We door-swings report a clinical case of a 39-year old male, without any known previous medical condition but with occupational exposure to paints and dust cement, who presented an autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) triggered by exposure to toxic inhalation at his workplace.PAP is a rare lung disease characterized by intra-alveolar abn
34380 Cadherin complexes recruit PIWIL2 to suppress transposons and pro-tumorigenic transformation
ABSTRACT IMPACT: This study has uncovered a novel surprising mechanism involving the epithelial adherens junctions and transposon regulation that can deepen our understanding of tumorigenesis.OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Recent studies show that genomic instability in 50% of tumors can be attributed to increased transposon activity, but the the reasons for th
Evaluation of a community-based trapping program to collect Simulium ochraceum sensu lato for verification of onchocerciasis elimination.
Collection of the black fly vectors of onchocerciasis worldwide relies upon human landing collections.Recent studies have suggested that the Esperanza Window Trap baited with a human scent lure and CO2 had the potential to replace human hosts for the collection of Simulium ochraceum sensu lato in Southern Chiapas focus, Mexico.The feasibility of ut
Earthquake prognosis using machine learning
One of the deadliest and riskiest natural 1m SMA disasters is an earthquake.They often occur without a warning or any further alert.Therefore there was a need for its prognosis as it is extremely important for mankind as well as the environment.In this project, the successful application of machine learning techniques have been used for different e
