Project description:Despite recent advances in the management of BRCA1 mutated high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), the physiology of these tumors remains poorly understood. Here we provide a comprehensive molecular understanding of the signaling processes that drive HGSC pathogenesis and their dependency on BRCA1 mutation-state directly in patient-derived tissues. Using a multi-layered proteomic approach, we show the tight coordination between the ubiquitination and phosphorylation regulatory layers and their role in key cellular processes related to BRCA1-dependent HGSC pathogenesis. In addition, we identify key bridging proteins, kinase activity, and post-translational modifications responsible for molding distinct cancer phenotypes, thus providing new opportunities for therapeutic intervention, and ultimately advance towards a more personalized patient care.

Project description:This pilot clinical trial studies an electronic monitoring device of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and function in improving patient-centered care in patients with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing surgery. Electronic monitoring is a technology-based way of asking patients about the quality of life, symptoms, and activity using online surveys and an activity tracking watch may make it easier for patients to tell their doctors and nurses about any issues before and after surgery. Electronic systems of assessing PROs may increase the depth and accuracy of available clinical data, save administrative time, prompt early intervention that improves the patient experience, foster patient-provider communication, improve patient safety, and enhance the consistency of data collection across multiple sites.

Project description:In a randomized controlled trial, 82 older adults (>65y) with (or at risk of) undernutrition (n=82) were randomly allocated to 12 weeks of supplementation with a novel supplement (586 kcal, 22 g protein of which 50% whey and 50% casein, 206 mg ursolic acid, 7 g free BCAAs, 11 µg vitamin D) or standard care (600 kcal, 24g protein of which 100% casein, 4 µg vitamin D). Body weight increased significantly in the 12 weeks, both in the intervention group (+1.6 ± 0.2 kg, p<.0001) and in the standard care group (+1.8 ± 0.2 kg, p<.0001). Gait speed during 4m and 400m tests improved over time in the intervention group, whereas the standard care showed no improvements (time*treatment effects 400m: p=0.038 and 4m: p=0.048). Gene sets related to mitochondrial functioning were strongly upregulated in the participants receiving the intervention product. We showed that a novel oral nutritional supplement improves gait speed in older adults via improvements in mitochondrial functioning.

Project description:Interventions: Brief intervention name: Point-of-care clinical prompt (Prompt)
Materials and Procedures:
A point-of-care clinical prompt stating Encourage Participation in National Bowel Cancer Screening Program” will be attached to the electronic files of eligible patients (average risk patients turning 50, 60 and 70 years of age) within a general practice. These patients represent a sample of the population who will receive a National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) kit during the 12-month trial period.
The prompt will remind General Practitioners (GPs) to talk to their patients about using the free kit when it arrives in the mail on or around the time of their birthday.
National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) patient information brochures and posters will be available for general practitioner (GP) use as hard and/or electronic copies. Each GP in the trial will also recieve a sample NBCSP kit to show to patients during the consultation.
Mode of delivery:
The prompt will be set up by general practice administration staff within the electronic files of eligible patients. The prompt will be delivered to GPs as an electronic pop-up reminder at the start of a consultation.
When an eligible patient arrives for their consultation at a practice, the prompt will ‘pop-up’ over the patient’s electronic file. The GP will then decide whether to discuss screening at that point in time or whether to ‘close’ the prompt. If the prompt is closed, it will remain as an outstanding action each time the patient attends the practice until such time as the GP marks the task as ‘performed’ by checking the relevent box.
Additional resouces including patient information brochures and a sample/demonstration kit, will be made available by the GP during the consultation.
Frequency and duration:
The intervention will be trialled over 12 months. It is estimated that a total of 1750 patients will be eligible to have the prompt associated with their electronic file within the five intervention sites. This is the maximum number of times the prompt will be acted on by GPs.
Location:
The intervention will take place in five Tasmanian general practices located within Outer Regional and Remote Tasmania (Remoteness Areas 3 and 4).
Adherence:
GP adherence to using the prompt will be determined by the number of prompts that were marked as ‘performed’ compared to the number of prompts that were not.

Project description:Critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients commonly develop severe muscle wasting and impaired muscle function, leading to delayed recovery, with subsequent increased morbidity and financial costs, and decrease quality of life of survivors. Acute Quadriplegic Myopathy (AQM) is one of the most common neuromuscular disorders associated with ICU-acquired muscle weakness. Although there are no available treatments for the ICU-acquired muscle weakness, it has been demonstrated that early mobilization can improve its prognosis and functional outcomes. This study aims at improving our understanding of the effects of passive mechanical loading on skeletal muscle structure and function by using a unique experimental rat ICU model allowing analyses of the temporal sequence of changes in mechanically ventilated and pharmacologically paralyzed animals at durations varying from 6 h to 14 days. Results show that passive mechanical loading alleviated the muscle wasting and the loss of force-generation associated with the ICU intervention, resulting in a doubling of the functional capacity of the loaded vs. unloaded muscles after a 2-week ICU intervention. We demonstrated that the improved maintenance of muscle structure and function is likely a consequence of a reduced oxidative stress, and a reduced loss of the molecular motor protein myosin. A complex temporal gene expression pattern, delineated by microarray analysis, was observed with loading-induced changes in transcript levels of sarcomeric proteins, muscle developmental processes, stress response, ECM/cell adhesion proteins and metabolism. Thus, the results from this study show that passive mechanical loading alleviates the severe negative consequences on muscle structure and function associated with mechanical silencing in ICU patients, strongly supporting early and intense physical therapy in immobilized ICU patients.

Project description:The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends colorectal cancer (CRC) screening using fecal occult blood test (FOBT), sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy, beginning at age 50 and continuing until age 75. Despite this recommendation, rates of CRC screening remain inadequate and large disparities exist. Screening rates are lower among Black and Hispanic populations, in areas with high poverty rates, among individuals with low education, and for those who utilize Medicaid or lack health insurance. This study will determine the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention to increase the number of patients who have never been screened for CRC and are cared for at a community health center (CHC) that complete a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) within 6 months of randomization to an intervention group compared to patients in a usual care group. We believe that the proposed intervention will improve the CRC screening rate in a cost-effective and sustainable way, ultimately leading to a reduction in the high rate of CRC.
Aim 1: To conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine if a multifaceted intervention increases the proportion of patients who complete a FOBT within 6-months of randomization.
Hypothesis 1: Compared to usual care, the intervention will increase the proportion of never-screened patients who complete FOBT within 6 months of randomization.
Aim 2: Assess the costs of the intervention and the costs per additional initial screening compared to patients who receive usual care.

Project description:Bacterial meningitis is usually fatal without treatment and prompt and accurate diagnosis coupled with the timely administration of parenteral antibiotics, are necessary in order to save lives. The diagnosis can sometimes be delayed whilst samples are analysed in a laboratory using traditional methods of microscopy and antigen testing. The objective of our project is to define specific protein signatures in cerebrospinal fluid associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae infection which could lead to the development of assays or point-of-care devices to improve the speed and accuracy of diagnosis, and guide the clinicians in the treatment and prognosis of children with bacterial meningitis. The associated research paper is in preparation.
