Relationship Between Arm Path, Ball Velocity, And Elbow Varus Torque In Professional Baseball Pitchers, Brittany Dowling, Alexander Hodakowski, Bjorn Olmanson, Matthew Cohn, Patrick Pauley, Nikhil Verma, Gregory Nicholson, Grant Garrigues
Relationship Between Arm Path, Ball Velocity, And Elbow Varus Torque In Professional Baseball Pitchers, Brittany Dowling, Alexander Hodakowski, Bjorn Olmanson, Matthew Cohn, Patrick Pauley, Nikhil Verma, Gregory Nicholson, Grant Garrigues
Rothman Institute Faculty Papers
BACKGROUND: Currently, most pitching instructors suggest a shorter arm path-the total distance the arm travels during pitching. Theoretically, this combination allows for better body segment sequencing, a more efficient energy transfer through the kinetic chain, and increased ball velocity, while limiting elbow varus torque.
HYPOTHESIS: Shorter arm paths would be associated with increased ball velocity and decreased elbow varus torque.
STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive laboratory study.
METHODS: A total of 182 professional pitchers threw 8 to 12 fastball pitches while evaluated by 3-dimensional motion capture (480 Hz). The arm path was calculated as the total distance the hand marker traveled during …

A Quality Improvement Project: Implementing A Sleep Disturbance Screening Questionnaire In A Primary Care Clinic, David Elder Hamby
A Quality Improvement Project: Implementing A Sleep Disturbance Screening Questionnaire In A Primary Care Clinic, David Elder Hamby
Doctoral Projects
At present time, it is estimated that 50-70 million Americans suffer from some form of sleep disturbance (disrupted sleep) and subsequently, sleep disorders (formal diagnosis) (Hanson & Huecker, 2022), which has a direct correlation between sleep disorders and many existing common comorbid conditions. Patients commonly report experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, inability to focus or concentrate, generalized fatigue, decreased libido, and lability of emotions. As a person ages, there is an increasing trend in the reduction of quality and quantity of sleep. Due to Americans living longer, the number of Americans living with sleep disturbance has significantly ballooned in recent decades. …
Forensic Evaluation Of A Single Episode Of A Disorder Of Arousal In A Sleepwalking Defense: Cognitive Function Versus Prior Clinical History, Mark R. Pressman
Forensic Evaluation Of A Single Episode Of A Disorder Of Arousal In A Sleepwalking Defense: Cognitive Function Versus Prior Clinical History, Mark R. Pressman
Department of Medicine Faculty Papers
Introduction
The clinical diagnosis of disorders of arousal (DOA) is based primarily on a clinical history including amnesia for episodes. The presence of amnesia means the patient cannot provide direct evidence. In a forensic setting, when the defendant has been charged criminally with violent actions or sexual related assaults allegedly during sleep, a sleepwalking defense may be presented. As opposed to clinical history, the prosecution generally focuses on the single episode of alleged DOA that resulted in the criminal charges against the defendant. The prosecution will argue that this episode of complex behavior was not consistent with a DOA. A …

Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis [Ipa]: Examining The Impact Of Sleep Disturbances On Lived Experiences Of Persons With Parkinson’S Disease (Pwpd), Adriana Ornelas, Angela Blackwell, Karen Aranha
Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis [Ipa]: Examining The Impact Of Sleep Disturbances On Lived Experiences Of Persons With Parkinson’S Disease (Pwpd), Adriana Ornelas, Angela Blackwell, Karen Aranha
Spring 2023 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium
Introduction: This investigation aimed to examine the lived experiences of PwPD who suffer from insomnia. Sleep disturbance affects up to 96% of individuals with PD. The non-motor symptom (NMS) significantly reduces HR-QOL, positively correlates with disease severity and duration, and increases the disease burden of care. Due to the nature of the disease, typical sleep hygiene protocols may not be the most effective intervention for this population. Understanding their challenges is vital to developing a sleep hygiene protocol tailored to their needs.
Methodology: A pilot qualitative study using an interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) with PwPD (N=12). The study received IRB …

Identification Of Molecular Markers Associated With Copd In Non-Smokers And Smokers: A Bioinformatics Analysis, Agede O. Ayodele, Isa M. Wasagu, Ademola E. Fawibe, Alakija K. Salami
The University of Louisville Journal of Respiratory Infections
Background
Even though the proportional burden of COPD among never-smokers is significant in both developing and developed nations, accounting for around 30% of all COPD in the community, there is little awareness of the prevalence of COPD in this population. Understanding the molecular processes that underlie COPD in nonsmokers is essential.
Methods
Dataset (GSE146560) was acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The limma and clusterProfiler software tools were used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and conduct a functional enrichment analysis respectively.
Results
In all, 10,583 DEGs were found, of which 1,065 were up-regulated and 9,518 were down-regulated. The …
Review Of Nighttime Temperature Effects On Long-Term Health Condition Through Sleep Studies, Sydnie Matkins
Review Of Nighttime Temperature Effects On Long-Term Health Condition Through Sleep Studies, Sydnie Matkins
Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Student Capstone Conference
Over the past 40 years, there has been increasing interest in human sleep quality and duration. This nonsystematic review looked at over 80 peer-reviewed papers on the association among sleep, temperature, and long-term health conditions. Generally, warmer temperatures lend to poorer sleep quality, and poor sleep quality lend to mental illness and a higher risk of coronary heart disease and mortality. Future research should be to conduct a study that relies more on health records rather than questionnaires to accurately map current and future health quality.
Gender Disparities In The Diagnosis Of Sleep Disordered Breathing, Kenna Haile, Nesrine Ibrahim, Safwan Badr, Apala Vaishnav
Gender Disparities In The Diagnosis Of Sleep Disordered Breathing, Kenna Haile, Nesrine Ibrahim, Safwan Badr, Apala Vaishnav
Medical Student Research Symposium
Introduction: Current diagnostic guidelines for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) require that apneas and hypopneas be accompanied by a 4% desaturation for it to constitute a respiratory event (AHI-Accepted). However, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends expanding the diagnostic criteria to include apneas and hypopneas accompanied by a 3% desaturation or a cortical arousal for diagnosis (AHI-Recommended). We hypothesized that a clinical sample of both men and women would demonstrate that women are more likely to be misdiagnosed using the accepted criteria compared to the recommended criteria.
Methods: The clinical sample consisted of all patients receiving a PSG at the …

The University of Louisville Journal of Respiratory Infections
During the first two years of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, nasopharyngeal (NP) specimens were the gold standard for clinical diagnostic testing. As information about the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing the pandemic continued to be shared, it was clear that the virus could be detected in other specimen types during an active infection. The University of Louisville Infectious Diseases Laboratory accepted non-traditional specimen types, most without a paired, positive NP result, for research purposes only to support local epidemiology efforts. A real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay originally validated for NP specimens was used …

Recurrent Cyanotic Spells In An Octogenarian, Chin Tong Kwok, Chun Kit Wong
Recurrent Cyanotic Spells In An Octogenarian, Chin Tong Kwok, Chun Kit Wong
Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology
We report rare case of an octogenarian who, after years of diagnostic delay, was found to have a patent foramen ovale, and due to an ascending aortic aneurysm that anatomically facilitated right-to-left shunt, presenting with life-threatening cyanotic attacks. The characteristic orthodeoxia-platypnea syndrome and high alveolar arterial gradient hint to the diagnosis. She was eventually treated successfully with urgent percutaneous PFO closure. Routine ordering of a transthoracic echocardiogram, without agitated saline injection under provocation maneuvers, may not be sufficient to rule out shunts.

What Are We Missing In Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea Clinical Evaluation? Review Of Official Guidelines, Eduardo J. Correa, Carlos O´Connor-Reina, Laura Rodriguez-Alcalá, Diego M. Conti, Alberto Rabino, Peter M. Baptista, Maria-Teresa Garcia-Iriarte, Guillermo Plaza
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Purpose: This article presents a narrative review of current recommendations for the clinical evaluation and management of adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to identify points missing from a myofunctional perspective.
Methods: The authors reviewed current official guidelines for adult patients with OSA, searching clinical evaluation and treatment recommendations for myofunctional therapy.
Results: None of the current guidelines for evaluation of adult OSA recommend performing a myofunctional evaluation. Only two guidelines consider myofunctional therapy (MFT) as a treatment modality for adult patients with OSA.
Conclusion: Despite the role of the pharyngeal dilator muscles as an …
Evaluation Of Sleep Benefits Following A 16-Week Judo Program For Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Neha R. Chittaluru
Evaluation Of Sleep Benefits Following A 16-Week Judo Program For Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Neha R. Chittaluru
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by language and communication deficits, and difficulties with social interaction (Twisk, 2001). Research has shown that 80% of youth with ASD experience sleep challenges which can lead to sleep-related health issues, exacerbate problematic behaviors, and increase vulnerability to anxiety and depression (Wachob & Lorenzi, 2015; Williams et al., 2004; Richdale & Schreck, 2009). Sleep plays a central role in adaptive functioning, and insufficient sleep can hinder learning, memory, and neuroplasticity for children with ASD (Cohen et al., 2014). As these unhealthy behavior patterns can lead to more adverse long-term health consequences, it …
Benefits Of A Family-Based Judo Program For Parents Of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Jeslin George
Benefits Of A Family-Based Judo Program For Parents Of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Jeslin George
Honors Undergraduate Theses
A diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can impact the entire family. Parents of children with ASD reportedly have greater stress levels, family conflict, financial concerns, and poor health habits than parents of neurotypical (NT) children. While many parent-focused interventions have been developed, these interventions focus on parent training and child behavior outcomes rather than the health and well-being of the parents. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of a 15-week family judo program on physical and psychosocial health in parents of children with ASD. A total of 18 parents of children with ASD participated in a weekly …
The Relationship Between Evening Screen Time Use And Objectively Measured Sleep Outcomes In U.S. College Students, Donya Sedaghat
The Relationship Between Evening Screen Time Use And Objectively Measured Sleep Outcomes In U.S. College Students, Donya Sedaghat
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Research suggests that elevated levels of screen time in the evening can negatively impact sleep outcomes (sleep duration, quality, and latency). Yet, there is a lack of evidence exploring if this relationship exists in college students. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between evening screen time use and objectively measured sleep outcomes in US college students. College students (N = 29) junior or senior standing in a Health Sciences major were recruited to participate in this cross-sectional study. Participants wore accelerometers on their wrist for 24hr/day for seven days to capture sleep duration, efficiency, awakenings, and …

The Balance Between Sleep And Lifestyle: How Lifestyle Impacts Insufficient Sleep, Evan Hartman, John Monnig
The Balance Between Sleep And Lifestyle: How Lifestyle Impacts Insufficient Sleep, Evan Hartman, John Monnig
Scholarship in Medicine - All Papers
Sleep insufficiency is a common but overlooked problem for many people. This is harmful because adequate sleep is important to cognitive, emotional, and physical health. This study analyzed how food environment index, smoking, physical activity, and median household income impact sleep insufficiency on an Ohio population. All data was utilized from the County Health Rankings (CHR) database. This analysis presented that the food environment index (r = -0.676, p < .001) and median household income (r = -0.743, p <.001) negatively correlated to insufficient sleep percentage. Furthermore, both adult smoking percentage (r = 0.735, p < .001) and physical inactivity (r = 0.761, p < .001) positively correlated to insufficient sleep percentage. It is also important to note that there was a significant difference between Ohio and Indiana counties (t = -12.347, p < .001), two neighboring states that both contain a mixture of urban and rural populations. Lastly, there was no significant difference between rural and urban Ohio counties (t=-1.521, p=.132). This data presents that more physical activity and less smoking may have positive benefits on sleep along with eating healthier, more nutrient dense food. Moreover, increased median household income may also positively impact sleep. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, physical activity, and increased nutritious food consumption are all avenues for patients to try to implement into their own lives to improve their sleep. Hopefully, such lifestyle modifications will improve sleep quality and thus result in an improvement in other aspects of their overall health.

Human circadian, neuroendocrine, and neurobehavioral responses to light are mediated primarily by melanopsin-containing intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) but they also receive input from visual photoreceptors. Relative photoreceptor contributions are irradiance- and duration-dependent but results for long-duration light exposures are limited. We constructed irradiance-response curves and action spectra for melatonin suppression and circadian resetting responses in participants exposed to 6.5-h monochromatic 420, 460, 480, 507, 555, or 620 nm light exposures initiated near the onset of nocturnal melatonin secretion. Melatonin suppression and phase resetting action spectra were best fit by a single-opsin template with lambdamax at 481 and 483 …

The endemic spread of obesity and unhealthy behaviors of modern society led to revisiting the real prevalence related to obstructive sleep apnea. Recent data support a paradigm shift towards individually tailored treatments which include functional surgery of the upper airways. This paper presents the results of a randomized interventional, prospective study on 68 patients referred by the general practitioner for obstructive sleep apnea. The eligible cohort consisted of 28 patients who were offered functional surgery for definitive relief of obstructive symptoms. After topographic diagnosis of the obstruction site and grading of the severity of the obstructive sleep apnea, the eligible …
