The effects of low altitude on isolated mammalian arteries, intact murine circulation, and as a therapy for myocardial infarction and hindlimb ischemia in mice
DownloadFall 2019
Humans residing at low and moderate altitudes (500 m - 3000 m above sea level) have a lower risk of dying from many cardiovascular diseases in comparison to sea level residents [1-3]. We hypothesized the lowered barometric pressure at these altitudes enhances vasodilation in the systemic...

Association between Gut Colonization of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci and Liver Transplant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2020
Chiang Jurado, Diana Alejandra
Background: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) colonization is common in liver transplant candidates. In addition to the risk of invasive enterococcal infections, dominance of VRE colonization in the gut may contribute to low microbiota diversity playing a role in the transplant outcomes. The...

Mapping intracellular cytokine pools in granulocytes: Dynamic storage and trafficking sites of interleukin-9 and interleukin-13 in human eosinophils
DownloadFall 2020
Eosinophils are immune cells with constantly evolving roles in both innate and adaptive immunity and have long been associated with the predominant pathology of the human airways, asthma. Eosinophils are specialized in their granulocytic nature, possessing several membrane-bound secretory...

The Relationship (or Lack Thereof) Between Weight Loss and Health-Related Quality of Life in the Severely Obese
DownloadFall 2014
The impact of weight and weight loss on health-related quality of life (HRQL) in obese individuals and, in particular, the severely obese, is poorly understood. We completed a meta-analysis of published weight loss intervention trials; conducted cross-sectional analyses to examine...
