chd: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called chd.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Health; Disparities; Women; Prostate; Risk; Patients; Breast

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Notch as an Immunologic Basis of Cancer Disparities by Thomas, Portia LaLiah; Shanker, Anil (2019) - In murine CD8+ T cells, Notch signaling controls activated CD8+ T cell fate towards terminal effector cell versus memory precursor cell fates (Backer et al., 2014). The decreased expression of Notch components resulted in tumor-induced immunosuppression in T cell function that correlated with poor prognosis (Biktasova et al., 2015; Huang et al., 2011; Thounaojam et al., 2015).

Although greater expression of CYP17A1 appears to correlate with higher stages and shorter relapse-free times in prostate cancer (Bremmer et al., 2014; Gomez et al., 2015; Salvi et al., 2016), expression of the CYP17A1 gene was lower in primary prostate cancers than in normal prostate tissue and was lower in AA prostate cancers than in CA prostate cancers.
