Game-Based Refresher Training For Registered Nurse Providers Of Neonatal Resuscitation, Renee Billner-Garcia May 2022

Game-Based Refresher Training For Registered Nurse Providers Of Neonatal Resuscitation, Renee Billner-Garcia

Doctoral Projects

Based on evidence suggesting resuscitation provider knowledge and skill decay can occur as soon as four weeks post-training, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends more frequent resuscitation refresher training. While current resuscitation training and education practices center on simulation training, its cost in terms of supplies, equipment, and personnel may be creating barriers to increasing the frequency of refresher training. This quality improvement project implemented a game-based, refresher training for registered nurse providers of neonatal resuscitation with a focus on improving the time to initiation of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) per Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines. Using commonly available free …

“Willfully Defiant: Understanding The Role Of Authority And Racialized Punitive Burdens”, Riley Mccoy May 2022

“Willfully Defiant: Understanding The Role Of Authority And Racialized Punitive Burdens”, Riley Mccoy

Honors Thesis

“Willful defiance” describes a type of student behavior that intentionally disrupts classroom order against a teacher’s direct commands. In 2013 the Los Angeles Unified Board of Education reduced the use of willful defiance suspensions as it was the disciplinary category with the largest racial disparities. Despite initial positive outcomes following the policy change, LA Unified still maintains a racial disparity in its expulsion rates and use of willful defiance. In this thesis, I investigate the remaining racialized outcomes through a structural analysis of behavioral discipline policies. Willful defiance policies represent a direct interaction between the structure of the classroom, student …

Racial Justice Allyship In White Non-Adopted Individuals With Adopted Siblings Of Color, Lydia Zicker, Adam W. Fingerhut May 2022

Racial Justice Allyship In White Non-Adopted Individuals With Adopted Siblings Of Color, Lydia Zicker, Adam W. Fingerhut

Honors Thesis

The ongoing prevalence of racial injustice in the United States demonstrates the growing importance of White allies and co-conspirators supporting people of Color to combat the social systems which consistently favor White individuals and disadvantage people of Color. While recent psychological research on allyship has touched on issues of racial injustice, a gap in research on transracial adoption and its impact on allyship presents an opportunity for further knowledge and progress to be made. Bridging research on transracial adoption, outgroup ally development, and factors that affect racial attitudes, the research presented in this study examines predictors of racial justice allyship …

Effect Of Systemic Diseases On Periodontal Microbiome. A Literature Review. Part Iii, Adam Saleh, Gabriel Menassa, Carole Chakar May 2022

Effect Of Systemic Diseases On Periodontal Microbiome. A Literature Review. Part Iii, Adam Saleh, Gabriel Menassa, Carole Chakar

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Periodontitis is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease and is mainly caused by a dysbiosis of the periodontal microbiome. Many systemic diseases have been linked to periodontal disease, and the alteration of the microbiome plays a major role in the pathogenesis. Diabetes has been highly associated with the increased risk of periodontal disease, as it provides a hyperglycemic microenvironment that heavily influences the periodontal microbiome by reducing its diversity and favoring disease associated bacteria. Rheumatoid arthritis has also been associated with periodontitis, with many studies indicating microbial shifts in affected individuals without reaching a consensus on the precise nature of …

INTRODUCTION
Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer by incidence among women in the United States with high mortality. Compared to other specific types, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered to be an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. Hence, it is important to study the risk factors associated with it. Smoking has been implicated in many cancers, including breast cancer. However, there is no evidence in literature that has shown a relationship between smoking and a specific type of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between smoking and TNBC so that we may …

INTRODUCTION
Ultrasound (US) is the first line imaging used for suspected pediatric appendicitis. However, following equivocal US findings and its lower negative predictive value for ruling out appendicitis, Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is often performed in children. This study investigates the differences in imaging utilization between a community hospital (Beaumont Troy) and a children’s ED hospital (Beaumont Royal Oak), making it the first study to evaluate suspected pediatric appendicitis in Beaumont Health System. It also aims to further characterize differences in patient outcomes such as surgery, length of hospital stay, complications of appendicitis, and highlight the need to reduce unnecessary …

Cardiac Arrest Patient Length Of Stay And Survival In Michigan Hospitals, Jaemin Song, David A. Berger, James H. Paxton, Joseph B. Miller, Joshua Reynolds, Nai-Wei Chen, Robert Swor

Posters

INTRODUCTION
Current guidelines recommend deferring prognostic decisions for at least 72 hours following admission after Out of Hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Most non-survivors experience withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST), and early WLST may adversely impact survival. We sought to characterize the hospital length of stay (LOS) and timing of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders (as surrogates for WLST) to assess their relationship to survival following cardiac arrest.

A Multimodal Approach To Reducing Opioid Administration In The Emergency Department, Eddie Ford, Vito Rocco, Shanna Jones, Patrick Karabon

Posters

INTRODUCTION
The United States is battling a deadly epidemic against opioid abuse and misuse, which began as a result of pharmaceutical companies purposely downplaying the addictive potential of their opioid medications. In 2016, a Colorado health care system developed a groundbreaking alternative to opioids (ALTO) protocol for acute pain relief in the Emergency Department (ED). This protocol was adapted and implemented in the Beaumont Troy ED and is the focus of this current study. The primary goal of this study is to characterize the impact of the ALTO protocol on the rate of opioid and non-opioid administration in the ED …

Design Of An Implanted Vascular Access Device With A Mechanical Septum, Mallory Ann Moffett, Katherine Rose O'Quinn

Honors Theses

As populations continue to age, their need for medical care continues to rise. This is seen by the large need for implanted vascular devices (IVADs). IVADs are essential for individuals with poor venous access and patients requiring long-term venous delivered drugs. This document will explore the existing IVADs, where they fall short, and where our device, the IrisPort system, works to solve the unmet needs of patients. The IrisPort system is a needle-less port system that allows for repeated venous access without the use of a non-coring needle. Prior art searches have shown that the IrisPort is a novel solution …

Who Is On The Bandwagon? Core And Periphery In Mixed Methods Research, David L. Morgan May 2022

Who Is On The Bandwagon? Core And Periphery In Mixed Methods Research, David L. Morgan

Sociology Faculty Publications and Presentations

The rapid growth of mixed methods research over the past two decades matches what Fujimura (1989) called a “bandwagon effect.” This study compares articles from the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, representing the core of the field, to a more peripheral set of randomly drawn articles. A content analysis of the two sets of articles shows strong differences, with the random sample dominated by convergent designs and lower integration between the qualitative and quantitative results. This research contributes to the field of mixed methods by showing systematic differences between articles published in its flagship journal versus a broad sample of …
