Preventing Pressure Injuries In Critical Care Settings, Chassidy Eddlemon, Cassady Coomes
Scholars Week
2.5 million people develop a hospital-acquired pressure injury each year, and 60,000 of these result in death as an outcome. Nationwide, hospitals have policies in place to prevent HAPIs, but that does not always stop them from occurring. For this project, we looked at one hospitals policy regarding prevention of pressure injuries. In this powerpoint, we outlined the products we found throughout our research to aide in prevention, as well as our recommendations for practice.

Safer Staffing Ratios For High-Quality Patient Care, Elizabeth Boyles, Jacob Mills
Safer Staffing Ratios For High-Quality Patient Care, Elizabeth Boyles, Jacob Mills
Scholars Week
Every hospital has their own staffing policy which varies based on the department. Research suggests that higher nurse-to-patient staffing ratios are directly related to staff burnout and negative patient outcomes. On medical surgical floors, there is an abundance of different diagnoses that require a vast number of nursing skills. Therefore, when nurses have more than four patients, this can be a safety risk for the nurses and patients. By adding these into a stricter policy, rather than keeping it as a simple recommendation, better patient outcomes would increase and nurse burnout would decrease as proven by research.

Determining The Ideal Concentrations Of Ethanol And Propylene Glycol In Ethosomes For Transdermal Delivery Of Vitamin D3, Rebecca Conner
Harrisburg University Research Symposium: Highlighting Research, Innovation, & Creativity
Vitamin D3 is an important chemical in the human body, however, many Americans have low levels of this vitamin. There are plenty of oral supplementations for Vitamin D3 deficiency, but those of older age and busy schedules may struggle to meet the minimum requirement. A recently developed ethosomal transmembrane delivery system (Touitou, 2000), similar to liposomes but also containing ethanol, allows users to apply a gel dermally and have the desired drug or active ingredient reach the bloodstream faster. However, there is considerable variation in the concentration of ethanol and permeation enhancers used. Using an affordable method to …

Development And Validation Of A Simple Clinical Construct For Prediction Of New Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Xavier Rios, Blanca I. Restrepo, Juan Carlos Lopez-Alvarenga
Research Symposium
Background: Early diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) can delay its vascular complications, but the active search for T2D results in inefficient use of resources. Simple methods like anthropometry or clinical history could help prioritize laboratory testing in individuals with risk of T2D. We evaluated non-invasive clinical measurements to pre-screen for new T2D patients.
Methods: We used the 2017-2018 NHANES database as the discovery cohort, and identified age, sex, BMI, waist circumference, and family history of T2D (FHD) as predictor variables. Risk of new T2D was analyzed using odds ratios with logistic regression. The diagnostic accuracy was calculated using ROC …

Lab- confirmed cases were interviewed using the Cyclosporiasis National Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire. Environmental health …
Eucalyptus Essential Oil: A Safety Assessment And Causality Evaluation Of Published Case Reports, Cecile Bascoul
Eucalyptus Essential Oil: A Safety Assessment And Causality Evaluation Of Published Case Reports, Cecile Bascoul
Oxford ICSB
Eucalyptus essential oil (EO) and preparations containing eucalyptus EO have been used in traditional medicine for centuries for the treatment of respiratory illnesses such as cold, influenza and sinus congestion. Research, including clinical trials, has been carried out to evaluate the efficacy of eucalyptus alleviating symptoms of such conditions. However, eucalyptus EO and preparations with eucalyptus EO have also been associated with rare cases of CNS depression and seizures. The case reports reviewed showed evidence of CNS depression and/or seizure in patients from all ages (<1 to 74 year-old) with different doses of eucalyptus EO (0.18 mL to 1000 mL). Most of the adverse events were in children; some of them reacting to small doses (4 drops of EO or about 0.24 mL), ingested, inhaled or after topical application. Most children who developed seizures did not have a history of seizures before the event. The main constituent of eucalyptus EO is 1,8-cineole (about 65% to 84% 1,8 cineole for eucalyptus globulus EO, one of the most commonly used eucalyptus species in commercially available …1>

The Effects Of Light Intensity On Cell Population And Oxygen Production Of Arthrospira Platensis, Sophia Ward, Cole Turner
Scholars Day Conference
As space exploration becomes more advanced, scientists look to find new ways to create nourishment and oxygen to maintain long-term space travel. Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as Spirulina, could be a possible solution to these problems. This cyanobacterium converts carbon dioxide into pure oxygen and the cell structure (coiled or straight) appears to trigger different oxygen and cultivation responses. Mixed (coiled and straight, Fig. 4) and coiled (Fig. 5) Spirulina cultures were transferred into 2.5 L containers and placed in white light boxes with varying intensities of light: 15 µmol/㎡/s, 7 µmol/㎡/s, and 3 µmol/㎡/s. Each experiment lasted 72 hours …

University Students' Understanding Of The Endocannabinoid System And Its Relevance To Nutrition, Brittney Burford, Allyson Melton, Robbie Otero
Scholars Day Conference
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system that was identified in 1988, the ECS is the largest receptor system and regulator of homeostasis. Endogenous cannabinoids, or endocannabinoids, are naturally occurring, lipid-based neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the body that send signals between nerve cells. The ECS system regulates and controls many of our most critical bodily functions such as learning, memory, emotional processing, sleep, temperature control, inflammatory immune responses, and appetite. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the most known phytocannabinoids. Phytocannabinoids are plant byproducts that closely mimic cannabinoids and have adverse effects on the body. Endogenous …

Scholars Day Conference
Patients with cancer report chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remain the most debilitating side effect of chemotherapy. The incidence of CINV is prone to metabolic disorders, malnutrition, and weight loss, which will lead to an obvious negative effect on patients’ emotion, social, physical function and overall quality of life. The objective of this literature review was to find evidence to support a nonpharmacological and noninvasive intervention that can provide relief for CINV.
The Impact Of Covid-19 On The Supply Chain And Quality Of Botanical Ingredients, Stefan Gafner
The Impact Of Covid-19 On The Supply Chain And Quality Of Botanical Ingredients, Stefan Gafner
Oxford ICSB
Examples from the past show that a supply chain disruption, or a series of such disruptions, generates sudden spikes in consumer demand, and that abrupt, unplanned changes to the supply and demand in botanical materials lead to an increase in adulteration and fraud. When this happens due to simultaneous interruptions of numerous ingredients based on a global pandemic, as in the case of COVID-19, it is predictable that unscrupulous suppliers and sellers of botanical ingredients will attempt to take advantage of supply shortages by manufacturers of herbal medicines and dietary supplements to sell them lower-quality or sometimes adulterated materials.

Prediction Of Clinically Relevant Botanical-Drug Clearance Interactions For Boswellia Serrata Extract Using Sandwich-Cultured Human Hepatocytes., Amy Roe
Oxford ICSB
Boswellia serrata extract (BSE) is used in dietary supplements for its anti-inflammatory properties. There are reports in the scientific literature that BSE has the potential to inhibit CYP450 enzymes. We have shown that sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes (SCHH) are an excellent model for predicting clinically relevant botanical-drug interactions (BDI) since they integrate metabolism and transport. When using SCHH the BDI potential with BSE appears low; however, our previous work did not include an assessment of CYP450 induction potential. We present an intrinsic clearance approach using SCHH to evaluate an overall net effect (inhibition and induction) of BDI potential with BSE. SCHH …

The Effects Of Artificial Insemination On Beef Cattle In The United States, Allee R. Sweeten, Abigail Shelnut, Madison Dickey
ATU Research Symposium
Artificial insemination (AI) is a reproductive procedure widely used in cattle industries and other livestock to increase pregnancy rates. Breeders must wait until the animals are in the estrus part of their estrous cycle to AI. Estrus synchronization is utilized to manipulate the estrous cycle to go into estrus or standing heat. AI is conducted by loading a semen straw into an inseminating gun, inserting the gun into the vagina of the heifer, and making sure it gets past the cervix by palpating with the other hand. Once past the cervix, the semen can be distributed in the heifer. AI …
