Service-learning and civic responsibility in a sample of African American college students

Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program AND Program Evaluation

Blankson AN, Rochester SE.
GSID: yHOjY7obxAQJ
AN Blankson, SE Rochester… - Journal of College Student …, 2015 - muse.jhu.edu

In this study, we investigated the impact of past and current service-learning on the civic attitudes of African American college women: 44 students enrolled in either service-learning or non–service-learning courses were given pretests and posttests measuring civic attitudes. Repeated...

Immune Control Despite Protracted Lymphopenia After Chemoradiation in an Elite Controller.

Open forum infectious diseases

Reiss KA, Jackson DC, Piotrowski A, Grossman S, Blankson JN.
PMID: 26949716
Open Forum Infect Dis. 2016 Jan 29;3(1):ofw016. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofw016. eCollection 2016 Jan.

Elite controllers are human immunodeficiency virus-1-positive individuals capable of sustaining undetectable viral loads without treatment. We present the case of an elite controller diagnosed with extensive stage small cell lung cancer who maintained a viral load of

Candida esophagitis in a human immunodeficiency virus-1-positive elite controller with hepatitis C virus cirrhosis.

Open forum infectious diseases

Chen A, Shieh E, Brinkley S, Blankson JN.
PMID: 25734179
Open Forum Infect Dis. 2014 Dec 23;1(3):ofu111. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofu111. eCollection 2014 Dec.

We describe a case of Candida esophagitis in a human immunodeficiency virus elite controller with a preserved CD4 count, a population in which opportunistic infections are almost never seen. The patient has hepatitis C virus coinfection and compensated cirrhosis,...

Perisynaptic GABA Receptors The Overzealous Protector.

Advances in pharmacological sciences

Clarkson AN.
PMID: 22461789
Adv Pharmacol Sci. 2012;2012:708428. doi: 10.1155/2012/708428. Epub 2012 Feb 22.

An attempt to find pharmacological therapies to treat stroke patients and minimize the extent of cell death has seen the failure of dozens of clinical trials. As a result, stroke/cerebral ischemia is the leading cause of lasting adult disability....

Diversity in the US Infectious Diseases Workforce: Challenges for Women and Underrepresented Minorities.

The Journal of infectious diseases

Aberg JA, Blankson J, Marrazzo J, Adimora AA.
PMID: 28938047
J Infect Dis. 2017 Sep 15;216:S606-S610. doi: 10.1093/infdis/jix332.

Research documents significant gender-based salary inequities among physicians and ongoing inadequacies in recruitment and promotion of physicians from underrepresented minority groups. Given the complexity of the social forces that promote these disparities, their elimination will likely require quantitative and...

A CD3/CD28 microbead-based HIV-1 viral outgrowth assay.

Journal of virus eradication

Kuzmichev YV, Veenhuis RT, Pohlmeyer CW, Garliss CC, Walker-Sperling VE, Blankson JN.
PMID: 28435692
J Virus Erad. 2017 Apr 01;3(2):85-89.

AIMS: Latently infected resting CD4 T cells represent a major barrier to HIV-1 eradication efforts. The standard assays used for measuring this reservoir induce activation of resting CD4 T cells with either phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) with irradiated feeder cells, or...

The Delta-Subunit Selective GABA .

Frontiers in neuroscience

Neumann S, Boothman-Burrell L, Gowing EK, Jacobsen TA, Ahring PK, Young SL, Sandager-Nielsen K, Clarkson AN.
PMID: 31736685
Front Neurosci. 2019 Oct 29;13:1133. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2019.01133. eCollection 2019.

Inflammatory processes are known to contribute to tissue damage in the central nervous system (CNS) across a broad range of neurological conditions, including stroke. Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, has been implicated...

CD8 Effector T Cells Function Synergistically With Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies to Enhance Suppression of HIV Infection.

Frontiers in immunology

Veenhuis RT, Garliss CC, Bailey JR, Blankson JN.
PMID: 34394110
Front Immunol. 2021 Jul 29;12:708355. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.708355. eCollection 2021.

HIV-specific CD8 T cells and broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) both contribute to the control of viremia, but in most cases, neither can completely suppress viral replication. To date, therapeutic vaccines have not been successful in eliciting HIV-specific CD8 T...

Periodontitis prevalence and severity in an African population: A cross-sectional study in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.

Journal of periodontology

Hewlett SA, Anto F, Blankson PK, Tormeti D, Ayettey-Adamafio M, Bayitse P, Danso-Appiah T, Amoah AG.
PMID: 34724216
J Periodontol. 2021 Nov 01; doi: 10.1002/JPER.21-0329. Epub 2021 Nov 01.

BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is a major public health problem affecting many adults, with considerable variation in its prevalence and severity worldwide. There is little data on its prevalence or associated risk factors in Ghana making development of evidence based preventive...

Viral reservoirs and HIV-specific immunity.

Current opinion in HIV and AIDS

Blankson JN.
PMID: 19372799
Curr Opin HIV AIDS. 2006 Mar;1(2):147-51. doi: 10.1097/01.COH.0000203831.78479.05.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: HIV-1 infection is complicated by the presence of latently infected CD4 T cells as well as several anatomical reservoirs that present a barrier to eradication by current antiretroviral therapy. The early establishment of these reservoirs also...

HIV Antibody Profiles in HIV Controllers and Persons With Treatment-Induced Viral Suppression.

Frontiers in immunology

Kammers K, Chen A, Monaco DR, Hudelson SE, Grant-McAuley W, Moore RD, Alter G, Deeks SG, Morrison CS, Eller LA, Blankson JN, Laeyendecker O, Ruczinski I, Eshleman SH, Larman HB.

INTRODUCTION: Low HIV viral load is associated with delayed disease progression and reduced HIV transmission. HIV controllers suppress viral load to low levels in the absence of antiretroviral treatment (ART). We used an antibody profiling system, VirScan, to compare...

A Third Dose of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Increases Neutralizing Antibodies Against Variants of Concern in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.

medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences

Karaba AH, Zhu X, Liang T, Wang KH, Rittenhouse AG, Akinde O, Eby Y, Ruff JE, Blankson JN, Abedon AT, Alejo JL, Cox AL, Bailey JR, Thompson EA, Klein SL, Warren DS, Garonzik-Wang JM, Boyarsky BJ, Sitaras I, Pekosz A, Segev DL, Tobian AAR, Werbel WA.

Vaccine-induced SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses are attenuated in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) and breakthrough infections are more common. Additional SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses increase anti-spike IgG in some SOTRs, but it is uncertain whether neutralization of variants of concern (VOCs)...
