Ongoing Study Of The Association Of Apoe Gene Polymorphisms With Cognitive Impairment In The Rio Grande Valley Hispanic Population, Jaime Miguel L. Saveron, Daniela Gamez, Chun Xu
Research Symposium
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, exhibits a significant genetic component. In addition, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a key risk factor for AD. While certain demographic factors and genetic variants associated with AD and cognitive impairment have been identified in non-Hispanic populations, limited research exists on this subject within the Hispanic population, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the APOE gene, specifically its ε4 allele, and cognitive impairment in the Hispanic population of the Rio Grande Valley.
Methods: A total of 269 Hispanic subjects, aged 60 and above, with …
A Covid-19-Inspired Comprehensive Approach To Resident Wellness And 360-Degree Approach To Pandemic Preparedness And Disinfection Practices, Preet Gudimella, Unnam Nasir, Heidi Pareja
A Covid-19-Inspired Comprehensive Approach To Resident Wellness And 360-Degree Approach To Pandemic Preparedness And Disinfection Practices, Preet Gudimella, Unnam Nasir, Heidi Pareja
Research Colloquium
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak that had led to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused stress for medical residents on the frontline. This motivated our team to implement changes in our residency program’s inpatient service. We approached resident wellness in a comprehensive manner. The changes we implemented at our site had crucial benefits for our inpatient teams. Not only did we implement conventional best practices on infection prevention, we also executed additional safety measures, addressed mental and physical health, and had COVID-19-specific skills training. Consequently, our residents were less stressed, better prepared, and more focused …
Illness Trajectory From Prodromal Symptoms To Incident Bipolar Disorder And Schizophrenia, Manuel A. Gardea Resendez, Javier Ortiz-Orendain, Brandon J. Coombes, Aysegul Ozerdem, Monica J. Taylor-Desir, Balwinder Singh, Alastair J. Mckean, Mark Frye
Illness Trajectory From Prodromal Symptoms To Incident Bipolar Disorder And Schizophrenia, Manuel A. Gardea Resendez, Javier Ortiz-Orendain, Brandon J. Coombes, Aysegul Ozerdem, Monica J. Taylor-Desir, Balwinder Singh, Alastair J. Mckean, Mark Frye
Research Symposium
Background: The concept of prodrome is highly variable but, when applied retrospectively in cohorts who progress to meet diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ), it can contribute to clarify early origins and trajectory of the illness. In the context of race and ethnicity, studies with population-based and registry-based cohorts, such as the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP), can potentially identify, through retrospective assessment of the prodromes of BD and SZ, differences while addressing the heterogeneous nature of the illness.
Objective: We aim to describe and compare the illness trajectories of individuals with BD or SZ prior to the …
The Eyes Beyond The Screen: Digital Media Policy And Child Health, Yahia Al-Qudah
The Eyes Beyond The Screen: Digital Media Policy And Child Health, Yahia Al-Qudah
Research Symposium
Background: Modern communication technology and digital media have provided society with a foundation for instant messaging. Pictures, videos, and texts connect individuals with families, friends, and the world. Consequently, digital media has accelerated exposure to risk in which children and adolescents are most vulnerable. This project’s objective is to 1) congregate and highlight current knowledge about the impact of digital media on child health, and 2) underline deficiencies in related laws and regulations as well as offer solutions in digital media policy.
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted through the JAMA Pediatrics database with keywords such as “digital media,” …
Residential Treatment Of Substance Use Disorder And Related Comorbidities In Older Adults, Dale J. Dyben
Residential Treatment Of Substance Use Disorder And Related Comorbidities In Older Adults, Dale J. Dyben
Research Symposium
Purpose: Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are a leading contributor to health problems and premature mortality in the United States. Stigma and misconceptions about persons with SUD contribute to negative outcomes. The misconception that older adults do not suffer from severe SUD has contributed to a paucity of treatment options that meet the unique needs this population.
Description: The Center for Older Adult Recovery (COAR) at Hanley Center in West Palm Beach, Florida provides a model for residential treatment of older 65 and older with severe SUD and related medical and mental health comorbidities. Older adults who meet DSM-V diagnostic …
