NASH Therapy: omega 3 supplementation, vitamin E, insulin sensitizers and statin drugs
( Stephen Caldwell ) 대한간학회 2017 Clinical and Molecular Hepatology(대한간학회지) Vol.23 No.2
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the more aggressive form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NASH can progress to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, portal hypertension and primary liver cancer. Therapy is evolving with a substantial number of trials of promising new agents now in progress. In this article however, we will examine data for several older forms of therapy which have been fairly extensively studied over the years: Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) supplements, vitamin E, insulin sensitizing agents with a focus on pioglitazone and statin agents. Early interest in PUFA derived from their potential benefit in cardio-metabolic disease and the close association of NAFLD/NASH with Metabolic Syndrome. Results have been variable although most studies show reduction of liver fat without other major effects and their effects are influenced by concomitant weight loss and underlying genetic factors. Vitamin E has had some efficacy in pediatric NASH but questionable efficacy in even mild NASH among adults. Pioglitazone has shown significant histological benefit in a number of trials but concern over side-effects (especially weight gain) have dampened enthusiasm. A newer insulin sensitizer, liraglutide, has also shown promise in a small randomized, controlled trial. Very limited data exists regarding the histological effects of the statins in NASH and these agents appear to be fairly neutral with neither clear cut benefit nor detriment. Their use is best guided by cardiovascular risks rather than liver histology. (Clin Mol Hepatol 2017;23:103-108)
Deepening how cultural capital structures consumption of the performing arts
Marylouise Caldwell,Paul Conrad Henry 한국마케팅과학회 2018 마케팅과학연구 Vol.28 No.1
This paper deepens existing research that suggests cultural capital (CC), a status-laden resource linked to social class, associates with differences in consumption values, consumption portfolios (range of products consumed), and emic (consumers’ own) interpretations of performing arts. Our research context comprises attendance at the live and recorded performing arts in a large metropolitan city located in a Western country in which the dominant language is English. The research methods comprise long interviews with, and observations of, a sample of 36 performing arts patrons who had attended a classical music concert at least once: specifically, 18 low CC and 18 high CC. Analysis suggests several advances on previous research. Specific subsets of consumption values linked to CC in the prior literature, associate with LCC or HCC. These consumption values can be viewed as macro-values, which associate with numerous micro-values. Additional consumption values worthy of additional exploration emerged from data analysis. Consumption portfolios identified in prior research, are confirmed as associating with CC.

The aim of this project has been to plot the locations of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) drop-off sites in the Milwaukee Metro Area. Based on the eleven farm’s drop-off sites, a public Google Map has been created showing these drop-off points and the appropriately linked farms. In the focus of socioeconomic interests, these sites have been correlated with 2000 Census tract information dealing with percentages of White and Black neighborhoods,rates of bachelor’s degrees and areas where median income is below $10,000 dollars. Results show that drop-off sites are clustered in those areas where there is a higher concentration of White residents, in contrast to few or no drop-off sites in predominantly Black tracts sites. As well, the majority of locations lie in areas where there are high rates of Bachelor degrees, showing a potential connection with educational obtainment and dietary trends. Lastly,neighborhoods that have significant proportions of the population living below the poverty line have little or no dropoff sites in operation. Store front and traditional churches have been identified that may act as community sites for the establishment of new CSA locations in these disaffected areas.
