Mismatch Negativity Event-Related Potential Elicited By Speech Stimuli In Geriatric Patients, Dana Pierce, David Mcpherson

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Much of the research done in the field of speech perception has focused on the behavioral aspect of language and not on the functionality of the brain itself. For our research, we focused on the neurological processes of speech perception through Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) ¹ and brain mapping. This allowed us to visualize the processes that the brain must go through for successful speech perception. Specifically, we were interested as to how the brain may differ in its processing of speech information in young (18 to 27 years of age) and senior (65 to 80 years of age) individuals. For …

Egos Gone Wild: Threat Detection And The Domains Indicative Of Toxic Leadership, Matthew S. Arbogast

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Toxic leaders are a serious problem, but shockingly, there is no standard detection tool that is both efficient and accurate. Compounding the problem are the various definitions and descriptions used to operationalize toxic leadership. This research sought to align the literature, offer a concise definition, and assess the domains indicative of toxic leadership through two conceptually compatible studies. Study 1 involved development of a toxic leader threat detection scale. Results using a variable-centered approach indicated that follower perceptions (n = 357) of leader empathy (4-item scale; α = .93) and the need for achievement recognition (4-item scale; α = .83) …

Implementing A Monitoring Program For Patients On Direct Oral Anticoagulants, Jiehyun Lee, Shally S. Singh, Michael L. Smith

Research Day

Service or Program: The Backus Hospital Medication Management Clinic located in Norwich, CT provides a newly implemented Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) management service. This service is provided by a clinical pharmacist for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism. The clinical pharmacist assists in the initiation, monitors for the efficacy and safety, and provides education on the benefits and risks of DOAC therapy. The clinical pharmacist communicates to the referring physicians on any significant concerns or recommendations with DOAC therapy. Lifestyle, renal function, and other medication use will be evaluated to ensure safety and stability. The referred patients will …

Adenovirus Nephritis In Kidney Transplant Recipients: Clinical Features And Management, Osamuyi Idubor

Research Day

Background: Adenoviruses (AdV) are double-stranded DNA viruses that are well recognized as cause of significant morbidity and allograft dysfunction in transplant recipients. Adenovirus nephritis (AdN) can present with hemorrhagic cystitis or tubulointerstitial nephritis. Histological evaluation demonstrates interstitial inflammation, granulomas. Here we report 8 cases of AdN in kidney transplant recipients and their clinical course, management, and outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective search to identify cases of AdN in renal transplant recipients from 2009-2016 at the Emory Transplant Center.

Results: The diagnosis of AdN was confirmed by immunostaining on kidney transplant. All patients presented with complaints of constitutional symptoms; fever, dysuria, hematuria, …

Assessment Of Appropriate Treatment Of Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia, Essie Samuel

Research Day

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) when present within the bloodstream can result in increased rates of morbidity and 30-day all-cause mortality. Previous studies have assessed the significance of Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) bacteremia, where the treatment of choice is a β-lactam (or vancomycin if penicillin-allergic) or vancomycin, respectively. Rapid and appropriate antimicrobial selection is crucial for resolution of symptoms and prevention of relapse. For S.aureus bacteremia (SAB) treatment with systemic antibiotics, a short-course (14 days) can be utilized for uncomplicated cases and for patients with complicated SAB, long-course regimens are recommended at ≥ 4 weeks. …

Delayed Severe Drug Induced Cholestasis After Anabolic Steroids Exposure, Rashed A. Alfarra, Haris Hatic, Kelly M. Adkins, Shashi Poddar

Research Day

Anabolic steroids therapy is linked to a distinctive form of acute cholestasis that generally arises within 1 to 4 months of starting therapy but may be delayed to as long as 6 to 24 months in some reported cases. We are presenting an unusual case where acute cholestasis happened 5 weeks after discontinuing short course (7 days) of anabolic steroids.

A 20-year-old African American male without significant past medical history presented with jaundice, mild nausea and generalized pruritis. He admitted to self-initiation of oral Stanozolol 40 mg daily for 7-days about 5 weeks before his admission. No prior incidence and …

Examining Addiction Treatment Facilities: An Observational Study From The Perspective Of Medical Students, Holly Hagle, Reshma Patel, Nidhi Patel, Abigail Buckholz

Research Day

At the Institute for Research, Education, and Training in Addictions (IRETA), medical students are selected nationwide to learn about addiction and interact with patients undergoing treatment. It is well known that most medical schools do not provide significant training in addiction, and part of IRETA's goal is to remedy this need. In this study, medical students took observational field notes during site visits to various addiction treatment facilities. The data consisted of a comparison of treatment programs, as well as the results of motivational interviewing of patients. A thematic analysis was then conducted by the three students and the IRETA …

Folate Deficiency In May-Thurner Syndrome, Haris Hatic, Suzanne Wang, Prasad S. Garimella

Research Day

May–Thurner Syndrome (MTS) is a condition defined by an anatomical variant that results in the compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery. This case report describes MTS in a Hispanic female with folate deficiency. 44-year-old Nicaraguan female who is a lifelong nonsmoker without any past medical history presented with left leg pain and swelling for seven days. The patient stated that her whole left leg was edematous without erythema. No recent travel, trauma, surgery or immobilization of the lower extremity. Initial vitals on presentation were unremarkable. Physical exam revealed a tender swollen of left …

Art, Technology, Medicine: Creativity And Innovation In The Health Sciences, Skye Bickett, Erica Rosalle, Meghan Di Rito

Research Day

Objectives: Our goal was to introduce our community to ways that creative or technological arts intersect with the healing arts. The event brought our community together for fun and stress relief, while teaching about different aspects of medical education, patient education, and therapy.

Methods: Drawing on the expertise of staff outside of the Library allowed us to enrich programming and make it interprofessional. The event had four components: Graphic Medicine, Art and Music Therapy, Gaming Technologies, and Health and Wellness. Each station included an example of the component, description of the modality, and a digital literature list.

Results: We asked …

Using Educational Board Games Adjunct To Traditional Lectures For Pharmacy Students In Learning Infectious Disease, Sirena Hu, Haley Ethredge, Drew Cates, Essie Samuel

Research Day

To determine if the utilization of modified games, such as ID-Candyland and ID-Taboo, are effective methods to reinforce student knowledge gained in traditional infectious diseases (ID) lectures. When confronted with various challenges of learning ID and the associated pharmacotherapy, pharmacy students often have difficulty applying knowledge learned within the traditional lecture setting to clinical practice and real-life situations involving patients. In addition to lectures and reading assignments, the utilization of educational games can extend learning opportunities, reinforce current understanding and promote a fun and competitive environment. Studies have shown that games are a powerful teaching strategy to develop creative learning …
