Cardiac Manifestation and Clinical Management Strategies in Patients with Fabry Disease and Muscular Dystrophy
DownloadFall 2023
Background Fabry disease (FD) and Muscular dystrophy (MD) are hereditary disorders with a high burden of heart disease recognized as a common cause of morbidity and mortality. The routine clinical care management of rare genetic diseases is complicated by extensive multisystem involvement, lack...

Developing an M3 Antagonist for Molecular Imaging of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Breast Cancer
DownloadFall 2021
The lack of the three targeted receptors, estrogen, progesterone, and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, causes difficulty in treating triple negative type cancers. Most often, patients with this type of malignancy have a low chance of survival. The focus of this work will be on...

Tracer Development for the Molecular Imaging of Breast Cancer: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of C-3 Modified 2,5-Anhydro-D-mannitol Derivatives as Potential Tracer Molecules
DownloadSpring 2016
Mammography is the most frequently used imaging method for the detection of breast cancer. Despite the key role of mammography in the breast cancer detection, false-negative diagnosis by mammograms ranges from 4 to 34%. Positron emission tomography (PET), a tracer based molecular imaging method...
