A Leadership Trait Analysis Of U.S. Vice President Jd Vance, Aubrey Immelman, Sophie J. Heck

Psychology Faculty Publications

This paper presents the results of an indirect leadership trait analysis of U.S. vice president JD Vance, conducted for the purpose of anticipating Vance’s likely leadership style in a high-level executive role in politics, from the conceptual perspective of Margaret Hermann’s leadership trait analysis (LTA) model, employing an empirically based “psychodiagnostic meta-analytic” methodology.

Psychodiagnostically relevant data relating to Vance were collected from biographical sources and media reports and synthesized into a personality profile using the Hermann Leadership Trait Inventory (HLTI) — constructed expressly for the present study — which taps seven leadership trait dimensions: belief in one’s ability to control …

Board Exam Preparation Resource Trends In Academic Health Sciences Libraries Serving Colleges Of Osteopathic Medicine Programs., Joanne Muellenbach, Kyle Robinson, Hsin-Liang (Oliver) Chen, Harold S Bright, Lori Fitterling

PCOM Scholarly Works

BACKGROUND: The study seeks to identify the board exam preparation (prep) resources made available to medical students by academic health sciences libraries and other departments within U.S. colleges of osteopathic medicine (COM) programs, and the extent to which these resources are utilized by medical students and educators.

METHODS: The study was conducted in two phases. In phase one, forty-two COM library directors were invited to complete a survey regarding their usage, funding, and access models for available board prep resources. In phase two, semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom to explore the library's role in providing access to these resources. …

Plant-Dominant Low-Protein Diet Versus Standard Care In Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease Stages 3–5: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol, Joelle Abi Kharma, Rana Sultan, Rana Rizk, Dalya Haroun, Hala Kilani, Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh, Jessica Gubbels, Kathelijne Bessems

All Works

Background The plant-dominant low-protein diet (PLADO), providing 0.6-0.8 g/kg/d of protein with ≥50% derived from plant sources, may improve acid–base balance and metabolic outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, concerns remain regarding safety and feasibility, and experimental evidence is limited. Objective This protocol describes a randomized controlled trial (RCT), designed to evaluate the efficacy, nutritional and biochemical safety, implementation feasibility, and cost-effectiveness of PLADO compared with the standard renal diet in adults with CKD stages 3-5. Methods This unblinded, parallel-group RCT will enroll 48 adults with CKD stages 3-5 in a medical center in Lebanon and randomize participants 1:1 …

Neuromuscular Junction Dysfunction In A Subset Of Charcot-Marie Tooth And Related Peripheral Neuropathies Mouse Models, Jonathan R. Funke, Celeste Martinez, Samia L. Pratt, Alaura D. Rice, Abigail L.D. Tadenev, Robert W. Burgess

Health & Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT) disease is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous inherited peripheral neuropathy for which there is no treatment. CMT patients often present with weakness, fatigue, and muscle atrophy in the distal limbs. Improving function at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) may improve function in some CMT patients. Using mouse models, we investigated eight CMT subtypes for NMJ phenotypes by morphology and functional deficits assessed by electromyography (EMG). We did not find NMJ abnormalities in mice with mutations in Gjb1Y/Δ2 (CMT1X), or Yars1E196K/E196K (diCMTC). Mice with mutations in Ighmbp2Y918S/Y918S (CMT2S) and Pla2g6M1J/M1J (Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy) have neuromuscular …

Enhancing Care Coordination Between The Same Day Clinic (Sdc) And Primary Care Group (Pcg) By Facilitating Care Establishment With A Primary Care Provider (Pcp), Saba Zabarah

Doctor of Nursing Practice Final Project Abstract

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Quality Improvement (QI) project was to connect patients to a Primary Care Provider (PCP). The specific aim was to increase by 25% the percentage of patients without a PCP who established care with a PCP within 30 days of visiting the Same Day Clinic (SDC).

BACKGROUND

The SDC provides episodic care for acute illness, making it difficult to coordinate care for patients who do not have a PCP and require follow-up. The project was implemented in an outpatient clinic that is connected to a larger primary care group in Houston, Texas.

METHODOLOGY

The intervention included …
