The Use Of Life-Like Robotic Animals In The Acute Care Setting To Assist In The Care Of Patients With Dementia, Abby Denby
Doctors of Nursing Practice (DNP) Final Projects, 2020-current
The purpose of this pilot project was to describe the effect of life-like robotic animals on the nurses’ ability to provide care, patients’ level of agitation, use of antipsychotic medications, restraint and sitter use for patients with dementia in an acute care setting. Nurses report challenges and feelings of helplessness while caring for patients with dementia. Dementia may cause depression, agitation, aggression (physical or verbal) and a decrease quality of life. Animal Assisted Therapy (ATT) is a growing therapy in many healthcare settings but there is a lack of literature specifically related to the use of AAT in the acute …

Angiotensin Ii In The Treatment Of Distributive Shock, An Old Theory Revitalized, Jennifer D. Leach, Daniel P. Curran
Physician Assistant Capstones, 2020-current
Objective: To assess whether or not angiotensin II in combination with current treatment has a favorable outcome in the treatment of distributive shock in terms of decreasing duration of vasopressor usage, increasing mean arterial pressure (MAP) above 65 mmHg, and improving mortality.
Design: Systematic Literature Review
Methods:Searches were conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and the James Madison University Library Database for the key terms angiotensin II, shock, septic shock, vasodilatory shock, distributive shock, blood pressure, double-blind, humans, and vasoconstrictor agents. Search results were filtered by year, for animal trials, irrelevant therapies, meta-analysis, retrospective studies, and case studies. Only original …

Galcanezumab As A Treatment For The Prevention Of Migraines, Jacob Brown, Chelsea Weedon
Physician Assistant Capstones, 2020-current
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of subcutaneous galcanezumab as a preventative treatment for chronic migraines via a systematic review. Methods: JAMA and PubMed databases were searched using the terms galcanezumab and migraines in order to survey resulting patient clinical trials. Results: The 3 studies reviewed here all showed a statistically significant decrease in migraine headache days (MHDs) per month when using galcanezumab. Stauffer, et al. showed a mean decrease in MHDs of 4.7 and 4.6 for the 120mg and 240 mg doses of galcanezumab vs. 2.8 for placebo9 . Rosen, et al. showed a mean monthly 100% response rate …
Therapeutic Potential Of A Ketogenic Diet In The Treatment Of Major Depressive Disorder, Jordan A. Murrin
Therapeutic Potential Of A Ketogenic Diet In The Treatment Of Major Depressive Disorder, Jordan A. Murrin
Masters Theses, 2020-current
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the second most common mental health condition and a leading cause of disability in the world. It is theorized that MDD develops from a combination of biological, psychological, and social stressors. The condition is typically treated using pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy. However, not all individuals with MDD have access to or choose to use these treatments, or may prefer to incorporate therapeutic lifestyle changes such as exercise, sleep, and healthy eating. Even with treatment, MDD can alter brain structure and function, leading to the development of comorbid mental health and chronic metabolic conditions like obesity, cardiovascular …
