Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis As A Wakeup Call: A Qualitative Analysis Of Family Perceptions, Behavior Change, And Barriers To Weight Management, Curtis E. Walker Ii, Richard M. Schwend Md, Caleb Grote Md, Phd, Christina Boxx Msiop Ccrp, Sarah Hampl Md

Research Showcase

Background:

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is strongly associated with pediatric obesity, yet post-operative care often prioritizes surgical recovery without addressing broader lifestyle and metabolic risk factors. SCFE may represent a critical “wakeup call” for families to initiate health behavior change, but little is known about how families perceive and respond to this opportunity.

Objectives/Goal:

To qualitatively explore parental perceptions of SCFE etiology, obesity and weight management, post-operative behavior change, and perceived barriers to lifestyle modification following pediatric SCFE.

Methods/Design:

We conducted a qualitative study of parents of pediatric patients treated for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) at Children’s Mercy …

From Recommendation To Practice: Evaluating Utilization Of The Goldiloks Clinic Clinical Guidance In Psychiatric Conditions, Nicole M. Koziol, Lauren S. French, Sarah Clingan, Carmen Cecilia Martinez-Connor, Tracy L. Sandritter, Alexa L. Pagano, Laura Ramsey

Research Showcase

Background: The GOLDILOKs® (Genomic and Ontogeny-Linked Dose Individualization and Clinical Optimization for Kids) Clinic provides personalized care for children receiving pharmacologic therapy.1 Since opening in July 2010, clinic providers have offered genotype informed clinical guidance to pediatric patients and their healthcare providers. However, no comprehensive retrospective study has specifically examined psychiatric conditions to evaluate how frequently and effectively this clinical guidance is utilized by providers.

Objectives/Goal: The objectives are two-fold: (1) to evaluate the clinical guidance provided by the GOLDILOKs Clinic, and (2) to assess the utilization and implementation of these recommendations in patient treatment.

Methods/Design: Patient data was retrospectively …

Neonatal Outcomes In Term Infants With Maternal Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Use: A Retrospective Chart Review Before, During, And After The Covid-19 Pandemic., Carlie G. Gatlin, Venkatesh Sampath, Megan H. Tucker, Hung-Wen Yeh, Angela Bolton, Staci S. Elliott, Mary Anne Kucera, Kerry Kohrs, Deanna Mcpherson

Research Showcase

Background: Maternal antenatal selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use has been suggested as a risk factor for neonatal complications, though evidence remains inconclusive. Mental health conditions increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, raising questions about SSRI prescription trends. This study examines associations between maternal SSRI use and neonatal outcomes across three time periods: before, during, and after the pandemic.

Objectives/Goal: Primary: Determine if SSRI use in pregnancy is associated with NICU admission, respiratory support, hospital stay length, hypoglycemia, formula feeding, and/or delivery room resuscitation. Secondary: Assess SSRI prescription prevalence across pandemic phases.

Methods/Design: Retrospective chart review of term maternal-infant dyads born …

Implementation Of A Nebulized Tranexamic Acid Protocol For Pediatric Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage: A Quality Improvement Initiative, Blake A. Welker, Elie Khalifee, Kyle Swingerman, Andrea Nguyen, Dovan Khalifee, John Dahl, Janelle Noel-Macdonnell, Meghan Tracy, Elie Khalifee

Research Showcase

Problem Statement/Question: Will a standardized nebulized TXA protocol reduce the need for surgical control of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage without increasing adverse clinical outcomes?

Background/Project Intent (Aim Statement): Emerging evidence suggests that tranexamic acid (TXA), a widely used antifibrinolytic agent, may be effective in the management of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH). We hypothesized that initiation of a standardized nebulized TXA protocol would reduce the need for surgical control of bleeding without increasing adverse clinical outcomes.

Methods (include PDSA cycles): This quality improvement (QI) project included patients < 18 who underwent extracapsular tonsillectomy and subsequently presented with PTH. Three cohorts were analyzed: a pre-intervention group (January 2020-June 2022), a non-standardized TXA phase following departmental review of emerging evidence (PDSA cycle 1; July 2022- December 2023), and a standardized nebulized TXA protocol phase (PDSA cycle 2; January 2024-July 2025). The primary outcome was surgical intervention for PTH. Balancing measures included hospital length of stay, blood product transfusions, 30-day readmissions, and TXA-attributable complications. Data was analyzed using statistical process control methods.

Results: A total of 501 patients were included (median age 7.2 years). Rates of surgical control decreased …

Expanding Resident Knowledge And Self-Efficacy In Addressing Medical Mistrust, Tyandra Moore, Frances Turcotte Benedict, Emily Killough, Dominique N. Lewis, Leah N. Jones

Research Showcase

Background: Medical mistrust—rooted in historical and contemporary inequities—remains a critical barrier to optimal healthcare access across all communities. Despite its significant impact on patient engagement and health outcomes, graduate medical education (GME) programs rarely provide structured training on medical mistrust and its effects on patients, families, and medical providers. Understanding how educational interventions influence resident physicians' knowledge and confidence in addressing medical mistrust is essential for developing effective, evidence-based curricula that prepare physicians to deliver equitable, patient-centered care.

Objectives/Goal: To evaluate pediatric residents' knowledge of medical mistrust and self-efficacy in addressing it before and after participating in a case-based educational …

How Licensing Compromised The Library, Aaron Perzanowski

Seattle University Law Review Online

Public libraries are besieged on multiple fronts: spiraling costs, budget cuts, book bans, patron privacy risks, inaccessible digital exclusives, embargoed titles, and unstable collections—not the mention a general decline in reading coupled with an upswing in reliance on artificial intelligence. No single development can explain all of the many challenges facing libraries today. But this Article argues that the shift from library-owned print collections to licensed digital ones is an overlooked throughline that has contributed to this constellation of challenges in underappreciated ways. For centuries, the first sale doctrine gave libraries broad autonomy over what they acquired, preserved, and lent. …

Leveraging Technology, Copyright, And Libraries To Benefit The Public Interest, Michelle Wu

Seattle University Law Review Online

Rapid developments in technology have radically changed the practice of copyright; however, this revolution has provided disproportionate, lopsided advantages to corporate interests over public ones. For example, publishers today can charge the same buyer for the same e-book many times over while simultaneously depriving them of the rights normally conveyed with purchase, such as the rights to resale, donation, lending, and bequeathing. Technology itself is a neutral tool, so there is no reason that the current landscape must be so unbalanced. This Article explores two ways in which libraries can both maximize the public benefits of knowledge and provide added …

Beyond The Library Of Congress: The Federal Library Ecosystem As Democratic Information Infrastructure, Nancy E. Weiss

Seattle University Law Review Online

This Article argues that the federal library ecosystem functions as democratic information infrastructure embedded within the institutional design of the United States government. Operationalized through national libraries, agency libraries, and federally supported library networks, this system organizes, preserves, and disseminates authoritative information, thereby supporting effective governance, public welfare, scientific progress, and democratic accountability.

The Article traces the development of this infrastructure from the establishment of the nation’s first federal library within the U.S. Department of State through the evolution of federal support for library services under the Library Services and Technology Act. Through two case studies—the United States implementation of …

Why The Library Of Congress Matters More Than Ever, Hope O'Keeffe

Seattle University Law Review Online

In a symposium examining the broader importance of libraries, this Article makes the case for why the Library of Congress (LOC) is itself essential. Because the LOC’s broad range of programs is little known, this Article first summarizes the collections and components of the LOC and the ways it provides key resources to the American people and library communities. It then focuses on LOC programs that best illustrate the TILE Institute’s[1] technology, innovation, and ethics principles and concludes with a discussion of the importance of maintaining not just a national library, but a nonpartisan, politically independent Library of Congress. …

Problem-Based Learning: A Necessity For Social Studies Education, Judson T. Kidd

Teaching Social Studies in the Peach State

Abstract:

This paper explores the design and implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) for middle and secondary classrooms, emphasizing its role in fostering critical thinking and postformal reasoning. A successful PBL framework consists of three interconnected stages: problem identification, evaluation, and solution development. Contextualization, the first stage, should be designed to engage learners and root them in the issue that is under study. The second stage focuses on the student being exposed to and evaluating multiple perspectives and actors. This step requires carefully designed guiding questions so that students have a model of interpretation that allows them to practice critical thinking …

Building The Foundation For Stem In Toddler Classrooms: Practical Strategies For Novice Teachers, Melissa L. Johnson

Spark! Innovations in Early Childhood Education: A Research-to-Practice Journal for Educators

Young children are natural explorers, and even in the toddler years, they demonstrate the inquiry behaviors foundational to later science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning. However, early STEM experiences are often underutilized in toddler classrooms, primarily due to misconceptions about children's capabilities and a lack of developmentally appropriate resources. This article, written for novice educators, offers practical strategies and examples to help integrate STEM into toddler classrooms. Drawing on current research, national standards, and classroom-based implementation strategies, this piece outlines how to create engaging environments that support toddlers' curiosity and emerging STEM thinking across science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
