Trauma and Acute Care Articles

BACKGROUND: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a less-invasive technique for aortic occlusion (AO). Commonly performed in the emergency department (ED), the role of intraoperative placement is less defined. We hypothesized that operating room (OR) placement is associated with increased in-hospital mortality.

METHODS: The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma AORTA registry was used to identify patients undergoing REBOA. Injury characteristics and outcomes data were compared between OR and ED groups. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality; secondary outcomes included total AO time, transfusion requirements, and acute kidney injury.

RESULTS: Location and timing of catheter insertion …

Introduction Of A Hybrid Monitor For Cyber-Physical Systems, J. Ceasar Aguma, Bruce M. Mcmillin, Amelia Regan

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Computing systems and mobile technologies have changed dramatically since the introduction of firewall technology in 1988. The internet has grown from a simple network of networks to a cyber and physical entity that encompasses the entire planet. Cyber-physical systems(CPS) now control most of the day to day operations of human civilization from autonomous cars to nuclear energy plants. While phenomenal, this growth has created new security threats. These are threats that cannot be blocked by a firewall for they are not only cyber but cyber-physical. In light of these cyber-physical threats, this paper proposes a security measure that promises to …

Methods/analysis: The new intervention (Lifestyle Africa) consists of 17 weekly sessions delivered by trained community health workers (CHWs). In addition to educational and cultural adaptations of DPP content, the programme adds novel components of text messaging and …

The Growth And Development Of Sweet Basil (Ocimum Basilicum) And Bush Basil (Ocimum Minimum) Grown Under Three Light Regimes In A Controlled Environment, Mohammed Aldarkazali, Hail Z. Rihan, Demelza Carne, Michael P. Fuller

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Light is a crucial element for plant growth and production. In areas where natural light is not sufficient for optimal plant growth and production, high pressure sodium (HPS) light sources are widely used. However, HPS lamps are considered not very electrically efficient generating high radiant heat and as a consequence, there has been a lot of interest in replacing HPS lamps with new more efficient lighting sources in the form of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The effects of three lighting sources (White LED, Blue/Red LED and HPS) on the growth, development and on the essential oil yield and quality of sweet …

Abstract 13987: Underutilization Of Oral Anticoagulant Therapy In At-Risk Patients With Atrial Fibrillation—Insights From A Multistate Healthcare System, Tyler J Gluckman, Amir Ali, Mansen Wang, Howard Mun, Sally Alfred, John L. Petersen

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

Introduction: Oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy significantly reduces the risk of thromboembolism among at-risk patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Current guidelines provide strong support for an OAC in men and women with AF and CHA2DS2-VASc scores of >2 and >3, respectively. In spite of this, previous data has suggested that up to 40% of these patients are not treated in accordance with guideline recommendations.

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that OAC therapy continues to remain significantly underutilized among at-risk patients with AF in real-world settings.

Methods: We sought to evaluate the prevalence of OAC underuse and contributing factors in an ambulatory population of …
