Chronic Pancreatitis II: Collaborative Care

Chronic Pancreatitis II: Collaborative Care

The management of chronic pancreatitis is multifaceted, involving a comprehensive approach that includes thorough assessment, diagnostic testing, and a variety of management strategies.

Polygenic Traits

Polygenic Traits

When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

The histone proteins in the nucleosomes are post-translationally modified (PTM) to increase or decrease access to DNA. The commonly observed PTMs are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination of lysine amino acids in the histone H3 tail region. These histone modifications have specific meaning for the cell. Hence, they are called "histone code". The protein complex involved in histone modification is termed as "reader-writer" complex.

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Community-based research
Transdisciplinary research
Health disparities

Background:

Transdisciplinary (TD) and Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) initiatives are often implemented in large, well-resourced institutions.
Less is known about the implementation of TD and CBPR in smaller academic settings with limited infrastructure.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the conceptualization, development, implementation, and sustainability of a TD and CBPR initiative at a small academic institution.
To emphasize the role of capacity building in this process.

Main Methods:

The study was conducted at a teaching-intensive Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).
It involved a collaborative TD and CBPR initiative, detailing challenges and lessons learned.
Focus was placed on capacity building despite limited resources.

Main Results:

A collaborative TD and CBPR initiative was successfully implemented.
Success was achieved despite limited resources, research infrastructure, and diversity among participants.
Continuous capacity building and community liaison roles are crucial for sustainability.

Conclusions:

Capacity building facilitates TD and CBPR implementation but challenges in community engagement and interdisciplinary integration persist.
Continuous reflection is critical for advancing TD and CBPR efforts.
These initiatives can positively impact health disparity reduction through diverse perspectives.
