Reverse Osmosis; Addressing Freshwater Shortage With Sustainable Desalination, Jessica Savage

Sustainability Conference

Water security is an imperative part of high-functioning societies. Currently, large populations of the globe live in water-impoverished or water-stressed areas. With climate change and growing global populations, projections show more people being impacted by issues of water shortage.

One solution to water security is the implementation of desalination, specifically with reverse osmosis systems. This presentation walks through the history, capabilities, future work, and explanations on how reverse osmosis systems work. With continued research on improving desalination, communities in both developed and developing nations around the world can work towards total water security.

Recovering From Industrial Overshoot: Thermal Removal Of Atmospheric Co2, Ted Von Hippel, Sandra Boetcher, Matthew Traum, Farshid Azadian Ph.D., William Mackunis

Sustainability Conference

Humanity will soon overshoot a safe level of atmospheric CO2, if it hasn't done so already. Countries, industries, and the global economy need to dramatically and quickly alter their behavior and technology to avoid this dangerous overshoot, yet this appears unlikely. Direct Air Capture of CO2 represents an insurance policy for society - a way of removing excess atmospheric CO2. I will present an approach to this problem based on thermal physics that cools cubic kilometers of air to extract CO2 as it sublimates. I propose a combination of an efficient heat exchanger, radiative cooling, and refrigeration, all at industrial …

Disrupting Tech While Being Pro-Tech, Elisa J. Rodrigues, Anders G. Lyon

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

As more libraries take on social justice concerns, pro-technology library workers have the responsibility of vetting and implementing meaningful tools that both meet patron needs and privacy. The goal of this program is for library workers to think critically how we might take a more measured approach to review and integrate technology into library services. Participants are encouraged to think beyond the glitz and glam of new toys and consider how innovation can work in favor of community goals and library ethics. BIPOC, paraprofessionals, students, recent grads, and those with reservations about technology are highly encouraged to attend.

Efficacy Of Combined Spinal Epidural With Adductor Canal Block For Total Knee Arthroplasty, Simrat Kaur, Nicholas Bastug, Michael Buxhoeveden, Sabrina Dhillon

Graduate Medical Education (GME) Resident and Fellow Research Day Posters

Introduction: Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) is often used as the primary anesthetic for Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKA) (4). Intrathecal morphine (ITM) is associated with pruritus, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and respiratory depression(3). Our institutional preference for TKA includes an opioid free CSE with Adductor Canal (AC) block. The objective of this study is to ascertain if CSE with AC block is beneficial as compared to CSE with ITM for TKA. We hypothesized improved side-effect profile and non-inferior pain control.

Methods: We reviewed 20 patients that received a CSE and AC block for TKA in 2018 and compared them to …

More Than Meets The Ipex: Finding The Right Source In An Immunosuppressed Patient, Ban Wang, Brant Ward

Graduate Medical Education (GME) Resident and Fellow Research Day Posters

Patients with immune dysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy X-linked (IPEX) syndrome usually present with autoimmunity, but are also prone to significant infections. In this case report, we introduce a 21-year-old gentleman with IPEX syndrome who presented to our ED with witnessed episodes of tonic-clonic seizures that likely represented aseptic meningitis secondary to Ehrlichia infection.

We determined that our patient’s clear exposure history to animals likely carrying zoonotic diseases fits the clinical picture of aseptic meningitis that was triggered by systemic tick-borne infection. We were able to make our conclusions based on our patient’s multiple negative viral and bacterial in both blood and …

Abstract: How to Improve Resident Firearm Safety Education

Hannah Hollon, MD, Darina Dinov, DO, Elizabeth Wolf, MD, MPH

Background: Gun violence is the second leading cause of death in children, and one third of children in the United States live with a gun in the home.¹ Despite this public health challenge, there is a lack of firearm safety education in residency programs. One study from 1997 surveyed pediatric residencies across the country and found that 34% of programs reported having formal firearm safety education as part of their curricula. The programs cited lack of trained personnel, educational …

Prevalence Of The Hypervirulent Nap1/Bi/027 Strain Of C. Difficile In Southwestern Virginia And Risk Factors Associated With Infection, Andrew O. Hanna, Anthony Baffoe-Bonnie, Shikha Vasudeva

Graduate Medical Education (GME) Resident and Fellow Research Day Posters

C. difficile infection (CDI) incidence has increased over the last several decades. The BI/NAP1/027 ribotype was discovered in 2005 and has since been responsible for multiple outbreaks in the US and Canada. This subtype of C. Difficile is known to be more virulent in vivo and produce more severe disease. Limited regional data of the prevalence of this ribotype is available, which could help guide treatment. Using infection control data from a large regional hospital and a VA medical center, this study documented the prevalence of the 027 ribotype in Southwest Virginia. Patients were included if they were tested at …

Getting On The Same Page: A Quality Improvement Project To Reduce Overnight Nursing-To-Resident Physician Pages In An Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, Renae Fisher Md, Rajbir Chaggar Md, Anthony Zenger Md, Susan Hamilton Rn, Bsn, William Carter Md

Graduate Medical Education (GME) Resident and Fellow Research Day Posters

Introduction
Many Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) residency programs utilize “home call” systems for nighttime coverage of inpatient services. In this system, trainees are expected to work at full capacity the following day after taking nocturnal call. While “on call,” trainees receive both urgent and non-urgent pages throughout the night, which disrupt sleep. To mitigate fatigue, improve hand-offs and improve timing of patient care, this study targeted reducing non-urgent overnight pages from nurses to home call PM&R residents between 11pm to 6am.

Methods

We implemented a prospective quality improvement study with interventions including holding “Getting on the Same Page” meetings …

Mohs Micrographic Surgery In A Pediatric Patient With Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Cameron Nichols, Shields W. Callahan Md

Graduate Medical Education (GME) Resident and Fellow Research Day Posters

An 11-year old boy presented with biopsy proven squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the left cheek. Pathology demonstrated moderate to well-differentiated SCC with positive deep and peripheral margins and no signs of definitive perineural invasion. Past medical history was significant for radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and stem cell transplant seven years prior for the treatment of a spinal embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes with no signs of recurrence. He never had any direct radiation therapy to the site of his SCC. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) was ultimately selected as the treatment of choice for his SCC.

The main concern with MMS …

Attempts At Subject Pronouns Across Assessments In Preschoolers, Lauren Riggleman

Honors Projects

Young children sometimes substitute pronouns, for example, saying ‘her goes’ instead of ‘she goes.’ Seventeen four-year-olds’ use of third person pronouns (i.e. he, she, they, her, him, them) was assessed with both a formal test and an informal play-based language sample. This study compares pronoun use across the two assessment settings. The percentage of correct pronoun use was calculated from the language samples, and pronoun attempts on the formal assessment were counted. Out of the 17 children observed, ten children had perfect pronoun use on the informal assessment, and eight children attempted all pronouns in the play-based language sample. The …
