  • Paramyotonia Congenita
    Paramyotonia congenita Description Paramyotonia congenita is a disorder that affects muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles). Beginning in infancy or early childhood, people with this condition experience bouts of sustained muscle tensing (myotonia) that prevent muscles from relaxing normally. Myotonia causes muscle stiffness that typically appears after exercise and can be induced by muscle cooling. This stiffness chiefly affects muscles in the face, neck, arms, and hands, although it can also affect muscles used for breathing and muscles in the lower body. Unlike many other forms of myotonia, the muscle stiffness associated with paramyotonia congenita tends to worsen with repeated movements. Most people—even those without muscle disease—feel that their muscles do not work as well when they are cold. This effect is dramatic in people with paramyotonia congenita. Exposure to cold initially causes muscle stiffness in these individuals, and prolonged cold exposure leads to temporary episodes of mild to severe muscle weakness that may last for several hours at a time. Some older people with paramyotonia congenita develop permanent muscle weakness that can be disabling. Frequency Paramyotonia congenita is an uncommon disorder; it is estimated to affect fewer than 1 in 100,000 people. Causes Mutations in the SCN4A gene cause paramyotonia congenita. This gene provides instructions for making a protein that is critical for the normal function of skeletal muscle cells. For the body to move normally, skeletal muscles must tense (contract) and relax in a coordinated way. Muscle contractions are triggered by the flow of positively charged atoms (ions), including sodium, into skeletal muscle cells. The SCN4A protein forms channels that control the flow of sodium ions into these cells.

He completed his B.S. and M.S. from University of Kalyani, India. He received his PhD from Boston University. Dr. Roy’s seminal work has identified several genes in the retina that are abnormally expressed in diabetic retinopathy. His pioneering work has led to novel gene modulatory techniques in retinal vascular cells using antisense oligonucleotides via intravitreal injection. Dr. Roy has received numerous awards including the American Diabetes Association Research Award for the commitment and dedication towards the fight against diabetes, the 2006 Mentor of the Year Award from Boston University, and the 2008 Innovative Award from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Does Genomics Play a Role in Diabetic Retinopathy? Arup Das1, Sampath Kumar Rangasamy2, Finny Monickaraj1, David Duggan2, Nicholas Schork2 and Paul McGuire1 1University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, NM 2 Translational and Genomics Research Institute, NM Abstract Genetic risk factors play an important role in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Using a well- defined, clinical phenotype, we have examined the role of rare genetic variants in DR progression, or protection by undertaking whole exome sequencing (WES). We performed WES analysis on two cohorts of patients selected from Diabetic Retinopathy Genomics (DRGen) study population.

Tomsk Publishing House of Tomsk State University 2018 2 Essential trace elements in human health UDK 612:577.1 LBC 52.57 S66 Skalnaya Margarita G., Skalny Anatoly V. S66 Essential trace elements in human health: a physician's view. – Tomsk : Publishing House of Tomsk State University, 2018. – 224 p. ISBN 978-5-94621-683-8 Disturbances in trace element homeostasis may result in the development of pathologic states and diseases. The most characteristic patterns of a modern human being are deficiency of essential and excess of toxic trace elements. Such a deficiency frequently occurs due to insufficient trace element content in diets or increased requirements of an organism. All these changes of trace element homeostasis form an individual trace element portrait of a person. Consequently, impaired balance of every trace element should be analyzed in the view of other patterns of trace element portrait. Only personalized approach to diagnosis can meet these requirements and result in successful treatment. Effective management and timely diagnosis of trace element deficiency and toxicity may occur only in the case of adequate assessment of trace element status of every individual based on recent data on trace element metabolism. Therefore, the most recent basic data on participation of essential trace elements in physiological processes, metabolism, routes and volumes of entering to the body, relation to various diseases, medical applications with a special focus on iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), iodine (I), cobalt (Co), chromium, and molybdenum (Mo) are reviewed.

  • 2018 Celebration of Research
    UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA COLLEGE OF MEDICINE 2018 Celebration of Research Welcome from the Dean The annual University of Florida College of Medicine Celebration of Research affords me the opportunity to say Thank You. Thank you for the late nights, the papers written and reviewed, the grant proposals that have been funded and those that will be resubmitted, the patience that you have shown with the varied hurdles placed in the pathway of research. But most importantly, thank you for the passion that you employ to move the boundary of science knowledge forward. Your research vision and the work of your research teams are appreciated and valued. The discoveries and inventions that result from the basic, translational, population and clinical research at our university are transforming medicine. Thank you for your dedication to creating a healthier future for all. The College of Medicine stands proudly behind your efforts. Michael L. Good, MD Dean, UF College of Medicine Celebration of Research 3 POSTER SESSION & RECEPTION Monday, February 19, 2018 5:30pm – 8:30pm Stephen C. O’Connell Center Slow down and smell the roses The 2018 Celebration is already here. Where did the year go? 2017 was indeed another remarkable year of continued growth and progress for research within the College of Medicine, and 2018 is already off to a great start. We have all been running and seem a bit out of breath. Now it is time to slow down and appreciate the breadth and depth of the College of Medicine’s research endeavors and recognize how our research is directed at fundamental, timely, and significant areas of human health.
