The Impact Of Remote Video Monitoring On Costs And Patient Outcomes, Karen Wyche Latham Msn, Rn, Nea-Bc, Cenp

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Reducing patient falls remains a challenge for many acute care hospitals. Sitters (1:1 observation) are often utilized as an intervention to mitigate this. This costly intervention has drained both personnel and financial resources, forcing hospitals to find less costly alternatives to achieve the same safety outcomes. Remote video monitoring technology (RVM) is an innovative technology that supports the monitoring of multiple patients by one observer from a remote location and is an effective alternative in reducing patient falls and/or injury and associated costs.

Aim: The goal of this evidence-based practice initiative was to evaluate the effectiveness of RVM compared …

Wastewater: History And Impact On Society, James H. Macy

Honors Thesis

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, wastewater surveillance has gained popularity and has proved itself to be an useful public health tool. In this paper, I looked at four different methods to filter wastewater: Membrane filtering, Polyethylene Glycol, Skim Milk Flocculation, and Magnetic Bead filtering. Membrane filtering’s main goal is to take a large sample and reduce it to a small sample for molecular analysis. Polyethylene Glycol helps the Covid-19 RNA bind to it. With the use of centrifuge the RNA is spun down to a pellet used for molecular analysis. Skim Milk Flocculation uses skimmed milk as the flocculation polymer and …

Investigating The Effects Of Sex And Carvedilol On Ischemia Preconditioning Protective Effect, Casey Jc Miller

Honors Thesis

Many studies have been done on ischemic preconditioning and its protective effects using the murine model with overwhelmingly consistent and promising results. However, many clinical trials have failed to demonstrate the protective effects of ischemic preconditioning. The causes of the inconsistency are unknown. The effect of sex on ischemic preconditioning protection is largely unclear, which may be a contributing factor. Additionally, in clinical trials, the recruited patients were most likely taking some medications. This project aimed to test the differences in sex on preconditioning protection and the effect of a common β-blocker medication, Carvedilol, on preconditioning protection. Tourniquet-induced unilateral hindlimb …
