Thromboelastography-Guided Laparoscopic Splenectomy In A Patient With Immune Thrombocytopenia And Recent Drug-Eluting Stent Placement: A Case Report, Josue Gaona, Janki Patel
School of Medicine Student Publications and Presentations
Background
Perioperative management of patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is particularly challenging when complicated by recent coronary stenting requiring dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), due to competing risks of bleeding and thrombosis.
Case Presentation
We report the case of an 80-year-old male with refractory ITP and recent drug-eluting stent placement who underwent elective laparoscopic splenectomy. Although preoperative optimization with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin increased platelet count from < 20 × 109/L to 177 × 109/L, functional hemostatic adequacy remained uncertain given concurrent ITP and ongoing antiplatelet therapy. Thromboelastography (TEG) was performed using the TEG 6s system with a Global Hemostasis Cartridge. Standard TEG parameters demonstrated preserved clot initiation, formation, and strength across multiple channels, supporting progression to surgery. Laparoscopic splenectomy was completed under general anesthesia without complications or need for transfusion. The patient recovered on the general surgical ward and was discharged on Postoperative Day 3 with a platelet count of 139 × 109/L. Platelet count 2 weeks postoperatively was 343 × 109/L.
Conclusion
This case highlights the utility of TEG as a tool to guide perioperative decision-making in patients with ITP receiving antiplatelet therapy. By providing a functional assessment of coagulation, TEG can help individualize perioperative …

System Integration And Validation Of The Cal Poly Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics Simulator Mk. Iv, Bricen S. Rigby
Master's Theses
The Cal Poly Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics Simulator (SADS) is an ongoing project that seeks to enable the simulation and validation of sensors, actuators, and control logic related to spacecraft attitude control. The SADS platform rests atop a spher- ical air-bearing device which allows for nearly frictionless rotation in all three axes. The orientation of the platform is controlled by four reaction wheels arranged in a pyramidal configuration. Over the past few years, there have been significant updates to the reaction wheel subsystem, as well as requests for a more capable central com- puter. Therefore, a new system architecture for the …

“Heavenly Fire Of The Godhead”: The Activity Of The Holy Spirit In The Macarian Writings, Daniel Wade Edwards
“Heavenly Fire Of The Godhead”: The Activity Of The Holy Spirit In The Macarian Writings, Daniel Wade Edwards
Dissertations (1934 -)
This dissertation addresses a lacuna within patristic scholarship on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Though the fourth century patristic writer known as “Macarius” addresses the theology of the Holy Spirit with unmatched depth and vibrancy, his pneumatological understanding has not yet been addressed adequately. Consequently, through a close literary analysis of the Spirit’s activity in the Macarian writings, this study proposes a threefold framework within which Macarius’ vision of the Spirit can be clearly perceived. In the first, the economic frame, the work of the Spirit within Old Testament Israel and the new covenant Church is compared and contrasted. …

Colonial Futures: Ngaio Marsh, War, And The End Of Empire, Heather M. Robinson
Publications and Research
Between the years of 1941 and 1945, Ngaio Marsh published three New Zealand-focused whodunnits; all three of these stories explore the impacts of the Second World War to some degree. What is curious is not that Marsh wrote about the war, but her sustained focus on New Zealand and New Zealanders, given that Marsh’s fiction usually took place in London or its surrounding counties. It marks the impact on Marsh of the global conflict that was changing the world, and shaking the foundations of colonialism and modernity as they had been known before 1939. In this essay, I explore how …

Applied Environmental Research
บทบาท อำนาจ และหน้าที่ขององค์กร ปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่น ในการพิทักษ์รักษา ทรัพยากรธรรมชาติและสิ่งแวดล้อมของไทย นั้นเป็นไปตามหลักการการกระจายอำนาจ ซึ่งมีกฎหมายรองรับที่สำคัญ 2 ฉบับคือ รัฐธรรมนูญแห่งราชอาณาจักรไทย พุทธศักราช 2540 มาตรา 290 และพระราชบัญญัติกำหนดแผนและขั้นตอนการกระจายอำนาจให้แก่องค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่น พ.ศ. 2542 และหลักการนี้ในประเทศสหรัฐอเมริกาและญี่ปุ่นก็มีความคล้ายคลึงกับของไทย ที่ยอมรับว่า การปกครองระบอบประชาธิปไตยที่สมบูรณ์แบบนั้นจำเป็นต้องมีการกระจายอำนาจจากราชการส่วนกลางสู่ส่วนท้องถิ่น โดยเฉพาะการพิทักษ์รักษาทรัพยากรธรรมชาติ และสิ่งแวดล้อมที่มีความเกี่ยวพันโดยตรง กับองค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่น
จากการวิจัยพบว่า อำนาจหน้าที่ขององค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่นด้านการพิทักษ์รักษาทรัพยากรธรรมชาติและสิ่งแวดล้อมนั้น อยู่ภายใต้กฎหมายเกี่ยวกับสิ่งแวดล้อม 2 กลุ่มคือ กลุ่มกฎหมายที่มีบทบัญญัติกระจายอำนาจให้แก่องค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่นแล้ว กับกลุ่มกฎหมายที่ยังไม่ได้มีการกระจายอำนาจให้แด่องค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่น ซึ่งเป็นปัญหาและอุปสรรคด้านการถ่ายโอนภารกิจด้านนี้แก่องค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่นอยู่ ดังนั้นการวิจัยจึงได้มีข้อเสนอให้ปรับปรุงแก้ไขภายใต้แนวทาง ดังนี้
1. แนวทางการดำเนินการปรับปรุง แก้ไขกฎหมาย โดยกำหนดให้องค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่นมีบทบาทในการจัดการด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมอย่างเข้มแข็งเป็นรูปธรรม เช่น การจัดทำแผนจัดการคุณภาพสิ่งแวดล้อมในเขตพื้นที่ปกครอง การเข้าร่วมพิจารณาให้ความเห็นชอบเกี่ยวกับการริเริ่มโครงการหรือกิจการการมีอำนาจบังคับใช้กฎหมาย เป็นต้น
2. แนวทางการปรับปรุงแก้ไขแผนปฏิบัติการกำหนดขั้นตอนการกระจายอำนาจให้แก่องค์กรปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่น พ.ศ. 2545 โดยการปรับปรุงแก้ไขภารกิจเพียงเท่าที่มีอยู่ และหากจะเพิ่มภารกิจใหม่ ก็ให้สอดคล้องกับอำนาจหน้าที่ด้านการ ส่งเสริมและรักษาคุณภาพสิ่งแวดล้อม
3. แนวทางการเพิ่มพูนความรู้ด้านกฎหมายสิ่งแวดล้อมแก่บุคลากรองค์กร ปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่น โดยการจัดทำหลักสูตรอบรมความรู้ด้านการบังคับใช้กฎหมายสิ่งแวดล้อมแก่ผู้บริหารระดับนโยบาย และผู้ปฏิบัติงานขององค์กร ปกครองส่วนท้องถิ่น
Existence And Uniqueness Of Positive Solutions For Hilfer–Hadamard-Type Fractional Differential Equations With Γ-Concave And Sub-Homogeneous Operators, Hasan Rasouli, Hojjat Afshari, Martin Bohner
Existence And Uniqueness Of Positive Solutions For Hilfer–Hadamard-Type Fractional Differential Equations With Γ-Concave And Sub-Homogeneous Operators, Hasan Rasouli, Hojjat Afshari, Martin Bohner
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this research, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for a class of Hilfer–Hadamard-type fractional differential equations with boundary value problems, including those with integral boundary conditions. The obtained results are conditional on a specific set of strong assumptions, which substantially narrow the class of admissible nonlinearities, coefficients, and boundary data. Thus, the present work extends the Hadamard-type framework to the Hilfer–Hadamard setting only within this restrictive regime, rather than providing a full extension to all Hilfer–Hadamard systems. We utilize the properties of (Formula presented.) -concave and sub-homogeneous operators along with two …

Malaria remains a global health threat exacerbated by emerging resistance to antimalarial therapies and insecticides, climate-driven outbreaks, and limited chemoprotective options. Here, we report the characterization of RUPB-61, the first orally bioavailable inhibitor of Plasmodium falciparum cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PfPKG). RUPB-61 prevents infection by P. falciparum and P. cynomolgi sporozoites, including the formation of hypnozoites by the latter. A single oral dose blocks liver infection by P. berghei sporozoites in vivo, demonstrating efficacy consistent with further development as a once-weekly prophylaxis based on pharmacokinetic modeling. The compound retains activity against field isolates resistant to chloroquine, mefloquine, cycloguanil, sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine, …

Population Health, East Africa
Background
Contemporary guidelines recommend aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), yet significant treatment gaps persist in clinical practice. We evaluated lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) use, LDL-C control, and prevelance of cardiovascular risk factors among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), cerebral atherosclerosis (CAS) and those with all three (polyvascular disease) using real-world data from the NIH-run All of Us Research Program.Methods
We analyzed electronic health records from 26,935 patients with ASCVD (CAD 21,573; PAD 4752; CAS 6864; and polyvascular 902) enrolled between 2018 and 2023. We assessed baseline LLT …2026 July - Tennessee Monthly Climate Report, Tennessee Climate Office, East Tennessee State University

Neural Correlates Of Anger Rumination To A Personal Event And Subsequent Changes In Working Memory, Mairin Claire Madison Cotter
Neural Correlates Of Anger Rumination To A Personal Event And Subsequent Changes In Working Memory, Mairin Claire Madison Cotter
Dissertations
Rumination is a maladaptive coping strategy that is associated with the emergence and maintenance of several psychological disorders and related symptomatology and thus has been proposed as a transdiagnostic risk factor. Recent work has focused on patterns of brain activation during rumination to sadness; however, less is known about brain activation patterns in response to anger-inducing events and how anger rumination may influence working memory. This study sought to identify potential neurophysiological correlates (through electroencephalography; EEG) of anger rumination, examine how anger rumination subsequently impacts working memory performance, and determine whether neurophysiological correlates of anger rumination are associated with working …

Deepfakes As Crisis Triggers: Experimental Evidence On Response Strategy Effectiveness, Responsibility Attributions, And Sharing Intentions, Alicia Mason, Mariah Laman, Tanner Glenn, Treyton Meyers
Faculty Submissions
The term deepfake refers to falsified media content created using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to manipulate audio, video, or images. Deepfake news fabrications are designed to appear highly realistic, making it difficult for audiences to distinguish them from authentic content. Responding to deepfake-induced reputational threats therefore presents a unique challenge for organizations. Despite the growing prevalence of deepfake technology, little experimental research has examined how different crisis communication strategies perform in mitigating the reputational and relational harm posed by deepfake-induced crises. Accordingly, this study seeks to (1) examine how exposure to deepfake news relates to public perceptions and affect toward …

The Impact Of Sports Participation At Differing Levels On Young Women's Self-Esteem, Carly Petrower
The Impact Of Sports Participation At Differing Levels On Young Women's Self-Esteem, Carly Petrower
ETD Collection
Women’s participation in sports has long been associated with health benefits; however, its impact on psychological well-being, particularly self-esteem, among young women remains unclear. In this work, the relationship between sports participation and self-esteem among young women at three levels: youth, high school, and collegiate was examined. A total of 40 participants across all competition levels were included in the study, and both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and an open-ended survey were used. Responses found that self-esteem levels were moderate. Moreover, one-way ANOVA revealed no significant differences in self-esteem across women following regression …
In Search Of A Childhood Psychopathology Factor From The Rorschach: Findings From An Inpatient Population, Sarah Jane Levin
In Search Of A Childhood Psychopathology Factor From The Rorschach: Findings From An Inpatient Population, Sarah Jane Levin
ETD Collection
The general psychopathology factor represents a higher-order dimension of psychopathology that reflects an individual’s overall level of psychological disturbance across diagnostic categories (Caspi et al., 2014; Lahey et al., 2012). Although prior research has largely relied on self-report measures to assess the p-factor, performance-based measures may provide complementary insights into underlying cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal processes. The present study examined whether Rorschach variables could serve as indicators of broad psychopathology in a sample of 5-17-year-old children and adolescents admitted to inpatient psychiatric care over a 20-year period. Archival data was analyzed to determine which Rorschach variables differentiated the clinical sample …
Risk And Protective Factors Associated With Posttraumatic Stress And Chronic Pain, Dominique Noelle Legros
Risk And Protective Factors Associated With Posttraumatic Stress And Chronic Pain, Dominique Noelle Legros
ETD Collection
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can co-occur with chronic pain, and this co-occurrence has been linked to negative outcomes such as increased severity of either condition over time. Although theoretical literature has focused on the factors that contribute to this co-occurrence, limited empirical research has examined factors that predict the presence of posttraumatic stress (PTS) and chronic pain together. Thus, the purpose of this correlational study was to expand our understanding in this area by exploring risk (i.e., avoidance coping and anxiety sensitivity) and protective factors (i.e., social support, self-efficacy, and self-compassion) of both PTS and chronic pain while accounting for …
Staying The Course: A Mixed-Method Exploration Of Social And Emotional Learning Skills For First-Year College Student Retention, Verna Henry
Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios
Across the nation, thousands of first-year college students begin their journey full of hope, yet far too many do not reach their second year. Only 74% of full-time students continue, and fewer than seven in 10 remain at the same college. For many, the struggle is not simply academic. It is emotional, social, and deeply personal. Students who face challenges with time management, stress, and self-regulation are often overwhelmed, uncertain, and at risk of dropping out before achieving their goals. To help ease this transition, many colleges offer first-year experience courses that connect students to tutoring, counseling, and campus resources. …

Population Health, East Africa
Background Active tuberculosis case-finding in communities is crucial for early disease detection and disruption of transmission; however, it is complex and costly. A thorough analysis of tuberculosis screening strategies is essential, particularly because the health systems affected often have limited resources. We aimed to compare two community screening approaches in terms of tuberculosis case yield and cost.
Methods This pragmatic community trial, with a paired screen-positive design (ie, within-person comparison), was conducted in the Butha-Buthe District in Lesotho and the uMgungundlovu District in South Africa.

Social Media Adoption In Urban And Rural Flood Risk Management: Evidence From Nebraska’S 2019 Flood-Affected Regions, Anisha Khandokar
Community and Regional Planning Program: Theses
Flooding is one of the most devastating natural hazards, causing significant economic losses and threatening public safety. While social media has emerged as a powerful tool for disaster communication, its effectiveness in rural flood risk management remains underexplored. This study evaluates the role of social media in disseminating flood-related information and engaging communities during and after 2019 Nebraska floods. This study incorporates SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis method to examine how the seven core communication functions were utilized for flood risk management at the state, regional, and local levels. The findings reveal that while state agencies dominated social …

Background: A major barrier to hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination in the United States is the lack of a point-of-care test to confirm the presence of HCV RNA. The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the performance of the Xpert® HCV test at CLIA-waived sites in the United States. Methods: Participants at risk and/or with signs/symptoms of HCV infection provided fingerstick blood that was tested on the Xpert® HCV test and venous blood tested using the cobas® HCV and Elecsys® Anti-HCV II tests. Fingerstick blood was collected at CLIA-waived sites by individuals self-trained on collection procedures. Results: Participants …

Non-viral nanomedicines, including nanoparticles (NPs) composed of lipids and polymers, represent a transformative approach to drug and gene therapy. However, clinical translation of these technologies is limited by two key barriers: the scale-up of NP formulations and the challenge of conducting predictive preclinical studies in relevant animal models. Efficient upscaling of nanomedicines, from cost and material requirement perspectives, requires manufacturing processes that can reliably provide products across the many orders of magnitude of scale from discovery (kg of product). Additionally, initial preclinical studies are often performed in mouse models for discovery; however, mid- to large-size animal models such as rabbits, …
