TGF-β1 signaling is a critical driver of collagen accumulation and fibrotic disease but also vital suppressor inflammation epithelial cell proliferation. The nature this multifunctional cytokine has limited the development global inhibitors as therapeutic agents. We conducted phenotypic screens for small molecules that inhibit TGF-β1–induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition without immediate receptor (TβR) kinase inhibition. identified trihydroxyphenolic compounds potent blockers responses...

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a progressive neuromuscular disorder characterized by the gradual weakening and deterioration of muscles, leading to loss ambulation in affected individuals. This decline mobility can be effectively assessed using North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) scores, along with measures such as 10-m walk time taken rise from floor. We propose dynamic linear model predict trajectories these clinical outcomes, primary focus on NSAA scores. Our aims assist clinicians...

Abstract Compounding hazards are becoming more common due to global environmental change. To build societal resilience, there is a need focus on how people made vulnerable by our social, political, and economic systems that turn into disasters. Incremental adaptation, often piecemeal hazard-specific actions, will be insufficient for keeping pace with the rapid changes already underway. Instead, transformative adaptation necessary meeting this need, although pathways create as opposed...
Abstract Background Classic teaching is that spinal anesthesia safe at or below the L2–L3 interspace. To evaluate this, we sought to determine percentage of individuals with a conus medullaris termination (CMT) level L1–L2 Further, relationship CMT age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and pathology was examined, as reliability using Tuffier's line (TL) an anatomical landmark. Methods This retrospective study evaluated magnetic resonance images 944 adult patients level. The between height, BMI,...
Abstract Background The California Department of Public Health received serial spirometry data for flavoring manufacturing workers at 20 companies risk bronchiolitis obliterans. Methods We graded quality; identified individual with excessive decline in forced expiratory volume 1 s (FEV ) using relative longitudinal limits based on 4% average within‐person variability; and analyzed declines by occupational factors. Results quality 1,696 tests from 724 varied 17 providers, poorer commercial...
The Gulf Coast continues to struggle with service need far outpacing available resources. Since 2005, the Regional Coordinating Center for Hurricane Response (RCC) at Morehouse School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, has supported telehealth solutions designed meet high needs (e.g., psychiatry) within primary care and other healthcare organizations. overall RCC vision is support autonomous, useful, sustainable programs towards mitigating unmet disaster-related needs.To assess experiences, we...
Abstract Background Two cases of bronchiolitis obliterans in flavor manufacturing workers prompted California health and labor agencies to initiate industry‐wide surveillance. Methods Companies' physicians submitted cross‐sectional questionnaire spirometry data for 467 16 workplaces. We compared prevalence ratios respiratory symptoms, diagnoses, abnormal a general population sample. calculated odds risk factors spirometric obstructive abnormality. Results Flavoring were 2.7 times more likely...
We conducted a retrospective chart review to determine the effectiveness of treating idiopathic facial palsy with mirror book therapy in conjunction physical rehabilitation. compared outcomes 15 patients who underwent addition standard those 10 rehabilitation without book. Before and after treatment, both groups were rated according Facial Grading System (FGS), Disability Index-Physical (FDIP), Index-Social (FDIS). Patients group had mean increase 24.9 FGS score, 22.0 FDIP 25.0 FDIS all...
Measurements of breast arterial calcifications (BAC) can offer a personalized, non-invasive approach to risk-stratify women for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. We aim detect segment in mammograms accurately suggest novel measurements quantify detected BAC future clinical applications.To separate mammograms, we propose lightweight fine vessel segmentation method Simple Context U-Net (SCU-Net). Due the large image size adopt patch-based way train SCU-Net obtain final...
