The Use Of Repurposed Whole Textiles To Modify The Mechanical And Hydrogeological Properties Of Green Roof Media And Granular Soils, Angelis Almanzar-Chevalie, Yehya Elfgeeh, Calvin O. Walters Jr.

Publications and Research

This study investigates using repurposed whole textiles to modify the mechanical and hydrogeological properties of lightweight Green Roof media and granular pavement soils.

Green Roof Media Green roofs aim to bring the advantages of suburban agriculture to urban environments while improving energy efficiency and enhancing stormwater management in public, commercial, and residential buildings. Previous studies by City Tech undergraduate research assistants demonstrated significant modification in hydrogeological properties when incorporating textile fabric up to 3% textile by weight (%Tex) at an aspect ratio of 1:1. The effects of mixing repurposed whole textile fiber with Green Roof media is evaluated with regards …

Bronx Jewish History Project

Bert Shanas was born at Hunts Point Hospital in 1944. Having grown up in the Hunts Point neighborhood (residing at 930 Fox Street and attending PS 39, JHS 125, and Morris High School), he spent his childhood writing for the school newspaper, going to the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium, and partaking in street games.

Posters

Cutibacterium acnes is a gram-positive anaerobic bacillus which is commonly found in the sebaceous glands of the skin generally in the axilla, chest and back regions 1,2.

Shoulder infections have been reported to occur at 3.4% following arthroscopic or open shoulder surgeries, where they are most commonly due to C. acnes3,4.

This case report demonstrates a unique case and management of a subclinical presentation of confirmed C. acnes infection.

Out Of Room – International Custom 3d Printed Implant For Rheumatologic Glenoid Deficiency: A Case Report, Brian Golasa, Josiah Valk, Jared Lutsic, Justin Rebock, Mohamed Saad

Posters

• The advent of 3-Dimensional (3D) printing has provided orthopaedic surgeons the ability to design custom, patient-specific implants for a variety of different complex problems notably, severe bone loss.

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating, inflammatory, systemic disease affecting approximately 1.3 million adults in the United States (US).1 Orthopaedic manifestations are plentiful. Issues unique to the shoulder are: central glenoid wear, periarticular erosions and osteopenia, and subchondral cysts. Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs can be preventative but do not restore the erosive articular damage already done.

• Glenosphere fixation is critical for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) implant stability and longevity. Diminished bone …

Pseudoaneurysm Development After Short Cephalomedullary Femoral Nailing, Nicholas E. Runge, Daniel P. Mccall

Posters

Hip fractures are amongst the most treated conditions by orthopaedic surgeons1 and are routinely treated with cephalomedullary nails (CMN)s.

Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication after femoral CMN. The primary cause of pseudoaneurysm formation in previous studies has been found to be related to overpenetration of the far cortex with a drill or screw.

Patients with neuromuscular diseases may have aberrant anatomy potentially leading to increased risk of pseudoaneurysm formation

This the first case report of a patient with post-polio syndrome who developed a symptomatic deep femoral artery pseudoaneurysm status post short CMN fixation for a basicervical femoral neck fracture …

Remove The Ring: A Quality Improvement Initiative For Upper Extremity Trauma, Brandon Wallace, Matthew Charlick, Josiah Valk, Aaron Seidman

Posters

Upper extremity trauma is a common injury and post traumatic edema is an expected sequela. Retained rings on the digits prohibit circumferential swelling and may lead to tourniquet syndrome if left in place leading to a devastating and avoidable consequence.

Expeditious ring removal in upper extremity trauma is prudent for patient safety.

Radiographs are typically obtained early in the triage and treatment of patients suffering from upper extremity trauma. This presented itself as as reliable efficient target to have rings removed prior to this treatment step.

An opportunity to make a systemic change to maximize patient safety and care was …

Philanthropy In The Helping Profession: An Overview And Introductory Workshop Intended To Support Counselors And Counselors In Training, Matthew Higgins

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

Many new counseling professionals enter the field with a deep understanding of the therapeutic relationship but lack knowledge of the financial realities that sustain counseling services. Traditional training prioritizes building rapport with clients, leaving a gap in understanding the business side of the helping profession. As the demand for therapy increases, particularly in the United States, it's crucial for counselors to explore innovative solutions to sustain the field in the long term. Integrating education on philanthropic support into counselor training offers a creative approach that would fall in line with the ACA Code of Ethics. While more research needs to …

A Beginner's Guide To Gerontological Counseling: A Summary Of Considerations For Counselors Providing Psychotherapy To Older Adults In Rural Settings, Kelly D. Higgins

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

The elderly population continues to rapidly increase in the United States, leading to a significant need for mental health care among older adults. While older adults experience significant role changes, increased potential for physical and cognitive limitations, and heightened social isolation, all of which contribute to an increased psychiatric need, very few counselors are specially trained to provide adequate geriatric treatment. This is especially true in rural populations, where accessibility limitations are often more significant and mental health professionals are few and far between. This project provides a brief review of the literature regarding these various considerations, challenges, and areas …

An Exploration Of The Potential Impacts Of Philosophical Idealism On Psychotherapeutic Practice, Ian Richard

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

This study presents a review of the modern ontologies available regarding the nature of the universe and identifies Bernardo Kastrup’s formulation of idealism as a leading model. Idealism theorizes that consciousness is the basis of reality, as opposed to physical objects. The implications of Kastrup’s idealism on psychotherapeutic practice are considered, including conflicts with the medical model, synergies with the contextual model, and suggestions for approaches that align with the findings of idealism.

Proposal & Plan For A Dialectical Behavior Therapy Teen Self-Esteem And Body Image Group, Emily Flaherty

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

This document serves as a proposal and plan for a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Teen Self-Esteem and Body Image Group. Negative body image, disordered eating and low self-esteem are some common struggles of adolescence, this is largely attributed to societal standards of thinness and weight stigma (Levinson et al., 2024). Although it is common, it is not often spoken about which leaves teens feeling isolated with their negative thoughts and limiting self-beliefs. This group will serve as intervention to help teens build self-esteem, prevent or intervene with disordered eating habits, and improve their body satisfaction. The document will begin with …

Assessing Multiracial Experiences In Counseling: The Multiracial Life Story Interview, Kylie Mirabella

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

Multiracial individuals face unique challenges, including denial or invalidation of racial identity, sensitized perception of discriminatory experiences, and monoracial cultural biases. These challenges may lead to race-related adverse mental health outcomes, prompting need for culturally responsive clinical mental health counseling. This paper introduces a tool called the Multiracial Life Story Interview, adapted from Dr. Dan P. McAdams’ Life Story Interview, based on findings from current multiracial counseling literature. This interview is aimed to promote multiracial client exploration of racial identity, counselor evaluation of racist incidents and/or discriminatory experiences, and overall multicultural competency.

Counselor Educator Attitudes And Beliefs Toward Psychedelics And Pat, Kimberly Hughes

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

The psychedelic renaissance of the past two decades has introduced a new era of acceptability of and curiosity in historically maligned psychedelic compounds. With increasing positive evidence-based support, psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted therapies (PAT) are being embraced as legitimate psychotherapeutic mechanisms. The uptick in interest, acceptability, and use means that encountering psychedelics in the counseling room is not a question of if but when. As leaders within the field and educators of future generations of clinicians, counselor educators are uniquely poised to influence the field’s relationship with psychedelics. While no current studies have explicitly examined the attitudes and beliefs of counselor …

Losing It: Anti-Fat Bias And Implications For Counselors, Kate Bailey

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

Anti-fat bias and stigma can be pervasive in the United States and can impact almost every aspect of culture in the U.S. Counselors are likely not exempt from holding anti-fat bias. Yet, anti-fat bias is often overlooked as an issue worthy of attention in a profession dedicated to advocacy. Anti-fat bias can negatively affect larger-bodied clients in the counselor/client relationship when counselors are unaware of the anti-fat bias that they hold. Using a framework of liberatory consciousness (awareness, analysis, action, and accountability) counselors may reduce the harm caused in the counselor/client relationship regarding anti-fat bias.

Let’S Get Creative: Using Creative Arts Interventions To Address Trauma Experiences, Ashley Oginz-Wilson

Educational Specialist, 2020-current

Trauma as a theme in counseling work is something that mental health clinicians are commonly exposed to. While there are standard practices and therapeutic modalities to address trauma in counseling, it is important to maintain flexibility as a clinician to best meet the individual needs of the client. This literature review explores ways to embrace creative counseling interventions in support of clients with trauma experiences. Creative counseling interventions could include art, music, dance and movement, nature, humor, drama, and play. The premise of such interventions is that they offer clients a new way to express their feelings, memories, stories, etc. …
