Statin Therapy Vs. Plant-Based Diet For Reduction Of Plaque Burden In Coronary Artery Disease, Molly Evelyn Zak
Statin Therapy Vs. Plant-Based Diet For Reduction Of Plaque Burden In Coronary Artery Disease, Molly Evelyn Zak
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
Coronary artery disease is one of the most common chronic health conditions to affect adults in the United States, with heart disease being the leading cause of death. Contributing factors include high prevalence of processed foods containing saturated fats, low fiber diets and poor overall nutrition, and physical inactivity. These practices increase risk of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) plaque buildup and calcification within arteries that supply the heart, leading to decreased blood flow and subsequent oxygen supply. Treatment for coronary artery disease has traditionally been dominated by HMG CoA-reductase inhibitors, or statins. These medications are more effective than the alternative …

Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
The purpose of this research and systematic literature review is to determine if oral contraceptives or intrauterine devices are more effective in the treatment of dysmenorrhea pain. It is estimated that at least 50% of women worldwide live with dysmenorrhea and there is very little research determining what the best treatment options are for it. The main treatment recommended by health care providers for dysmenorrhea are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen. However, this treatment option may not provide the relief that women with this condition need. This review used three main databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Clinical Key …

Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
GLP-1 therapies show promise in managing type 2 diabetes and obesity in adolescents. This review explores the efficacy, safety, and variations in treatment outcomes. GLP-1 therapies (liraglutide, dulaglutide, exenatide) effectively reduce HbA1c levels. Weight reduction is a positive outcome crucial for type 2 diabetes and obesity management. Safety concerns and gastrointestinal effects emphasize the need for monitoring during GLP-1 therapy. Insights from studies on Lixisenatide offer valuable information for healthcare providers. There is consensus on general effectiveness, but debates on specific outcomes and long-term effects persist. Case-based investigations suggest potential variations in treatment responses, requiring further exploration. Bridging the gap …

The Efficacy Of Probiotic Use In Patients With Anxiety And Depression, Joanna Mcclelland
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
The gut-brain connection has become more widely researched for its impacts on anxiety and depression. This bodes the question that if the gut microbiome can be altered, would there be a decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression as a result? One way to alter gut microbiome is to implement a prebiotic or probiotic. To determine if this is an effective treatment option for anxiety and depression, a literature review was conducted using primarily randomized clinical trials. PubMed was the primary database that was used for this research. Articles were sorted and chosen based upon applicability to the problem being …
Comparison Of Cryopreservation Of Ovarian Tissue Versus Cryopreservation Of Oocytes In Fertility Preservation, Madison Nitschke
Comparison Of Cryopreservation Of Ovarian Tissue Versus Cryopreservation Of Oocytes In Fertility Preservation, Madison Nitschke
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
This literature review aims to compare ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) and oocyte cryopreservation (OC) as methods for fertility preservation. Electronic health science databases including PubMed, Clinical Key, ScienceDirect, and UpToDate were utilized. Seven articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed for this comprehensive review. This review indicates that both oocyte and ovarian tissue cryopreservation can effectively preserve fertility, however, ovarian tissue cryopreservation is deemed most effective for prepubertal girls at high risk of iatrogenic primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), or women who are unable to postpone gonadotoxic treatment. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation offers advantages that oocyte cryopreservation does not, such as …
Patient Outcomes With Tele-Emergency Medicine Services In Rural Areas, Andrea Rieder
Patient Outcomes With Tele-Emergency Medicine Services In Rural Areas, Andrea Rieder
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
The purpose of this literature review was to examine patient outcomes with the use of tele-emergency medicine. Teleemergency medicine serves as a tool to expand the healthcare team in rural facilities by connecting them with specialized providers, typically via video conference call, for assistance in surge or lowstaff situations, or for guidance in more complicated cases that rural providers might typically transfer to a larger hospital. A benefit of adopting a tele-emergency medicine service is that it can shorten time to care and reduce the need for transfers, thereby reducing associated costs. The question arises as to whether patient outcomes …

Single Center Retrospective Comparison Of Bivalirudin And Heparin For Therapeutic Anticoagulation In Pediatric Patients, Clayton Habiger, Shannon L. Carpenter
Single Center Retrospective Comparison Of Bivalirudin And Heparin For Therapeutic Anticoagulation In Pediatric Patients, Clayton Habiger, Shannon L. Carpenter
Posters
Background: The pharmacological choice for continuous anticoagulation therapy in pediatric patients has classically been unfractionated heparin. However, with heparin there are risks of treatment resistance in pediatrics given differences in developmental hemostasis, and contemporary medications such as bivalirudin offer a valuable alternative. Bivalirudin binds to thrombin and has shown encouraging results compared to heparin in pediatric patients receiving ECMO, but no comparison has been made in patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation. Three years ago, Children’s Mercy Pediatric Hematology department encouraged bivalirudin use over heparin use for therapeutic anticoagulation requiring a continuous infusion. Objectives: Compare clinical and laboratory outcomes in patients receiving …
