Diabetic Nephropathy Masquerading As Systemic Disease: The Critical Role Of Renal Biopsy In A Young Uninsured Woman With Nephrotic Syndrome, Yolanda V. Gutierrez, Alexis Vargas Del Toro, Cristina Kochi Yamamoto, Jose Loayza Pintado, Andres Suarez-Parraga

School of Medicine Publications

Nephrotic syndrome can have overlapping features across multiple diseases, making diagnosis difficult without tissue confirmation. We describe a 30-year-old uninsured Hispanic woman with type 1 diabetes, hypertension, and CKD3B who presented with nephrotic syndrome, sepsis, and progressive muscle weakness. Her pleural effusions, periorbital changes, elevated free light chains, and dysphagia raised concern for systemic conditions such as amyloidosis or polymyositis, especially given inconsistent outpatient follow-up. Because her management would differ significantly depending on the underlying cause and due to the high risk of loss to follow-up, a renal biopsy was pursued. Serologic studies were unremarkable, and biopsy ultimately confirmed diabetic …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent degenerative neurological disorder with limited treatment options. Prior studies reported specific metabolites and inflammatory proteins to be related to AD risk. However, the intricate relationship between inflammatory proteins, blood metabolites, and AD risk in European population remains unclear. Genetic instruments for 1,091 metabolites and 736 inflammatory proteins were derived from two recent comprehensive genome-wide association studies. Univariable Mendelian Randomization was employed to assess potential causal effects of metabolites on AD risk, potential effects of inflammatory proteins on metabolites, and effects of inflammatory proteins on AD risk. Multivariable MR (MVMR) was further applied to disentangle …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Final Project Abstract

Reducing Intraoperative Hypothermia in Adults 18-60 Undergoing Primary Elective Unilateral Total Knee Replacement with General Anesthesia

Background

Intraoperative hypothermia (core temperature < 36°C) is associated with increased surgical site infections, blood loss, prolonged recovery, and longer hospital stays. Because forced-air warming devices are restricted during total joint arthroplasty at the project site due to infection concerns, patients relied on passive warming, resulting in a baseline hypothermia rate of 63.3%

Purpose

The purpose of this quality improvement project was to reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia among adults aged 18-60 undergoing primary elective unilateral total knee arthroplasty with general anesthesia by implementing a conductive warming device in the operating room of a large level 1 trauma hospital

Methodology

This evidence-based quality improvement project implemented a conductive warming blanket following staff education. Data was collected through the electronic health record. Primary outcomes included hypothermia incidence and average intraoperative temperature. Secondary …

I Lost My Number, Can I Have Yours? Body Image Satisfaction With Sexually Dimorphic Traits Is Associated With Men's Dating Anxiety And Confidence, David A. Frederick, Tania A. Reynolds, Nikoline L. Smart, Justin R. Garcia, David A. Puts

Psychology Faculty Articles and Research

Evolutionary scientists posit that sexual selection processes caused males to develop sexually dimorphic traits to aid them during intrasexual competition and increase their likelihood of being chosen as mates. Evolutionary social sciences have extensively examined women's preferences for traits such as muscle mass and voice pitch, reasoning that these traits serve as cues of men's ability to provide direct benefits (e.g., resources) and indirect (genetic) benefits passed on to offspring. At the same time, body image researchers have extensively focused on the social causes and consequences of men's dissatisfaction with their muscularity and body fat. We connected these two research …

Nurturing The Nurturers: Caritas Literacy Wellness Program, Pakeeza Ali

Doctoral Projects

Burnout, compassion fatigue, and emotional exhaustion remain significant concerns among oncology staff in high-demand ambulatory settings. This quality improvement project implemented the Caritas Literacy and Resilience Training Program (CLARITY), a microlearning-based intervention grounded in Watson’s Caring Science Theory, to support self-caring behaviors and emotional resilience among oncology staff in an ambulatory cancer center. A quasi-experimental, mixed-methods design was used, incorporating pre- and post-intervention survey data and qualitative focus group feedback. Quantitative outcomes were assessed using the Watson Caritas Self-Rating Score (WCSR) and post-intervention ratings of perceived effectiveness of the microlearning format. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to examine pre-post change …

Introduction: Early open fracture management aims to minimise the risk of complications. For the most severe open fracture wounds, multiple irrigation and debridement surgeries are required to overcome severe wound contamination, to reassess the evolving tissue injury or to temporise and plan further surgery. When multiple irrigation and debridement surgeries are needed, uncertainty remains about how the open fracture wound should be managed to best minimise complications. The primary aim of this trial is to compare the antibiotic cement bead pouch vs negative pressure wound therapy in the management of patients with severe open tibia fracture wounds.

Syrah: A Pipeline To Maximize Spatial Transcriptomics Data Output, Carolyn Brewster, Frederick G Mann, Blair Benham-Pyle, Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Spatial analysis of gene expression patterns has been a key technique for revealing the potential functions of genes. Traditionally, these analyses conducted using in-situ hybridizations and other labor-intensive protocols were constrained to examining only a few candidate genes per sample. However, the advent of spatial transcriptomic techniques like Slide-seqV2 has transformed this field, enabling massively parallel exploration of gene expression patterns within their tissue contexts by pairing spatial locations with RNA sequencing. Despite its potential, Slide-seqV2 datasets often produce fewer usable reads than expected. We have identified that a significant source of errors in the technology stems from the chemical …

A Cross-Cultural Investigation Of Consumer Hoarding Behavior During Covid-19: Differences Between Sweden And The United States, Christy M. Cook, Pia A. Albinsson, James E. Stoddard

Atlantic Marketing Journal

This study is a cross-cultural exploration of consumer hoarding behavior during Covid-19; specifically, a comparison between Sweden and the United States. This research analyzes whether Swedish and American consumer hoarding behavior factors of prosocial orientation, consumer resilience and consumer risk-taking propensity reflect identical relationships during less predictable environmental forces (i.e., Covid-19 or global pandemic). Results from Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) show that consumer prosocial orientation is negatively related to consumer hoarding and prosocial orientation is positively related to consumer resilience. In turn, both prosocial orientation and consumer resilience exhibit a positive relationship towards consumer hoarding. Consumer resilience is …

Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines For Postspinal Hypotension In Pregnant Women, Grace Mackey

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Abstract

Postspinal hypotension (PSH) in pregnant women undergoing a cesarean delivery is a common yet significant problem for the safety of the mother and fetus. The physiological effects of a spinal injection may compromise uteroplacental flow, predisposing the fetus to hypoxia and acidosis. Maternal consequences of prolonged hypotension include unstable hemodynamics, loss of consciousness, and nausea. Historically, healthcare providers have used crystalloid preloads and reactive phenylephrine boluses to correct hypotension. However, recent evidence suggests that these interventions have limited effectiveness. Thorough research led to the development of clinical guidelines that propose providing a 500 mL 6% hydroxyethyl starch preload or …

Evidence-Based Practice Guidelines For The Risk Stratification And Anesthetic Management Of Geriatric Surgery Patients At High Risk For Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction Undergoing Non-Cardiac Surgery, Patrick M. Garvey

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

As the global geriatric surgical population rapidly expands, managing complications like postoperative cognitive dysfunction is increasingly essential, given its adverse impacts on recovery, quality of life, and healthcare costs. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction can lead to extended hospital stays, delayed recovery, and significant cognitive decline, particularly among elderly patients exposed to general anesthesia. This quality improvement final scholarly project develops and hypothetically implements evidence-based practice guidelines for anesthetic management in geriatric patients at high risk for postoperative cognitive dysfunction undergoing non-cardiac surgery. This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project uses preoperative cognitive assessments, such as the Mini-Cog tool, to identify patients …

Practice Considerations For Perioperative Ondansetron Use In Parturients Undergoing Cesarean Sections With Spinal Anesthesia, Mackenzie Glaros

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Elective cesarean sections are often performed with spinal anesthesia, a form of neuraxial anesthesia that offers superior pain relief and reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia. However, over 50% of parturients experience side effects from spinal anesthesia, including shivering, hypotension, nausea, and vomiting, which can cause both physiological and psychological issues for the laboring mother and be detrimental to the fetus. Preventing these side effects is vital for improving safety, patient satisfaction, and minimizing complications. While various interventions and medications have been explored to manage these effects, no standardized guidelines exist for their prevention. A review of existing literature …

Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Consideration: The Use Of Remimazolam Tosilate Instead Of Propofol For Endoscopic Procedures Under Monitored Anesthesia Care In The Elderly Population, Tayler Lynn Detwiler

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Endoscopic procedures are essential for diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal conditions, particularly in a growing elderly population. The selection of sedative agents significantly influences patient safety and procedural outcomes. Propofol, the traditional choice, is successful but associated with risks such as hypotension, bradycardia, and respiratory depression, particularly in elderly patients. This hypothetical Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project explores the use of remimazolam tosilate (RT), a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine, as an alternative to propofol during monitored anesthesia care (MAC) for elderly patients undergoing endoscopic procedures. The project utilizes a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to compare RT and propofol regarding hemodynamic …

These complications can increase hospital stays, healthcare costs, and mortality. This final scholarly project investigates the impact of lung protective ventilation in adult patients undergoing abdominal laparoscopic procedures and proposes guidelines for implementation. Lung protective ventilation strategies, including low tidal volume ventilation, individualized positive end-expiratory pressure, and recruitment maneuvers. Current research shows potential in mitigating postoperative pulmonary complications by improving intraoperative oxygenation and lung compliance. Using the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice model, this …

Evidence-Based Guidelines For Intraoperative Quantitative Neuromuscular Monitoring, Noah Graham

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents are routinely used medications vital to anesthetic care. When administering neuromuscular blocking agents, monitoring neuromuscular blockade depth and degree of recovery is a standard of nurse anesthesia practice to facilitate adequate recovery. If not adequately reversed, postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade can cause severe complications. Traditional qualitative neuromuscular monitoring practices largely contribute to the continuing high incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade, as supported by research that qualitative monitoring methods are insensitive to the depth of blockade and clinical situations, providing unreliable physiologic information. As recommended in practice guidelines by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, quantitative neuromuscular …

Implementation Of Evidenced Based Practice Guidelines For Reducing Emergence Delirium In Elderly Patients Undergoing A Total Hip Replacement, Luke D. Kleinfelder

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

A total hip replacement is a common surgery for the elderly population, as it is a successful treatment option for hip fractures and end-stage osteoarthritis, a common condition associated with aging. Recovery from surgery is critical, and any postoperative complication can delay recovery, increase cost, lengthen hospital stay, and lead to a poorer long-term surgical outcome. One of the most common and severe postoperative complications for elderly patients following general anesthesia is emergence delirium. Traditional practice focuses on treating the symptoms of emergence delirium reactively instead of proactively and lacks standardized guidelines. Recent literature found a promising decrease in the …

Integrating The Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Into An Eras Protocol For Bariatric Surgery Patients, Jordan Neibarger

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project investigates the integration of the Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block into Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines for bariatric surgery patients, aiming to improve postoperative outcomes by reducing opioid consumption, time to ambulation, and hospital length of stay (LOS). Bariatric patients who undergo sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) frequently encounter challenges with postoperative pain, increasing opioid use, delaying postoperative time to ambulation, and increasing postoperative hospital LOS. Prolonged postoperative hospitalization increases the financial impact on the healthcare system, and bariatric patients who have a longer postoperative LOS have a higher rate …

Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Guidelines For Using Esmolol To Blunt The Sympathetic Stress Response To Laryngoscopy And Intubation, Maya Kurdi

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Direct laryngoscopy (DL) and endotracheal intubation (ETI) are standard procedures performed during general anesthetic induction, which provoke a sympathetic stress response that can result in intraoperative hemodynamic instability. Traditional agents like lidocaine and fentanyl, commonly used to mitigate the stress response, have limitations and can lead to adverse effects. Recent literature suggests that esmolol, an ultra-short-acting, cardio-selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, may be an effective alternative due to its rapid onset, short duration, and minimal side effects. This final scholarly project (FSP) aims to develop evidence-based practice guidelines for using esmolol as an adjunctive induction agent. A systematic literature review …

Heads Up! Designing A Nursing Assessment Tool For Early Recognition Of Intracranial Hypertension Post Head Injury, Sergio A. Dondiego

Honors Capstones

This meta-analysis identifies noninvasive clinical predictors of intracranial hypertension (IH) post head trauma to develop a multi-criteria IH screening tool designed for nurses to wear on their badge reels. High-sensitivity predictors were prioritized to assist in early IH suspicion. Findings suggest that radiographic-measured abnormalities including an optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) 5.6 mm and signs of significant head trauma via computed tomography (CT) were highly effective for predicting IH and were therefore defined as major criteria for the assessment tool. Other significant examination findings include a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score 8 and atypical pupillary reactivity. While age showed conflicting …

Evaluating The Impact Of Glp-1 Receptor Agonists On Perioperative Aspiration Risk: The Role Of Preoperative Fasting Duration, Caitlin Maureen Carter Bsn, Rn, Adam Wade Johnson Bsn, Rn, Allison Whitney Jones Bsn, Rn, Joseph Kaesberg Bsn, Rn, Kelly Maura Watson Bsn, Rn, Bobby Bellflower Dnsc, Nnp-Bc, Faan, Faanp, Fnap

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Purpose/Background

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly prescribed for diabetes and obesity due to their metabolic benefits; however, these medications delay gastric emptying, raising concern for increased residual content (RGC) and aspiration risk during anesthesia. Current perioperative fasting and medication management guidelines for patients taking GLP-1 RAs remain inconsistent, creating uncertainty for anesthesia providers. This scoping review aimed to synthesize current evidence on the relationship between GLP-1 RA use and perioperative gastric safety, with particular focus on fasting duration and aspiration risk.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Searches were performed using the …
