Evaluating The Bioavailability Of Carbamazepine Using A Novel Snedds Formulation, Gina M. Mattes, Zachary A. Wallace, Derrick L. Chapman, Jinwon Byun, Rebecca A. Kyper, Elisha R. Injeti Apr 2014

Evaluating The Bioavailability Of Carbamazepine Using A Novel Snedds Formulation, Gina M. Mattes, Zachary A. Wallace, Derrick L. Chapman, Jinwon Byun, Rebecca A. Kyper, Elisha R. Injeti

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Carbamazepine (CBZ) is an anticonvulsant drug primarily used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. CBZ is a lipophilic, poorly soluble drug that belongs to the class-2 category according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System. As a class-2 drug, the plasma concentration of CBZ is limited by its ability to diffuse across biological membranes. To increase its bioavailability, different methods such as crystal modifications, particle size reduction, amorphization, cyclodextrin complexation, pH modification, and self-emulsification were explored. Of these methods, Self Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SNEDDS) have shown to reduce particle size of CBZ molecules and improve its solubility. …


Thoracic Gas Volume In Athletes And Non-Athletes, Sara Savard, Samuel C. Tubb, Shem Neuenschwander, Caleb T. Swedorski, April D. Crommett Apr 2014

Thoracic Gas Volume In Athletes And Non-Athletes, Sara Savard, Samuel C. Tubb, Shem Neuenschwander, Caleb T. Swedorski, April D. Crommett

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

The purpose of this study was to analyze the predicted thoracic gas volume versus measured thoracic gas volume in college students, comparing NCAA collegiate athletes versus non-athletes using the Bod Pod. Forty-four college students, both males and females, athletes and non-athletes, completed a body composition test to obtain the predicted thoracic gas volume. The participants were then instructed by the Bod Pod software through the measured thoracic gas volume test. Due to low statistical power, athletes and non-athletes were unable to be compared, however, results of a two sample t-test showed that there was a statistically significant difference between measured …


Athletes' Knowledge And Attitudes Toward Concussions, Rebecca Williams, Christopher Cross Apr 2014

Athletes' Knowledge And Attitudes Toward Concussions, Rebecca Williams, Christopher Cross

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Concussions are a serious injury with significant short and long-term consequences. With the increasing awareness of the dangers of concussions, research has been directed toward educating coaches, athletes, and clinicians about this condition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate DII football athletes’ knowledge and attitudes toward concussion, so we can determine what education is necessary to better inform them, in order to be able to conduct a more efficient evaluation. A total of 55 male football athletes from NCAA DII institutions agreed to take part in the survey on a voluntary basis. Subjects completed a survey assessing athletes’ …


Are Cell Death Proteins/Antigens Found On Interdigital Cells Dying During Limb Development Expressed In A Simple Organism Such As Tetrahymena?, Rocco J. Rotello, Jessica A. Ward, Samuel Franklin, Jenna G. Lawhead Apr 2014

Are Cell Death Proteins/Antigens Found On Interdigital Cells Dying During Limb Development Expressed In A Simple Organism Such As Tetrahymena?, Rocco J. Rotello, Jessica A. Ward, Samuel Franklin, Jenna G. Lawhead

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Numerous studies have been published that describe the genes and proteins that control cell death in various biological systems including normal embryonic development and in disease such as cancer. We describe attempts to look at a possible conserved cell death antigen in the simple organism Tetrahymena, using a unique monoclonal antibody that recognizes only dying cells in the chick limb. The main impetus for the research is to answer the question; does the cell death process have key proteins that exist in the dying process that can be modulated prior to the completion of the cell death process? Using various …


The Role Of Pharmacists In Primary Care Settings, Julie Cummings, Mckenzie Shank, Nathanael Smith, Olumami Amaye, Cara Toms, Thaddeus T. Franz, Tracy Frame Apr 2014

The Role Of Pharmacists In Primary Care Settings, Julie Cummings, Mckenzie Shank, Nathanael Smith, Olumami Amaye, Cara Toms, Thaddeus T. Franz, Tracy Frame

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Introduction: The profession of pharmacy has evolved from a dispensing role to an interdisciplinary clinical role in patient care. One area of patient care expertise is Medication Therapy Management Services (MTM), which includes services such as pharmacotherapy, medication therapy reviews, disease management, immunizations and other clinical services. Various studies have shown that pharmacists conducting MTM improve patient outcomes in some clinical settings. Amidst the valuable services all healthcare professionals are providing, increasing medical costs and a lack of primary care physicians have become overwhelming, potentially leading to negative patient outcomes. Gaps in communication between hospital, primary care clinics and …

Health Literacy, Medication Adherence, And Patient Satisfaction In Community Pharmacy, Sarah Anderson, Kelly Madden, Lindsay Tarleton, Cassandra Wilson-Brownfield, Joseph Zerka, Aleda M. H. Chen

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Background: Health literacy is defined as the ability to read, understand, and act on health information; almost half of adults have inadequate health literacy. Since inadequate health literacy is often followed by many negative outcomes, such as poor medication adherence, it is important to address health literacy, in order to rectify the low levels and improve outcomes. Patients see pharmacists regularly, and therefore, the pharmacist is crucial In improving medication adherence. If health literacy is a barrier to medication adherence, the community pharmacist should be able to provide health literacy-appropriate counseling to improve medication adherence. Objectives: To determine if pharmacists' …
