Modeling focusing Gaussian beams in a turbid medium with Monte Carlo simulations.

Optics express

Hokr BH, Bixler JN, Elpers G, Zollars B, Thomas RJ, Yakovlev VV, Scully MO.
PMID: 25968708
Opt Express. 2015 Apr 06;23(7):8699-705. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.008699.

Monte Carlo techniques are the gold standard for studying light propagation in turbid media. Traditional Monte Carlo techniques are unable to include wave effects, such as diffraction; thus, these methods are unsuitable for exploring focusing geometries where a significant...

Capromorelin: a ghrelin receptor agonist and novel therapy for stimulation of appetite in dogs.

Veterinary medicine and science

Rhodes L, Zollers B, Wofford JA, Heinen E.
PMID: 29468076
Vet Med Sci. 2017 Nov 06;4(1):3-16. doi: 10.1002/vms3.83. eCollection 2018 Feb.

Ghrelin is a hormone, secreted from cells in the stomach, which is important in the regulation of appetite and food intake in mammals. It exerts its action by binding to a specific G-protein-coupled receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor...

Regression of Disc-Osteophyte Complexes Following Laminoplasty Versus Laminectomy with Fusion for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.

International journal of spine surgery

Ajiboye RM, Zoller SD, Ashana AA, Sharma A, Sheppard W, Holly LT.
PMID: 28765801
Int J Spine Surg. 2017 Jun 12;11:17. doi: 10.14444/4017. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Laminectomy with fusion (LF) and laminoplasty are two posterior-based surgical approaches for the surgical treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The decompressive effect of these approaches is thought to be primarily related to the dorsal drift of the...

Ghrelin- and GH-induced insulin resistance: no association with retinol-binding protein-4.

Endocrine connections

Vestergaard ET, Krag MB, Poulsen MM, Pedersen SB, Moller N, Jorgensen JO, Jessen N.
PMID: 23781325
Endocr Connect. 2013 May 21;2(2):96-103. doi: 10.1530/EC-13-0019. Print 2013 Jun 01.

OBJECTIVE: Supraphysiological levels of ghrelin and GH induce insulin resistance. Serum levels of retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) correlate inversely with insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to determine whether ghrelin and GH affect RBP4 levels in...

Clinical Application of a Modular Genomics Technique in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Progress towards Precision Medicine.

International journal of genomics

Zollars E, Courtney SM, Wolf BJ, Allaire N, Ranger A, Hardiman G, Petri M.

Int J Genomics. 2016;2016:7862962. doi: 10.1155/2016/7862962. Epub 2016 Aug 30.

Monitoring disease activity in a complex, heterogeneous disease such as lupus is difficult. Both over- and undertreatment lead to damage. Current standard of care serologies are unreliable. Better measures of disease activity are necessary as we move into the...

Murine Liver Organoids as a Genetically Flexible System to Study Liver Cancer .

Hepatology communications

The rising incidence of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) coupled with a low 5-year survival rate that remains below 10% delineates the urgent need for more effective treatment strategies. Although several recent studies provided detailed information on the genetic landscape of this...

Interventions to improve social connections: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology

Zagic D, Wuthrich VM, Rapee RM, Wolters N.
PMID: 34796368
Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol. 2021 Nov 18; doi: 10.1007/s00127-021-02191-w. Epub 2021 Nov 18.

PURPOSE: The importance of both frequent and high-quality social connections is widely recognised. Previous reviews of interventions for promoting social connections found mixed results due to the inclusion of uncontrolled studies and merging of objective and subjective dimensions of...

Reducing Mental Health Stigma Through Identification With Video Game Avatars With Mental Illness.

Frontiers in psychology

Ferchaud A, Seibert J, Sellers N, Escobar Salazar N.
PMID: 33013585
Front Psychol. 2020 Sep 09;11:2240. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.02240. eCollection 2020.

This study examines how playing a video game featuring a player-character with mental illness can positively impact mental illness stigma. We hypothesized that interactive gameplay would positively predict transportation into the story world. Then, transportation would predict identification with...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), besides causing human infection, has been shown to naturally infect several susceptible animal species including large cats (tigers, lions, pumas, spotted leopards), dogs, cats, ferrets, gorillas and minks. Cats...

Evaluation of 2-methoxyestradiol serum levels as a potential prognostic marker in malignant melanoma.

Molecular and clinical oncology

Hrgovic I, Kleemann J, Doll M, Loquai C, Weid F, Louwen F, Zoeller N, Kippenberger S, Kaufmann R, Meissner M.
PMID: 34094539
Mol Clin Oncol. 2021 Jul;15(1):141. doi: 10.3892/mco.2021.2303. Epub 2021 May 23.

Experimental findings indicated that 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME), an endogenous metabolite of 17β-estradiol, may exhibit anti-tumorigenic properties in various types of tumour, such as melanoma and endometrial carcinoma. In patients with endometrial cancer, the serum levels of 2-ME are decreased compared...
