Despite the recognized benefit of social studies instruction, emphasis on this subject has decreased over time, and ultimately been termed a “dispensable subject.” Social is an even more marginalized area for students with disabilities. Graphic novels (GNs) are popular independent reading choice both children adults; however, only recently have GNs started appearing as instructional materials in classrooms. Using Alternating Treatment Design (ATD), purpose study was to investigate any...
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is characterized by abnormal collagen metabolism in the submucosal connective tissue. Its influence on overlying epithelium not known but about 14% of OSF cases undergo malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma indicating association with abnormality epithelium. Here, we have defined keratin expression profile, immunohistochemistry and quantitative image analysis, using a panel 22 anti‐keratin monoclonal antibodies 28 samples. We observed an increase...
Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is a disfiguring and sometimes blinding disease, characterised by inflammation swelling of orbital tissues, with fibrosis adipogenesis being predominant features. Little known about the disease aetiology molecular mechanisms driving phenotypic changes in fibroblasts are unknown. Using isolated from fat undiseased individuals or GO patients, we have established novel vitro model to evaluate dual profile cells three-dimensional collagen matrix; this...
Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is a sight-threatening autoimmune disorder causing extraocular muscle fibrosis, upper lid retraction and eye bulging due to orbital fat expansion. These clinical features are mediated by aspects of fibroblasts differentiation, including adipogenesis fibrosis. Our previous work suggested that this dual phenotype might be manifestation mixed cell populations, partially linked the expression mesenchymal stem (MSC) marker CD90. Thus, we set out determine whether GO...
Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) is a rare, but life-threatening condition with predilection for the periocular region. Eyelid SGC can be broadly categorised into two subtypes, namely either nodular or pagetoid latter being more aggressive and requiring radical excision to save life. We have identified key altered microRNAs (miRNA) involved in shared by both hsa-miR-34a-5p hsa-miR-16-5p. However, their gene targets BCL2 MYC were differentially expressed overexpressed unchanged suggesting...
A shortage of certified teacher candidates nationwide is especially challenging in the field special education. U.S. rural school districts are even more impacted due to limited access universities because geographical distance. In this program description, we look at University Louisville’s fully online education alternative preparation (ATP) moderate severe disabilities, which was developed lessen and meet needs Kentucky. Both mentoring structure course information provided. Feedback...
