Comparison Of Post-Operative Pain Control Modalities For Pectus Excavatum Repair, Charlene Dekonenko

This study compares patient outcomes following pectus excavatum repair using cryoablation, epidural, or patient-controlled analgesia for post-operative pain control. Primary outcome: length of stay
Secondary outcomes: operative time, pain scores, time to only oral analgesics.

Felty Syndrome, Dorothea Frederick, Dnp, Fnp-C

College of Nursing Posters

Take home point: It is important to remember that the diagnosis of FS may be masked in patients who present with infection, since active bacterial infection raises the WBC count to normal or slightly elevated – the neutropenia reappears shortly after successful treatment (Kay, 2017).

Determining A Clinical Role For Digital Apps For Mental Health, Hephsibah Loeb, Md, Ann Chandy, Md

Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Posters

In 2017, the FDA approved the first app for treatment of alcohol, cocaine, marijuana and stimulant use disorders. In a preceding randomized controlled trial, mobile software Therapeutic Education System (TES) was found to reduce dropout from treatment and to increase patients’ rates of abstinence from substance abuse. Another study showed that PRIME-D, a mobile-based treatment for depression, positively affected symptoms of depression and disability. Many individuals seek out self-help apps for psychiatric complaints, although, in general, little evidence exists for evaluation of the most accessible mobile apps for self-help. What are the strengths and weaknesses of digital apps for treatment …

The In Vivo Effects Of Alcohol In Lung And Liver Are At Least Partially Mediated Through The Alpha 4 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor, J. Ritzenthaler, E. Torres-Gonzalez, G. E. Arteel, J. Roman

Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine Posters

Rational: Chronic alcohol abuse is a major risk factor for the development of acute lung injury, with 40% of annual cases in the U.S. linked to this disorder. Alcohol is not only associated with increased incidence of acute lung injury in at-risk individuals, but also increased mortality. The exact mechanisms by which alcohol abuse renders the host susceptible to acute lung injury remain poorly defined. We have reported that α4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α4 nAChRs) may serve as potential sensors for alcohol in lung fibroblasts; however, we have not tested their role in vivo.

Methods: To test the role of …
