The rally was promoted in part by current and former sorority members at the university who, in July of last year, launched an Instagram account called “Strip Your Letters,” and demanded that the body governing the university’s sororities address concerns about “making Greek Life a safer, more equitable place for ALL women and Sisterhoods on our campus.” Their demands included the creation of a system to anonymously report instances of sexual abuse and racism. The crowd spilled off the sidewalk and onto the street, and shouted chants like, “We believe her,” “Justice now,” and “Lock him up,” in a demonstration that lasted more than two hours, according to WDAF-TV. In Kansas, protesters gathered on Monday night outside the frat house, which had been roped off with police tape. The Journal Star reported that men were filmed inside the house laughing as women outside chanted “Kick him out!” It was the second such protest in recent weeks: About 1,000 protesters surrounded the troubled Fiji frat house at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln last month after an alleged sexual assault.
Adam Heffley, interim chief of police for the City of Lawrence, said in a statement to The Daily Beast that they were “aware of an incident involving a possible sexual assault near campus over the weekend” but would not provide further details “in order to protect the privacy of victims.” The “No Means No Peaceful Protest” outside of the Phi Kappa Psi Greek house was fueled by allegations that a woman was drugged and raped at the frat house on Saturday night by a new undergraduate member. The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health (grants CA089450, CA197570, CA24168 5, CA229123, CA236733 ), Phi Beta Psi Sorority Charity Trust, and Nicholas Tierney GI Cancer Memorial Fund.More than a thousand protesters demonstrated outside of a University of Kansas fraternity house on Monday night in an outcry against sexual assault that former students say has been “regularly ignored and dismissed.” This work, reported in the Journal of Biomedical Optics, signifies an advance in adenoma detection by colonoscopy, which could reduce the number of CRC diagnoses.Ĭo-authors of the report also included Hiroaki Niitsu, MD, PhD, and Robert Coffey, MD. They used an FDA-approved polymer to ensure formation of COX-2 inhibitor-containing nanoparticles for easy administration and translation to clinical use. The researchers discovered that a fluorescent inhibitor of COX-2 administered before colonoscopy allowed for clear identification of adenomas in mice, whereas normal colons were not labeled by this fluorescent compound. Jashim Uddin, PhD, Larry Marnett, PhD, and colleagues chose to use COX-2, an enzyme that increases inflammation and is upregulated in preneoplastic lesions and CRC, as a marker for developing a fluorescent imaging agent to increase adenoma detection.
Unfortunately, using white-light colonoscopy without probing for a particular molecular marker of adenomas can lead to 30% of lesions going undetected. Detecting adenomas by colonoscopy remains one of the main preventative measures for colorectal cancer (CRC).
