The Effect Of Induction With Remimazolam Vs. Propofol In The Incidence Of Postoperative Delirium In Geriatric Patients, Bailey R. Byrne, Mary Beth Greenway

Group: Samford University Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is an acute disturbance in mental status that typically occurs within the first five postoperative days.

Although anxious preoperatively, she did not receive anxiolytic medication. General anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, lidocaine, propofol, and succinylcholine. …

Dear Reader,

This collection is the result of JCCC students’ efforts to reflect on the college’s decades long relationship with Centro Integral Comunitario (CIC) in Las Pintas, Mexico. Before they left on the trip, each student interviewed someone from JCCC who had traveled with the college to Las Pintas in the past. The first section of this book includes what students learned from their pre-departure interviews.

In the second part of this book, students wrote about what they learned from interviewing people who they met in Las Pintas. While these interviews were conducted in Spanish, the students wrote their …

The Life And Ministry Of Dr. Kate C. Woodhull, Elaine B. Peters

The Asbury Journal

This paper examines the life and ministry of Dr. Kate C. Woodhull, the first female physician sent to China by the Woman’s Board of Missions, as a case study in women’s medical missions in late Qing China. Drawing on archival and published sources, it traces Woodhull’s medical training, her twenty-eight years of service in Fuzhou, and the integration of healthcare, education, and evangelism in her work. The study highlights both the cultural assumptions shaping her missionary outlook and her sustained advocacy for Chinese women, whom she trained as medical and Christian workers, leaving an institutional and social impact.
