Letter From Chair
Dr. Solomon presented a talk and poster at the 39th Annual Autumn Immunology Conference in Chicago on his work studying the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factors in lymphangiogenesis in filarial and cancer patients. The chair, Dr. Poojary, observed that Dr. Solomon's talk effectively explained the conceptual understanding of his work. Dr. Poojary suggested that expanding the study to include a larger number of subjects, around 100 patients, and obtaining more funding could lead to publishing the work in a higher impact journal and identifying potential drug targets for lymphedema. Dr. Poojary wished Dr. Solomon the best in continuing and advancing this promising research.

2016 Undergraduate Symposium Abstract
Emma Weimer analyzes the distribution and usage of insecticide-treated malaria nets in malaria-stricken countries. Observations and studies show that the nets are often not used as intended for preventing malaria, but instead as fishing nets. This allows the insecticides to dissipate in water sources and potentially poison people. Weimer argues that this misuse is due to Western medical professionals failing to properly communicate the purpose and benefits of the nets to local populations. To increase effectiveness, Western health efforts need to shift their focus to improving cultural understanding and ensuring concepts are clearly explained.

The document summarizes two scientific articles about recent medical research findings. The first article identifies the genetic cause of a new vascular disease. The second finds an unexpected new mechanism behind rheumatoid arthritis. The student observes that further understanding disease pathology at the molecular level can help develop new treatment strategies and guidelines. Medical research that discovers new techniques and identifies disease-causing genes can provide solutions for many health conditions.

The document proposes that there should not be any law requiring everyone in the United States to be vaccinated. It provides two reasons for this: 1) vaccinations are not directly correlated with declines in sickness and disease, and 2) vaccinations have proven ineffective and even deadly in some cases. Studies are cited showing the ineffectiveness of some vaccines and cases of deaths resulting from vaccines. Personal experiences are also mentioned. The proposal concludes by stating it is not suggesting vaccines should be abolished, but that the government should not mandate vaccines without exemptions given the issues raised.

This document is an undergraduate thesis that examines the pharmaceutical industry and alternative medicine. It argues that while Western medicine has improved health outcomes for some acute illnesses, the over-reliance on drugs has significant downsides. Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US, with pharmaceutical companies more focused on profits than patient safety. The document also suggests that several holistic doctors working on alternative cancer treatments may have been murdered to protect the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry.

The document summarizes research on the quality of health news coverage and discusses why improving coverage matters and what doctors can do to help. Key findings include:
- Many news stories do not adequately report on the benefits and risks of medical treatments, tests, and drugs or mention costs.
- For many groups, media and doctors are the top sources of health information, so inaccurate coverage can influence health behaviors.
- Doctors can help by developing relationships with reporters, answering questions, reviewing press releases, and providing context on new studies through their own blogs or comments to reporters.

Schwitzer keynote to ISDM 2013 Lima, Peru
Consumer-centered journalism that promotes patient-centered care could help address issues with how medical news currently impacts health behaviors. Research shows news coverage can influence information-seeking and health actions, yet most coverage fails to fully explain the evidence, costs, risks, and alternatives. By providing more balanced and complete information, consumer-centered journalism could help the public make more informed healthcare decisions that align with their own values and priorities. This may be especially important as new technologies and screening tests are introduced, to avoid harms from unnecessary or poorly-informed actions.
AvoidDrugsAndSurgery
Chiropractic care is presented as a preferable alternative to drugs or surgery for treating back pain. The document notes that 80% of Americans will experience back pain in their lifetime, and are often told the only options are drugs or surgery. However, chiropractic care, which focuses on drug-free spinal manipulation, has been shown to have better outcomes, lower costs, and higher patient satisfaction than other options. Experts now recommend considering chiropractic care before drugs or surgery to address back pain issues.

Predictive Probes (Art. 1)
by Jerry E. Bishop
Several years ago, Nancy Wexler’s mother died of Huntington’s disease, a hereditary and always-fatal affliction that strikes in midlife. Since then, Ms. Wexler, the 38-year-old president of the Hereditary Diseases Foundation in Santa Monica, Calif., has lived with the uncertainty of whether she, too, inherited the deadly gene.
That uncertainty may soon be resolved. A few months ago, scientists announced they were on the verge of completing a new test to detect the gene for Huntington’s disease (formerly called Huntington’s chorea). But deciding whether to submit herself to the test is an anguishing choice for Ms. Wexler. “If I came out lucky, taking the test would be terrific, of course,” she says. “But if I came out unlucky, well …”
Her dilemma is an extreme example of the kind thousands of Americans will face in the not-too-distant future as scientists learn how to pinpoint genes that cause or predispose a person to a future illness.
The test to detect the Huntington’s disease gene should be ready within one to two years. Researchers already have detected some of the genes that can lead to premature heart attacks and, in the near future, hope to spot those that could predispose a person to breast or colon cancer. Eventually, scientists believe they will be able to detect genes leading to diabetes, depression, schizophrenia and the premature senility called Alzheimer’s disease.
“This new technology has an extraordinary power to predict any disease where there is any kind of genetic influence,” Ms. Wexler says. “Instead of looking in a crystal ball to see your future, you’ll look in your genes.”
Doctors long have been able to crudely predict a person’s future illness. By studying disease patterns, for example, they can say that heavy cigarette smokers have 10 times the risk of developing lung cancer as nonsmokers and that middle-aged men with high blood cholesterol levels have higher-than-normal risk of heart attacks. Geneticists also look at family medical pedigrees to determine the chances of children inheriting any of the 3,000 known genetic disorders.
But such predictions are similar to casino odds. Doctors can’t predict which smokers will actually develop lung cancer, which individual will have a premature heart attack or which child actually inherited a defective gene.
Genetic probes, however, will change predictive medicine. The probes are synthetic versions of genes that cause disease. Tossed into a test tube with a small sample of a person’s own genetic material—his DNA—the probes cling to and identify their natural counterparts.
“Raft of Questions.”
Proponents of predictive medicine cite its potentially tremendous benefit in that it will allow, in some instances, people to take preventive measures to ward off certain illnesses. “But it also raises a raft of questions on almost every level—social, psychological, personal, legal and ethical,” says Ms. Wexler, a psychologist who h.

core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
