Proposed Organization of Family Cancer Clinics in Indonesia

AbstractAround 10-15% of breast cancers are associated hereditary and/or familial predisposition. By definition familial breast occurs in two or more first degree relatives within a nuclear pedigree (first or second degree relatives). Hereditary and familial cancer displays different characteristics in the pathological features, clinical course, response to treatment, and outcomes. Therefore, specific consultation and treatment need to be addressed to patients with hereditary or familial predisposition for example the need for rigorous surveillance and preventive treatment including options for preventive surgery. Cancer clinical genetic service is not yet formally available in daily clinical practice in Indonesia. Surgeons usually become the first medical specialist to see cancer patients with familial predisposition, therefore they have to elaborate clinical cancer genetic service under Family Cancer Clinic (FCC). Clinical genetic service within FCC consists of several step-wise tasks including assessment of personal and family history of cancer, personalized cancer risk assessment, review of medical and family history, individual cancer screening and surveillance recommendations, genetic testing if necessary, discussion of benefits and limitations of genetic test, cancer risk reduction options and preventive strategies, and opportunity to participate in research as well as clinical trial. Nation-wide network for FCC is of importance to share knowledge and skill to perform cancer genetic service. Ability to perform genetic test including the interpretation in Indonesia has also been required

The Neurological consequences of Early Life Stress

Early life stress can be defined as extreme stress or trauma experienced by a child during developmental stages. This type of chronic stress can cause far reaching consequences well into adulthood. The following literature review will focus on the neurological consequences from ELS exposure. Studies show that ELS exposure can be linked to decreased hippocampus volume and blunted mesolimbic pathway, potentially increasing the risk of depression. ELS is also associated with increased amygdala volume and increased attention bias to negative cues, which might increase susceptibility to anxiety. Furthermore, insults during early childhood stages can affect the functioning and development of cognitive circuits, resulting in impaired learning and memory as evidenced by human and rodent studies. Epigenetic studies indicate that DNA methylation and BDNF expression can be altered by ELS. Fortunately, some epigenetic modulations can be targeted for therapeutic purposes.Temple University.

Analyzing and Developing Aspects of the Artist Pipeline for Clemson University Art

Major digital production facilities such as Sony Pictures Imageworks, Pixar Animation studio, Walt Disney Animation Studio, and Epic Games use a production system called a pipeline. The term “pipeline” refers to the structure and process of data flow between the various phases of production from story to final edit. This paper examines current production pipeline practices in the Digital Production Arts program at Clemson University and proposes updates and modifications to the workflow. Additionally, this thesis suggests tools that are intended to improve the pipeline with artist-friendly interfaces and customizable integration between software and remote-production capabilities

Towards the Development of Broad-Spectrum Disease Resistance in Citrus

Transgenic plants expressing Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGC) and Bcell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2) transgenes have been shown to be resistant to fungal and viral pathogens. A PCR amplification product comprising CNGCcit open reading frame (ORF) with Xba I and Eco RI ends was generated, inserted into pRTL22 plasmid, transformed into E. coli, and sequenced. The 3.2 kb Hind III fragment of pRTL22/CNGCcit containing the CaMV 35S promoter with dual enhancer, CNGCcit, and CaMV 35S terminator was inserted into the Hind III site of pBin 34SGUS to generate pBin35SCNGCcit construct, and transformed into E. coli. The cDNA clone of bcl-2 in the pPTN binary vector was digested with Hind III to release a fragment consisting of CaMV 35S promoter, bcl-2, and CaMV 35S terminator and inserted into the Hind III site of pBin 34SGUS to generate pBin35SBcl-2 construct. These constructs along with pPTN334Bcl-2 were used in Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of sour orange rootstock, ?Rio Red?, ?Ruby Red? and ?Duncan? grapefruit cultivars. The presence and expression of CNGCcit and bcl-2 in the transgenic plants was verified by b-glucuronidase histochemical assay, nptII enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, polymerase chain reaction, Southern blot, northern blot, relative quantitative reverse transcription PCR , and quantitative real-time PCR. In this study, two transgenic ?Ruby Red? plants were successfully produced with an incorporated CNGCcit gene that gave a positive result with all the analyses. None of the putative transgenic plants was transgenic for bcl-2 gene based on Southern and northern analyses. Detached leaf assays of the transgenic ?Ruby Red? plants showed an enhanced resistance to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, Alternaria alternata, and Phytophthora nicotianae. Also, the leaves did not show any sensitive response to tentoxin. The citrus cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPXcit) genomic clone was isolated and characterized. Expression of cAPXcit in ?Duncan?, non-transgenic control ?Ruby Red?, and ?Rio Red? was suppressed due to A. alternata and P. nicotianae inoculations. However, an increased expression of cAPXcit was observed in the inoculated transgenic ?Ruby Red? leaves

Design of an FPGA-based parallel SIMD machine for power flow analysis

Power flow analysis consists of computationally intensive calculations on large matrices, consumes several hours of computational time, and has shown the need for the implementation of application-specific parallel machines. The potential of Single-Instruction stream Multiple-Data stream (SIMD) parallel architectures for efficient operations on large matrices has been demonstrated as seen in the case of many existing supercomputers. The unsuitability of existing parallel machines for low-cost power system applications, their long design cycles, and the difficulty in using them show the need for application-specific SIMI) machines. Advances in VLSI technology and Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs) enable the implementation of Custom Computing Machines (CCMs) which can yield better performance for specific applications. The advent of SoftCore processors made it possible to integrate reconfigurable logic as a slave to a peripheral bus and has demonstrated the ability in the rapid prototyping of complete systems on programmable chips. This thesis aims at designing and implementing an FPGA-based SIMI) machine for power flow analysis. It presents the architecture of an SIMI) machine that consists of an array of processing elements with mesh interconnection and a Soft-Core processor; the latter is used as the host. The FPGAbased SIMI) machine is implemented on the Annapolis Microsystems Wildstar-II board that contains multiple Virtex-II FPGAs. The Soft-Core processor used is the Xilinx Microblaze and the application targeted is matrix multiplication
