Analysis Of The Pathomechanism And Treatment Of Migraines Related To The Role Of The Neuropeptide Cgrp, Marvi S. Qureshi
The Pegasus Review: UCF Undergraduate Research Journal
Migraines are a type of headache that specifically act on only one side of the head, although about 30% of patients with migraines may experience a bilateral headache. Migraines are brain disorders that typically involve issues of sensory processing taking place in the brainstem. Possible causation has been linked to blood vessels, blood flow, and oxygen levels in the brain. Migraines can be described in three phases, all of which have a common neuropeptide known as the calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). CGRP increases in plasma have been linked to migraine headaches, and specific treatment plans have been tailored to …

A Practicality Analysis Pertaining To Minimally Invasive Robot-Assisted Urologic Surgery, Chase Cavayero
The Pegasus Review: UCF Undergraduate Research Journal
Minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery is a technological development that has changed the field of medicine in the past decade. The introduction of the da Vinci® by Intuitive Surgical Inc. has opened up many interesting options in several different fields. Specifically, the field of urology has seen increased utilization of the robotic technique due to the precision allowed by the technology. Although many perioperative and postoperative benefits have been documented within the literature pertaining to robotic surgery, some surgeons contend that the extra cost associated with the procedures is not practical. To this point the extra cost has not been prohibitive, …
Multiple Complications From A Finger Fracture In A Basketball Player, Stephen Hajdas
Multiple Complications From A Finger Fracture In A Basketball Player, Stephen Hajdas
The Pegasus Review: UCF Undergraduate Research Journal
Minor finger and hand problems resulting from NCAA Division-1 Basketball competition are fairly common. True injuries— those requiring removal from participation— are rare, as suggested by injury surveillance and epidemiological data. The objective of this study is to present the case of multiple complications resulting from an original finger dislocation and fracture. Improper fracture healing led to tendon imbalances, causing finger angulation. The extended period of time the finger was deformed further resulted in osteoarthritis (progressive wearing down of the cartilage and bones that comprise a joint). Severe complications stemming from the original injury occur infrequently in the general population …
