Written proposal
This document is a written proposal from Eduardo E. Rivera Cintrón for a study on whether excessive cell phone use causes glioma tumors and ipsilateral exposure in Puerto Rico. The proposal outlines background research showing links between cell phone use and brain tumors found in the Interphone study. It then describes the methodology for a study in Puerto Rico comparing cell phone usage patterns and brain tumor rates in two groups over several years. Possible results from the Puerto Rico study are discussed, noting factors like culture that may lead to different outcomes than international studies.
Reflexion on lisandra
Lisandra, a fellow student studying for her PhD in chemistry, discussed a review paper on proteomics biomarker discovery with Eduardo Rivera Cintron and other students. The paper explained that discovering biomarkers requires more than just mass spectrometry. Biomarkers could enable earlier disease diagnosis and improved treatment. New proteomics technologies developed over the past decade, such as shotgun proteomics, plasma/tissue analysis, and cell-based assays, have intensified the search for biomarkers. Lisandra emphasized the importance of biomarkers for medicine and the benefits they could provide through earlier disease detection.
Seminar 5
Ms. Comenencia, a graduate student from the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey, gave a seminar on her research into the modulation of GABAa receptor trafficking by neurosteroids. Her research focuses on how neuroactive steroids can alter the GABAa receptor and affect its presence in brain cell membranes. Preliminary findings suggest increasing the level of GABAa receptors in membranes through neurosteroid modulation may help reduce side effects of conditions like autism and epilepsy.
Sydney Kushner Seminar
Dr. Sidney Kushner from the University of Georgia gave a seminar titled "Polyadenylation Helps Regulate Function tRNA Levels in Escherichia Coli." He explained that polyadenylation is the addition of a poly(A) tail to an RNA molecule and that tRNAs in E. coli undergo various post-transcriptional modifications, including the conversion of adenosine to inosine. Through experiments separating tRNA fragments using enzymes, Dr. Kushner's team found that there is competition between enzymes that break down tRNA and that polyadenylation helps regulate the production and function of tRNAs in E. coli, findings that improve understanding of functional mechanisms within tRNAs.
Sonia Flores Seminar
Dr. Sonia Flores gave a seminar discussing the association between HIV infection and pulmonary hypertension. Studies have shown pulmonary hypertension is more common in those with HIV than the general population. Her lab aimed to determine the connection between HIV and pulmonary hypertension. Using non-human primate HIV models and human patients, they found the HIV-1 Nef gene was present in two patients with both HIV and pulmonary hypertension, but not in those with only HIV. This led them to hypothesize that changes to the Nef protein's amino acid sequence in those with pulmonary hypertension could alter vascular cell function.
Julio soto seminar
Dr. Julio Soto discussed his lab's examination of the potential anti-cancer activities of recombinant disintegrins. His study found that some cancer cells induce hormones to create blood vessels connecting to the cancer, complicating treatment, and that some cancer cells have fewer chromosomes than normal cells and can promote cancer growth. Preliminary experiments with various disintegrins found that two caused cell death, suggesting disintegrins may help inhibit cancer progression, but more research is needed to identify those that can inhibit blood vessel growth and metastasis.
Course 4997 Final Presentation
This study measured nitrate levels in a lake and river before and after an extreme precipitation event. Nitrate levels were higher after the event in both water bodies. The lake levels increased from 0.079-0.469 mg/L before the event to 0.469 mg/L after, while the river increased from 0.211-0.791 mg/L. The results suggest precipitation can increase nitrate levels in surface waters. Further study over longer periods is needed to better understand the impacts.
Reflective Essay (Course 4997)
The document reflects on a semester spent learning various lab techniques through workshops given by professors. These workshops covered topics like PCR, electrophoresis, and chromatography, and allowed students to apply the techniques. Students also attended seminars on topics like cancer, pulmonary hypertension, and neuroscience. The seminars helped students learn scientific terms and techniques for writing summaries. Additionally, students gained hands-on research experience by working with mentors on projects and conducting their own research for class assignments. Overall, the semester's activities helped students become better prepared for research both on and off the island by teaching important scientific skills and values like perseverance, focus, commitment, and teamwork.

Semiar 4 polymer drugs
Ms. Roselin Rosario gave a talk on April 12, 2012 about her research developing novel biodegradable polymer drug delivery systems at Rutgers University. She discussed how polymers can be used to deliver drugs like salicylic acid and morphine in a controlled manner over time through biodegradable discs, microspheres, and hydrogels. Her experiments focused on creating a polymer using polyaspirin to provide a controlled release of salicylic acid.
Propofol assignment
This case study summarizes the case of a 29-year-old emergency medicine doctor who became addicted to propofol. He began using propofol to relieve pain from kidney stones but later used it recreationally for its euphoric effects. He was using 200-300 mg of propofol per day when he sought psychiatric treatment. Despite treatment including medication and therapy, he left treatment after 14 days and was later found dead of a suspected propofol overdose. The case highlights the risk of addiction to propofol due its desirable sedative properties and ease of access, particularly for medical professionals.

Long term sequelae of nicu medications
A 100 years ago, when neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) started to be well established, the race never stopped trying to add new regimens to improve neonatal survival. On the other hand, long term sequelae of medications used at NICUs were usually not sufficiently studied and left mostly unnoticed for many years by neonatologists. Here we are trying to understand & & shed the light on some of these sequelae in a trial avoid those sequelae while working on NICU candidates.

Review paper
This document discusses buprenorphine as an alternative treatment for opioid addiction. It summarizes several studies that have found buprenorphine to be as effective or more effective than methadone in treating opioid addiction. The studies show buprenorphine can normalize immune function impaired by opioids, reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and show better outcomes for pregnant women and newborns with fewer withdrawal symptoms. Brain imaging studies also demonstrate buprenorphine decreases cravings by changing brain activity. While methadone has been the standard treatment, this document argues buprenorphine is a safer and effective alternative based on the evidence from these studies.

Subjects receiving 10mg/day of dronabinol expressed the highest overall satisfaction with treatment (p=0.04). In comparison to placebo, dronabinol dose-dependently reduced AHI by 10.7±4.4 (p=0.02) and 12.9±4.3 (p=0.003) events/hour at doses of 2.5 and 10 mg/day, respectively. Dronabinol at 10 mg/day reduced ESS score by -3.8±0.8 points from baseline (p<0.0001) and by -2.3±1.2 points in comparison to placebo (p=0.05). Body weights, MWT sleep latencies, gross sleep architecture and overnight oxygenation parameters were unchanged from baseline in any treatment group. The number and severity of adverse events and treatment adherence (0.3±0.6 missed doses/week) were equivalent among all treatment groups.
OSA affects approximately 30 million Americans, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Besides causing next day sleepiness, a major cause of motor vehicle and industrial accidents, OSA is co-morbid with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other conditions. Treatment options are limited and the most effective treatment, the CPAP device, has an extremely high non-compliance rate. “There is a tremendous need for effective, new treatments in obstructive sleep apnea,” said Dr. Carley in a press release by the University of Illinois at Chicago.
In the same press release, Dr. Zee commented that “The CPAP device targets the physical problem but not the cause. The drug targets the brain and nerves that regulate the upper airway muscles. It alters the neurotransmitters from the brain that communicate with the muscles.”
Pharmacogenomics, Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacokinetics
Introduction
With the information available about human genome and human proteome, it is now well understood that there are a lot of variations between individuals. These minor variations account for many differences like adverse drug reactions, which are responsible for many hospitalizations and casualties. The observed variable effect of drug is due to difference in sensitivity as some people need higher dose and some need lower dose to get similar therapeutic effect, but in some people drug has no therapeutic effects and in some it shows strong adverse reactions.

Prescription drug monitoring programs are now being used extensively in several American states, but there is a dearth of data on their effectiveness in curbing the number of opioid overdoses, as found out by a recent study.Responsible Opioid Prescribing for CNP
This document outlines responsible opioid prescribing guidelines for chronic non-cancer pain patients at a clinic in Oregon. It notes that Oregon has high rates of opioid abuse and deaths. The clinic uses 11 rules for prescribing opioids that are designed to reduce risks, including only prescribing opioids after other options are tried, limiting doses to 90 mg of morphine per day, requiring urine tests and prescribing agreements, and recommending non-opioid options for certain conditions. The guidelines aim to curb the opioid crisis in the community through safe prescribing practices.
Practical biopharmaceutics 1.pptx
This document discusses biopharmaceutics and the stages of drug discovery. It defines biopharmaceutics as the study of how physical and chemical drug properties affect the onset, duration and intensity of drug action. Biopharmaceutics uses both in-vitro and in-vivo studies. In-vitro refers to tests done outside a living organism, such as in a test tube. In-vivo refers to tests done within a whole living organism, such as animals or humans. New drugs first undergo in-vitro testing before progressing to animal studies and clinical trials in humans. In-vivo testing is important to identify adverse side effects not seen in preclinical testing.

Pharmacogenomics
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how an individual's genetic profile affects their response to medications. It aims to provide the right drug at the right dose for the right patient by understanding genetic factors. Current applications include testing for genetic variants before prescribing certain drugs to avoid bad reactions. Challenges include accounting for both genetic and environmental influences on drug responses and protecting patient privacy. As understanding and technologies improve, pharmacogenomics may help develop new drugs and reduce trial-and-error prescribing.

Reflection on roberto zayas
Dr. Roberto Zayas gave a seminar titled "It's lack of innovation, stupid" about patents. He discussed how patents give exclusive rights to inventors for 20 years in exchange for publicly disclosing their inventions. Patents are increasing in the US, especially for computer software. Dr. Zayas related patents to science, mentioning a case where researchers tried to patent human genes. Patents are generally good for science and the economy by incentivizing investment, but there are limits, such as not allowing the modification of human genes or patenting someone's DNA without consent. The student found Dr. Zayas' combination of a PhD and law degree inspiring and the seminar topic interesting because it showed the connection

Course 4997 Written Report
The study compared nitrate levels in a lake and river in Puerto Rico over 5 days. Samples collected in the morning and evening were analyzed. Nitrate levels in the lake ranged from 0.079 to 0.469 mg/L, lower than the river which ranged from 0.211 to 0.791 mg/L. Both water bodies showed increased nitrate levels after a major precipitation event on April 30th, supporting the hypothesis that rainfall increases nitrate concentration in bodies of water. Higher agricultural activity near the river likely contributed to its elevated nitrate levels.
Course 3095 Written Report
The document discusses studies on whether coffee and tea consumption causes or prevents cancer. It summarizes several studies that found: 1) Drinking 4 or more cups of coffee per day was associated with a higher risk of bladder cancer. 2) Drinking hot tea (over 75C) or very hot tea was associated with higher risks of esophageal cancer than warm/lukewarm tea. 3) High intake of 5 or more cups of coffee and tea per day was associated with lower risks of brain tumors. The studies showed contradictory results, so further research is still needed to understand the effects of specific coffee and tea ingredients on cancer risk.
Course 3095 Presentation
This document summarizes several studies on the relationship between coffee/tea consumption and health risks. It finds that coffee/tea intake can have contradictory effects depending on the type of cancer. A study in Spain found increased risk of bladder cancer only in those drinking 4 or more cups of coffee per day. A study in Iran associated intervals of drinking tea of 2-3 minutes or less than two minutes with higher risk of esophageal cancer. Another study found a lower risk of brain tumors among those drinking 5 or more cups of coffee per day. In conclusion, the effects of coffee/tea on cancer risk depend on the specific cancer and more research is needed to understand the active ingredients involved.
Reflection on leidy’s seminar
Leidy Alvarado, a PhD student at Purdue University, presented her research on using metabolite profiling to detect recurrent breast cancer earlier. Her research utilized NMR and GC x GC-MS to analyze blood serum metabolites and identify biomarkers. She found that metabolite profiling could detect 75% of recurring breast cancer patients, compared to 16% for the standard CA 27.29 marker, diagnosing recurrences on average 13 months earlier. Her results suggested that earlier detection through combined biomarker analysis could enable improved treatments. The student found Leidy's presentation and message about continuing to learn and lead as a PhD student inspiring.
Jessian
Jessian Muñoz was the speaker at the first seminar, discussing his recent study on the relationship between brain tumors, microRNAs, and stem cells. During his presentation, he explained in detail his experience conducting the experiment and defined scientific terms. After the seminar, he discussed an article on glioblastoma multiforme and recent findings in human cancer and mouse models. Brain tumors can affect many people in the future. Because of the relationship between stem cells and cancer cells, there may be new ways to conduct cancer treatments.
Hiv 4
Dr. Fabian's presentation discussed recent studies on HIV and cognitive disorders. He explained that HIV is a retrovirus that causes AIDS by infecting immune cells and potentially causing cancer. It can be transmitted through bodily fluids. His research looked at how HIV infects brain cells and the gastrointestinal tract. He also discussed sphingolipids that enrich the central nervous system and their role in signal transduction. His study injected HIV in three types of monkeys to compare effects to humans.

Report of guanica and yunque 1
This document summarizes the results of a study conducted by Group #2 of the adaptations of flora in El Yunque National Rainforest and Guánica Dry Forest in Puerto Rico. It discusses the various adaptations that allow plants to survive in each ecosystem, which are driven by differences in climate, soil composition, and other environmental factors. It then outlines the methodology used to study soil characteristics in El Yunque and floral distributions in Guánica Dry Forest. The results sections provide data collected on altitude, location coordinates, temperature, pH, wind velocity, and humidity in El Yunque, as well as distribution patterns of different plant species in Guánica Dry Forest.
Eduardo e. rivera proposal
The document discusses a proposed study to determine if excessive cell phone use causes glioma brain tumors and ipsilateral exposure in Puerto Rico. The study would examine the relationship between long-term cell phone use and risk of glioma tumors over 10 years. Participants would be surveyed about their cell phone use patterns and monitored for tumor development. The expected results are that heavy cell phone users would show an increased risk of both glioma tumors and ipsilateral exposure on the side of head used for calling.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Roselin Rosario Seminar
- 1. Eduardo E. Rivera Ms. Roselin Rosario Polymer Drugs Novel Biodegradable Drug Delivery System Roselyn Rosario a student graduated from UPR of Cayey and she continues her studies in the states gave us a wonderful seminar of polymer drugs. Currently in her lab they are trying to find what results may it bring by uniting polymers with morphine. Morphine is one of the drugs most used in medicine especially as a relieve painkiller after a mayor surgery. It is also one of the most addictive drugs that exist currently as a medicine. Ms. Rosario shared with us the success that they have had by uniting polymers with other medical drugs. For example, they modified a stent that is used for normalizing the artery in your heart, by making it degrade through time. They united polymers and morphine and it resulted positive for patient care. The objective was to reduce the tendency, addictiveness, period of re doses of the morphine. When tested it gave them positive results in every area they were focusing on. These results are extremely great for the medical community because of the positive results it may bring to patients. Although there is still much to study and much to do referring to the morphine it’s a positive start for this research.
