It is my great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2019 Student Research Week on March 19th-22nd. Th e theme for this year’s 31st Annual Student Research Week event is “Animalcules Detected: Immune Response Activated.” We are extremely proud this year to host two outstanding and highly distinguished keynote speakers: Dr. Marvin Whiteley PhD, Professor of Biological Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Co-Director, Emory-Children’s CF Center (CF@LANTA), and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar; and Dr. Anice Lowen PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Emory University School of Medicine. I am extremely indebted to the 2019 Student Research Week Organizing Committee: Whitni Redman (Co-Director), Riccay Elizondo (Co-Director), Ksenija Korac (Director of Marketing), Bradley Schniers (Director of Operations), Josue Enriquez (Poster Competition Coordinator), Monica Sharma (GSA President) and Brianyell McDaniel (GSA Vice- President). Th ey have all done a tremendous job! I am particularly grateful for the hard work and assistance from Leslie Fowler, Pam Johnson, Deidra Satterwhite, Amy Skousen, Julie Forrest, Lisa Moran, the Department of Immunology and Molecular Microbiology, and the entire GSBS staff . Th ey have all done a terrifi c job! Also special thanks to Dr. Matt Grisham, the host department chair, and Dr. Betsy Jones for coordinating activities with the School of Medicine, all faculty, staff , and GSBS students for their eff orts and time. Finally, I would like to thank President Mitchell, Dean Berk, Dean Evans, Dean Smith, Dean Rice-Spearman, and Drs.

Our guest speakers will once again treat us with their “Refl ections on Graduate Studies,” with music, entertainment and dancing to follow! Special thanks to the GSA committee, especially GSA president Monica Sharma, for organizing and hosting the event this year. In conclusion, our event kicks off with the Vendor Show on Tuesday, March 19th. Please come and attend all the great presentations. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet our students, learn about their work, and discuss research in general. Let’s greet all of our speakers and celebrate our 31th Annual Student Research Week with a fully packed lecture hall. Th anks much and all the best! Brandt L. Schneider, Ph.D. Dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences 6 Greetings, WELCOME Welcome to the 31st Anniversary of the annual Student Research Week (SRW)! Th is is an annual event that is organized and run by graduate students at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Lubbock Campus. SRW brings together students from diff erent TTUHSC schools and campuses and gives them a chance to showcase their research and projects they have worked on all year. During SRW, students will be able to visit with biomedical vendors, share a poster about their research, and learn about some of the latest scientifi c developments from distinguished visiting scholars. Each year, SRW features a theme to highlight advances in a certain area of biomedical research. Th is year’s theme is “Animalcules Detected: Immune Response Activated” and is hosted by the Department of Immunology and Molecular Microbiology. Two outstanding biomedical scientists will give keynote seminars on March 22nd, which will highlight this topic. Anice Lowen is an associate professor at Emory University. Lowen received her PhD in virology from the University of Glasgow and continued post-doctoral training at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City where she researched infl uenza virus transmission. Her current research focuses on mechanisms of infl uenza virus evolution with an emphasis on reassortment and how this contributes to the viral ecology and epidemiology. Dr. Marvin Whiteley is a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Whiteley received his PhD in Microbiology from the University of Iowa and continued his post-doctoral training at Stanford University. His current research focuses on the social interactions between bacteria in biofi lms. Whiteley also serves as the co-director for the Emory- Children’s Cystic Fibrosis Center. Th ese two scientists are outstanding researchers, and we encourage everyone to attend their seminars and participate in the coff ee session on Friday for interactive discussions about basic science and other related topics. Th e SRW poster competition gives students the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a conference-like atmosphere.

Fusion occur between the lateral nasal processes and maxillary processes on both sides starting from the inner canthus of the eye and the median nasal process fuse with 2 maxillary process bilaterally to form the upper lip. The 2 mandibular process fuse in midline to form the lower lip. Developmental disturbances of the face I- Oblique facial cleft This is a developmental cleft start from the inner canthus of the eye to the ala of the nose or upper lip. It is due to failure of fusion between maxillary and lateral and medial nasal processes. It is usually unilateral but may be bilateral in about 20% of cases. II - Transverse facial cleft: This is a cleft running from the angle of the mouth towards the ear. It is due to failure of fusion between the maxillary and mandibular processes, and may be unilateral or bilateral, partial or complete (rare), extending from the angle of the mouth to the ear. III- Macrostomia and Microstomia: Macrostomia: it is an excessively large mouth. It is due to premature arrest of fusion between maxillary and mandibular processes bilaterally.

  • Physical Examination of Newborn by Dr Behzad Barekatain MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Neonatologist Academic Member of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences
    Physical examination of Newborn By Dr behzad barekatain MD Assistant professor of pediatrics, neonatologist Academic member of isfahan university of medical sciences 1 Swelling of the eyelids is common in newborns and resolves during the first few days of life. Subconjunctival hemorrhages are common. They occur during delivery and resolve in 1 to 2 weeks. 2 The normally white sclera is evaluated for changes of color. A bluish coloration, however, is present in premature infants and in other small babies because of their very thin sclera.also presents in baby with osteogenesis imperfecta. There may also be a mucoid discharge affecting the eyes, often called a “sticky eye,” in the first few days of life, which resolves spontaneously; if more prolonged, it is often from a blocked or incompletely canalized nasolacrimal duct. The eyelids can be cleansed with sterile water. This condition must be contrasted with the erythematous, swollen eyelids with purulent eye discharge seen in conjunctivitis. 4 5 ABNORMAL RED REFLEX This is one of the most important abnormalities that requires immediate evaluation. The term leukocoria is used to describe a white pupil seen by the naked eye or during the red reflex test. Leukocoria is not a diagnosis but rather a description of an observation. Because the infant sleeps much of the time and because the pupils are small, a white pupil often is not noticed until the infant becomes more alert and active. False-positive red reflex test results are commonly due to small pupils, shifting gaze, limited patient cooperation, poor illumination from the ophthalmoscope, and examiner inexperience.
