Fall 2016
Antemortem identification of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients is initially based upon clinical presentation of the disease. Symptoms are assessed in combination with results from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and...

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Evaluation of Oropharyngeal Airway Dimensions in Adolescents with Maxillary Transverse Deficiency
DownloadFall 2012
Objectives: The objective of this study is to analyze cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images to measure changes in oropharyngeal airway (OPA) dimensions after treatment with rapid maxillary expansion (RME), and compare these changes with those from a matched control group. Methods: This...

Investigating 14-3-3 Protein Subcellular Localization, Colocalization with Subcellular Markers and Interaction with Rac1
DownloadFall 2019
14-3-3 proteins are a group of widely expressed, highly conserved homo/heterodimeric acidic proteins. They usually bind to serine/threonine phosphorylated proteins, but also bind to proteins in a phosphorylation-independent manner. 14-3-3 proteins have over 200 binding partners. 14-3-3 proteins...

Plakoglobin (γ-catenin) is a member of the Armadillo family of proteins and a homolog of β-catenin with similar dual adhesive and signaling functions. The adhesive function of these proteins is mediated by their interactions with cadherins and their signaling function by association with various...

Oropharyngeal dimensional changes following maxillary expansion with two different appliances: a CBCT study
DownloadFall 2019
Capenakas, Silvia Patricio Gianoni
Maxillary expansion is used to correct maxillary deficiencies, the most common technique is the Rapid Maxillary Expansion. Although there are several other treatment types depending on age such as surgery or archwire; maxillary expansion, have been related to the increase of the upper airway...

Survival Benefit of Chemotherapy in Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients Treated with Surgery and Post-Operative Radiation
DownloadFall 2017
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is the third most common cancer of the head and neck. The incidence of all subtypes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has decreased over the past 30 years in Canada and most of the world except for OPSCC. The increasing incidence of OPSCC over...

Spring 2018
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most prevalent cancer worldwide with rates of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) dramatically increasing. The overexpression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone methyltransferase...
