The Structure of Male Tail Sensory Cilia and CEM Cilia in the Absence of tbb-4 in the Model C. elegans
No full textThis presentation was originally presented at NCUR and another Scientific Conference. Abstract: Cilia are cellular cytoplasmic extensions made up of a microtubule based axoneme. The axoneme is composed of a ring of microtubules in either a 9+0 formation for stationary cilia or 9+2 for motile cilia. C. elegans has 60 ciliated sensory neurons and 16 genes that encode for tubulins. To understand the structure of cilia we are using tubulin mutations and tubulin fluorescent protein reporters. Our results show that one of the nine alpha-tubulin proteins, TBA-6, is exclusively expressed in ray neurons. TBA-6 is found in the dendrites at the end of the cilia. The beta-tubulin, TBB-4 has a sequence motif located in the ciliary beta-tubulins. Currently we are investigating the role of TBB-4 using the localization of TBA-6

Boosting Breast Cancer Immunotherapy: Microparticulate Approach with Synergistic Adjuvants
No full textBreast cancer is a common malignancy impacting women. A breast cancer vaccine has the potential to provide a non-invasive immunotherapeutic approach to cancer treatment. The proposed research explores the immune pathways activated by a spray-dried microparticulate breast cancer vaccine with dual adjuvants. This presentation provides data from T Cell Quantification and ELISA tests at varying concentrations of POLY:IC and IFA using dendritic cells (DC2.4) and T cells (EL4.IL2). This presentation was originally presented at the 2024 ASHP Midyear Meeting to other pharmacy students and professionals
Children should have their voices heard and represented in child custody cases
No full textHow should children have their voices heard and represented in court? Some scholars have argued for an increase in direct testimony. Yet, with the emotional anxiety and stress that often ensues from this, it has been discouraged by many health professionals. Therefore, more indirect means of testimony are typically seen as a better option. Some examples are through an in camera testimony, being represented by a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), or through a Law Guardian. I analyzed three cases in the early 2000s from three Upstate New York regions to see the effects these child advocates can have on the case decision and the children. I also created pamphlets of resources explaining why children’s voices matter in custody cases. These pamphlets were passed out across the community as well as to child advocates. This work has and can affect children and advocates across the Central NY region and beyond
Guarding the Black Womb: A Qualitative Case Study Exploring Improving Black Maternal Health Through Increased and Equitable Doula Support
No full textBlack maternal health is a critical topic in health care. Black women are at a disproportionately high risk of maternal death and morbidity compared to their White counterparts, highlighting the need for change in healthcare systems (Declercq & Zephyrin, 2020). Research also shows that supporting Black mothers with Black doulas can improve the mother’s birth outcomes and disrupt the racial inequities of maternal health (Horton & Hall, 2020). This qualitative case study explored the lived experiences of 11 Black women who utilized doula support and the perspectives of the doulas and program administrators. The primary objective was to evaluate the advantages of doula services, assess their accessibility, and determine if they promote equity for Black women. In order to obtain insight into the experiences of Black women associated with doula support, focus groups and interviews were conducted to examine the lived experiences of these women.
Three themes emerged from the analysis from each group. For the doulas, the themes were (a) change agents, (b) doula care, and (c) motivations for becoming a doula. For the Black mothers, the themes were (a) access to care, (b) disparities in the healthcare system, and (c) support. For program administrators, the themes were (a) resources (b) impact on communities, and (c) Medicaid.
This study highlighted doulas as a vital yet underutilized resource in addressing maternal health disparities, promoting policy reforms, and revitalizing community-based care for families of color. The findings of this study demonstrate that doulas are vital players in addressing systemic inequities in maternal healthcare. By empowering mothers, advocating for cultural competence, and reviving ancestral birthing traditions, doulas are agents of systemic change. In their doula journey, many of the doulas were inspired and motivated by their own challenging experiences. Moreover, the study\u27s findings reinforce the importance of support in understanding doula care

Psychometric Properties of the Eat Sleep Console Nurse Questionnaire
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Eat Sleep Console Nurse Questionnaire (ESCNQ). Background: Eat Sleep Console is a new approach to care for opioid-exposed infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and represents a significant change in NAS care practices for nurses. Use of a process and outcomes evaluation tool may provide insight for continuous improvement in the care of infants with NAS. The psychometric properties of the ESCNQ were analyzed in this secondary analysis. Method: In a previous project, the ESCNQ was distributed to mother-baby postpartum and neonatal intensive care nurses (n = 52). Reliability testing of the ESCNQ was conducted for this project. Results: Cronbach’s alpha showed good internal consistency for the Processes scale (α = 0.764, n = 14 items). Perception items were positively, strongly, and significantly associated (r = 0.671, P = \u3c 0.001). The full ESCNQ and other subscales did not demonstrate acceptable internal consistency. Conclusion: Following future testing and refinement, the ESCNQ may be a viable option for use in both quality improvement and research settings. Implications: Establishing a reliable tool to evaluate processes and outcomes of Eat Sleep Console practices allows healthcare teams to improve the quality of care for infants with NAS
