Human Milk Feeding And Its Impact On The Incidence Of Necrotizing Enterocolitis, Maya C. Kern
Human Milk Feeding And Its Impact On The Incidence Of Necrotizing Enterocolitis, Maya C. Kern
Nursing | Senior Theses
One of the leading causes of morbidity and death for preterm and very low birth weight (VLBW) newborns is still necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Existing literature consistently shows that the bioactive, anti-inflammatory, and microbiome-supporting components of human breast milk, including donor human milk, significantly lower the incidence of NEC. However, a lot of infants are forced to rely on formula and nutrient fortifiers because they cannot obtain maternal or donor milk. A critical gap persists regarding whether human milk derived fortifiers offer greater NEC protection than bovine derived fortifiers in infants who must receive formula. This thesis examines three interconnected themes; …
Comparing Human Milk-Derived Vs Bovine-Derived Fortifiers In Formula-Fed Preterm Infants On The Incidence Of Necrotizing Enterocolitis, Maya C. Kern
Nursing | Student Research Posters
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the leading causes of death in infants < 32 weeks gestation and/or < 1500g. Human breast milk lowers NEC rates through immunologic, microbial, and gut-protective mechanisms. When maternal or donor milk is unavailable, infants require formula with fortification but the safest type of fortifiers remains unclear. Bovine-derived fortifiers may increase gut inflammation; human milk-derived fortifiers may offer more protection. Limited research exists comparing these fortifiers when infants are exclusively formula fed. Determining if human milk-derived fortifiers still reduce NEC risk could influence NICU feeding guidelines and improve outcomes.
Health And Lifestyle Behavioral Changes To Prevent Myocardial Infarction (Mi): Mixed Methods Approach To Understand Secondary Mi Prevention, Naila Idreesa Saghir
Health And Lifestyle Behavioral Changes To Prevent Myocardial Infarction (Mi): Mixed Methods Approach To Understand Secondary Mi Prevention, Naila Idreesa Saghir
Global Public Health | Senior Theses
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death globally and about 200,000 individuals experience their second myocardial infarction yearly. There is a lack of understanding about how lifestyle and behavioral changes can prevent secondary myocardial infarction a year in the United States. The objective of this study is to use a mixed methods approach to understand how individuals who have made lifestyle behavioral changes to prevent their secondary myocardial infarction. Surveys and interviews consisted of questions about the participants' health behaviors and health history. Demographics, background information, and lifestyle behavioral changes were measured using Qualtrics. Valid and reliable tools such …
Prophylaxis Of Food Allergen Sensitivity, Dustin Gottfeld
Prophylaxis Of Food Allergen Sensitivity, Dustin Gottfeld
Physician Assistant Studies | Student Authored Articles
Food allergies can have a severe and drastic effect on a person’s lifestyle, while prevention of allergic disease can help to ensure others do not have to live with this burden. There are a variety of differing hypotheses that offer explanations for the early development of food allergies, particularly peanut allergies. Two of the foremost hypotheses are the Hygiene Hypothesis and the Dual-Allergen Hypothesis. The Hygiene Hypothesis claims that the diversity of a child’s microbiota creates a beneficial balance of microorganisms which can help prevent the development of allergic disease. Alternatively, the Dual-Allergen Hypothesis states that early environmental exposure to …

The Effects Of Various Therapeutics On Cystine Stone Formation, See Yang
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by the defect of a renal transporter involved in cystine reabsorption. When this transporter is deficient, cystine cannot be broken down and reabsorbed by the body and is excreted via urine in high concentrations. The high levels of cystine present in the urine eventually lead to recurrent cystine urolithiasis due to its inability to solubilize. Despite having various forms of treatments such as thiol pharmaceutical therapies such as tiopronin and urine alkalinizing agents like potassium citrate, only few patients with cystinuria are able to successfully decrease cystine urine concentration. We observed the …
