Claiming Territory and Asserting Indigeneity: The Urbanization of Nature, its History and Politics in Northwestern México
No full textThe 21st century has been designated the Urban Century given that over fifty percent of the world's population is reported to be living in cities. Indigenous populations are not alien to this demographic trend. In Mexico, an underestimated 35 percent of the indigenous population lives in cities. Over the last decade, the global demographic transition towards urbanization coupled with city-based indigenous activism has drawn scholars to systematically study indigenous urban experiences as forms of cultural resilience and innovation. Yet, little attention has been paid to the intersection between indigenous populations and the political ecology of urbanization as a dynamic process. This dissertation contributes to a better understanding of the intersection between indigeneity and urbanization by taking a political ecology approach to study the relationship between the Yaqui people and the city of Hermosillo in Sonora, Mexico. The Yaqui people--Yoemem--locate their ancestral homeland along the Yaqui River, about 220 kilometers south of Hermosillo. In the last century, however, they established diasporic communities across the Greater Southwest, including in Hermosillo. This dissertation specifically addresses three overarching questions. First, it asks how urbanization plays a role within indigenous Yaqui struggles over resource governance in a context where people have little political and economic power. Second, it asks how indigenous communities have adapted the cultural practices of their ancestors to marginal urban environments and specifically how they deal with the environmental and legal challenges imposed by the process of urbanization. Finally, it asks how analytical attention to urban indigenous struggles and indigenous accounts of those struggles present a more nuanced history of the urbanization of nature. These research questions were addressed through a mixed-methods approach that integrated twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork, comparative analysis of museum collections, and review of legal materials and documentary sources associated with indigenous rights and urban development at the municipal, state, and national levels. At its core, this dissertation integrates two related but yet-to-be-engaged theoretical discussions: anthropological critiques of the myth of the noble savage who belongs to nature, and political ecology deconstruction of the myth of the modern city that exists outside nature. Research findings indicate that situated urban indigenous experiences constitute an extension of indigenous territories into new areas. In articulating their indigenous identities the Yaquis of Hermosillo incorporate the city into their indigenous homeland, and in turn transform the political ecology of the city.Release 30-Aug-2015; temporarily restricted to redact images 6-Mar-2017. / redacted 2 images at author's request; after author approval loaded redacted version and made item publically available. 7-Mar-2017/ Kimberl

Popliteal artery entrapment presenting as acute limb ischemia: Treatment with intra-arterial thrombolysis. Case report and review of the literature
No full textPopliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a relatively rare condition, which occurs predominantly in active young adults who lack atherogenic risk factors. It has been rarely reported in patients under the age of 18 years. The most common presentation in the early stages is intermittent claudication; however, in the later stages of undiagnosed PAES, acute ischemia can occur as a result of complete arterial occlusion or embolism. We present a 14-year-old boy, who presented with acute limb ischemia which was managed with a multidisciplinary approach. © Springer-Verlag 2012.Anil G, 2011, CARDIOVASC INTER RAD, V34, P259, DOI 10.1007-s00270-010-9925-8; BOUHOUTSOS J, 1981, BRIT J SURG, V68, P501, DOI 10.1002-bjs.1800680720; COHN SL, 1990, CLIN SPORT MED, V9, P449; GIBSON MHL, 1977, ANN SURG, V185, P341; Henry M, 2000, J CARDIOVASC SURG, V41, P871; Kim SY, 2012, J VASC SURG, V55, P90, DOI 10.1016-j.jvs.2011.06.107; Ohara N, 2001, CARDIOVASC SURG, V9, P141, DOI 10.1016-S0967-2109(00)00110-1; Radonic V, 2000, TEX HEART I J, V27, P3; Rajan DK, 2009, J VASC INTERV RADIOL, V20, pS208, DOI 10.1016-j.jvir.2009.04.010; Ring DH, 1999, J VASC INTERV RADIOL, V10, P713, DOI 10.1016-S1051-0443(99)70105-3; ROSSET E, 1995, SURG RADIOL ANAT, V17, P161, DOI 10.1007-BF01627578; Sinha S, 2012, J VASC SURG, V55, P252, DOI 10.1016-j.jvs.2011.08.0500
Advancing Lung Cancer Staging: Integrating IASLC Recommendations and Bioinformatics to Delineate Tumor Origins
No full textAccurate distinction between separate primary lung carcinomas (SPLCs) and intrapulmonary metastases (IPMs) is essential for staging and treatment of multifocal non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables assessment of clonal relatedness. The proposed IASLC algorithm integrates histological and molecular data, though its clinical utility is yet to be validated.
We focused on the molecular component of the algorithm and assessed 240 tumor pairs from 120 patients with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples that underwent small-scale gene panel NGS testing (31-54 genes) within routine clinical care. Most tumors were adenocarcinomas (n=222), 18 tumors other NSCLC subtypes. Inconclusive pairs by molecular classification were subjected to large-scale panel analyses (531 genes). Additionally, we developed a bioinformatic method to complement and refine the IASLC method.
In total 22 tumor pairs (18%) remained inconclusive and 16 (13%) were classified ambiguous (probable SPLCs) using the molecular IASLC method. Re-sequencing classified 9 of 22 inconclusive pairs as IPMs. Using a newly developed bioinformatic method for clonality classification incorporating likelihood ratios of mutational prevalence and small-scale sequencing, only 3 pairs remained inconclusive (2%). Tumors classified as SPLCs had a significantly longer overall survival than IPMs.
Small-scale panel sequencing of biopsy material allows unambiguous clonality determination in 3 of 4 cases. Large-scale sequencing resolves about half of inconclusive cases. Our bioinformatic method reduces inconclusive pairs to 2% even with small-scale NGS. It is made publicly available as a Shiny App. Clonality is reflected in survival data and therefore pivotal in daily clinical practice.

Programmed death-ligand 1 expression influenced by tissue sample size. Scoring based on tissue microarrays’ and cross-validation with resections, in patients with, stage I–III, non-small cell lung carcinoma of the European Thoracic Oncology Platform Lungscape cohort
No full textPD-L1, as assessed by immunohistochemistry, is a predictive biomarker for immuno-oncology treatment in lung cancer. Different scoring methods have been used to assess its status, resulting in a wide range of positivity rates. We use the European Thoracic Oncology Platform Lungscape non-small cell lung carcinoma cohort to explore this issue. PD-L1 expression was assessed via immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays (up to four cores per case), using the DAKO 28-8 immunohistochemistry assay, following a two-round external quality assessment procedure. All samples were analyzed under the same protocol. Cross-validation of scoring between tissue microarray and whole sections was performed in 10% randomly selected samples. Cutoff points considered: ≥1, 50 (primarily), and 25%. At the two external quality assessment rounds, tissue microarray scoring agreement rates between pathologists were: 73% and 81%. There were 2008 cases with valid immunohistochemistry tissue microarray results (50% all cores evaluable). Concordant cases at 1, 25, and 50% were: 85, 91, and 93%. Tissue microarray core results were identical for 70% of cases. Sensitivity of the tissue microarray method for 1, 25, and 50% was: 80, 78, and 79% (specificity: 90, 95, 98%). Complete agreement between tissue microarrays and whole sections was achieved for 60% of the cases. Highest sensitivity rates for 1% and 50% cutoffs were detected for higher number of cores. Underestimation of PD-L1 expression on small samples is more common than overestimation. We demonstrated that classification of PD-L1 on small biopsy samples does not represent the overall expression of PD-L1 in all non-small cell cancer carcinoma cases, although the majority of cases are ‘correctly’ classified. In future studies, sampling more and larger biopsies, recording the biopsy size and tumor load may permit further refinement, increasing predictive accuracy. © 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology

Gene expression studies of lytic infection and chromosomal integration of human herpesvirus 6.
No full textHuman herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was discovered in 1986 in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases and it has a predominant tropism for CD4+ T cells in vitro and in vivo. The virus can be divided into two variants: HHV-6A and 6B, based on the differences in biological properties and DNA sequences. HHV-6B has been shown to be the causative agent of exanthem subitum while HHV-6A has no clear association with any disease yet. The genome for both variants has been defined and each encodes just over 100 open readings frames (ORFs). However, there is limited knowledge regarding the functions and transcription kinetics of most ORFs. This thesis discusses the development of DNA microarrays for HHV-6 and the application of the arrays to characterise HHV-6B gene expression in the SupT1 cell line. The expression pattern of individual viral genes over a 60h time course (<1 replication cycle) was profiled. Viral genes were further classified into three kinetic groups: immediately-early (IE), early (E), and late (L), according to their transcriptional activity in the absence of de novo protein synthesis or DNA replication. In addition, HHV-6 presents an atypical stage in the herpesvirus life cycle in which the viral genome is integrated into host chromosomes. The prevalence of HHV-6 integration was estimated to be between 0.21% to 3%. An individual harbouring integrated HHV-6 was previously identified. The molecular biology and gene expression of this integrated HHV-6 DNA were characterised. Expression of viral genes belonging to all three kinetic classes (IE, E, and L) was detected in vitro and ex vivo. The data strongly suggest that the chromosomal HHV-6 sequence is transcriptionally active and the implications of this are discussed
Use of Essential Oils in Bioactive Edible Coatings
No full text[EN] Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of essential oils have previously been extensively reviewed. The mechanisms of action of essential oils have not been clearly identified but they seem to be related with their hydrophobic nature. Applying these natural compounds in the food industry could be a potential alternative, but its application costs and other problems, such as their intense aroma and potential toxicity, limit their use in the area of food preservation. An interesting strategy to reduce doses of essential oils while maintaining their effectiveness could be the incorporation of these natural compounds into edible/biodegradable films. This review discusses the use of essential oils as natural antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds to obtain bioactive films or coatings. The advantages and limitations are also reviewed. © 2010 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC.The authors acknowledge the financial support provided by Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia (Project AGL2007-65503).
