Adult Out Of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Criteria For Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Activation May Not Be The Same For Pediatric Out Of Hospital Cardiac Arrest, Lindsay Fick, Sherouk A. Abdelmoity, Jennifer Flint, Ashley Sherman, Jenna Miller

Presentations

Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a high-mortality event, with survival to discharge consistently below 10%. Although extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) improves outcomes for in-hospital cardiac arrest, its application in the pre-hospital environment is not well defined for pediatrics. Identifying which pediatric patients might benefit from OHCA ECPR activation is essential for developing feasible pre hospital pediatric E-CPR systems. Preliminary analysis of applying  criteria for adult OHCA ECPR activation can provide a crucial next step in establishing feasibility and applicability for the pediatric patient population.

Methods

A single center retrospective review was conducted of pediatric OHCA cases presenting from 2018–2025. …

Ecmo Is Often Required In Pediatric Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (Tmp-Smx) Associated Severe Respiratory Failure, Youya Wang, Jenna Miller, Mandy Morgan, Jennifer Goldman

Presentations

Background

Recent publications describe severe disease in pediatric patients with TMP-SMX associated respiratory failure progressing to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), lung transplantation and/or death. ECMO characteristics in this patient population remain poorly defined.

Methods

This is a retrospective observational report from our institutional referral Redcap database reviewing ECMO characteristics for pediatric patients (age ≤ 18 years old) patients. This includes presumed TMPSMX associated severe respiratory failure, following 6 or more days of TMP-SMX exposure and lack of other diagnostic explanation.

Results

To date, at our institution we have identified 32 total adult and pediatric with clinical criteria for TMP-SMX severe …

Stimulated Cytokine Production, Attachment, And Emotional Well-Being In Dementia Spousal Caregivers, Daniel L Argueta, Sarah Roberts, Kelly N Brice, E Lydia Wu-Chung, Vincent D Lai, Jensine Paoletti-Hatcher, Bryan T Denny, Charles Green, Samantha Henry, Luis D Medina, Paul E Schulz, Jennifer Stinson, Cobi Heijnen, Christopher P Fagundes

Background: Proinflammatory cytokine production may be related to poor emotional adjustment in dementia spousal caregivers. People who display attachment insecurity may be at increased risk for adverse caregiving experiences and poor psychosocial outcomes.

Objective: This study aimed to understand whether proinflammatory cytokine production was associated with anticipatory grief, caregiver burden, and depressive symptoms and whether those relationships were stronger for caregivers higher on attachment anxiety or avoidance.

Method: A sample of 103 dementia spousal caregivers provided self-report data on demographics, health information, and psychosocial outcomes. We also determined lipopolysaccharide-induced whole-blood interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-10 production and combined …

Background: Current clinical practice guidelines support the long-term use of pharmacotherapy for obesity treatment. Historically, phentermine has been one of the most prescribed obesity medications (OMs), however, its long-term efficacy and safety have never been evaluated in a randomized trial as its market approval predates such requirements. Here we describe the design, rationale, and baseline characteristics for a 24-month, double-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy, cardiovascular risk, and safety of phentermine in adults with overweight or obesity.

Methods: This multicenter trial will compare outcomes among participants randomized to phentermine 24 mg daily versus placebo for 24 months. All participants …

The Importance Of International Exchange In A Time Of Worldwide Economic And Political Crisis And Change, David Anshen

Literatures and Cultural Studies Faculty Publications

This paper argues that international scholarly and cultural exchange has become especially vital in the context of intensifying global economic, political, ecological, and social crises. Drawing on Marxist theory, contemporary political realities in the United States and South Asia, and examples from world literature, the article examines how global capitalism both deepens human suffering and creates new possibilities for solidarity and resistance. Through reflections on immigration, political violence, ecological collapse, and the marginalization of the humanities, the paper highlights the role of international dialogue- facilitated by digital technologies and cross-cultural engagement- as a necessary counterforce to dehumanization and fragmentation. Literary …

Exploring The Value Of International Research Experience For Leadership Development, Lisa Luken

Leadership Studies

The world has become more complex and interconnected, with challenges that span countries and disciplines. To navigate these challenges, individuals are needed who are equipped with skills and competencies to lead in cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary environments. These leadership skills and competencies can be developed through participation in experiential learning programs. However, the impact of international research-based programs remains unexplored. This is a qualitative, phenomenological study within a bounded case that explored the lived experiences of students who participated in an international graduate student research program from a leadership development perspective. Mezirow’s (1978a) transformative learning theory was utilized as a theoretical framework …

Phase Recognition Of Low-Voltage Distribution Network Based On Locally Linear Embedding And Gaussia N Mixture Model Algorithms, Jiayao Hong, Xiangyang Xia, Yunfei Lei, Zejian Yi, Hanqin Zhu, Xiaozhong Hu

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

In order to solve the problem of inaccurate user phase recognition in low-voltage station areas, a phase recognition method based on local linear embedding (LLE) dimensionality reduction and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering algorithm based on user voltage data is proposed. In this method, the voltage data in the smart meter of the user in the station area is extracted firstly, and the principal component analysis (PCA) method is used to achieve noise reduction and redundancy. Then, the derivative dynamic time warping (DDTW) method is employed to measure the correlation between user voltages. The LLE dimensionality reduction is used to …

Study On Anomaly Data Detection Of Voltage In Transformer District Of Distribution Network Based On Tfec-Inne, Junsheng Zou, Xiu Yang, Gaiping Sun, Fan Yang, Jun Liu, Bingbing Lu

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

A large amount of anomaly data of voltage can be generated during the transformer district operation of distribution network. These anomaly data cannot correctly reflect the operating conditions of the distribution network and can seriously affect the analysis of the voltage characteristics of the transformer district. Therefore, anomaly detection of the voltage operation data in the transformer district is of great significance. Due to the problem of low accuracy of traditional anomaly detection methods, an algorithm, combining trimmed window feature extraction clustering (TFEC) and isolation-based anomaly detection using nearest-neighbor ensembles (INNE), is proposed. The daily features of the initial data …

Method For Anomaly Detection Of Converter Valve Voiceprints Based On Improved Denoising Auto-Encoder, Yisheng Yu, Zhihong Wang, Yunya Zhou, Zhanfan Zhou, Yu Yan, Yu Yu, Mingzhu Tang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The converter valve, as a key equipment in high-voltage direct current transmission converter stations, may experience an abnormal state when operated for a long time. To address the problem that non-intrinsic background noise in the valve hall may cause voiceprint anomalies and unstable anti-noise performance of the converter valve, an anomaly detection method for the converter valve based on voiceprint signal filter banks (Fbank) features and an improved denoising auto-encoder (IDAE) is proposed. Firstly, the voiceprint data generated during the operation of the converter valve is collected; the Fbank features of the voiceprint data are extracted; the samples containing temporal …

Analysis Method Of Impact Of Complex Electromagnetic Signals On Measurement Errors In Single-Phase Electric Energy Meters, Hongtao Shen, Chong Li, Hao Wang, Juchuan Guo, Penghe Zhang, Cong Wang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

In complex electromagnetic environments, the diverse array of electromagnetic interference signals with varying modulation schemes leads to degraded performance in single-phase electric energy meters. With the random and dynamic characteristics of complex electromagnetic signals, a parametric model is established for m-sequence dynamic test signals. Subsequently, a structured measurement model for single-phase electric energy meters and a mathematical model for the impact of electromagnetic signals on single-phase electric energy meter errors are developed. The impact of electromagnetic signals on random interference in electric energy meters is then simulated. Finally, through simulation and experimental tests, the impacts of electromagnetic signals on measurement …
