dash and coworkers have fabricated a small intestine on a chip, which encapsulates the physiology and biofilm of the small intestinal epithelium. The dynamic system showed villus differentiation within 5 days of flow, and the mucus layer and biofilm showed small intestinal characteristics.
