Introduction

• Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the US.

• PDA is resistant to conventional chemotherapy; however, mechanisms that contribute to this chemoresistance are not well-described.

• The tumor microenvironment in PDA has a dense stromal reaction, which is thought to result in low oxygen and low nutrient conditions (Feig, C., et al. 2012).

• Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) has been identified as an enzyme that plays an important role in chemoresistance in PDA (Zarei, M., et al. In progress).

• We sought to establish an IDH1 knockout cell line to further …

Driving Simulators – More Than A Video Game!, William D. Mcquilken B.A., Judith M. Schultz B.A.

Department of Surgery

Background: This study aimed to investigate teenager, young adult, and adult knowledge levels on distracted and impaired driving through the use of educational driving simulators. The distracted and impaired driving simulators were customized to instruct participants on the dangers of driving distracted or impaired utilizing consequence videos. The simulators were taken to high schools, colleges/universities, and businesses over a four year period where we hypothesized that they would play a significant role in raising knowledge about the dangers and penalties of these risky driving behaviors and would also help to increase seat belt usage.

Setting: High schools, colleges / universities, …

Department of Emergency Medicine

Background: There is currently no gold standard for delivery of systems-based practice in medical education, and it is challenging to incorporate into medical education. Health systems competence requires physicians to understand patient care within the broader health care system and is vital to improving the quality of care clinicians provide. We describe a health systems curriculum that utilizes problem-based learning across 4 years of systems-based practice medical education at a single institution.

Methods: This case study describes the application of a problem-based learning approach to system-based practice medical education. A series of behavioral statements, called entrustable professional activities, was created …
