Effect Of Intranasal Insulin For Anosmia And Hyposmia In Parkinson’S Patients, Eden Anonye

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Olfaction impairment is one of the earliest nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Olfaction disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease can range from hyposmia, a reduction in smell ability, to anosmia, a complete loss of smell. Regardless of severity, olfaction loss can result in decreased well-being and mood disorders. However, there is no approved management for anosmia or hyposmia secondary to Parkinson’s disease. Insulin is hypothesized to modulate olfactory neuron regeneration in patients with post-infectious hyposmia, but its effects have not been studied in Parkinson’s patients. Using a randomized controlled trial design, we seek to determine whether eight weeks of daily …

Brief Interventions In Adult Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass Patients With At-Risk Alcohol Use, Ruth Seok

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Bariatric surgeries are the most effective treatment for severe obesity. However, despite the benefits, patients who undergo bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, are at a higher risk of developing alcohol use disorders compared to the general population. There is currently limited research that evaluates interventions to decrease unhealthy alcohol use in at-risk bariatric patients. This study aims to investigate whether an intervention strategy known as Brief Intervention can reduce alcohol consumption in Roux-en-Y patients who screen positive for at-risk alcohol use. We will randomize adult post-operative patients who screen positive to either receive brief interventions or usual care. Alcohol …

Physician Assistants And Emergency Department Metrics In Australia, Benjamin Zeid

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Australian Emergency Departments (EDs) suffer from growing demand leading to increased wait times and length of stay for patients which are correlated with worse outcomes. Physician Assistants/Associates (PAs) have improved patient wait times and length of stay (LOS) in EDs of several countries. The PA role is relatively new to Australia and the effect of PA integration on wait time and LOS for ED patient encounters is unknown. In this study, we will conduct a single center retrospective secondary analysis of health records and hospital data between January and July 2019 of patients treated at the Townsville University Hospital ED …

Platelet Rich Plasma For Women With Recurrent Implantation Failure Undergoing Frozen Embryo Transfer, Gabriela Ortiz

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

In vitro fertilization with embryo transfer is often considered a solution for infertile women. The proportion of infertile women who fail to become pregnant after an embryo transfer remains high despite advances in assisted reproductive technologies. Use of autologous platelet-rich plasma may have a beneficial effect on implantation. Our objective is to determine if autologous platelet-rich plasma prior to embryo transfer is effective in improving pregnancy rates among women with recurrent implantation failure. We will design a randomized controlled trial such that women will receive an intrauterine infusion of either autologous platelet-rich plasma or saline 48 hours prior to transferring …

When Identities Collide: Organizational And Professional Identity Conflict And Employee Outcomes, Kathryn Ostermeier, Peter Anzolitto, Danielle Cooper, Julie Hancock

Management Department Faculty Journal Articles

Purpose

While many workers have both professional and organizational identities, which can have conflicting expectations, little is known about this specific and common form of identity conflict. The purpose of this research is to develop and test a measure of organizational and professional identity conflict (OPIC), which the authors define as a psychological conflict that individuals experience between who they feel they are supposed to be in their organization and who they feel they are supposed to be in their profession. The authors theorize that this identity conflict will lead to emotional exhaustion and psychological distress, further leading to turnover …

Teaching Inclusive Citation Through A Library Workshop, Andrea Baer

Libraries Scholarship

In response to calls for greater equity and inclusion in scholarly publishing and in academia in general, many academic instruction librarians are looking to ways to promote inclusive citation practices. Inclusive citation essentially involves citing sources that reflect a greater diversity of voices and perspectives, while being aware of how power and social structures have traditionally influenced what voices are amplified and which are often overlooked. Inclusive citation requires thinking creatively about how and where we search for information, since traditional scholarly practices and common structures and features of many search tools (e.g., citation metrics, relevance rankings) are part of …

Historical Trends Of Aquatic Invasive Species Introduction And Establishment In Illinois, Usa, Carter S. Cranberg, Reuben Keller

School of Environmental Sustainability: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Tracking the introduction and establishment of aquatic invasive species (AIS) is important for monitoring the biological and economic health of freshwater environments. The state of Illinois (USA) is a critical region for understanding the threats of AIS because it possesses the only continuous aquatic habitat connecting the Laurentian Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins. In this study, we update a previous effort to catalogue and evaluate historical AIS records from Illinois. Our updated database shows that there are now at least 92 nonindigenous aquatic species established in Illinois and a further 51 have been recorded as introduced but not established. …

Educating Nurses On Workflow Changes From Electronic Heath Record Adoption, Rhoda Lynn San Jose

Dissertations

Workflow issues related to adoption of the electronic health record (EHR) has led to unsafe workarounds, decreased productivity, inefficient clinical documentation and slow rates of EHR adoption. The problem addressed in this quality improvement project was nurses' lack of knowledge about workflow changes due to EHR adoption. The purpose of this project was to identify changes in workflow and to develop an educational module to communicate the changes. This project was guided by both the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) and the diffusion of innovations theory.

Grief And Personal Growth Experiences Of Bereaved Spouses And Adult Child Caregivers Of Individuals With Dementia, Melissa M. Romero

Dissertations

Caregivers of individual's with dementia are usually older spouses or middle aged children who provide long-term care in the home. Researchers have examined variables associated with poor adjustment in bereaved caregivers which include high levels of pre-death depression, high levels of caregiver burden, feeling unprepared for the death, and providing care for a cognitively impaired person. However, relatively little is known about variables that might predict positive adjustment in caregivers after the death of a family member with dementia. The meaning reconstruction theory of bereavement was used as the conceptual framework for this study which explored the relationship between pre-death …

Local Tumor Destruction And Liver Resection Increase Overall Survival In Intermediate/Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients: Evidence From A Population-Based Study, Yang Zhang, Yi Zhang, Taiyu He, Guangliang Liu, Minjie Duan, Jian Huang, Christy Huang, Scott Lowe, Dazhi Ke, Xiaozhu Liu, Junyi Cao

Student Publications

Background: Liver resection (LR) and local tumor destruction (LTD) are effective treatments, but not commonly recommended for patients with intermediate/advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to explore whether LR/LTD could improve overall survival (OS) of these patients, and to identify the patients who will most likely benefit from LR/LTD.

Methods: Data of patients with intermediate/advanced HCC between 2001 and 2018 were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. OS was compared between HCC patients who received LR/LTD and those who did not. A nomogram was constructed for predicting OS, and it was then validated.

Results: A total of …

2023-July-28-Celebrating A Hall Of Fame Career, University Marketing And Communication, East Tennessee State University

ETSU News

(July 28, 2023) Richard F. “Dick” Ellis wasn’t much of a suit-and-tie man. He played semi-pro and coached youth baseball and was a good golfer. He wrote speeches for a Republican congressional candidate in 1960. He loved to fish and camp and could often be heard from his back porch picking bluegrass tunes on his guitar with friends. But besides his wife and children, the love of Ellis’s life was radio.

And on Saturday, July 29, this local legend in the broadcasting industry, who brought National Public Radio to the region at East Tennessee State University’s WETS-FM, will posthumously …

Spherical Bouguer Effect Of Topography On Gravity With Constant And Laterally Varying Density, Mehmet Si̇mav

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Gravitational attraction of the Earth's visible topography above the mean sea level is generally regarded as an unwanted signal in various geoscience applications. It should be removed from the observations to reveal the remaining signals of subsurface anomalous density distribution or to satisfy the boundary condition in solving the geodetic boundary value problems. However, the task of determining the gravimetric terrain effects involves tedious numerical computations when high-resolution elevation data is used. While the traditional computational approach relies on flat-Earth approximation and neglects the topographic masses beyond some fixed integration radius, e.g., planar complete Bouguer correction, the modern methods apply …

The Role Of Techno-Eustress In Technology-Enhanced It Learning, Yu (Audrey) Zhao, Yaojie Li, Kakoli Bandyopadhyay

Management and Marketing Faculty Publications

This research explores the bright side of technostress, contrasting prior studies focusing on its adverse effects. Drawing on the transactional model of stress and coping and the holistic stress model, we investigate how personal and organizational coping resources influence techno-eustress and learning performance in information technology training. Our research model is validated with a sample of 644 graduate students who completed technology-enhanced learning courses in an information systems program. Despite the positive association between personal and organizational coping resources, we find both resources are positively linked to techno-eustress and subsequent learning performance. These findings challenge existing assumptions and offer new …
