Comparative Analysis Of The Rosa Robot Accuracy For The Placement Of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy Probes, Zunaira Imran, Anneliese Rademacher, Hassan Fadel

Medical Student Research Symposium

Laser thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive treatment for intracranial lesions with success dependent on precise placement of the laser probe. The Robotic Surgical Assistant (ROSA) ONE Brain robotic platform is one stereotactic method that is used to aid this process.

This study examined the accuracy of LITT probe placement utilizing the ROSA robot, comparing entry distance, target distance, and entry angle errors across two major LITT platforms: Neuroblate (Monteris Medical) and Visualase Systems.

A prospective review of patients who underwent LITT from 2013 to 2023 with the ROSA was performed. Statistical analyses were performed with the sign test, …

Differences In Self-Reported Cancer Measures Persist Despite Covid-Era Improved Insurance Access, Ismail Mustafa Aijazuddin, Ammar M. Sukari

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background:

The Covid-19 pandemic has challenged healthcare access, jeopardizing cancer-related health measures. However, pandemic-era health policies led to increased health insurance coverage across most counties in the United States. This study aims to explore relationships between uninsured rates and cancer prevalence and screening behaviors.

Methods:

Data were collected from the CDC’s PLACES datasets for the 2021 (collected 2018-2019) and 2024 (collected 2022) release years and merged at the county level. For both 2021 and 2024 releases, Pearson’s correlation and student’s t-test were performed between uninsured rates and the age-standardized rates of the following at the county level: cancer prevalence, colorectal …

Minimum Clinically Important Difference Values For Promis Pi And Ue After Distal Radius Fractures In Operative Vs. Non-Operative Procedures, Rahul Bodapati, Michaela Rasmussen, Mary Zylinsky, Nebiyat Girma, Charles S. Day

Title: Minimum Clinically Important Difference Values for PROMIS PI and UE After Distal Radius Fractures in Operative vs. Non-Operative Procedures

Authors: Michaela Rasmussen, Mary Zylinski, Nebiyat M. Girma, Rahul Bodapati, Charles S. Day

Introduction:

The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) is the smallest change after a procedure that is meaningful to the patient. However, there is limited data on the MCID for operative and non-operative treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) which could provide objective data for both providers and patients, in treatment planning and postoperative counseling.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study included patients treated for distal radius fractures (DRF) …

Midnight Misses: Imaging Addenda And Pediatric Outcomes, Katelyn A. Toloff, Laura Geneseo, Samantha Carranza, Elika Ridelman Phd, Christina Shanti Md

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background: Radiology misreads can adversely impact healthcare delivery, leading to delays in care, suboptimal interventions, or harm through inappropriate discharge or procedures. This ongoing project investigates the frequency of addenda in radiology reports, the underlying reasons for addenda, and their clinical implications for patient care. This study analyzes 1,692 pediatric trauma patients seen in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital of Michigan (CHM) between January 2022 and December 2023. Key variables include: interpreter PGY level, anatomic location, imaging modality, time of reads, severity and type of misinterpretation (e.g., false negatives/positives), and clinical outcomes.

Hypothesis: Our hypothesis posits that pediatric trauma …

Seasonal Algal Blooms Produce Stress-Inducing Toxins And Impair The Growth Of Normal Lung Cells, Mehrnoosh Ghafouri, Mehrnaz Ghafourii Abbas Abadi, Ezekiel Israel, Cherie Southwood, Nicholas Perino, Dr. Judy Westrick Ph.D, Dr. Andrew M. Fribley Ph.D

Medical Student Research Symposium

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) occur in freshwater, and marine waters which pose a world-wide public health threat. Anthropogenic factors such as global climate change are increasing the frequency and intensity of cHABs in water supplies. People who live near, or consume water affected by, cHABs have reported very high rates of allergy, asthma and other inflammatory lung maladies. The current study investigates on how cylidrospermopsin (CSM) a small alkyloid toxin produced during cHABs, affects growth and immunotoxic gene responses in human lung cells. Concentration-response assays revealed that CSM reduces the proliferation of cultured non-malignant human lung fibroblasts, MRC-5, in …

Electronic Health Record Documentation Of Cannabis Use In Pregnancy: A Retrospective Chart Review, Gloria Fung, Mia Boulay, Amela Rugova, Hsueh-Han Yeh, Amy M. Loree, Alyssa M. Vanderziel

Medical Student Research Symposium

Introduction: Cannabis is the most commonly used federally illicit drug during pregnancy. Despite its rising prevalence, there are few well-controlled studies evaluating the impact of prenatal cannabis use (PCU) on fetal development, and clinical guidelines addressing PCU are limited. This study examines electronic health record (EHR) documentation of PCU to better understand how PCU is addressed within obstetric encounters.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 8,323 patients with pregnancy outcomes in 2023 at a Midwestern healthcare system. Patients with and without documented PCU were identified using ICD-10 codes and positive urine drug screen (UDS) results. A random sample …

Breaking Down Barriers: A Literature Review Understanding Cervical Cancer Screening In Hispanic Women, Deni Peterson, Rina Badran, Farheen Vali, Lindsay Martin-Engle Dr.

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background/Purpose:

Hispanic women have one of the highest cervical cancer rates, with a 32% higher incidence than non-Hispanic white women1. This highlights a gap in critical preventive care within the Hispanic community. This review aims to explore these barriers Hispanic women face in accessing cervical cancer screenings and what can be done to address them.

Methods:

Barriers to cervical cancer screening in Hispanic women were identified through peer-reviewed articles from PubMed. Three independent researchers assessed journal eligibility based on publication date, relevance, and study quality. The search utilized the keywords “cervical cancer,” “screening,” “Hispanic women,” and “Latinas,” and was limited …

Epistemic Injustice In Marginalised Patient Populations: Reconceptualising Health Inequities Through The Lens Of Social Epistemology, Kaab Husain, Laiba Husain Dphil, Amina Zarzi

Medical Student Research Symposium

This paper examines epistemic injustice in healthcare settings and its implications for health services research and clinical practice. Epistemic injustice, the systematic devaluation of patients' knowledge and experiences, particularly affects marginalized populations. Drawing on empirical studies and theoretical literature, we analyse how this phenomenon manifests in clinical encounters, impacts health outcomes, and perpetuates health disparities. Our findings indicate that epistemic injustice contributes to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and reduced patient engagement, ultimately affecting healthcare quality and effectiveness. We explore the implications for patient-centred care, health equity, and quality improvement, discussing how recognizing epistemic injustice can inform research methodologies, clinical guidelines, and …
