War, Medicine, and Cultural Diplomacy (February 21, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48390 48390-11230554@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

Simone P. Kropf (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation/Fiocruz, Brazil)
Joel D. Howell (University of Michigan)

The United States and Brazil became close allies in World War II, not only in political, economic and military issues, but also in social and cultural ones, including science. Inter-American cultural diplomacy aimed to promote “hemispheric solidarity” against Nazism created channels through which scientific ideas and technologies could circulate. This talk is about one of those flows, between the University of Michigan Medical School and Brazilian physicians engaged in the study and treatment of heart disease. Frank Wilson was a pioneer in electrocardiography who trained many Latin Americans in his laboratory at the University of Michigan. In 1942, he made an extended wartime visit to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo sponsored by the US Department of State as part of Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor Policy. The visit brought Wilson together with a group of physicians engaged in constructing the specialty of cardiology in Brazil. This initiative strengthened an academic network that would benefit both sides. While affiliation with the “Wilson school” advanced the cause of Brazilian cardiologists who sought to establish themselves as specialists, cooperation with those “neighbors from the South” and the identity as a scientific ambassador to Latin America benefited Wilson in his pursuit of international recognition for his ECG innovations. Wilson’s relationship to Brazilian cardiology illustrates close relations between science, technology and politics in a context of wartime cultural diplomacy, as well as the dynamics of the transnational circulation of scientific knowledge and practices.

This research was supported by the UM Brazil Initiative at the Center of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) (website: https://www.ii.umich.edu/lacs/brazil-initiative.html), the Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz, Brazil).

Simone P. Kropf holds a PhD in History from the Universidade Federal Fluminense, in Brazil, and is a professor in the Graduate Program of the History of Sciences and Health in Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, in Rio de Janeiro. She is currently pursuing a postdoctoral research visit at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS). She has written about the history of biomedical sciences in Brazil in the 20th century. She is currently doing research on the cultural and educational exchanges between the University of Michigan and Latin American countries between 1938 and 1945, in the context of the Pan-Americanism movement and the Good Neighbor Policy.

Joel D. Howell, MD, PhD is a faculty member in the Department of History and Internal Medicine, and is the Victor C. Vaughan Professor of History of Medicine at the University of Michigan. His primary research interest is in the use of medical technology in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Osteoporosis is a degenerative bone disease that causes a significant decrease in bone density and quality. It affects 73 million people worldwide and is usually diagnosed at fracture. Under-treatment of the disease can lead to preventable fracture, falls, and death; whereas over-treatment can cause associated negative effects, such as atypical fracture.

The changes to the collagen nano- and micro-structure and the changes in mineral to matrix composition are not fully understood, and these changes are important to better understanding the biomechanics of bone.

Thus, the lumbar vertebrae (LV) 2 and 4 of cyno monkeys that were treated, osteoporotic, or healthy were studied. One group was submitted to Sham surgery, and the rest were ovariectomized (OVX). Two years post-surgery, the monkeys were either treated with Alendronate, a Cathepsin K inhibitor, Denosumab, or left untreated.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) coupled to infrared (IR) spectroscopy was used for topographical imaging and chemical composition characterizations of the LV4. This data provides both structural and chemical data over a length scale that is applicable to the biomechanical properties of bone.

Location: Dana Building
Organized By: University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP)

This event is part of VegWeek, a series of talks on the health, environmental, and ethical benefit of a plant-based diet. This screening is in partnership with UM Sustainable Food Program's Movie Series, which highlights an array of sustainable food topics.

The event will be accompanied with catering from Jerusalem garden!

Forks Over Knives empowers people to live healthier lives by changing the way the world understands nutrition. As science has shown, chronic conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes can be prevented, halted, and often reversed by making one change that requires no prescription and is accessible to all: leaving animal-based and highly refined foods off the plate and adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet instead.

The documentary will be accompanied by a Q&A with Marc Ramirez, a former UM Football Player whose life was drastically changed after watching the film. Through the power of food, Marc reversed his type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, psoriasis, frequent heartburn, and lost 70 pounds.

Brazil Initiative Lecture. Dr. Celina Turchi on the Zika Crisis in Brazil: A Case Study of Interdisciplinary Approaches to Public Health (March 15, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50249 50249-11690345@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 15, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

In 2015, a mysterious increase in the incidence of microcephaly in northeast Brazil alarmed health authorities, physicians, scientists, and the public. The spike in the number of mothers who gave birth to babies with this profound neonatal malformation was mostly concentrated in the poorest areas of the country. Responding to a request from the Ministry of Health, Celina Turchi, a physician and epidemiologist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), the leading institution of biomedical sciences and public health in Brazil, immediately organized a collaborative network of epidemiologists, infectious diseases specialists, clinicians, reproductive healthcare practitioners, pediatricians, neurologists and biologists to identify the causes of the epidemic. These studies established the connections between microcephaly and infection by the Zika virus, a virus transmitted by the Aedes genus, mainly Aedes aegypti, and passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. In 2016, the World Health Organization declared the Zika virus to be the cause of a global public health emergency.

The response Turchi led to the Zika crisis offers a model of how collaborative groups of scientists and interdisciplinary research can meet the needs of the population, especially the most vulnerable, in societies stratified by social and economic inequality. Her leadership has been internationally recognized. In 2016, she was considered by Nature International Weekly Journal of Science as one of the ten most important scientists in the world; and in 2017, Time magazine listed Turchi a pioneer in her field and one of the world's 100 Most Influential People.

In her talk at the University of Michigan, Turchi will discuss her experience in addressing the Zika crisis, including her ongoing work with the interdisciplinary Microcephaly Epidemics Research Group.

CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Childbirth and the Arts of Judgment in Medieval Japan (March 29, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/47262 47262-10855073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 29, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

The organization of childbirth in elite households of medieval Japan (1185–1336) required serious planning and decisive orchestration. Although the initial preparations for an imperial consort’s labour could take several months, what were to unfold inside the secluded birth chamber could easily escalate into both medical and ritual emergencies and necessitate a swift response from the consort’s female and male relatives, ritual specialists, physicians, and midwives. Based on recently discovered medieval Buddhist manuscripts, visual sources, diaries, and court protocols, this talk will focus on the “gendered choreographies” taking place inside and outside the birth chamber and the actions of people who inhabited such spaces during the tense moments of royal consort’s labour.

Anna Andreeva (PhD, Cantab.) is a research fellow at the University of Heidelberg. She is the author of Assembling Shinto: Buddhist Approaches to Kami Worship in Medieval Japan (Harvard Asia Center, 2017) and a co-editor of Transforming the Void: Embryological Discourse and Reproductive Imagery in East Asian Religions (Brill, 2016).

Joanne Murabito, MD, ScM presents "Genetics of Menopause Timing: Findings from ReproGen Consortium" (April 3, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51282 51282-12032778@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 12:00pm
Location: School of Public Health Bldg I and Crossroads and Tower
Organized By: Center for Midlife Science

Abstract: The timing of reproductive aging events including age at natural menopause (ANM) is associated with a range of impactful health conditions later in life that extend beyond reproductive health to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and overall mortality. ANM is also associated with epigenetic age and may be a useful phenotype to unravel mechanistic insights into aging. Within the ReproGen consortium, we conducted genetic association studies and identified genetic loci for ANM including a common variant in BRCA1, variants in/near genes associated with delayed puberty, and enrichment in genes in the DNA damage response pathway. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) followed by Mendelian randomization analyses to assess causal influences on later life outcomes will further our understanding of how reproductive traits impact the overall health of women.
About Dr. Murabito: Dr. Murabito is Director of the Clinic at the Framingham Heart Study and she is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. Her research interests include the epidemiology and genetics of longevity, healthy aging, reproductive aging and peripheral artery disease. Dr. Murabito is a member of the Genetics of Longevity Consortium and the ReproGen Consortium.

Dr. Arts is Medical Director of the UM Cochlear Implant Program, Director of the UM Neurotology Fellowship Training Program, and Director of the Children’s Ear and Hearing Center of Michigan. Initially a mechanical engineer, he learned in medical school about the newly-developed cochlear implant, an electronic device placed in the inner ear to enhance the hearing of the severely hearing-impaired. He knew 
immediately that he wanted to work on combining engineering and medicine to restore people’s hearing. .He is now a neurotologist

Dr. Art's research has focused on cochlear implants and other applications of engineering for the treatment of ear diseases. The cochlear implant is an engineering marvel that has changed the lives of nearly 500,000 deaf and hard-of-hearing adults and children worldwide. The device and patient outcomes have steadily improved over the last 30 years. There have been some dramatic advances in technology that can profoundly affect the world of hearing impairment.

This is the eighth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2017-18. A variety of topics will be covered. There is one lecture each month, for a total of ten. The next lecture will be on May 8, 2018. The subject is: Albert Kahn in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Daniel Clauw, M.D. is a Professor of Anesthesiology, Medicine, and Psychiatry at the University of Michigan where he also attended undergraduate and medical school. He completed an internal medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at Georgetown University, where he held roles including Chief of Rheumatology and Vice Chair of Medicine. He moved to the University of Michigan in 2002, with his research team,
becoming the first Assistant and then Associate Dean for Clinical Research, and the first PI of the University of Michigan Clinical and Translational Sciences Award.

Marijuana is becoming decriminalized or legalized in many states, often because of continued evidence that it may be an effective treatment for certain medical conditions, especially chronic pain. However, in addition to marijuana there are other options to exhaust before prescribing an opioid. This talk will present evidence regarding the potential benefits and risks of cannabis as well as other options that may be effective in the management of patients with chronic pain.

This is the third of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction. The next lecture will be May 10. The title is TREATING COURT-INVOLVED ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE USERS:

Attendees will gain an overview of what human trafficking is and how they can help victims that they may encounter in their field of practice, with a particular emphasis on healthcare settings. We will explore the root causes of human trafficking and our role in perpetuating and combating the underlying causes. We will take a critical perspective on what it means to help a victim of trafficking and well-meaning interventions, which may unwittingly cause the individual’s arrest or deportation. Further, we will examine guiding principles for successful engagement with this population, including trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and harm reduction. Finally, we will hear about local resources that providers can use if they suspect a client is a victim of human trafficking.

Speakers and panelist include:
- Elizabeth Campbell, JD; University of Michigan Law School, Human Trafficking Clinic
- Nicole McGee, PhD; Victim Assistance Program, FBI
- Wendi-Jo Wendt, MD; Michigan Medicine, Pediatrics-Emergency Medicine

Dr. Jennifer Waljee is an Associate Professor in the Section of Plastic Surgery. She has a B.S. and master’s degrees in public health at the University of Michigan and M.D. from Emory University. She completed General Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on patient-centered outcomes following surgery, including the efficacy of patient-reported outcomes, and she currently serves as a Co-Director of the Michigan Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network, or
Michigan-OPEN, an initiative that seeks to transform pain management and curb opioid abuse in the state of Michigan.

Opioid-related morbidity and mortality has reached epidemic
proportions in United States. Although much attention is focused on the role of opioid
prescribing for chronic pain, the role of opioid analgesics for acute pain and procedural care is less understood. In this discussion we will examine the role of procedural care in the opioid epidemic and statewide efforts in Michigan to develop best practices to curb over prescribing and enhance opioid disposal in our communities.

This is the second of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction. The next lecture will be May 3. The title is Managing Chronic Pain Without Opioids.

Marijuana is becoming decriminalized or legalized in many states, often because of continued evidence that it may be an effective treatment for certain medical conditions, especially chronic pain. However, in addition to marijuana there are other options to exhaust before prescribing an opioid. This talk will present evidence regarding the potential benefits and risks of cannabis as well as other options that may be effective in the management of patients with chronic pain.

This is the third of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction. The next lecture will be May 10. The title is TREATING COURT-INVOLVED ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE USERS:

The annual International Conference for Advanced Neurotechnology (ICAN) brings together engineers and neuroscientists to review recent technological advancements in neurotechnology and neuroscience and to define the direction of the field in the generation and application of next-generation tools to advance neuroscience and enhance translation of technology to the science community.

Significant advances have occurred to address the problem of scaling neuroscience investigative tools to interface with neuronal circuits and in defining the properties of elemental cell types that comprise these circuits. Yet, these advances have not fully met the complexity, or fully addressed the cellular and network features of the CNS required to accelerate our understanding of the brain.

Hon. Donald E. Shelton was a Circuit Judge in Ann Arbor, MI for 25 years, presiding over felony criminal cases, as well as civil and juvenile matters. He is currently the Director of the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at the University of Michigan (UM), Dearborn. Dr. Shelton received his law degree from UM, his master’s degree from EMU, and his Ph.D. from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has authored several texts and professional articles and is a regular presenter at national conferences on criminal justice and forensic science evidence.

Speaker’s Synopsis: Our prisons are overflowing and the costs in human and monetary terms are enormous. How and why have we sentenced the over 2.2 million adults currently in our prison systems? We discuss how judges decide criminal sentences and how politicians control those sentencing decisions. We discuss the impact of the “War on Drugs”, the fact that more than ½ of all federal prisoners are serving sentences for drug offenses, and the huge proportion of drug-related offenders in our state prisons. Alternative approaches to drug abuse are discussed.

This is the fifth of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction. The next lecture will be May 17. The title is ORIGIN AND TREATMENT OF ADDICTION

Mr. Dale Yagiela recently retired as Executive Director of Growth Works Inc., an outstanding substance use treatment agency for adolescents and young adults in southeastern Michigan. Growth Works staff members provide treatment services for about 200 individuals, ranging in age from 13-60 years of age, whose drugs of choice among others include alcohol, cannabis, heroin, and prescription drugs. Dale holds a Master’s degree in Community Development and Education from UM. He is a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the State of Michigan. Dale is well known as a dedicated therapist, an expert in the field of substance abuse, and as a tough, straight talking, advocate for children and adolescents.

Mr. Yagiela will briefly outline the history of treatment, discuss what traditionally was addressed and the various models, the notion of "recovery systems of care", and how we aid and support continued recovery, instead of focusing on pathology. He will address medically assisted treatment, the use of peer recovery support, the new intervention and detox model they are developing with St. Mary, the public safety departments in western Wayne County, the role of trauma in SUD, the need to treat it, and the need to sustain recovery engagement for five years following intervention.

This is the last of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction.

Medicaid expansion is much in the news these days, in Michigan and beyond.

Researchers from the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation are at the forefront of studying the impacts of expanding Medicaid to all low-income adults under the Affordable Care Act. An IHPI team holds the state contract to carry out the official evaluation of Michigan's expansion program, called the Healthy Michigan Plan, which now covers more than 650,000 Michiganders. Other IHPI members study other aspects of the issue.

This talk, presented as part of the Frontier Seminar series organized by Michigan Medicine's Chief Scientific Officer, will focus on the economic and health effects of the Medicaid expansion in Michigan. The talk will feature Renu Tipirneni, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, and Sarah Miller, Assistant Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy. John Z. Ayanian, IHPI director and leader of the Healthy Michigan Plan evaluation, will serve as moderator.

The seminar will be held from 4–5 pm in the Ford Auditorium at the University Hospital. The fast-paced hour will include two 20-minute presentations followed by 20 minutes of interaction between the two speakers, Dr. Ayanian, and the audience. Informal discussion will follow at a reception.

Constrained and Spectral-Spatial RF Pulse Design for Magnetic Resonance Imaging



Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a critical tool for modern medicine, providing a non-invasive glimpse inside the human body with excellent soft tissue contrast and no ionizing radiation. The radio frequency (RF) pulse in an MRI acquisition is integral to producing an image and can be tailored to particular applications. This thesis focuses on the design of RF pulses and explores the MRI physics, convex optimization problems, and experimental methodologies behind doing so.



First, we introduce constrained RF pulse design which enables efficient RF pulse design with meaningful, physical constraints such as peak RF amplitude and integrated RF power. We explore constrained RF pulse design for simultaneous multislice imaging, a powerful tool for accelerating MRI and combatting notoriously long acquisition times. Compared to a conventional simultaneous multislice pulse designed without constraints, our constrained pulses achieved lower magnitude normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) for an equivalent RF pulse length, or alternatively, the same NRMSE for a shorter pulse length. Constrained RF pulse design forms a basis for the rest of the dissertation.



Secondly, we describe a special class of RF pulses, “prewinding pulses”, that help correct for intravoxel dephasing due to magnetic field inhomogeneity, that can lead to signal loss. We propose a spectral-spatial prewinding pulse that leverages a larger effective recovery bandwidth than equivalent, purely spectral pulses. In an in vivo experiment imaging the brain of a human volunteer, we designed spectral-spatial pulses with a complex NMRSE of 0.18, which is significantly improved from the complex NRMSE of 0.54 in the purely spectral pulse for the same experiment.



Finally, we consider a slab-selective prewinding pulse, that extends spectral and spectral-spatial prewinding pulses to a common 3D imaging method. Here we integrate optimal control optimization to further improve the slab-selective spectral pulse design and see an in vivo improvement of excitation NRMSE from 0.40 to 0.37 and a major reduction in mean residual magnetization magnitude after a tip-up pulse from 0.18 to 0.02 when adding optimal control. This method has the potential to connect prewinding pulse design from the MRI physicist engineering workspace to a clinical application.

In summary, we show that constrained RF pulse design provides an efficient way of improving MRI in terms of acquisition speed (via multislice imaging) and image quality (via signal recovery).

The Effects of Mechanical Forces on Human Embryonic Stem Cell Behavior



The development of an organism from a zygote into a fully functional 3D individual is a process in which a strong coupling of morphogens and mechanical forces is coordinated with embryo shape. During development, cells communicate with each other through cell-cell junctions and with their microenvironment via mechanical cues to regulate cell fate, re-organize the extracellular matrix, and guide developmental process. Most studies on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) focused on how external soluble factors including growth factors and small inhibitors, gene and protein expression, and signaling pathways to maintain stemness or initiate differentiation of these cells. A various array of environmental factors including the effect of geometry and mechanical properties of extracellular matrix on stem cells contributes to altering stem cell fate. Recently, increasing evidence has revealed the importance of mechanical factors in affecting migration, proliferation and stem cell differentiation in vitro.



In this dissertation, we focus on the development and application of novel bioengineering approaches to understand the effects of mechanical forces on hESC behaviors and the directed differentiation of hESCs. Specifically, by employing a microfluidic device to induce controlled and regulated forces that apply global mechanical forces to adherent hESCs, we find that uniaxial substrate stretching disrupts the pluripotency circuit and initiates the exit of transcription factors, Nanog and Oct4, from the nucleus into the cytoplasm via a nuclear export protein (CRM1) as early as 30 min after stretch application and for 2 hours on a flexible substrate coated with Matrigel, and is not reliant on exogenous soluble factors. In order to pinpoint to the receptors responsible for mechanical sensing, we employ a novel technique, acoustic tweezing cytometery (ATC), that utilizes ultrasound pulses to actuate functionalized microbubbles targeted to integrin in order to apply cyclic strain to hESCs. We find that ATC-mediated cyclic forces applied for 30 min induced immediate global responses in the colony, including increased contractile force, enhanced calcium activity, as well as decreased nuclear expression of pluripotency transcription factors Oct4 and Nanog, leading to rapid differentiation and characteristic epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) events that depend on focal adhesion kinase activation and cytoskeleton tension. These results reveal a unique, rapid mechanoresponsiveness and community behavior of hESCs to integrin-targeted cyclic forces. Furthermore, we demonstrate an integrative mechanotransduction that induced neural rosette formation of hESCs via the application of ATC and induction medium. We observe upregulation of Pax6 and Sox1 in as early as 6 hours, following by neural rosettes formation in 48 hours, which is much faster compared to the typical 10-15 days needed with conventional neural rosettes formation protocols.



Together, this dissertation presents novel findings and insights regarding the effects of external mechanical forces on hESCs. Such information may help elucidate the mechanobiology of hESCs, and thus advance our knowledge of human embryogenesis, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering.

Humans must frequently adapt their posture to prevent loss of balance. Such balance control requires complex, precisely-timed coordination among sensory input, neural processing, and motor output. Despite its importance, our current understanding of cortical involvement during balance control remains limited by traditional neuroimaging methods, which are stationary and have poor time resolution. High-density electroencephalography (EEG), combined with independent component analysis, has become a promising tool for recording cortical dynamics during balance perturbations due to its portability and high temporal resolution. Additionally, recent improvements in immersive virtual reality headsets may provide new rehabilitative paradigms, but the effects of virtual reality on balance and cortical function remain poorly understood.

In my first study, I recorded high-density EEG from healthy, young adult subjects as they walked along a beam with and without virtual reality high heights exposure. While virtual high heights did induce stress, the use of virtual reality during the task increased performance errors and EEG measures of cognitive loading compared to real-world viewing without a headset. In my second study, I collected high-density EEG from healthy young adults as they walked along a treadmill-mounted balance beam to determine the effect of a transient visual perturbation on training in virtual reality. Subjects in the perturbations group improved comparably to those that trained without virtual reality, indicating that the perturbation helped subjects overcome the negative effects of virtual reality on motor learning. The perturbation primarily elicited a cognitive change. In my third study, healthy, young adult EEG was recorded during physical pull and visual rotation perturbations to tandem walking and tandem standing. I found similar electrocortical patterns for both perturbation types, but different cortical areas were involved for each. In my fourth study, I used a phantom head to validate EEG connectivity methods based on Granger causality in a real-world environment. In general, connectivity measures could determine the underlying connections, but many were susceptible to high-frequency false positives. Using data from my third study, my fifth study analyzed corticomuscular connectivity patterns following sensorimotor balance perturbations. I found strong occipito-parietal connections regardless of perturbation type, along with evidence of direct muscular control from the supplementary motor area during the standing perturbation response.

Taken together, the work presented in this dissertation greatly expands upon the current knowledge of cortical processing during sensorimotor balance perturbations and the effect of such perturbations on short-term motor learning, providing multiple avenues for future exploration.

Mobile brain and body imaging (MoBI) presents new and promising methods for moving traditional research studies out of a controlled laboratory and into the real world. Most current neuroimaging techniques require subjects to be stationary in laboratory settings because of both hardware and software limitations. Recent developments in mobile brain imaging have utilized Electroencephalography (EEG) in conjunction with advanced signal processing techniques such as Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to overcome these obstacles and study humans doing complex tasks in non-traditional environments. In my first study, I used high density EEG to examine the cortical dynamics of subjects walking on a split-belt treadmill with legs moving independently of each other at different speeds to investigate how humans adapt to novel perturbations. I found significantly increased low and high frequency spectral power across all sensorimotor and parietal neural sources during split-belt adaptation compared to normal walking, which provides insight into the brain areas and patterns used to accommodate locomotor adaptation. In my second study I combined multi-modal sensing and biometric devices including EEG, eye tracking, heart rate, accelerometers, and salivary cortisol into a portable setup that subjects wore indoors on a treadmill using virtual reality as well as outdoors in a public arboretum. Subjects walked for 1 hour each indoors and outdoors while completing a free viewing visual search oddball task in virtual reality and in real life. I reported on the methods for how to set this experiment up, synchronize all data, and standardize the data in order to make it usable as an open access dataset that has been made available to the public online. My third study used this data set to examine the P300 event-related potential response during both indoors in virtual reality and outdoors in the arboretum. I found a significantly increased P300 amplitude response across the centro-parietal electrodes that distinguished target flags from distractor flags during visual search for both indoor and outdoor environments. And finally, for my fourth study I used the same data set to look at the behavioral and neural correlates associated with gait dynamics when subjects walked indoors on a treadmill vs outdoors in variable terrain while also doing the visual search task. I found significant EEG power differences across multiple neural sources that showed increased spectral fluctuations throughout the gait cycle when subjects walked outdoors compared to indoors on a treadmill.

The collective studies in this dissertation present new ways of using mobile brain and body imaging devices to expand our knowledge of the neural dynamics involved in humans moving in complex ways and in variable environments outside of traditional laboratories.

Abstract:

Genetically-encoded biosensors based on fluorescence proteins (FPs) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) have enabled the specific targeting and visualization of signaling events in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolutions. Single-molecule FRET biosensors have been successfully developed to monitor the activity of a variety of signaling molecules, including tyrosine/serine/threonine kinases. We have a developed a general high-throughput screening (HTS) method based on directed evolution to develop sensitive and specific FRET biosensors. We have first applied a yeast library and screened for a mutated binding domain for phosphorylated peptide sequence. When this mutated binding domain and the peptide sequence are connected by a linker and then concatenated in between a pair of FRET FPs, a drastic increase in sensitivity can be achieved. It has also been increasingly clear that controlling protein functions using lights and chemical compounds to trigger allosteric conformational changes can be applied to manipulate protein functions and control cellular behaviors. In this work, we first engineered a novel class of machinery molecules which can provide a surveillance of the intracellular space, visualizing the spatiotemporal patterns of molecular events and automatically triggering corresponding molecular actions to guide cellular functions. We have adopted a modular assembly approach to develop these machinery molecules. As a proof-of-concept, we engineered such a molecule for the sensing of intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the consequent activation of a tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) Shp2, which plays a critical and positive role in various pathophysiological processes. We have further integrated this machinery molecule to the “don’t eat me” CD47 receptor SIRPa on macrophages such that the engagement of SIRPa and its activation of naturally negative signals will be rewired to turn on the positive Shp2 action to facilitate phagocytosis of red blood cells and target tumor cells, initiated by the specific antigen-targeting antibodies and their interaction with Fcg receptors. Because of the modular design of our engineered molecule, our approach can be extended to perform a broad range of cell-based imaging and immunotherapies, and hence highlight the translational power in bridging the fundamental molecular engineering to clinical medicine. We have also integrated with lights and ultrasound to manipulate the molecular activation of genes and enzymes, which allowed us to control the cellular functions of immunocells with high precision in space and time. As such, we can integrate fundamental science and engineering principles for biomedical and clinical applications.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder caused by collagen-related mutations which leads to increased bone fragility and low bone mass. Although the past decade has been marked by numerous advances in therapies that aim to stabilize the onset of metabolic bone disease, current treatment strategies leave room for substantial improvements. The studies that will be presented in this thesis focus on designing systematic treatments for two challenging clinical scenarios that require novel approaches. All studies have been approached in the context of OI using the Brtl/+ mouse model.

While the maternal skeleton goes through significant bone loss during pregnancy and lactation, this period of skeletal vulnerability can exacerbate an underlying metabolic bone condition like OI. In view of increasing use of bisphosphonates (BP) in premenopausal women to treat OI, the potential risks from long-term exposure on both maternal and neonatal skeleton during pregnancy and lactation remain inconclusive. When we assessed the maternal skeletal changes during pregnancy and lactation in Brtl/+ dams, pregnancy led to maternal trabecular gains in vertebral bone mass, while lactation induced maternal cortical and trabecular bone loss in both vertebra and femur. When BPs were administered prior to conception, bone mass gains due to pregnancy were amplified and lactation-induced bone loss was prevented. However, this protective effect was more modest with BP intervention during pregnancy, and ceased to exist in the late stages of lactation. Despite preventing lactation-induced maternal bone loss, no negative skeletal effects of BPs on offspring were observed. These findings indicate that during this period of significant imbalance between bone resorption and formation, BPs can help reduce the risk of maternal bone fragility in OI by inhibiting lactation-induced bone resorption without affecting bone development in their offspring.

The second half of this thesis explores clinical cases with a critically depleted bone structure, such as severe OI. These cases pose a challenge to current antiresorptive and anabolic therapeutics since their response mechanisms target different abnormalities in the bone remodeling cycle. In this study, rapidly growing Brtl/+ mice were treated with a combination of pamidronate (PAM) and an anabolic (SclAb) in order to attain superior bone mass and strength effects compared to monotherapy. Results from this study showed that following one cycle of combination therapy, a single dose of PAM in combination with SclAb led to a cumulative effect on bone mass, but each through independent means. PAM retention mechanism led to an increase in trabecular number as the dosage increased while no additional gains were observed with SclAb. Conversely, while PAM showed no significant effect on trabecular thickness, SclAb induced a consistent trabecular thickening across all BP dosages. Chronic effects of concurrent administration of BP and SclAb revealed that accumulating cycles conferred synergistic gains in trabecular mass and vertebral stiffness, suggesting a distinct advantage of both therapies combined.

Given the lack of knowledge regarding the effects of BPs during reproductive periods and lack of treatment options for patients with severe OI, this thesis provides valuable insight that can help develop patient-specific treatment plans. By understanding the changes in bone metabolism of the clinical conditions we are trying to resolve, and by combining this knowledge with our understanding of the targeted pathways of available pharmaceuticals, we can strategically and systematically optimize bone therapeutics so that the best clinical outcome can be achieved.

The study and learning strategies students often bring to college are often insufficient to help them succeed at the university level. Particularly in challenging STEM courses, students can't simply memorize or cram their way to a good grade. This workshop will focus on the popular learning strategies to avoid, as well as the top three strategies you don't know but are shown by research to be the most effective for long-term learning.

Improving Intracortical Microelectrode Interface Utilizing Nano-Architecture (September 13, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/54258 54258-13563460@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 13, 2018 9:00am
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Abstract: Intracortical microelectrodes provide a means to both treat and understand diseases and injuries of the nervous systems. A major hurdle to the clinical deployment of microelectrode technologies is recording instability caused by the neuroinflammatory response and lack of integration with the native tissue. The neuroinflammatory response observed after device implantation has been linked to oxidative stress that occurs due to neurological injury and disease. It is important to improve the understanding of the neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress response in order to develop next generation electrodes and treatment strategies. A potential strategy to mitigate this response involves understanding the disparity in architecture between the in vivo environment and commercially available intracortical microelectrodes. The smooth surface structure of intracortical microelectrodes implanted within the nanometer-scale architecture of brain tissue may contribute to the foreign body response. The factors examined in Dr. Ereifej’s work and how they are utilized to inform the future design of compatible intracortical microelectrodes will be discussed.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: We will provide a constructive definition of “Big Biomedical/Health Data” and provide examples of the challenges, algorithms, processes, and tools necessary to manage, aggregate, harmonize, process, and interpret such data. In data science, time complexity frequently manifests as sampling incongruency, heterogeneous scales, and intricate dependencies. We will present the concept of 2D complex-time (kime) and illustrate how the kime-order (time) and kime-direction (phase) affect advanced predictive analytics and scientific inference based on Big Biomedical Data. Kime-representation solves the unidirectional arrows of time problems, e.g., psychological arrow of time reflects the irrevocable past to future flow and thermodynamic arrow of time reflecting the relentless growth of entropy. Albeit kime-phase angles may not always be directly observable, we will illustrate how they can be estimated and used to improve the resulting space-kime modeling, trend forecasting, and predictive data analytics. Simulated data, clinical observations (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders), and multisource census-like datasets (e.g., UK Biobank) will be used to demonstrate time-complexity and inferential-uncertainty.

Using Systems Engineering to Inform Public Health Policies: A Simulation Model to Assess the Impact of Insurance Expansion on Colorectal Cancer Screening

Recent health care reform debates have triggered substantial discussion on how best to improve access to insurance. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an example of a largely preventable condition, if access to and use of healthcare is increased. Early and ongoing screening and intervention can identify and remove polyps before they become cancerous. We present the development of an individual-based discrete-event simulation model to estimate the impact of insurance expansion scenarios on CRC screening, incidence, mortality, and costs. A national repeated cross-sectional survey was used to estimate which individuals obtained insurance in North Carolina (NC) after the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The potential impact of expanding the state’s Medicaid program is tested and compared to no insurance reform and the ACA without Medicaid expansion. The model integrates a census-based synthetic population, national data, claims based statistical models, and a natural history module in which simulated polyps and cancer progress.

A brief overview of other precision medicine related research projects in Health Systems Engineering at NC State are also presented.

There is wide variation in the quality of total hip and knee arthroplasty (“replacement”) implants. A major quality indicator of an implant is the percentage of patients needing a revision surgery to replace implant components. National registries in Australia, Sweden, Norway, New Zealand report revision risk for individual implant models. Surgeons have used these data to choose better implants, resulting in improved quality. National registries also forced DePuy to recall its ASR hip resurfacing device by publicly reporting the poor outcomes for that implant. The only registry in the United States publicly reporting implant performance is the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI). MARCQI is a state-wide collaborative of hospitals and surgeons dedicated to improving the quality of care for hip and knee replacement patients. It collects and analyzes data from over 95% of all elective total hip and knee replacement patients performed in the state of Michigan. It uses these data to compute revision risk data for implants and publicly reports the results in an annual report. This talk will explain MARCQI and its first annual report that was released in 2017. The report is a “consumer reports” of hip and knee replacement implants. Possibilities for using Bayesian network and linear programming models to improve causal inference will be presented.

Richard Hughes received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan in 1991. In 1998 he returned to the University of Michigan as faculty in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. In the interim, he completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic and worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. His work today focuses on quality improvement in hip and knee arthroplasty. Along with Dr. Brian Hallstrom, M.D., Dr. Hughes is Co-Director of the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI). MARCQI is a network of 67 hospitals across Michigan that work together to improve quality of care for hip and knee arthroplasty patients by sharing best practices. He also developed and teaches IOE 413 Optimization Modeling in Health Care.

IOE 813 Seminar: Jeff Fessler (October 8, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56399 56399-13896796@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 8, 2018 4:30pm
Location: Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

Medical imaging systems like X-ray CT and MRI scanners produce raw data that must be processed by inverse problem solvers to yield interpretable images. The design of the image reconstruction algorithm can greatly affect image quality, and hence diagnostic accuracy, affecting patient health and even safety. This talk will briefly mention summarize some of the health and safety aspects of medical imaging and then focus on how optimization algorithms and machine learning methods can influence image quality.

Joint work with Sai Ravishankar, Il Yong Chung, and Raj Nadakuditi, among others.

Jeff Fessler is the William L. Root Professor of EECS at the University of Michigan. He received the BSEE degree from Purdue University in 1985, the MSEE degree from Stanford University in 1986, and the M.S. degree in Statistics from Stanford University in 1989. From 1985 to 1988 he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow at Stanford, where he earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 1990. He has worked at the University of Michigan since then. From 1991 to 1992 he was a Department of Energy Alexander Hollaender Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Division of Nuclear Medicine.
