Management Of A Patient In Septic Shock With Necrotizing Fasciitis And Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Avery Conkin Apr 2025

Management Of A Patient In Septic Shock With Necrotizing Fasciitis And Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Avery Conkin

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Each year over 1.7 million adults in the United States develop sepsis with 350,000 of those patients dying or being discharged to hospice. Sepsis is broken into four tiers: systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock. These tiers define the severity of the patient’s condition. This case report details a patient presenting to the emergency department in septic shock and discusses the management of his condition. A 58 year-old white male presented with altered mental status, bradycardia, hypotension, and leg wounds. On presentation, he appeared gravely ill and his last known well was 2 days prior. On …


Establishing A Mouse Model Of Post-Traumatic Epilepsy Using Video-Eeg-Ecg Monitoring, Raina Desai Apr 2025

Establishing A Mouse Model Of Post-Traumatic Epilepsy Using Video-Eeg-Ecg Monitoring, Raina Desai

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and permanent disability. Patients with TBI are at an increased risk of developing post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), and it has been estimated that PTE may account for up to 20% of symptomatic epilepsy cases in the general population. The process of epileptogenesis is defined as the mechanism by which a brain insult starts a cascade that culminates in the development of spontaneous seizures. Following TBI, the occurrence of seizures has been categorized as immediate (< 24 h), early (days), or latent (weeks). These immediate and early seizures are considered to reflect the severity of the injury itself, whereas the latent seizures are thought to result from maturation of epileptogenic pathology. The specific objective of this pilot study was to establish a protocol for video-EEG-ECG of mice following TBI to determine latent PTE development. Mice underwent surgery and EEG-ECG electrodes were placed immediately prior to TBI via controlled cortical impact. We initially chose 2 depth levels of injury (1mm and 1.5mm). We determined that 1.5 mm led to a high mortality rate, leading us to proceed with 1 mm. Currently, we have detected (and verified) seizures in two of four mice at 4 weeks post injury. An additional 8 mice have been EEG analyzed, with potential seizures detected via EEG in five out of eight (awaiting verification). We found that there was post-ictal Atrial-Ventricular block in one mouse. We also observed large fluctuations in heart rate during seizure free periods. Further analysis of ECG recordings is ongoing. Overall, our goal is to establish a 50-60% PTE development rate in our model for future applications. Our findings on ECG abnormalities mimic those observed in other models of epilepsy, suggesting that neuro-cardiac interactions in TBI warrant deeper investigation.


Forecasting Lung And Colon Cancer Mortality Trends In Jamaica And The U.S. Using Multivariate Time Series Analysis, Shanice Douglas Apr 2025

Forecasting Lung And Colon Cancer Mortality Trends In Jamaica And The U.S. Using Multivariate Time Series Analysis, Shanice Douglas

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Lung and colon cancers are among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with significant variations across different healthcare systems. This study applies multivariate time series modeling and forecasting to analyze lung and colon cancer mortality trends in Jamaica and the United States, examining each cancer type separately within each country and comparing trends between the two regions. The research employs Vector Autoregressive Moving Average (VARMA) models to assess the interdependence between lung and colon cancer mortality from 1960 to 2014 within Jamaica and the U.S. Multivariate forecasting will be performed separately for both countries to evaluate country-specific trends for …


Access To Rehabilitation Services For Cardiovascular Patients: Rural Vs. Urban Counties, Mercy Falade Apr 2025

Access To Rehabilitation Services For Cardiovascular Patients: Rural Vs. Urban Counties, Mercy Falade

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, with rehabilitation services playing a critical role in secondary prevention and patient recovery. However, disparities in access to these services persist between urban and rural areas. This study examines geographical differences in access to rehabilitation facilities using county-level data from the Area Health Resources File (AHRF). A cross-sectional analysis of 3,142 U.S. counties was conducted to compare facility distribution using two measures: (1) rehabilitation facilities per 100,000 residents and (2) the average number of facilities per county. Facility availability was assessed based solely on the number of rehabilitation …


Adoption Communicative Openness, Hannah Araba Baidoo Apr 2025

Adoption Communicative Openness, Hannah Araba Baidoo

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Adoption communicative openness refers to dialogue about adoption related issues between adoptive parents and their adopted child. It is through this form of communication that adoptive parents provide adoptees with information about their birth family, answer the adoptee’s questions, and explore other adoption related issues, and as a result aids in the psychological well-being of adoptees as they age. While it is important and beneficial for adoptees’ development, existing research has demonstrated the importance of adoption communicative openness (ACO) from the perspective of the parent in the interest of the adopted child without inquiring from the perspective of the adoptive …


The Biafran War (1967-1970) And Its Humanitarian Crisis, David Odey Apr 2025

The Biafran War (1967-1970) And Its Humanitarian Crisis, David Odey

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

A devastating conflict ravaged the eastern region of Nigeria between 1967 and 1970, known as the Biafran War, resulting in catastrophic humanitarian crisis. This conflict, otherwise known as the Nigerian Civil War, was an attempt by the Eastern region to secede from the country and form an independent state called Biafra. An estimated two million civilians of Eastern Nigerian origin perished from the conflict. The survivors contended with severe malnutrition, widespread disease outbreaks, and forced displacement, exacerbating the humanitarian disaster. The war posed a significant challenge to the effectiveness and relevance of the United Nations Security Council in the maintenance …


Using The Reverse Testing Algorithm To Detect A Case Of Ocular Syphilis, Emily Rhoton Apr 2025

Using The Reverse Testing Algorithm To Detect A Case Of Ocular Syphilis, Emily Rhoton

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), incidence rates of syphilis have been steadily increasing in the United States over the last 5 years, despite well-established treatment and prevention precautions. Importantly, ocular syphilis can be the only presenting symptom in up to 40% of patients diagnosed with syphilis. This case report aims to identify symptoms, investigative factors, and ethical considerations involved in ocular syphilis to better recognize and manage future cases. An IRB-approved descriptive study and thorough chart review was conducted to examine the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and medical management course of a male in his mid-50s …
