The Role Of Adaptive Immunity In Chronic Hypoxia-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension, Levi David Maston

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Inflammation is a prominent pathologic feature in pulmonary arterial hypertension as demonstrated by pulmonary vascular infiltration of inflammatory cells, including T and B lymphocytes. However, the contribution of the adaptive immune system is not well characterized in pulmonary hypertension (PH) caused by chronic hypoxia (CH). Inflammatory cells, through various mechanisms, have the capability to increase pulmonary vascular resistance in various disease states. CD4⁺T cells have the potential to play a significant role in the disease process initiated by hypoxia. CD4⁺T cells are largely responsible for orchestrating downstream immune processes and are critical in focusing and amplifying …

Induction Techniques That Reduce Redistribution Hypothermia: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Single Blind Effectiveness Study., Jonathan V. Roth, Leonard E. Braitman, Lacy H. Hunt

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

BACKGROUND: While much effort has been devoted to correcting intraoperative hypothermia, less attention has been directed to preventing redistribution hypothermia. In this study, we compared three different anesthetic induction techniques to standard IV propofol inductions (control) in their effect on reducing redistribution hypothermia.

METHODS: Elective, afebrile patients, age 18 to 55 years, were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 50 each). Group "INH/100" was induced with 8% sevoflurane in 100% oxygen, Group "INH/50" with 8% sevoflurane in 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide, Group "PROP" with 2.2 mg/kg propofol, and Group "Phnl/PROP" with 2.2 mg/kg propofol immediately …

Developing A Computer-Managed Mentor Matching System For Graduate Students, Donna J. Knudsen

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Changes to the higher education landscape resulting from digital-age advancements in technology limit the opportunities for doctoral students and faculty to find one another for research and mentorship pairings as they once did when higher education was a wholly brick and mortar enterprise. Further, doctoral student attrition has remained unmoved at approximately 50% since the 1990s, with studies consistently citing the absence of mentoring (or doctoral students’ dissatisfaction with their mentors) as chief among the factors that contribute to the high rate of attrition. Some predict that the rate of doctoral attrition is as much as 20% higher for programs …

Multimodal Treatment And Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Trends, Utilization And Survival Effects In Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma – A Propensity Score Analysis, Ovie Utuama

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinomas (ICC) are fatal malignancies common among the elderly. Patients are diagnosed late and often relapse, even after curative-intent surgery (CIS). In this context, additional systemic chemotherapy (multimodal treatment) is recommended for most patients but reported survival benefits are minimal and are limited to small single institutional studies. For this reason, using a national cancer registry, we sought to characterize multimodal treatment trends and utilization in general and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, specifically, as well as evaluate their survival effects among the larger population. We hypothesized that, 1). Elderly ICC patients would have survival benefits equivalent to younger patients, 2). Neoadjuvant …

Using Teach-Back To Impact Readmission Rates, Joyce M. Soule

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Chronic conditions effect 60% of the nation's population and account for 90% of healthcare dollars spent (Irving, 2017). Patient education is a key element in reducing readmissions. Nurses have an obligation to effectively educate patients in a way they understand. Research demonstrates that teach-back positively impacts patient literacy and adherence.

Straight From The Nurse's Mouth: Ebp Knowledge Among Beginning Rns, Rachel A. Ramsey

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Clear conceptualization of new nurses' EBP knowledge is needed to address concerns about inadequate EBP in nursing. This hybrid concept analysis revealed a gap between existing conceptualizations and new nurses' understandings of EBP knowledge, and shaped a new conceptual definition. The findings illuminate opportunities for tailoring interventions directed at EBP.

Prophylactic Effects Of Isomaltodextrin In A Balb/C Mouse Model Of Egg Allergy, Yoshinori Mine, Yan Jin, Hua Zhang, Prithy Rupa, Kaustav Majumder, Takeo Sakurai, Yoshifumi Taniguchi, Ryodai Takagaki, Hikaru Watanabe, Hitoshi Mitsuzumi

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of isomaltodextrin (IMD), a dietary saccharide polymer derived from enzymatically produced from starch, on the ability to alter immune response (IR) bias to hen egg ovalbumin (Ova) induced allergic inflammation in mice. Groups of Balb/c mice were pre-treated with various doses of IMD in drinking water (1.0, 2.5, and 5.0% w/v) for 6 weeks and subsequently sensitized to the Ova together with continuous administration of IMD. To evaluate changes in immune response bias, immunoglobulin isotype-associated antibody activity, concentrations of type 1 and 2 cytokines and the percentage of T-regulatory …

‘A Healthy Cit’: An Investigation Into Student Health Metrics, Lifestyle Behaviours And The Predictors Of Positive Mental Health In An Irish Higher Education Setting, Andrea Bickerdike, Joan Dineen, Cian O'Neill

Publications

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are potent health promotion settings, uniquely positioned to aid societal efforts to combat non-communicable diseases (NCDs). International evidence suggests that health metrics and lifestyle behaviours of higher education students are sub-optimal, yet a dearth of contemporary Irish data exists. This study aimed to examine sex differences in student lifestyle behaviours and identify significant predictors of positive mental health in an Irish HEI setting. An online questionnaire instrument distributed to all registered students (n = 11,261) gathered data regarding a multitude of health and lifestyle domains. Many items were adapted from previous Irish research. Further validated scales …

Overcoming The Shadow Of Expertise: How Humility And Learning Goal Orientation Help Knowledge Leaders Become More Flexible, Mai P. Trinh

Management Faculty Publications

Although experts are valuable assets to organizations, they suffer from the curse of knowledge and cognitive entrenchment, which prevents them from being able to adapt to changing situational demands. In this study, I propose that experts’ performance goal orientation resulting from pressures to perform contributes to their flexibility, but this mechanism can be moderated by learning goal orientation and humility. Data from a small sample of healthcare professionals suggested that performance goal orientation partially explained the mechanism of why experts may be inflexible. Humility, both as self-report and other-report measures, was found to be the most consistent moderator of this …

An Autobiographical Narrative Of A Principal's Personal Journey With Autonomy, Delilah Rabeiro

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Educational reform and state policies have stripped principals and teachers of autonomy, and this has been attributed as one of the reasons why teachers leave the profession. Adamson (2012) stated, "To implement reform at their school sites, principals need a certain degree of autonomy. This study sought to understand what I experienced of autonomy as I embarked on my journey as a principal of a turnaround school; what I did, or did not do, to extend autonomy to teachers; and what I came understand about autonomy in this turnaround setting.

This was an autobiographical narrative inquiry (Freeman, 2007; Saleh, Menon, …

Pain, Functional Disability, And Their Association In Juvenile Fibromyalgia Compared To Other Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases., Mark Connelly, Jennifer E Weiss, Carra Registry Investigators

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

BACKGROUND: Severe pain and impairments in functioning are commonly reported for youth with juvenile fibromyalgia. The prevalence and impact of pain in other diseases commonly managed in pediatric rheumatology comparatively have been rarely systematically studied. The objective of the current study was to determine the extent to which high levels of pain and functional limitations, and the strength of their association, are unique to youth with juvenile primary fibromyalgia syndrome/JPFS) relative to other pediatric rheumatic diseases.

METHODS: Using data from 7753 patients enrolled in the multinational Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Legacy Registry, we compared the levels and …
