The Benefits Of Exercise Therapy For Breast Cancer Patients, Fallon Welsh

Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium

Abstract

Background: Many strategies for breast cancer prevention and treatment are largely focused on chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and other pharmacologic therapies, which can be expensive and even may result in long-term morbidity and mortality. Due to the fact that thousands of women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, improved interventions and non-pharmacologic treatments need to be further investigated.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and positive outcomes of exercise therapy for patients with breast cancer as well as to identify what types of exercise interventions are favorable to incorporate …

Method: An integrative literature review was …

Medication Compliance In Elderly Alzheimer Latinos When The Caregiver Is A Family Member, Yolanda Gonzalez

Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium

Abstract

Background: As the Latino population is expected to expand in coming decades, it will increase cases of Alzheimer’s disease among the elderly in this group. Culture values deem family members to undertake the caregiving role of their elderly Alzheimer Latino member. The caregiver role includes that the elderly complies with the treatment regime, specifically medication compliance. Equally, the needs of the family caregivers need to be examined to determine the effects of culture, which can contribute to medication adherence.

Objectives: The purpose was to explore the needs of family caregivers and the factors of medication compliance with …

Examining Risk Factors That Inhibit Postpartum Breastfeeding For The Rural Population: An Integrated Review Of Literature, Kiara Porties

Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium

Abstract

Background: Breastmilk is a crucial food for children’s health and development, by providing all vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antibodies that children need to grow and thrive. Organizations worldwide recommend only giving an infant breast-milk for the first 6 months of life (no other food or water), and breastfeeding (BF) for two years or beyond. Many mothers do not breastfeed their infant despite the many benefits of breastmilk and recommendations. Determining risk factors for non-initiation and early cessation of breastfeeding will allow nurses to address concerns, improving breastfeeding outcomes.

Objective: The purpose of an integrative literature review was to determine …

Therapeutic Synergy With Hyperbaric Medicine: Clinical Experiences In Enhancing Hbot Effects, Paul Anderson

International Symposium for Hyperbaric Medicine

Although very little is currently published regarding the use of synergists with HBOT it is an area of great clinical curiosity. For example some animal data using oxidative IV therapies in conjunction with HBOT which showed benefit have had to be modified when transferred to human protocols. Other therapies which have shown theoretical promise have exhibited synergy with HBOT and are emerging as future directions to clinically augment the benefits of HBOT.

Tumor Biology And Hyperbaric Oxygen: Differential Effects In Tumor Versus Normal Tissues, Paul Anderson

International Symposium for Hyperbaric Medicine

When assessing the potential benefits of HBOT in oncology patients occasional confusion arises when extrapolating the cytokine, epigenetic and other effects of HBOT in non-cancerous tissues (neurological and other injuries etc.) versus those in cancerous tissues. This confusion often results in misinterpretation of data and concern over potential harm in HBOT oncology cases. The focus of this presentation is to point out the data supporting these differences as we know it to date and underscore the benefits while decreasing this clinical confusion.

Mass Spectrometry Image Creator (Msic): Ion Mobility / Mass Spectrometry Imaging Workflow In Python, Stephen Creger, Julia Laskin, Daniela Mesa Sanchez

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful characterization technique that enables identification of compounds in complex mixtures. Acquiring mass spectra in a spatially-resolved manner (i.e. over a grid), allows the data to be used to generate images that show the spatial distribution and relative intensities of every compound in a sample. These images can be used to monitor and identify biomarkers, explore the metabolism of compounds within tissues, and much more. However, the limitations of mass spectrometry can result in ambiguous compound identifications. Another characterization tool, ion mobility spectrometry (IM) can be integrated into existing MS routines to address this problem; …
