The Need For A Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax In Philadelphia – Policy Analysis, J M. O'Dell
The Need For A Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax In Philadelphia – Policy Analysis, J M. O'Dell
Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
The goal of this study was to analyze sugar-sweetened beverage tax policy as one strategy to fight America’s obesity epidemic. Obesity is an enormous problem that plagues individuals worldwide. The prevalence of obesity is high in this country, exceeding 25% in 33 states. In Pennsylvania in 2009, 27.7% of adults were labeled as obese. Additionally, there are many more Philadelphians who are overweight or obese (900,000) than who are at a healthy weight (600,000). Obesity is extremely complex and has several causes. One cause of obesity and the main concern of this study is the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Sugar-sweetened …

Methemoglobinemia Induced By Topical Anesthesia During Fiberoptic Endotracheal Intubation, Matthew C. Miller, Michael T. Gaslin, Kathleen Herb, David Rosen
Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Faculty Papers
Poster presentation at 2005 American Academy Of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Annual Meeting, Los Angeles, CA September 25-28, 2005.
Introduction: Although local anesthetics are usually well tolerated, otolaryngologists need to be aware of the sometimes serious adverse events they can cause. The benzocaine containing sprays Hurricaine and Cetacaine are occasionally associated with the onset of life-threatening methemoglobinemia. The specific treatment for this condition is methylene blue.
Methods and Measures: We describe a case report of a 48 year old female who developed a methemoglobin level of 41% after receiving topical benzocaine to her oropharynx. We discuss the case in …

Poster presentation at 26th Annual Meeting of the Association of Chemoreception Sciences in Sarasota Florida, April 21-25, 2004.
INTRODUCTION
Because there is the possibility of unilateral loss of olfactory function or differential degrees of olfactory dysfunction in the two nostrils, unilateral tests of olfactory threshold sensitivity are routinely included in many chemosensory clinical test batteries to supplement bilateral tests (e.g., Cain et al., 1988; Hummel et al., 1997). Surprisingly, however, the results of unilateral testing in patients with chemosensory complaints have not been extensively reported. Thus, it is unclear how useful these additional measures are in characterizing individual patients.
