Morbidity Of Tendon Harvest Site For Acl Autograft; A Systematic Review, Jessi Fore, Betina Hinckel, Elijah Auch

Posters

Primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are highly common and lead to a significant number of primary ACL reconstruction surgeries in the U.S.1. When choosing a graft, surgeons can pick between auto- and allografts2. An autograft can include a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft, a hamstrings tendon (HT) graft, or a quadriceps tendon (QT) graft2. Currently, there is a wide range of research on graft types, but no paper compares all threes graft types directly. This review will compare literature to determine the morbidity associated with each graft type and determine which autograft is best for primary reconstruction.

Barriers To Breastfeeding In Low Socioeconomic Populations, Nikki Goldberg, Paige Daws

The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing Undergraduate Honors Theses

This literature review assessed and determined common themes among vulnerable populations for the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding habits. The barriers identified were divided into four themes including: lack of support, inflexible employment environment, differences of breastfeeding norms and education, and financial burden. Interventions identified in this literature review were community support programs and the implementation of hospital programs and initiatives to encourage breastfeeding. The need for this research and discussion stems from the sub-optimal infant feeding practices that contribute to infant mortality rates (Gallegos et al., 2020).

This study explored the effect of mood on memory. The experiment tested how emotional states (happiness, anger, and sadness) influence working memory capacity. There were a total of 33 participants (11 in each mood condition). The participants underwent a seven-minute mood induction process that required participants to write about a personal experience that was either happy, angry, or sad (matched to their mood condition). Then, each participant was instructed to complete a complex working memory task, which involved learning a set of words (varying in length from 3 to 7 words), completing a math problem, and then verbally recalling the …

Elation Or Tranquility: The Impact Of Music And Mood On Memory, Grace A. Reynolds

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

In this thesis, I researched how music is intertwined with mood and in what ways it can affect one’s memory. A lot of research indicates that mood can affect one’s memory (e.g., Lee & Sternthal, 1999). For example, it was found that respondents remember information better when in a positive mood rather than a neutral mood. Yet, other research has found that positive moods can reduce the processing of information (Lee & Sternthal, 1999). Additionally, research shows that having a mood in one setting can encourage the recall of information obtained in that setting when the same mood occurs later …
