Student Research Symposium
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a critical public health issue that disproportionately affects select vulnerable populations, including race/ethnic minorities, low-income individuals, and those without health insurance. Despite high incidences of TBI and its considerable impact on morbidity and mortality, research is limited in addressing how the intersectionality of vulnerabilities contributes to outcomes post-TBI. This literature review aims to synthesize existing knowledge regarding Social determinants of health (SDH) on TBI outcomes, focusing on functional recovery and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study will use a prospective cohort research design where TBI patients at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) will …

Student Research Symposium
Definitions for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) terminology within the context of quantum biology (QB) have recently been proposed. These definitions aim to elucidate concepts such as qi meridians in TCM. Our study presents a hypothesis that seeks to provide an operational definition for Spirit (Shen) and Bright Spirit (Shen Ming) in TCM via a scoping review. We propose that Shen represents physical, phenomenological proto-consciousness/consciousness in the forms of computation, such as singular particles/bits/qubits, computers, organisms, or computational strategies, whereas Shen Ming may refer to emergent, quasi-physical meta-proto-consciousness/consciousness formed by coherent relationships of multiple orchestrated/integrated units of computation; manifesting itself as …
