Are Polypills A Viable Option To Improve Health Outcomes In Those With Cardiovascular Disease?, Alexander Voytovich, Cara Mckee
Are Polypills A Viable Option To Improve Health Outcomes In Those With Cardiovascular Disease?, Alexander Voytovich, Cara Mckee
Physician Assistant Capstones, 2020-current
Objective: Does the use of polypill therapy improve systolic blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels more than usual care in adults with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) or with 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk >10%. Design: Systematic literature review. Methods: Searches were performed in PubMed and UpToDate using the following search terms polypill and cardiovascular. Other limits included: randomized control trials, adults, published in the last 10 years, LDL-C and systolic blood pressure. Results: Analysis of articles to ensure similar design, intervention and fit with the other inclusion/exclusion criteria yielded three studies: Labefer et al, Muñoz et al, and …

Ketamine As A Treatment Modality For Treatment-Resistant Depression, Tracy Wulff, Shen Cao
Physician Assistant Capstones, 2020-current
Many recent studies have demonstrated the ability of ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, to produce antidepressant effects that may be effective in helping reduce treatment-resistant major depression. In particular, three double-blinded randomized control trials have been conducted to assess the viability and effectiveness of this medication for treatment. This systematic literature review will analyze these studies and determine if the overall research indicates that ketamine is useful in improving depression as measured by the Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)1.
Objective: Assess the effectiveness of IV Ketamine in reducing treatment-resistant major depressive disorder as measured by the Montgomery–Asberg …
Identifying The Molecular Pathways That Drive Retinal Degeneration In The Childhood Neurodegenerative Disease: Mucolipidosis Type Iv, Michael Pamonag
Identifying The Molecular Pathways That Drive Retinal Degeneration In The Childhood Neurodegenerative Disease: Mucolipidosis Type Iv, Michael Pamonag
Masters Theses, 2020-current
Humans, like many other vertebrates, possess five Aristotelian senses (vision, olfaction, hearing, taste, and touch) which we use to experience and navigate our environment. Our visual system is the only source of light detection and light signaling in our bodies. This makes our visual system essential for detecting movement, distance, time of day, and seasonal changes in the length of days within our environment. The visual systems of most animals are designed to capture photons of visible light and convert that energy into a neurological signal (visual signal) to be transmitted to brain regions responsible for visual perception1 . This …
Alzheimer’S And Patient Caregiver Burnout: A Comprehensive Review Of The Literature, Madeline J. Hekeler
Alzheimer’S And Patient Caregiver Burnout: A Comprehensive Review Of The Literature, Madeline J. Hekeler
Senior Honors Projects, 2020-current
The term ‘silent epidemic’ has become fitting for Alzheimer’s disease, as it is now the sixth leading cause of death in the US. Caring for AD patients at home in the US costs billions of dollars each year. The current comprehensive literature review discusses the background/history of AD, pathology and modes of transmission of AD, behavioral and natural risk factors, prevention and treatment options, and how the aforementioned factors contribute to caregiver burnout and subsequently affect the AD patient. The extensive examination of the literature determined several gaps to be addressed. More specifically, burnout among AD caregivers has become an …
