Virtual Reality For Therapeutic Recreation In Dementia Hospice Care: A Feasibility Study, Claire Ferguson, Natalie Manley, Elizabeth Lyden, Julie Blaskewicz Boron, Marcia Shade

EMET Projects

Purpose

• Feasibility study to explore virtual reality (VR) via wireless goggles as a therapeutic recreation for people with dementia on hospice (hPWD)
• To explore the acceptability of VR to hPWD
• To identify any problems and/or benefits associated with using VR as a form of therapeutic recreation in hPWD on hospice

Malondialdehyde Acetaldehyde Adducts (Maa-Adducts) Direct Distinctive Pro-Inflammatory Responses In Endothelial And Macrophage Cell Lines, Patrick J. Opperman, Michael J. Duryee, Ted R. Mikuls, Geoffrey M. Thiele, Dahn L. Clemens, Daniel R. Anderson

Chronic inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. At present, the mechanism(s) by which inflammation contributes to this disease isnot entirely understood. Inflammation is known to induce oxidative stress, of which one consequence is lipid peroxidation. This process leads to the production of malondialdehyde (MDA), which can subsequently break down to form acetaldehyde (AA). These two aldehyde by-products can covalently interact with the ε-amino group of lysineswithin proteins and lipoproteins leading to the formation of highly immunogenic malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde adducts (MAA-adducts). The aim of this study was to determine the in-vitro cytokine response of endothelial cells and macrophages …

Asthma, chronic bronchitis and COPD are common adverse respiratory health effects among persons exposed to agriculture organic dust work environments.

• Occupational inhalant exposures have been increasingly associated with the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease development, particularly among males. Agriculture workers have increased risk of RA and generalized bone disease.
• Chronic lung disease is associated with production of characteristic autoantibodies associated with RA (e.g.anti-citrullinated antibodies), even in absence of RA disease.
• The mechanistic link between pulmonary inflammation and arthritis (and vice versa) remains poorly understood. Animal models are lacking.

Differential Microglial Responses Induced By N-A-Synuclein-Specific Effector T Cell Clones, Sean C. Selko, Rebecca A. Wilshusen, Katherine E. Olson, R. Lee Mosley

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder in which symptoms derive from deficits in dopamine neurotransmitter levels secondary to loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) associated with misfolding and accumulation of α−synuclein. Neuroinflammation via microglia and T effector cells (Teffs) contribute to dopaminergic neuronal cell death. Recognition of cytokine profiles of pro-inflammatory microglia is not well understood and serve as potential therapeutic targets to reduce neuroinflammation. Recent studies demonstrated a novel Th17.1 Teff clonotype increases neurotoxicity. The aim of this study was to demonstrate in vitro cytokine responses by BV-2 microglia induced by Th1, …

Gendered Differences In Consent And Brochures For Permanent Birth Control, Caleb Ayers, Arika L. Hoffman, Jenenne A. Geske

EMET Projects

Background

Gendered differences have been documented for many healthcare outcomes. One cause of such differences is gendered differences in language, which has been documented in many fields. The difference in language used to describe permanent birth control to women (tubal ligation) versus men (vasectomy) has not been studied.

Objectives

To analyze consent forms and brochures for female and male permanent sterilization for gendered differences in language.

Methods

A convenience sample of consent forms and brochures was obtained and analyzed for differences in the emphasis on various subject matter.

Results

Physiologic explanations and insurance and/or cost was discussed more in documents …
