Cryonics by sai snehitasnehitak7Cryonics involves preserving humans in extremely cold temperatures after death to stop molecular decay until future technologies can potentially revive them. The first person cryogenically frozen was in 1967. Today hundreds of people are cryopreserved, including baseball player Ted Williams. The cryopreservation process involves cooling the body to very low temperatures in a specialized facility. Some believe future nanotechnology may allow repairing damage from the preservation process and revival of cryopreserved patients through techniques like growing new bodies or mind transfers. However, critics argue the promises of cryonics companies cannot currently be fulfilled.

SPM pptravikalavakollu1. The cold chain refers to the system used to transport and store vaccines at temperatures between 2-8°C from manufacture to point of use to maintain potency. Proper cold chain storage using equipment like walk-in cold rooms, deep freezers, and ice-lined refrigerators is important for vaccine effectiveness and compliance with regulations.
2. Vaccines are biological products that lose potency over time if not stored at proper temperatures. Maintaining the cold chain ensures vaccines provide maximum benefit and protects scarce health resources by preventing wastage from temperature excursions.

Antons testDr Abhijith S.P.Listeria monocytogenes causes circling disease in animals with neurological symptoms. The bacterium produces the toxin Listeriolysin-O. To test for Listeriosis, neural tissue from a suspected animal is injected into the conjunctival sac of a rabbit or guinea pig. If the lab animal develops severe keratoconjunctivitis, the test is considered positive, confirming Listeriosis.
Lab 12 lvvalriveraThis lab used an ELISA test to simulate the sharing of bodily fluids and determine which students were exposed to and transmitted a contagious disease. The ELISA test relies on antibodies to detect antigens produced during an immune response to exposure. The results showed students 1, 2, 8, and 10 were infected, while students 1 and 10 transmitted the disease. ELISA is commonly used in real world applications such as pregnancy tests, disease detection, and testing for food safety and GMOs.
Virus neutralization testShareef NgunguniThe viral neutralization test is a serological method that detects the presence of viral neutralizing antibodies. It involves mixing dilutions of antibodies with a standardized amount of virus, incubating them, and observing for cytopathic effects in cell cultures. If the antibodies neutralize the virus, no cytopathic effects will be observed as the cells remain intact. While the viral neutralization test is highly sensitive and specific, it is also slow, intensive, and requires skilled technicians. It remains the gold standard method for diagnosing viral infections in the laboratory by comparing other test methods to it.

HIT Use in Primary Care Practices: Understanding and Eliminating Disparity UCLA CTSIUCLA CTSI and University of Minnesota Cross-Institutional Award Projects
Principal Investigators: Hector Rodriguez (UCLA) and William Riley (University of Minnesota)
Large-scale federal investments in health information technology (HIT) are intended to spur health care providers and organizations to share patient information to better coordinate and improve quality of care. However, the uptake of HIT has lagged in ambulatory care settings that care for high proportions of low-income patients. Our pilot study seeks to generate knowledge about facilitators and barriers to the spread of electronic health information exchange (HIE) for improving quality of care among underserved populations. We have established partnerships with two health care organizations: Citrus Valley Health Partners (CVHP), a provider network serving many underserved patients in the East San Gabriel Valley, Calf., and the Federally Qualified Health Center Urban Health Network (FUHN), a group of ten clinic organizations serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. We are conducting key informant interviews of physicians, front office staff, IT personnel, and executives. Through these interviews, we are learning about the barriers to electronic exchange of health information within the clinics and practices, between these sites, and at city-wide or regional levels. This multi-level framework elucidates the opportunities and challenges for ambulatory care practices serving underserved populations in adopting and sustaining HIT.

Evidence-based programs to reduce school truancyUCLA CTSIUCLA CTSI-Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) Projects
Principal Investigators: Raymond Perry (DHS), Tony Kuo (DPH), Lauren Gase (UCLA)
School truancy is associated with a variety of negative behavioral and health consequences. In addition, health factors may contribute to why students miss school. This project aims to gain better understanding of the characteristics and needs of truant youth in order to identify opportunities for improving school attendance in Los Angeles County. The project focuses on three research questions: 1) What are the characteristics and needs (e.g., academic, social, health) of truant youth?; 2) How do youth who cut or skip class encounter different school- community- and law-enforcement based systems?; and 3) What programs and policies can help meet the needs of truant youth? To answer these questions, we conducted key informant interviews with representatives from schools, law-enforcement, and community based organizations; in-depth interviews with youth who have school attendance problems; and a review of evidence-based diversion programs and interventions.
Immune MonitoringPamojaThe document discusses immune monitoring in vaccine trials. It provides context on regulatory requirements and the need for standardization. A variety of assays are used to assess cellular and antibody responses, including ELISPOT, flow cytometry, and neutralizing antibody assays [PRIMARY]. Challenges include the need for improved assays to measure antiviral function and mucosal responses. New technologies like single cell analysis and viral inhibition assays provide more detailed immune profiling but require significant bioinformatics support [SECONDARY]. The goal is to define immune correlates of protection to guide vaccine design, but this remains difficult without human challenge models [THIRDARY].

She emphasizes building relationships at NIH, identifying the best fitting funding opportunities, and making the most of preliminary K award research. Researchers should publish findings, present at conferences, and collaborate with senior scientists. When preparing an R01 application, researchers should clearly outline the proposed project based on significant preliminary findings and check that the research aims have not already been funded.
