Alternative Models Of Sports Development In America: Solutions To A Crisis In Education And Public Health, B. David Ridpath

Ohio University Press Open Access Books

In the United States, the entanglement of sports and education has persisted for over a century. Multimillion-dollar high school football stadiums, college coaches whose salaries are many times those of their institutions’ presidents, psychological and educational tolls on student-athletes, and high-profile academic scandals are just symptoms of a system that has come under increasing fire. Institutions large and small face persistent quandaries: which do they value more, academic integrity or athletic success? Which takes precedence: prioritizing elite teams and athletes, or making it possible for all students to participate in sports? How do we create opportunities for academic—not just athletic—development …

Healthcare Cost Savings Through Telemedicine Use At Correctional State Facilities, Sydney Davis, Paulius Mui, Tamara Broadnax, David Collins, Vimal Mishra

Graduate Research Posters

Telemedicine offers both soft and hard return on investment, including cost savings avoidance and convenience of access to care. Incarcerated individuals represent a patient population that uniquely benefit from receiving care via telemedicine. They lack access to subspecialty care as prison facilities are located outside of urban areas, which is compounded by security risks, risk to individuals around inmates, and transportation cost to tertiary care facilities. To attend a brief in-office medical visit, an inmate requires hours of administrative support and logistical coordination, including appointment scheduling, transport arrangement and related fuel expense, and guard accompaniment - all at a financial …

Visualizing The Opioid Overdose With A Dynamic Heat Map To Identify And Predict Vulnerable Communities, Justin R. Chang, Garrett K. Wong, Chase Greco, Yadunandan Pillai, Mohammad A. Shahrezaei, Melissa H. Burton, Rob Lawrence, Alan Dow

Graduate Research Posters

Background: Opioid and heroin overdose epidemic is a public health emergency in the state of Virginia. In order to prevent overdose deaths, we need the target expertise in substance use disorders to areas with high rates of overdose. In particular, an area with an acute spike in overdoses might represent an urgent need for intervention.

Aims: The CDC urges the use of near real-time surveillance to effectively identify overdose incidence, and to coordinate community responses in the states affected by the epidemic, including Virginia. However, current opioid overdose datasets for Virginia lack adequate consistency, granularity, and temporality for …

Reorganization Of Thalamic Intrinsic Connectivity Following Anterior Temporal Lobectomy, Xiaosong He, Chaitanya Ganne, Michael R. Sperling, Ashwini Sharan, Joseph I. Tracy

Department of Neurosurgery Posters

The thalamus has played a crucial role in determining surgical outcome following anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) (He, et al., 2017). Before successfully quantifying the impact of the thalamus on ATL outcomes, this structure’s own intrinsic connectivity must be understood. Accordingly, we characterize thalamic intrinsic connectivity through resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI) longitudinally, exploring its change pre- to post-surgery.

Comprehensive Physical Therapy Management Of A Patient With Motor Control Deficits And Idiopathic Toe-Walking: A Case Report, Chelsey Hoglund, Kirsten Buchanan

Case Report Posters

Idiopathic toe-walking (ITW) describes patients who walk bearing most weight through their forefoot, in the absence of any known cause. Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a chronic condition involving impairments in gross motor, postural, and/or fine motor performance and affects the performance of movements necessary for daily living and academic tasks. Physical therapy intervention has been shown to result in improvements for patients with ITW and DCD, however, there are no known studies that investigate physical therapy intervention for patients with a diagnosis of both ITW and DCD. The purpose of this case report was to describe the comprehensive physical …

Outpatient Physical Therapy Management Of A Total Knee Arthroplasty With Severe Contralateral Knee Osteoarthritis: A Case Report, Michael Ikemura

Case Report Posters

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common cause of severe pain, disability within the community, and dependence on others. In the U.S., a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures and 95% of them are attributed to OA. Following a TKA, pain and walking ability are the most important factors that need to be addressed. The purpose of this case report is to describe comprehensive PT management for a patient following a TKA with severe OA of the contralateral knee and report the outcomes.

The Use Of Therapeutic Exercise And Manual Therapy For A Patient Following Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report, Allison Maynes

Case Report Posters

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder in the United States (US) and is the most common cause for a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery. Approximately 670,000 TKA surgeries are performed annually in the US and it is estimated that one third are bilateral TKAs (BTKA) due to bilateral OA. Simultaneously, BTKA procedures consist of replacing both knees consecutively, in one operation, under one anesthesia. The purpose of this case report is to describe PT management, specifically therapeutic exercise and manual therapy, utilized for a patient who underwent simultaneous BTKA. This case report is needed based on the high …

Task-Oriented Training To Restore Independence In A Patient With Encephalitis In The Intensive Care Unit: A Case Report, Victoria Perez

Case Report Posters

Bacterial meningitis is a serious disease that causes acute inflammation of the meninges, the lining of the brain and spinal cord, which can result in significant morbidity and mortality. There are 15,000 to 25,000 cases in the US yearly and it is one of the top 10 causes of infection-related deaths worldwide. Bacterial meningitis is commonly complicated by encephalitis, inflammation of the brain parenchyma. 30% to 50% of survivors of bacterial encephalitis sustain neurological sequelae, which include memory loss, behavioral disorders, speech disorders, difficulty concentrating. The purpose of this case report was to investigate the use of task-oriented training to …
