Mothers With Chronic Physical Illness And The Parentification Of Their Children, Marie M. Duryea Feb 2008

Mothers With Chronic Physical Illness And The Parentification Of Their Children, Marie M. Duryea

Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs

More than 133 million Americans are living with chronic conditions and this number continues to rise (Partnership for Solutions, 2004); by 2020, it is estimated that 157 million people will suffer from chronic illnesses (Anderson, 2003), a large percentage of whom are in their child-rearing stage of life. Incorporating concepts from family systems and family development theories, this exploratory study examined the impact of maternal chronic physical illness on children. Specifically, it examined the extent to which length of illness and symptom severity of fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis; mothers age, educational level, and marital status; perceived effects of the illness …

Changes In Childhood Malnutrition And Mortality After Institution Of A Community Health Worker Program In Four Rural Guatemalan Villages, Steven Hartman, Sarah Leonard, Angelo Tomedi Jan 2008

Changes In Childhood Malnutrition And Mortality After Institution Of A Community Health Worker Program In Four Rural Guatemalan Villages, Steven Hartman, Sarah Leonard, Angelo Tomedi

Undergraduate Medical Student Research

While community health workers (CHWs) are being implemented in several developing countries, there has been little work done to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing childhood malnutrition among participating communities. Our study evaluates the effectiveness of CHWs in three Guatemalan villages by comparing anthropomorphic measures and mortality rates of children under five before and after the implementation of a CHW program. While one community showed no significant change in malnutrition rates in terms of height-for-age calculations, two other communities showed improved malnutrition rates in terms of height-for-age. Weight-for-age comparisons were not statistically significant, and while childhood mortality remained unchanged in one …

Guarding Life's Dark Secrets: Legal And Social Controls Over Reputation, Propriety, And Privacy Book Review, Alex Lubin Jan 2008

Guarding Life's Dark Secrets: Legal And Social Controls Over Reputation, Propriety, And Privacy Book Review, Alex Lubin

American Studies Faculty and Staff Publications

This short but well-researched and well-written book adds to the existing literature about the origins of the Cold War national security state and about the link between international crisis and domestic surveillance. The book confirms previous portraits of FDR as a president with a somewhat relaxed view of civil liberties, and it shows compellingly how Hoover perfected the use of criminal investigations, launched to find evidence of unlawful activities and to gather, file, and disseminate political and other forms of noncriminal intelligence. It therefore fills a void in the scholarship on the FBI, which has tended to focus on the …

Project ECHO Bibliography

The authors describe an innovative academic health center (AHC)-led program of health care delivery and clinical education for the management of complex, common, and chronic diseases in underserved areas, using hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a model. The program, based at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, represents a paradigm shift in thinking and funding for the threefold mission of AHCs, moving from traditional fee-for-service models to public health funding of knowledge networks. This program, Project Extension for Community Health care Outcomes (ECHO), involves a partnership of academic medicine, public health offices, corrections departments, and rural community clinics …

Sin Nombre Viral Rna Load In Patients With The Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome, Ruobing Xiao, Brian Hjelle Nov 2006

Sin Nombre Viral Rna Load In Patients With The Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome, Ruobing Xiao, Brian Hjelle

Undergraduate Medical Student Research

To address the role of viral load in pathogenesis in patients with hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), we quantified Sin Nombre virus S segment viral RNA in plasma samples from 27 acutely-ill patients. For six patients we examined viral load in matched plasma, urine, and/or tracheal aspirate throughout the time when patients were in intensive care. Peak titers in plasma reached 1.8x106 copies/ml; none had viral RNA in urine. Titers in tracheal aspirates did not exceed 8x104/ml. We found a statistically significant association (P< 0.005) between plasma viral RNA levels at admission and the severity of disease. Of those with plasma viral RNA titers above the threshold for assay sensitivity (5000 copies/ml), those with mild-moderate and severe disease had an average of 27,800 and 438,545 copies/ml, respectively. These results suggest that patients with high viral loads on admission are more likely to have severe disease.

Electronic Health Records - What Data Can Be Automatically Collected From Laboratory Instruments And Bedside Monitors?, Reed Gardner Apr 2006

Electronic Health Records - What Data Can Be Automatically Collected From Laboratory Instruments And Bedside Monitors?, Reed Gardner

Historical and Administrative Collection

Electronic Health Records (EHR) are becoming more common in today\'s modern health care systems. However, gathering key clinical data by nurses, pharmacists and physicians in an accurate, timely, and efficient manner is still problematic. However, just as with banking and the Internet, there are "automated" methods that help solve these problems. This presentation discusses these methods and shows how they are used in the clinical setting.
