2021-2025 Strategic Plan, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine
(Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, 2021)The VTCSOM Strategic Plan will guide our medical school into a vibrant future. In collaboration with our parent university (Virginia Tech), our health system partner (Carilion Clinic) and other community stakeholders, we ... -
A 4-year longitudinal neuroimaging study of cognitive control using latent growth modeling: developmental changes and brain-behavior associations
(2021-08-15)Despite theoretical models suggesting developmental changes in neural substrates of cognitive control in adolescence, empirical research has rarely examined intraindividual changes in cognitive control-related brain ... -
A 52-Year-Old HIV-Positive Man with Abdominal Pain
(Hindawi, 2015-01-01) -
A Molecular Mechanism Regulating the Timing of Corticogeniculate Innervation
(Elsevier, 2013-11-14)Neural circuit formation demands precise timing of innervation by different classes of axons. However, the mechanisms underlying such activity remain largely unknown. In the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), axons ... -
Aberrant early growth of individual trigeminal sensory and motor axons in a series of mouse genetic models of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
(2020-09-15)We identified divergent modes of initial axon growth that prefigure disrupted differentiation of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), a cranial nerve essential for suckling, feeding and swallowing (S/F/S), a key innate behavior ... -
Aberrant placental immune parameters in the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-infected cat suggest virus-induced changes in T cell function
(2013-07-19)Background Immune activity during pregnancy must be tightly regulated to ensure successful pregnancy. This regulation includes the suppression of inflammatory activity that could target the semi-allogeneic fetus. Tregs ... -
Abuse and Neglect in the Aging Population
(2023-03-26)A recorded AAFP presentation as part of their "Dementia: From Differential Diagnosis to End of Life" CME series. -
Access to Autism Spectrum Disorder Services for Rural Appalachian Citizens
(2020-01)Background: Low-resource rural communities face significant challenges regarding availability and adequacy of evidence-based services. Purposes: With respect to accessing evidence-based services for Autism Spectrum ... -
Accurate human microsatellite genotypes from high-throughput resequencing data using informed error profiles
(Oxford University Press, 2013-01)Repetitive sequences are biologically and clinically important because they can influence traits and disease, but repeats are challenging to analyse using short-read sequencing technology. We present a tool for genotyping ... -
Acetylcholine Receptor Activation as a Modulator of Glioblastoma Invasion
(MDPI, 2019-10-05)Grade IV astrocytomas, or glioblastomas (GBMs), are the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. The median GBM patient survival of 12–15 months has remained stagnant, in spite of treatment strategies, ... -
An Acoustic Sensor for Airflow in Pediatric Artificial Airways
(Elsevier, 2015-01-06)Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) is a rare benign pulmonary nodular lesion of unknown etiology. We present a case of a 5-year-old boy who was found to have a chest mass while being evaluated for abdominal pain. He ... -
Active inference and agency: optimal control without cost functions
(Springer, 2012-08-03)This paper describes a variational free-energy formulation of (partially observable) Markov decision problems in decision making under uncertainty. We show that optimal control can be cast as active inference. In active ... -
Acutely enhancing affective state and social connection following an online dance intervention during the COVID-19 social isolation crisis
(2023-01-16)The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many throughout the world to isolate themselves from their respective communities to stop the spread of disease. Although this form of distancing can prevent the contraction of a virus, it ... -
Adenovirus transduction to express human ACE2 causes obesity-specific morbidity in mice, impeding studies on the effect of host nutritional status on SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis
(Elsevier, 2021-11-01)The COVID-19 pandemic has paralyzed the global economy and resulted in millions of deaths globally. People with co-morbidities like obesity, diabetes and hypertension are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 illness. ... -
The adhesion function of the sodium channel beta subunit (beta 1) contributes to cardiac action potential propagation
(2018-08-14)Computational modeling indicates that cardiac conduction may involve ephaptic coupling - intercellular communication involving electrochemical signaling across narrow extracellular clefts between cardiomyocytes. We ... -
Adult Intestinal Intussusception Caused by the Gastrojejunostomy Tube: An Endoscopically Treatable Phenomenon
(Hindawi, 2021-06-11)Adult duodenoduodenal intussusception is extremely rare due to the retroperitoneal fixation of the second, third, and fourth parts of the duodenum. A majority of clinically significant intussusception with identifiable ... -
