Physician Assistant/Associate Mentorship In Academic Medical Centers: Is It Necessary? A Literature Review, Allana Lewis

SIU Journal of Medical Science Scholarly Works

ABSTRACT

Background: The number of Physician Assistants/Associates (PAs) hired in academic medicine has increased over the years. Academic medical centers provide opportunities for research, clinical practice, and educational advancement. However, the status of professional mentorship opportunities specific to PAs in academic medical settings is unclear. PAs in academic medical settings are exposed to career opportunities beyond clinical practice, including research and academic education. A greater interest in the number of PAs seeking career advancement within academic medicine may arise as the number of PAs obtaining Doctor of Medical Science degrees (DMSc) increases. The purpose of this literature review is to …

Fast Discovery Of Motivic Patterns In Symbolic Music Via Lossy Compression, Adam James Wilson

Publications and Research

Generative systems that react to live musicians require rapid analysis of musical data, which rules out deep learning models: they cannot be trained within the time constraints of live performance. But because analysis results are often transformed before use, we are free to reduce the parameters that undergo transformation to a small set of primitive states. We address this coincidence of constraint and opportunity with an algorithm for online discovery of maximal musical motives that achieves speed through lossy compression: the pitch and inter-onset-interval deltas for all pairs of events in a potential motive are reduced to two-bit values, conceptualized …

Young Adults’ Perceptions Of Their Life Course Development After Their Parents Were Imprisoned For Violent Crimes, Selena Robinson

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Parental incarceration is an adverse childhood experience that can influence children’s emotional, educational, relational, and developmental outcomes into adulthood. Although previous research had examined the effects of parental incarceration on children, limited research had explored how young adults perceive their life course development when a parent was incarcerated for a violent crime. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to explore the perceptions of young adults, age 18–25, regarding their life course development following parental incarceration for a violent crime. Elder’s life course development theory was the framework for this study. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with three …

Death: The Great Antagonist In Poe’S “The Cask Of Amontillado”, Majed S. Al-Lehaibi

Journal of Arts and Social Sciences

Poe’s story “The Cask of Amontillado” has been read as a story of a premeditated crime, of revenge and the protagonist’s ultimate pride in his well-executed crime. Readers are repulsed by the sheer evil of Montresor, the main character of the story. However, this paper argues that this reading barely scratches the surface of the depth and complexity of this story. It argues that the story is told in the form of a confession. The narrator, an elderly Montresor, is full of remorse, and in telling the story, he is seeking absolution. In its deeper meaning, “The Cask of Amontillado” …

Social Interactions Between People Living With Dementia And Staff In Health And Social Care Settings: A Scoping Review, Stephanie Janka-Spurlock, Georgia Page, Gary Hodge, Helen Lloyd, Susie Pearce

School of Nursing and Midwifery

Dementia is an umbrella term for progressive conditions affecting memory, thinking, communication and other cognitive functions. These changes can make social interaction challenging, particularly in unfamiliar or overstimulating environments. Although social interactions between staff and people living with dementia are recognised as an aspect of care, existing literature across health and social care settings largely focuses on general care needs and experiences rather than social interaction specifically. Consequently, there is limited understanding of the types of social interactions that occur and the contextual factors influencing them. This scoping review aims to address this gap by mapping existing research on social …

Patient-Centered Summarization Framework For Ai Clinical Summarization: Mixed Methods Study, Maria Lizarazo Jimenez, Ana Gabriela Claros, Kieran Green, David Toro-Tobon, Felipe Larios, Sheena Asthana, Camila Wenczenovicz, Kerly Guevara Maldonado, Luis Vilatuna-Andrango, Ana Cristina Proano, Satya Sai Sri Bandi, Shubhangi Bagewadi, Megan E. Branda, Misk Al Zahidy, Saturnino Luz, Mirella Lapata, Juan P. Brito, Oscar J. Ponce-Ponte

School of Nursing and Midwifery

Background: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly demonstrating the potential to reach human-level performance in generating clinical summaries from patient-clinician conversations. LLMs are usually evaluated against clinical summaries that focus mainly on patients’ biology and not on their biography (eg, preferences, values, wishes, and concerns). To achieve patient-centered care, artificial intelligence clinical summarization must incorporate patient-centered domains, implemented through patient-centered summaries (PCSs). Objective: This study aimed to develop a framework to generate PCS that capture patients’ values, preferences, and wishes while ensuring clinical utility for clinicians, and assess if current open-source LLMs can achieve human-level performance in generating PCS. Methods: …

Hidden In Plain Sight: Uk Social Work Educator Views Of Preparedness To Work With Individuals And Families Affected By Abi., Caroline Bald, Alyson Norman, Akudo Amediegwu, Talis Spirit, Temi Ademakinwa, Mark A. Linden, Mark Holloway, Michael Clarke, Andrew Bateman

School of Psychology

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is the leading cause of adulthood injury-related death and disability worldwide. Despite ABI’s prevalence, little is known about the extent to which social workers are prepared for brain injury working and specifically pre-qualifying brain injury curricula. This study employed a nine-item survey regarding brain injury social work knowledge. The survey asked about curricula inclusion within social work pre-qualification via multiple education providers to understand the extent to which brain injury training is incorporated within UK courses. This included a series of open-ended questions. Data from 36 survey respondents identified that 1) there was an acknowledged gap …
