Telepsychiatry And Mental Health Care For Syrian Refugees In Turkey, Moustafa Moustafa
Telepsychiatry And Mental Health Care For Syrian Refugees In Turkey, Moustafa Moustafa
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
The Syrian conflict is now in its fourth year and has produced one of the largest humanitarian disasters since the Cold War. Violent fighting and aerial bombings in many of the country’s major cities have resulted in massive numbers of internally and externally displaced Syrians, many psychologically traumatized and in need of expert mental health attention. The influx of refugees into Syria’s neighboring countries of Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey has stressed already strained health systems. The ability to deliver mental health care is inextricably linked to the existing health care infrastructure—a dynamic and often unstable institution as refugees migrate from …
Influenza Vaccine Given To Pregnant Women Reduces Hospitalization Due To Influenza In Their Infants, Isaac Benowitz
Influenza Vaccine Given To Pregnant Women Reduces Hospitalization Due To Influenza In Their Infants, Isaac Benowitz
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
The aim of this study was to determine whether giving influenza vaccine to pregnant women can reduce the incidence of hospitalization due to influenza in their infants in the first year of life. This was a matched, hospital-based case-control study at Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital. Case and control subjects were all aged hospitalization, matched to cases by date of birth and date of hospitalization (both within 4 weeks before or after). We contacted parents of all subjects to collect information on the subjects' health and home setting and to get permission to review subjects' and mothers' hospital records and outpatient …

Using An Electronic Reminder To Improve Physician Practices At Yale-New Haven Hospital, Alicia Inés Arbaje
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
The inappropriate use of diphenhydramine (Benadryl™) can lead to iatrogenic complications, such as cognitive decline. Electronic reminders can be effective in implementing clinical guidelines, providing decision support to clinicians, and reducing medical errors. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an electronic reminder screen on physicians' routine use of diphenhydramine as a pretreatment prior to blood transfusions, and to assess their attitudes regarding this reminder. The researchers reviewed diphenhydramine use in adult inpatients before, immediately after, and one year after implementation of the reminder screen. A total of 752 transfusion episodes (467 patients) were reviewed, with …
Characterization Of Two Endogenous Trophic Factors Involved In Regeneration Of The Goldfish Optic Nerve, Jason Matthew Schwalb
Characterization Of Two Endogenous Trophic Factors Involved In Regeneration Of The Goldfish Optic Nerve, Jason Matthew Schwalb
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
Unlike mammals, lower vertebrates are able to regenerate injured pathways of the central nervous system throughout life. The factors responsible for initiating this process are unknown. We have shown that in dissociated cell culture, goldfish retinal ganglion cells regenerate their axons in response to two factors derived from goldfish optic nerve glia. Axogenesis factor 1 (AF-1) is a small, hydrophilic peptide (700-900 daltons) that is inactivated by treatment with proteinase K, but heat-stable. A second factor, AF-2, is a basic polypeptide of c. 12kDa. Dissociated retinal cells remain viable in serum-free defined media for at least a week, but show …

Studies In Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis, Theodore Simon
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
[From the Introduction] This study serves to define the population at risk for developing slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Although epidemiological studies of this disease have been completed, this large sample helps to confirm the earlier work. Moreover, it characterizes the relationship of this sample with previous samples and hence evaluates the contention that the results of other studies on this sample are based on a typical group of SCFE victims.

A Study Of The Cutaneous Method Of Von Pirquet And The Percutaneous Method Of Moro And Their Comparison With The Other Tuberculin Tests In The Diagnosis Of Tuberculosis, Fu-Chun (Fu Ching) Yen, Yan Fuqing
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
This thesis is based on a comparative study of the Von Pirquet tuberculin skin test and the Moro per cutaneous tuberculin test used in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
