Obesity Does Not Significantly Impact Clinical Outcomes Following Anterior Cervical Discectomy And Fusion, Ishan Shah, Alejandro Perez-Albela, Riya Shah, Charles Furlong, Puru Sadh, John Czerwein, Alan Daniels, Bryce A Basques

SKMC Student Presentations and Publications

BACKGROUND: With obesity rates rising among patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and more procedures shifting to outpatient settings, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on complications, sagittal alignment, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs).

METHODS: A prospectively maintained database of 302 patients who underwent ACDF for myelopathy or radiculopathy between 2020 and 2022 at a single academic center was analyzed. Patients were stratified into four BMI categories: normal (18.5-< 25), overweight (25-< 30), obese class I (30-< 35), and obese class II/III (≥35). Collected data included demographics, comorbidities, perioperative variables, radiographic measures (cSVA, Cobb angle, etc.), and PROs (VAS, NDI). Univariate regression compared demographics, alignment, and PROs, while multivariate analyses assessed complications and perioperative factors.

RESULTS: BMI was not independently associated with higher rates of postoperative complications, including adjacent segment disease, subsidence, reoperation, or other adverse events. Patients in …

Local Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (Ace2) Enzymatic Activity Modulates Cholinergic Interneuron Function In The Dorsolateral Striatum, Aria R. Walls

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is an ancestrally ancient peptidergic signaling pathway best known for its role regulating blood pressure in the periphery. However, its presence and importance in the central nervous system has more recently been identified and is less well understood. Previous work shows RAS is expressed in the nigrostriatal pathway of the basal ganglia and has been implicated in basal ganglia disorders including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Interestingly, the canonical and noncanonical arms of the RAS pathway produce opposite effects on PD disease vulnerability and progression. The shift from the neurodegenerative canonical RAS to …

Design Of Lithium-Based Battery Electrolyte Compositions For Extreme Operating Conditions Using Alternative Solvents, Co-Solvents And Additives, Michael J. Keating

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Lithium-ion battery utilization is widespread due to relatively high capacity and long cycle life. Advanced technologies have specific demands of their energy storage devices that traditional Li-ion batteries are unable to meet. Lithium-ion batteries utilize a graphite anode which has a limited theoretical capacity. Traditional lithium-ion batteries also utilize flammable solvents in their electrolyte mixtures. Due to the flammable electrolyte, lithium-ion batteries are not considered practical for large scale applications. Additionally, the lithium-ion battery has a narrow optimal operating temperature window. The temperature limitation of lithium-ion batteries leads to issues for many applications such as operating in extreme temperature environments, …
