Introduction:
Most congenital heart disease [CHD] is diagnosed and treated in early childhood with parents responsible for decision-making. The adolescent assumes this role in preparation for transition to an adult congenital heart program. We studied the knowledge base of our adolescent CHD patients and their parents.
Methods:
Established CHD patients, >11 y.o. and their parents, were independently surveyed in the outpatient clinic. Participation was voluntary. Cardiomyopathy, electrophysiology and transplant patients were excluded. Scores were assessed as full, partial or incomplete.
Results:
Most (98% parents; 83% adolescents) reported that their cardiologist had provided education. Adolescents provided a full (49%) and partial …

Slavery, Agriculture, And Malaria In The Arabian Peninsula, Benjamin Reilly
Slavery, Agriculture, And Malaria In The Arabian Peninsula, Benjamin Reilly
Ohio University Press Open Access Books
In Slavery, Agriculture, and Malaria in the Arabian Peninsula, Benjamin Reilly illuminates a previously unstudied phenomenon: the large-scale employment of people of African ancestry as slaves in agricultural oases within the Arabian Peninsula. The key to understanding this unusual system, Reilly argues, is the prevalence of malaria within Arabian Peninsula oases and drainage basins, which rendered agricultural lands in Arabia extremely unhealthy for people without genetic or acquired resistance to malarial fevers. In this way, Arabian slave agriculture had unexpected similarities to slavery as practiced in the Caribbean and Brazil.
This book synthesizes for the first time a body of …
Prostate Cancer And Afro-Caribbean Men: Experiences, Perceptions, And Beliefs, Harold E. Taitt Jr.
Prostate Cancer And Afro-Caribbean Men: Experiences, Perceptions, And Beliefs, Harold E. Taitt Jr.
2010-2016 Archived Posters
The incidence of prostate cancer is high among men of African descent. Research questions in this phenomenological study considered the perceptions and beliefs of Afro-Caribbean men. Participants conveyed low disease awareness, but believed that early diagnosis increased survival chances. Findings revealed strategies to help reduce mortality from the disease.
Predictors Of Non-Adherence To Medical Follow-Up Care Among African Americans With Hiv/Aids, Phyllis D. Morgan, Cynthia B. Banks, Joshua Fogel
Predictors Of Non-Adherence To Medical Follow-Up Care Among African Americans With Hiv/Aids, Phyllis D. Morgan, Cynthia B. Banks, Joshua Fogel
2010-2016 Archived Posters
Persons living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) who do not adhere to their medical follow- up appointments tend to have poorer health outcomes compared to HIV/AIDS patients who adhere to their medical follow-up appointments (Lima et al., 2009). This study examined factors that influence non-adherence of African-Americans with HIV/AIDS to medical follow-up appointments.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: A Potential Therapeutic Option For Painful Peripheral Neuropathies, Jessica Curcio
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
• Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a major public health concern.
• There are many etiologies for PN including injury, infection, toxicity, genetics, metabolic disease and nutritional deficiencies.
• Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), also known as thioctic acid, is a potent antioxidant and cofactor in many cellular metabolic processes.
• Oxidative damage plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of both diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
• Because of the antioxidant capability ALA has been studied for its potential benefit in preventing and treating PN

---Neurotransmitters and their response to acupuncture
• Acupuncture therapy for improvement of chronic musculoskeletal pain
Lyme Disease Awareness In Downeast Maine, Justin L. Genziano
Lyme Disease Awareness In Downeast Maine, Justin L. Genziano
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted by the deer tick (Ixodes scapularis). Lyme disease is endemic in the state of Maine with 1,399 probable and confirmed cases reported in 2014. The rate in coastal Hancock County has doubled since 2012, and has the third highest rate of infection in the state.
Medical providers in Hancock County have observed an increase in anxiety and concern about Lyme disease in the community, and have found that much of this is driven by hearsay or unreliable information from the internet. The goal of this project …

Historically, these cardiac interventions have been performed using partial or complete open sternotomy.
1. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
2. Atrial septal defect (ASD) repair,
3. Mitral valve repair and/or replacement
In 2000, the Federal Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. Less invasive surgical option.
The Efficacy Of Electrocardiograms As A Screening Tool To Detect Cardiac Abnormalities In Young Athletes, Cody William
The Efficacy Of Electrocardiograms As A Screening Tool To Detect Cardiac Abnormalities In Young Athletes, Cody William
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
• Sudden cardiac death (SCD) among athletes can be attributed to increased cardiovascular demands associated with vigorous exercise.
• The majority of athletes who experience sudden cardiac death are asymptomatic.
• Pre-participation history and physicals, (H&P) help to identify underlying cardiovascular disorders with the potential to increase the risk of SCD in an athlete.
• The efficacy of pre-participation H&Ps to identify underlying cardiac etiology has been debated.
• The purpose of this research is to:
---Determine incidence and cause of SCD among athletes (Table 1).
---Determine the efficacy and evidenced-based criteria for the interpretation of ECGs in athletes.
---Evaluate …

Carotid Endarterectomy Versus Carotid Stenting In The Treatment Of Carotid Artery Stenosis, Parker B. Martin
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
• Carotid artery stenosis secondary to atherosclerotic plaque is a leading cause of CVA in the United States
• Stenosis of the common carotid artery greater than 70% typically needs intervention
• The purpose of this study is to determine which procedure will have the best long term outcomes and prevent re-stenosis of the carotid artery.
