Gamification: An Innovative Way To Enhance Health Behaviors For People Living With Hiv/Aids Via Mobile Health Appliacations, Sreypouv Chan
Master's Theses, Dissertations, Graduate Research and Major Papers Overview
Mobile health applications are known as any wireless technology in medical care and have been considered as one of innovative ways to assist and engage patients in care. This project focused on mobile health applications that were designed specifically for HIV medication adherence and to serve People Living with HIV/AIDs (PLWHA) with their HIV care in Rhode Island (RI) Ryan White Part B program, a federal program that provide HIV care to PLWHA (HRSA,2019). RI-Ryan White program partnered with 360 Medlink, Inc. (a software development company) developed and delivered two advanced digital platforms called TAVIE-HIV (an application with no gamification) …

Discrimination has been associated with elevated cortisol as measured in saliva, blood, and urine. This study investigated the association between lifetime discrimination and hair cortisol concentrations, considered a measure of chronic stress. We recruited 180 young adults from diverse backgrounds. Participant responses to lifetime discrimination, home stress, and subjective status measures were recorded. Lifetime discrimination significantly predicted hair cortisol concentrations, supporting past research that discrimination experiences impact neuroendocrine systems. To our knowledge, these are the first findings associating hair cortisol concentrations with discrimination and supports prior evidence positing discrimination as a chronic stressor that serves as a risk factor for …
Effects Of Hypoxia-Ischemia And Anti-Inflammatory Prophylactic Treatment On Cortical And Hippocampal Volumes In The Developing Rat Brain, Llian Mabardi
Honors Projects
Very low body weight as a result of premature birth is a common problem all around the world. Many of these infants have medical issues that arise as a direct result of their very low body weight. One of the biggest issues is a lack of oxygen, which is also known as hypoxia. Hypoxia and ischemia (lack of blood flow) are a problem at any age, but they can be especially devastating to infants who have not undergone critical periods of brain development. Hypoxia-ischemia (or HI) can cause problems that start as inflammation and end with large-scale cell death in …
