Harnessing The Inflammatory Response For Tissue Regeneration, Kara Spiller

Amgen Seminar Series in Chemical Engineering

The inflammatory response plays a major role in the body’s response to injury, disease, or implantation of a biomaterial. When the inflammatory response functions normally, it can be a powerful force that promotes tissue repair and regeneration, but when it goes awry, disease takes hold and healing is impaired. The goal of the Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory at Drexel University is to understand the mechanisms by which the inflammatory response orchestrates successful tissue regeneration and to develop novel biomaterial strategies that apply these principles to situations in which tissue regeneration is impaired. In particular, we focus on the behavior …

Improving Skills When Working With Challenging Behaviors: Get “Sneaky Smart”, Jeffery R. Craver

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

As we work to ensure that all children & youth are in a safe/secure environment where they feel special and can learn, it is humbling when we face challenging behaviors.

This presentation will help the participants to see that being “sneaky smart” is all about changing adult behavior, being flexible & willing to truly problem solve, and being more skilled at ways to alter the environment & the positive supports that we can put into …

How To Sustain Excellence: Reigniting Your Mojo, Dr. Laurel Kinard, Jaime Espinosa, Kelly Mcnabb

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Sustainability is a widely recognized and researched component for continued positive outcomes of a school or district’s implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Many schools and districts find that around two years after initial implementation, sometimes even with past positive outcomes, implementation efforts can lose effectiveness and teams lose momentum. Data may show that schools are implementing with poor fidelity or focusing on only limited elements of the PBIS framework. Drawing on the body of published research, knowledge and tools, two large school districts in the metropolitan Atlanta area collaborated in their efforts to reignite the commitment and …

Strengthening Exercises And Modalities To Prevent Growth Of Hypertrophic Scarring And Improve Wrist Strength And Mobility: A Case Report, Maggie Masiak

Case Report Posters

There is no gold standard for evaluation, treatment, and prevention of keloids. Keloids are elevated fibrous scars that extend beyond the original borders of the wound, they do not regress and they tend to reoccur even after surgical excision. Individuals younger than 30, with elevated hormone levels and darker skin tend to be at higher risks for keloids. The most susceptible areas are on areas of high tension like the sternum, shoulders, upper arms, earlobes, and cheeks. Scars are generally evaluated by depth of elevated tissue, color, softness, shape, and orientation. The etiology of keloids is uncertain but it is …

Using The Selective Functional Movement Assessment And Regional Interdependence Theory To Guide Treatment Of An Athlete With Back Pain: A Case Report, Gabriella Goshtigian

Case Report Posters

Incidence of low back pain (LBP) is as high as 36% among adolescents and even more prevalent in those who play sports. The majority of these cases lack an underlying diagnosis and are classified as non-specific LBP. Previous injury and longer durations of pain consistently emerge as prognostic factors in musculoskeletal pain. This affects movement patterns which then continue to contribute to dysfunction. The Regional Interdependence Theory (RI) views all regions of the body as being musculoskeletally linked, with impairments in remote regions to site of pain often being a cause. The Joint-by-Joint Theory compliments RI by arguing that joints …

Vestibular Rehabilitation And Cervical Postural Re-Education In A Young Athlete Who Presented With Post-Concussion Syndrome: A Case Report, Cristen Schmidt

Case Report Posters

A concussion is a pathophysiological process resulting in neurological impairments in response to a forceful impact directly on or transmitted to the head, neck, or face. ~300,000 concussions occur in high school athletes in the US, making sports 2nd to MVA as leading cause of concussions. Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) occurs when side effects are persistent past the 10 day period. 10% of people will develop PCS following a concussion. In previous research, cervico-vestibular rehabilitation and direct attention to the patient’s intolerance to activity is vital in order to return an athlete back to sport. The purpose of this case report …

Functional Training To Reduce Fall Risk In A Patient Following Cancer Treatment: A Case Report, Kristin O'Kelly

Case Report Posters

The National Cancer Institute reports that 39.6% of men and women will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime. Studies have demonstrated that over half of cancer survivors age 55 and over have fallen in the past year, possibly as a result of treatment and subsequent muscle weakness, difficulty with balance, and impaired walking. Multiple studies have looked at the long term effects of cancer treatment and survivorship, but few studies look at interventions to combat decline in function. The purpose of this case report was to report the interventions utilized in the treatment of an individual …
