Qtc Comparison Between Neonates At Risk For Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome And Healthy Non-Opioid Exposed Neonates, Kevin Lam, Susan C.A. Adeniyi-Jones, Md, Gary Peltz, Walter K. Kraft

Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Cancer Biology Posters

Introduction

• While neonatal electrocardiograms (ECGs) are typically read, QTc can be difficult to assess due to immense variability within the first week of life
• In neonates with in utero opioid exposure, there was no difference in mean QTc between those receiving placebo or ondansetron for five days post-delivery in a clinical trial (NCT01965704)

Reducing Vancomycin In A Cicu, Karoline Krzywda, Lauren Johnson, Allison Taber

Posters

Introduction: In the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) empiric vancomycin is frequently prescribed. This practice occurs without wide knowledge of the true rates of methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA) and methicillin resistant staph epidermidis (MRSE) infections. Given the potential for harmful side effects of vancomycin as well as concern for growing antibiotic resistance we sought to better characterize local unit prescribing practices and MRSA/MRSE infection rates to guide our quality improvement project with an aim of reducing vancomycin use in our CICU. Methods: This project is taking place at Children’s Mercy Kansas City CICU, a 24 bed unit with an …

In Search Of The Unknown Mimic Of Abusive Head Trauma (Aht), Ruairi Smith-Dewey, Angela Bachim, Colleen Bressler, Kristine Campbell, Lori Frasier, Danielle Horton, Nicole Johnson, Jan Leonard, Megan Letson, Caitlin Mcnamara, Shalon Nienow, Ashley K. Sherman, Stuart Sommers, Joanne Wood, James Anderst

Posters

Background Child Abuse Pediatricians (CAPs) are accused of misdiagnosing a yet-to-be-identified mimic as abusive head trauma (AHT), particularly in ill children with an isolated subdural hemorrhage (SDH). Though not diagnostic criteria, specific social stressors are identified as AHT risk factors. The existence of a mimic can be assessed by comparing the prevalence of AHT risk factors across study groups (See Table 1). Objective We hypothesize that the distribution of AHT risk factors will be: fewer in the CAP-identified mimic group versus the CAP-diagnosed abuse group, no difference between ill SDH only and SDH+CSI groups as these are likely the same …

Reducing Antibiotic Duration For Pneumonia And Sinusitis In The Emergency Department: A Quality Improvement Approach, Joshua Saucedo, Leslie Hueschen, Amanda Nedved, Marsha Dannenberg, Patricia Phillips, Jennifer Floyd, Alaina N. Burns, Rana El Feghaly

Posters

Background: Antibiotic duration is one of the pillars of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) as it helps to limit unnecessary antibiotic exposure while continuing to provide appropriate care for infections. In our emergency department (ED), clinicians are using first-line guideline-recommended antibiotics as an appropriate choice for most patients (per our ASP report tracking), however, duration continues to be prolonged especially for community acquired pneumonia (CAP) and acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS). National guidelines recommend shortening antibiotic durations to 3-5 days for CAP and 5-7 days for ABRS, however currently only 22% of patients discharged from our ED receive the recommended duration. Objective: …

Acceptability Of A Brief Acceptance And Commitment Therapy Intervention For Caregivers Of Children With Pediatric Feeding Disorder, Emma Murray, Taylor P. Harris, Annie L. Ryder, Alexandra Zax, Taylor M. Datillo, Corey Schurman, Laura Slosky, Sarah T. Edwards, Delwyn Catley, Ann M. Davis, Dana Bakula

Posters

Introduction: Pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) affects 1 in 37 young children and is associated with heightened stress and anxiety among caregivers. Currently, there are no established interventions that target PFD caregiver stress, and traditional models of adult mental healthcare face feasibility issues in pediatric care settings. To address this gap, we developed a brief acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) intervention (Clinical Trials #NCT06001398). We assessed caregiver-perceived acceptability to inform future efficacy testing. Method: Twenty caregivers participated in a NIMH-funded pilot study of a 2-session ACT intervention for parents of children with PFD. Caregivers with children aged 2 to 6 years …

An Exploration Of Telemedicine Application Service Quality And Its Relevance With Patient Satisfaction, Victoria Olguin

Posters - 2025

Telehealth is the usage of technology to connect people from distinct locations to deliver healthcare services. Though the COVID-19 pandemic did accelerate the usage of telehealth, the practice of telehealth can date back to the civil war in the 1860s, when messages were sent from wounded soldiers back to medics. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the telehealth care model quickly accelerated and is now used and accepted by many worldwide. After the pandemic, patients have continued to use telehealth health services by downloading telehealth mobile applications on their mobile devices that connect them to their healthcare provider. This has raised …

Analysis Of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Cards Toxin In The Air-Liquid Interface Bronchial Culture Model, Alexandria Hernandez

Posters - 2025

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pathogen that can cause severe respiratory infection that can rarely be life threating. There are currently no vaccines against M. pneumoniae, and the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains of M. pneumoniae is on the rise.1 During infection, M. pneumoniae produces a toxin called Community Acquired Respiratory Distress Syndrome (CARDS) toxin, which plays a role in establishing infection. Analysis of the crystal structure of CARDS toxin protein reveals three protein domains: D1, D2,and D3.

After entering a cell, CARDS toxin traffics by a retrograde process to the ER of the cell, where it undergoes processing.4 Our current studies …
