New Directions in the Human-Animal Bond

A primary mission of universities is promoting student success and well-being. Many college and university personnel have implemented initiatives that offer students the documented benefits of positive human-animal interaction (HAI). Accumulating evidence suggests that assistance dogs, therapy dogs, and shelter dogs can support student wellness and learning. The best programs balance the welfare of humans and canines while assessing students’ needs and complying with all laws and regulations. Contributors to this edited volume have drawn upon research across many disciplines as well as their extensive practical experiences to produce a timely and valuable resource—for administrators and students.

Early Systolic Dysfunction And Impact Of Gene Mutation Severity In Marfan Syndrome, Aaron Clem, Lois J. Starr, David Danford, Mary Craft, Ling Li, Jason Christensen, Anji Yetman

Child Health Research Institute Pediatric Research Forum

Background

Marfan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene that manifests with a variety of features including aortic root dilation. Recent research has identified a primary cardiomyopathy in patients with Marfan syndrome, hypothesized to be due to the presence of abnormal fibrillin-1 in the myocardium. Controversy over the nature and significance of this cardiomyopathy remains. Echocardiographic measurement of the first-phase of ejection (defined as the beginning of systole to peak aortic valve flow) may be more sensitive to systolic dysfunction and provide useful clinical information. The purpose of this study is to:

1. Assess systolic dysfunction in patients …

Femoral And Tibial Indications For Initial And Reoperation Surgeries With Fassier-Duval Intramedullary Rods For Children With Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Adriano Dellapolla, Kaeli Samson, Tinotenda Sekeramayi, Arianna Dalamaggas, Megan Gillespie, Vincent Eaton, Elizabeth Strudthoff, Maegen Wallace

Child Health Research Institute Pediatric Research Forum

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic connective tissue disorder affecting quantity and integrity of collagen type I, which is integral for the strength of osseus tissue. OI has a heterogenous molecular inheritance pattern – divided into four major subgroups (I-IV). Defects in collagen protein products lead to poor development of skeletal structures and increased fracture rates. Children with OI suffer from multiple fractures and bone deformities often requiring surgical intervention with osteotomies and intramedullary telescoping rods, most often with Fassier-Duval (FD) rods. Our study–updated cohort from 2018 paper Azzam et al.–looked at the relationship between initial and reoperation indications …

Evaluation Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Eradication Protocol In Pediatric Patients With Cystic Fibrosis: A Retrospective Medical Chart Review, Adam Devries, Heather Thomas, Diane Acquazzino

Child Health Research Institute Pediatric Research Forum

Background

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a leading cause of lung infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), increasing morbidity and mortality. Despite this, there is no standardized treatment among the medical community for Pa eradication in patients with CF. The Nebraska Regional Cystic Fibrosis Center at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center (CHMC) in Omaha, Nebraska has a Pa eradication protocol. This study aims to increase Pa eradication for children with CF by investigating the effectiveness and adherence to the current Pa eradication protocol.

Methods

This study is a retrospective medical chart review of 1–21-year-olds with CF receiving care …

Neonatal Gut Microbiota Alterations And Local Inflammation Induced By Escherichia Coli Infection Are Modified By Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Prophylaxis, Susana Chavez-Bueno, Hao Xuan, Shahid Umar, Concong Zhong, Wei Yu, Venkatesh Sampath

Presentations

Background: E. coli is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis. Newborns ingest E. coli, which transcytoses the gut producing bacteremia. Lactobacillus spp. decrease E. coli gut transcytosis but the mechanisms involved in this protective effect are not well understood.

Objective: To determine the effects of Lactobacillus pretreatment on the intestinal microbiota and inflammation in neonatal rats orally infected with E. coli.

Design/Methods: Newborn rats were orally pretreated on day of life (DOL) 1 and 2 with four doses of 107 colony forming units (CFU) of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) or PBS. On DOL 2, pups received orally 106 CFU of …

Neurodevelopmental Profiles Of Infants Born < 30 Weeks' Gestation At 2 Years Of Age, Marie Camerota, Elisabeth C. Mcgowan, Julie A. Hofheimer, T. Michael O'Shea, Brian S. Carter, Jennifer Helderman, Jennifer Check, Charles R. Neal, Steven L. Pastyrnak, Lynne Smith, Cynthia Loncar, Stephen Sheinkopf, Lynne Dansereau, Sheri A. Dellagrotta, Barry Lester

Presentations

Background: Infants born (PMA) are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental impairment by age 2. Prior studies have tended to examine individual outcomes separately, rather than investigating whether there are subgroups of children with distinct neurobehavioral profiles.

Objective: To determine distinct neurodevelopmental profiles in 2 year old children born cognitive, language, motor, and behavioral characteristics.

Design/Methods: NOVI (Neonatal Neurobehavior and Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants) is a multi-center study of infants born (BSID-III) subscale scores, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) syndrome scores, diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP; Gross Motor Function Classification System and abnormal neurologic exam), and positive screen for autism spectrum …

Evaluation Of Clinical Pharmacist Management Trends For Depression, Adam Olesen, Kelsie Fiss, Judy Wong

Providence Pharmacy PGY2 Program at Providence Medical Group 2021

Background

• Depression affects almost 10 of Americans over 18 years old 1 • Per the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention, the 2020 COVID 19 pandemic has led to an increase in adults struggling with mental health 1 • There is currently a shortage of mental health prescribers, with over half of all counties within the United States not having a single psychiatrist 2 • Southern Oregon also has a shortage of mental health prescribers, resulting in longer wait times for care • Evidence demonstrates that depression managed by pharmacists in the primary care setting led to increased follow …
