Risks Vs. Benefits Of Animal-Assisted Interventions For Icu Induced Psychosis, Cecily Christie, Hadley Mayes

Scholars Week

For our senior Nursing Evidence-based practice project, we conducted our own research to evaluate the risks and benefits of animal-assisted intervention (AAI's) being used in intensive care units, in the hopes to encourage nurses and healthcare staff to implement these in patient care facilities.

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.

The Benefits Of Therapeutic Hypothermia Post-Cardiac Arrest, Jarrod Mathis, Anthony Burrows

Scholars Week

During cardiac arrest, the body is susceptible to ischemic injuries to the brain and/or other vital organs. Initiating therapeutic hypothermia post-resuscitation has been shown to provide neuroprotection and improve patient outcomes in different facilities. Education regarding this intervention is important as there is a lot of conflicting research. Therapeutic hypothermia is still being tested in many facilities worldwide.

Photocurable Ionized Vinylimidazole Liquid Salt For Antibacterial Application, Gina Park, Lisa Ahlberg, Robert Zdor

Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship

There has been an increasing demand for antibacterial dental composite as it can prevent the biofilm formation and the adhesion of bacteria after the treatment causing the consequential cavities. Previous study explored the antibacterial activity of the heterogenous mixture of heterocyclic polymer and resin. It showed limitations as the mixture did not show antibacterial activity since the mixture could only contain a small amount of heterocyclic polymer within the resin due to its inconvenience of shaping and low miscibility. To overcome this limitation, this research focused on synthesizing heterocyclic antibacterial monomer liquid salt and curing it with UV light to …

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 …
