Vape-pens or electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are handheld battery powered devices that use a vape-liquid to produce a vapor that is inhaled by the user. The active ingredients in commercial vape-liquids are commonly nicotine, tetrahydrocannabinol or cannabidiol. A consequence of the rise in e-cigarette usage was the 2019 emergence of a vaping-induced respiratory disease denoted ‘e-cigarette or vaping use-associated lung injury’ (EVALI). One of the suspected causes of EVALI is Vitamin E Acetate (VEA), which was found to be a diluent in certain illicit tetrahydrocannabinol vape-pens, whereas nicotine is commonly diluted in equal parts propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin (PG:VG).

Evaluating The Relationship And Outcomes Of Ischemic Stroke In Patients With Covid-19 While Also Reviewing Overall Incidence And Mortality Of Stroke In Vulnerable Populations In The Us, Jaime Dougherty
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
COVID-19 has affected the worldwide population since early 2020 and has remained a health issue. Among the various symptoms and outcomes people are encountering when infected with COVID-19, this virus has also been connected to severe vascular insults involving large vessel occlusions.
Current stroke statistics indicate a nearly twice as high risk of stroke in African Americans when compared to whites. This brings into question how social determinants of health are affecting COVID-19 and stroke incidence.
The purpose of this review is to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 and ischemic stroke while advocating for a more robust primary prevention approach …

Objectives
- identify barriers to COVID 19 testing and vaccination in NJ Hispanics with limited English proficiency (LEP)
- develop resources targeted towards vaccination for Hispanic NJ residents and communities in Atlantic, Camden, and Cumberland counties
- share evidence based information regarding the COVID 19 pandemic and disease spread prevention
Conclusions
- Barriers to equitable COVID 19 care for NJ Hispanics with LEP may include but is not limited to resource availability in Spanish, misinformation about COVID 19, a lack of understanding about where and how to get tested and/or vaccinated, and transportation accessibility
- Increased efforts for providing equitable access to vaccination and testing …
