Neuromuscular Strengthening Exercises Following Acl And Meniscal Repair In A 15 Year Old Female Athlete With Generalized Knee Laxity: A Case Report, Alyssa Gardner, Kirsten Buchanan

Case Report Posters

Adolescent females are 4-6 times more likely to sustain a non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury compared to their male counterparts. Generalized knee laxity decreases dynamic knee stability and significantly increases the odds of an ACL injury 5-fold. It is crucial to return the surgically repaired knee to its former function. However, it is just as vital to direct attention to the uninjured knee with joint laxity. Research has found that those who have torn one ACL are six time more likely to tear the contralateral ACL. There is currently a lack of research that directly addresses intervention programs that …

Adjunctive Appliance Wear And Gender Affect Patients' Oral Health-Related Quality Of Life During The Late Stage Of Orthodontic Treatment In Adolescents, Monica Dinh

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Objective: This study was conducted to determine how oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) changes during the late stage of comprehensive fixed orthodontic treatment in adolescents and what factors may be involved. Background: Completion of orthodontic treatment has been shown to improve patients’ OHQoL due to the changes in esthetics, function and emotional well-being. The levels of OHQoL fluctuate throughout treatment where an initial decrease within the first 6 months occurs followed by an improvement towards patients’ pre-treatment levels. At 18 months of fixed orthodontic treatment, the level is unclear. The aims of this study were to clarify the changes …

Teen Births In South Dakota, 2006-2014, Wei Bai, Bonny Specker, Lon Kightlinger

Ethel Austin Martin Program Publications

According to the Office of Adolescent Health at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the teen birth rate in the U.S. has dropped continuously over the past 20 years and dropped 10% nationwide between 2012 and 2013. In 2013, about 273,000 babies were born nationally to adolescent teens aged 15-19 years for a rate of 26.5/1,000 adolescent females. According to the data from the World Bank, the U.S. teen birth rate in 2010-14 was higher than that of many developed countries, including Canada, Japan, Australia, and the majority of European countries. Teen pregnancies are associated with negative outcomes …

Primary Care Management Of Plantar Fasciitis, Thomas J. Melvin Pharmd, Zach J. Tankersly Dpm, Zain N. Quazi, John J. Jasko, Russell Odono Md, Franklin D. Shuler Md, Phd

Orthopaedics

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is present in 10% of the population and is the most common cause of plantar heel pain. PF is painful, can alter daily activities and presents as a sharp pain localized to the plantar foot and medial heel. The underlying etiology involves microtrauma to the plantar fascia, specifically at its insertion point on the calcaneus. Successful management of plantar fasciitis is typically achieved with the conservative therapy approaches discussed.

Engaging Older Adults To Build Social Capital, Beverly K. Lunsford, Danielle Janes

Nursing Faculty Publications

Countries are considering the healthcare implications as the proportion of older adults increases, including rising healthcare costs and resources needed as more adults want to "age in place" or continue living in the community. More in home resources and support services will be needed for older adults to continue living independently at homes. Older adults are an incredibly untapped resource with a continuing need to contribute to society and a willingness to help others. Older adults are working longer than ever before, so they have the potential to build their own social capital for meeting the needs of aging colleagues. …

Carcinogenic Liver Fluke Secretes Extracellular Vesicles That Promote Cholangiocytes To Adopt A Tumorigenic Phenotype, Sujittra Chaidayet, Javier Sotillo, Michael Smout, Cinzia Cantacessi, Malcolm Jones, Paul J. Brindley, Jeffrey M. Bethony, +9 Additional Authors

Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropical Medicine Faculty Publications

Background. Throughout Asia there is an unprecedented link between cholangiocarcinoma and infection with the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini. Multiple processes including chronic inflammation and secretion of parasite proteins into the biliary epithelium drive infection towards cancer. Until now, the mechanism and effects of parasite protein entry into cholangiocytes was unknown.

Methods. Various microscopy techniques were used to identify O. viverrini extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their internalization by human cholangiocytes. Using mass spectrometry we characterised the EV proteome and associated changes in cholangiocytes after EV uptake, and detected EV proteins in bile of infected hamsters and humans. Cholangiocyte proliferation and …

Evaluation Of Cytosine Dna Methylation Of The Biomphalaria Glabratahe At Shock Protein 70 Locus After Biological And Physiological Stresses, Wannaporn Ittiprasert, Andre Miller, Matty Knight, Matt Tucker, Michael H. Hsieh

Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropical Medicine Faculty Publications

Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) methylation is one of the widespread epigenetic modifications of genomic DNA, and has been postulated to be a predisposing influence on disease onset and infections. The ability to quantify differences in DNA methylation between the genomes of normal vs.stressed Biomphalaria glabrata would help to profile changes potentially linked to resistance to Schistosoma mansoni infection. Thus, this study sought to measure differences in cytosine DNA methylation of various B. glabrata tissues responding over time to either biological or physiological stresses (S. mansoni exposure vs. heat shock). Here, this study measured DNA methylation at the B. glabrataheat …

Patient Satisfaction Of Surgical Treatment Of Clitoral Phimosis And Labial Adhesions Caused By Lichen Sclerosus, Anne N. Flynn, Michelle King, Mollie Rieff, Jill A. Krapf, Andrew T. Goldstein

Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Publications

Introduction

Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis, usually affecting the anogenital skin in women. This chronic inflammation can cause scarring of genitalia including narrowing of the introitus and phimosis of the clitoris. These architectural changes can lead to recurrent tearing during intercourse (vulvar granuloma fissuratum) and decreased clitoral sensation. Surgical correction of vulvar granuloma fissuratum (VGF) and clitoral phimosis can be performed, but there is little data on the patient satisfaction and complications following these surgical procedures.

Aim

To evaluate patient experience and outcomes in women undergoing surgical correction of scarring caused by anogenital LS.

Methods

A retrospective …

Segmented Nitinol Guidewires With Stiffness-Matched Connectors For Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Catheterization: Preserved Mechanical Performance And Freedom From Heating., Burcu Basar, Toby Rogers, Kanishka Ratnayaka, Adrienne E Campbell-Washburn, Jonathan R Mazal, William H Schenke, +4 Additional Authors

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Conventional guidewires are not suitable for use during cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) catheterization. They employ metallic shafts for mechanical performance, but which are conductors subject to radiofrequency (RF) induced heating. To date, non-metallic CMR guidewire designs have provided inadequate mechanical support, trackability, and torquability. We propose a metallic guidewire for CMR that is by design intrinsically safe and that retains mechanical performance of commercial guidewires.

METHODS: The NHLBI passive guidewire is a 0.035" CMR-safe, segmented-core nitinol device constructed using short nitinol rod segments. The electrical length of each segment is less than one-quarter wavelength at 1.5 Tesla, which eliminates …
