Description of project
Occupational therapy students from Jefferson School of Health Professions in Philadelphia planned and implemented interactive exhibits within the virtual world of Second Life®. The educational exhibits were provided through an ongoing project designed to promote occupational therapy, provide immersive experiences on health and wellness for persons in Second Life® and promote collaboration between project personnel and others with an interest in health and wellness. Exhibits focused on home and playground adaptations, mental health and productive aging and were based on current research evidence and best practices. Students also participated in events in which they promoted occupational therapy …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe current breastfeeding policies and practices among Philadelphia, PA metropolitan hospitals and changes in their policies and practices over time.
METHODS: In-person group interviews were conducted to obtain a composite picture of actual breastfeeding policies and practices. One questionnaire per hospital was completed based on responses from group consensus. Twenty-five hospitals providing maternity care were contacted. Information was obtained from personnel representing different areas of maternity services. Hospitals were classified according to the degree to which they were implementing the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding.
RESULTS: Mean breastfeeding rates at suburban hospitals …

At Pathways to Housing-Philadelphia, mental health services to support consumers' independent living are delivered through Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams. ACT is an evidence-based mental health intervention known to reduce psychiatric hospitalization and increase housing stability. ACT team members include social workers, substance abuse, counselors, nurses, and psychiatrists, with ideal staff to client ratios of 1 to 10. Through a novel collaboration between the program and the Deparment of Family and Community Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University, a primary-care physician was embedded into the ACT services to form an integrated health-care team.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrates ALDH1 is significantly expressed in dysplatic lesions arising from IBD. ALDH1-expression in cancer stem cells suggest an important causative role in the progression to cancer in IBD. Although we found high sensitivity for dysplasia, the specificity was poor. In addition to neoplasia, ALDH1-expressing stem cells proliferate in response to chronic inflammation, accounting for the cases of inflammatory atypia with positive ALDHI1 expression.

Abstract:
Research on rounding among hospital providers demonstrated the fundamental value in the practice. If rounding is of value in surgical, medical, and other areas, it is logical to hypothesize that structured rounds would be useful for other nursing units, such those performing special procedures. Structured rounding between GI nurses and colleagues on inpatient units could enhance preparation and efficient care of patients, decrease same day cancellations, and increase RN satisfaction with communication. Analysis using a Z-test demonstrated some support for a reduction in canceled procedures. Nurses also reported satisfaction with this new rounding procedure.

The relationship between obesity and cancer screening varies by screening test, race, and gender. Most studies on cervical cancer screening found a negative association between increasing weight and screening, and this negative association was most consistent in white women. Recent literature on mammography reports no association with weight. However, some studies show a negative association in white, but not black, women. In contrast, obese/overweight men reported higher rates of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Comparison of prostate cancer screening, mammography, and Pap smears implies a gender difference in the relationship between screening behavior and weight. In colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, the …
