College of Health Professions Newsletters & Magazines

"The continuous growth and diversification of programs in the College of Education and Health Professions has led the University to a decision to reconfigure the college into two distinct academic units -- the Isabelle Farrington College of Education and the College of Health Professions. The transition began with an announcement in May, and the new structure will be effective July 1, 2011"--From Dean Patricia Walker's introduction to this issue of Reflections.

Transforming Lives And Communities: A Case Study On Building Partnerships In The Philippines Through Appreciative Inquiry, Rizalina L. Ababa

Capstone Collection

The growing number of poor in the Philippines is alarming. Neither the national government nor any individual organization acting alone has been able to alleviate the rising percentage of poverty. With this prevalent need in the country, networks, alliances and partnerships among several organizations, including faith-based organizations, have been established to help respond to the needs of those living in poverty.

OM Philippines–Cebu Ministries, a faith-based Christian organization was started in 2001. It has worked specifically among the poor through children’s programs in partnership with local Protestant churches. Like many NGOs, OM Philippines has been exploring new strategies to expand …

Building A Global Community, Matthew Carlin

Honors Capstones

The world is flatter now than ever before and this creates great opportunities but also great problems. One of the biggest problems to arise is a lack of understanding between cultures. This paper looks at one process of learning culture through study abroad and how to enhance that experience with volunteer work. Secondary research was used to learn the history, benefits, and drawbacks of both study abroad and volunteer work. Two surveys were designed to gather primary sources to confirm the secondary research. Through this research, I found that study abroad is trending towards a more meaningful cultural experience. There …

Communicating Health Care Options: Dominican Herbal Remedies In The Dominican Republic And New York City, Marisa K. Crommett

Honors Theses

As the second largest minority group in New York City (NYC), the population of Dominican immigrants continues to increase. Their participation in the conventional health care system, however, remains low. Many barriers exist that discourage Dominicans from seeking conventional biomedical treatment and encourage their reliance on traditional healing practices. Dominican traditional medicine has potential to contribute to the urban health care system in NYC, but more research is needed on the safety and toxicity of ethnomedical remedies and practices. Without efforts to recognize immigrant-healing traditions in the urban setting, tensions between the conventional and alternative medical systems will persist. It …

Conflicts Of Interest In Clinical Practice Guidelines, Lisa Cosgrove, Allen F. Shaughnessy

Counseling, School Psychology & Sport Faculty Publication Series

Clinical practice guidelines are used increasingly across medical specialties and settings, making evaluation of their utility and validity a critical public health issue. In this paper, we describe some of the challenges that specialty organizations face as they try to ensure that their guidelines are trustworthy and useful. We examine the practice guidelines for Major Depressive Disorder recently published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), identify five sources of potential bias that may affect the guideline development process and offer suggestions based on our review. For example, even for mild depression, this guideline privileges pharmacotherapy over other interventions, despite questions …

Pericyte, Neural Crest And Adipocyte Differentiation Markers: Support For A Novel Hypothesis For The Origin Of Hemangiomas, Laura Tom

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Introduction: Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor of infancy. They are unique in that their behavioral course is well-described with a microvascular proliferative phase, quiescent phase and regressive fatty involuting phase. First, it is posited in this work that the cell of origin will have angiogenic and adipogenic properties, like the pericyte. Second, the predilection of the lesion to areas of embryologic fusions in the head and neck indicate that the neural crest may be involved. Previous research focused on the angiogenic characteristics of proliferating hemangiomas, this work is novel in that it investigates markers involved in adipogenesis. This …

Annual Reports - Education

From the earliest days of my career in orthopaedic surgery and chemical engineering, I have been fascinated with the prospect of regrowing bone and connective tissue to help patients regain mobility. It is now my privilege to be leading teams of scientists not only in my own lab but throughout the UConn Health Center who are pursuing promising research in this area. This includes Dr. David Rowe who has devoted most of his career to the study of osteogenesis imperfecta and is now pioneering new approaches for bone and tissue regeneration through the use of adult and embryonic stem cells. …

'This Open Sore Of The World:' The Legacy Of Dr. David Livingstone, The First Physician Missionary: Hero And Adventurer, Audrey Provenzano

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

At the end of the nineteenth century, Dr. David Livingstone became extraordinarily famous throughout Europe as the first physician-missionary. Livingstone embodied certain characteristics, adventurism and heroism, that Europeans found desirable and commendable. Livingstone issued a call for young men, particularly physicians, to follow him to Africa and continue his work. Using personal letters, journals, and other accounts of the physicians who followed Livingstone to Africa, specifically the region of Buganda, this paper explores how these themes of heroism and adventurism can be traced through the lives of the physicians who responded to Livingstones call. This paper traces these common themes …

Toward Innovative, Liveable, And Prosperous Asian Megacities Gawad Kalinga: Innovation In The City (And Beyond), Raymund B. Habaradas, Martin Lorenzo Aquino

Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies (AKI)

Gawad Kalinga (GK) is an innovative approach that could be the key to solving poverty and homelessness in the Philippines. It is potentially an effective, sustainable, and replicable model that could address the problem of urban housing in the developing world. Its most important innovation is a shift in paradigm of what community development ought to be. Instead of looking at members of the poor communities as passive actors (i.e. as mere recipients of donations or as beneficiaries of support programs), GK considers them as active participants in the development process. Through the help of the caretaker team and the …
