Professional Development for the Whole Team
by Karla Washington (@comokarwash)I entered graduate social work education in 1998. St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Mark McGwire broke the single-season home run record that year. Hearings were held regarding the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, and C éline Dion released a duet with R. Kelly, forming a collaboration that probably sounds preposterous to most people younger than 25. On the technology front, social media as we know it today was years away (Mark Zuckerberg was only 14). Google itself was less than a year old. Its corporate headquart ers were in a garage.Fast forward to 2018. I used Google to obtain 10...

CREB Signals as PBMC-based Biomarkers of Cognitive Dysfunction: A Novel Perspective of the Brain-Immune Axis
Publication date: Available online 12 January 2019Source: Brain, Behavior, and ImmunityAuthor(s): Nancy Bartolotti, Orly LazarovAbstractTo date, there is no reliable biomarker for the assessment or determination of cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. Such a biomarker would not only aid in diagnostics, but could also serve as a measure of therapeutic efficacy. It is widely acknowledged that the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, namely, amyloid deposits and neurofibrillary tangles, as well as their precursors and metabolites, are poorly correlated with cognitive function and disease stage a...

Drug Resistance During HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
AbstractClinical studies have demonstrated that use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with or without emtricitabine as antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can decrease the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition when medication adherence is high. However, the potential for PrEP to promote antiretroviral resistance remains an important public health consideration. We performed a search of the medical literature to identify studies that address HIV drug resistance during PrEP use. In this review, we summarize findings about emergent drug resistance during clinical trials of PrEP, case reports of sero...

How Exact Sciences Reinvented Itself
Ten years ago, Exact Diagnostics wasn’t a diagnostics powerhouse. The Madison, WI-based test had not yet gained FDA approval for Cologuard, its DNA-based colorectal cancer test. It didn’t have the support of insurers that it now has today. The firm was still very much in the state of transition. MD+DI spoke with Exact Sciences CEO, Kevin Conroy about the company’s past, present, and future.
MDDI: Let’s talk about a little bit about when you took over the helm at Exact Sciences. How did that come about, and what was the company like back then? What was ...

Tasked-Based Functional Brain Connectivity in Multisensory Control of Wrist Movement After Stroke
In this study we documented brain connectivity associated with multisensory integration during wrist control in healthy young adults, aged matched controls and stroke survivors. A novel functional MRI task paradigm involving wrist movement was developed to gain insight into the effects of multimodal sensory feedback on brain functional networks in stroke participants. This paradigm consisted of an intermittent position search task using the wrist during fMRI signal acquisition with visual and auditory feedback of proximity to a target position. We enrolled 12 young adults, 10 participants with chronic post-stroke hemipares...

A systematic search in databases, including MEDLINE/EMBASE, was performed to extract publication year, country of origin, study design; patients; mammography unit/vendor, radiation dose, low-/high-energy tube voltage; contrast molecule, concentration and dose; injection modality, ARs and acquisition delay; order of views; examination time. Of 120 retrieved articles, 84 were included from 22 countries (September 2003–January 2019), totalling 14012 patients. Design was prospective...
