Prenatal Care, Pregnancy Risk, Birth Outcomes And The Role Of Neighborhood Characteristics, Monica Garcia-Perez Phd, Randy Huard Phd, Christopher Thoms Phd, David Tilstra Md

InnovateHER Meeting 2026

This study links 2024 CentraCare Health birth records with neighborhood census tract conditions from the National Neighborhood Data Archive (NaNDA, 2020/2021) to examine how place, prenatal care, and clinical risks influence birth outcomes in Central Minnesota. Neighborhood factors are standardized and paired with measures of prenatal-care adequacy and pregnancy-risk indicators in a series of multivariate linear models to explore their effect on birth outcomes. Analyses adjust for maternal demographics and clinical risks to identify independent neighborhood effects. A privacy-preserving, tract-linked dataset is also created to help local partners target high-need prevention areas.

Utilizing Remote Patient Monitoring With Dnp Students To Provide Pre-Natal Care, Sara Mccumber

InnovateHER Meeting 2026

This educational project introduced Nurse Practitioners to the use of RPM during pre-natal care for a patient with pre-natal hypertension. Hypertension is a risk factor in 16% of pregnancies and 5-8% of US births are impacted by hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia (CDC, 2023).

Identification and effective management of hypertension in pregnancy recently was an initiative of the Minnesota Perinatal Quality Collaborative (MPQC, 2022).

Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Antihypertensive Therapy Chosen Through Maternal Hemodynamic Profile Analysis, Margaret Weimer

Poster Presentations

In treatment of emergent hypertension, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends both oral labetalol and nifedipine, with no preference shown between the two. These medications have different mechanisms of action. Studies have suggested that consideration of hemodynamic profile may be an effective way to determine medication, but have not considered the Rule of 55, a simple calculation to predict hemodynamic profile.

Goals: 1. Determine if tailoring the antihypertensive to patient’s hemodynamic profile is associated with better control of blood pressure. 2. Determine if the Rule of 55 is an accurate method to determine hemodynamic profile.

Behavior Change In A Young Woman: The Secret Lies In The Ovarian Tumor, Matthew Moritz, Md, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Olivia L Snir, Stephanie Griffith, Md

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Autoimmune encephalitis is a rare immune-mediated disorder characterized by neuropsychiatric symptoms. Anti-NMDA receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis, the most common subtype, affects approximately 1 in 1.5 million people annually. We present a case of a young female with new-onset hallucinations, behavioral changes, and personality disturbance. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old female with remote methamphetamine use and recent trauma presented with acute mental status changes, aggression, emotional lability, and hallucinations. Vitals were normal; on exam she appeared confused, agitated, and displayed unusual behavior, including hallucinations. Initial evaluation revealed mild leukocytosis, but otherwise normal urine drug screen, chest radiograph, TSH, ANA, VDRL, heavy metal …

Breakthroughs In Cervical Cancer Screening: Hpv Self-Collection At Pmg Milwaukie Family Medicine Clinic, Brandon Bartlett, Sataj Johnson, Emily Miyasako, Rachel Gallagher, Daniel Ruegg

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background: Cervical cancer screening is a cornerstone of preventative healthcare and cancer screening in primary care. Based on data from the CDC, in the US alone, the rate of new cervical cancers each year is ~13,000, accounts for ~4,000 deaths annually, and disproportionally effects people of color and people of low SES (CDC, 2025). In our clinic (PMG Milwaukie), the rate of cervical cancer screening has remained around 70% for years, which is below the national average of ~75% (Healthy People, 2021). Primary HPV screening with self-collected swabs has been used successfully for years outside of the US, improving screening …

Does The Placenta Predict Depression During Pregnancy? Investigating Hormonal Links In High-Risk Pregnancies, Sonia Cerrillo, Hanne Hoffmann Phd

Posters - 2026

• Perinatal depression is a common disorder that affects maternal and infant well-being.

• Serotonin is an important mood-regulating neurotransmitter, and reduced serotonin signaling has been linked to depressive symptoms.

• Tryptophan (TRP) is the precursor for serotonin, where most TRP is metabolized through the kynurenine pathway.

• TPH supports serotonin synthesis, while IDO and TDO drive kynurenine production.

• During pregnancy, inflammation and stress may shift TRP away from serotonin, creating a placental “tryptophan steal.”

• We examined whether placental DNA methylation of these genes differs in high-risk pregnancies.

• We hypothesized that placental DNA methylation of genes in …

Exploring Physician Views On Birth Method And Route Of Delivery, Vivian Nguyen, Vincenzo Berghella, Md

Alpha Omega Alpha Research Symposium Posters

Purpose: In the United States, rates of cesarean deliveries (CD) have been increasing. Despite recommendations from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology to prevent increasing rates of CDs, planned CD has been associated with lower rates of perinatal deaths and better maternal outcomes when compared to planned vaginal delivery (VD). However, the data is limited, so it is important that we conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing maternal and perinatal outcomes in planned CD vs planned vaginal delivery (VD) for nulliparous, term, single, vertex pregnancies. The purpose of study is to survey obstetricians and gynecologists (ob/gyns) on their …

Integration Of Ai Resources To Enhance Obstetric And Gynecology Resident Education, Victoria Ruggiero, Cameron Stokes, Nicole Tenzel

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background: Graduate medical education faculty, while responsible for overseeing the clinical training of their residents, are additionally tasked with providing effective resident education. AI offers a potential solution to enhance development and delivery of educational topics to their trainees, while decreasing the time needed to prepare formal education resources. This study aims to evaluate resident satisfaction for different learning tools generated by AI platforms while also assess their retention of clinical content.

Methods: Three topics related to menopause were identified: (1) Menopause Physiology and Diagnosis, (2) Hormonal Therapy for Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms, and (3) Treatment of Genitourinary symptoms. Evidence-based …
