Evidence Based Practice Guidelines for the Pediatric Autistic Spectrum Disorder Population
Get PDFChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as caregivers, experience significant challenges in their interactions with healthcare providers in a clinical setting. This is primarily due to their issues with communication, social interaction, and sensory sensitivities to anesthetic treatment during premedication or preoperative environments. Due to these characteristics, it is important to maintain and update the current standards of care for children with ASD while utilizing evidence-guided strategies to provide a pre-operative assessment effectively. The pre-operative assessment is a critical component that renders impact throughout the surgical experience with the purpose of risk stratification, preparation of altering the normal physiology of the patient, and emergence from anesthesia. Thus, allowing the altered physiology, caused by the delivery of anesthetic medications intra-operatively, to return to normal. A lack of facility guidelines on how to tailor the anesthetic approach to this patient population leaves a potential margin of error that could endanger the expected outcome of the patient undergoing surgery and contribute to a vastly growing healthcare disparity. The purpose of this project is to examine existing contemporary literature on anesthesia preoperative care of the autistic pediatric population, with a focus on evaluating the current standards of care in place, and the utilization of new evidence-based guidelines to improve the quality of care

Protein-Protein Interaction of Perilipin-5 and Adipose Triglyceride Lipase: A Comparative Study Using Pancreatic Lipase and Colipase
No full textLipid-related disorders have become a point of focus due to the large increase of cases as time has progressed. A common factor of these disorders involves the function of a specific protein family known as the PAT family, which reside on the surface of fat droplets inside of adipose cells. Specifically, Perilipin-5 (PLIN5), a member of the PAT family, is associated with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The functioning, or lack thereof, of proteins is due to the amino acid sequencing of the proteins and how they are able to interact and dock onto each other. By comparing sequences of PLIN5 from different species, as well as proteins related to PLIN5, differences in sequences of the binding sites of the proteins can show how each protein responds to changes in the protein to which it docks to. Understanding how proteins dock and adapt to changes in each other provides the opportunity to better cater treatment for lipid related disorders
Final Scholarly Project: Optimal Perioperative Analgesic Management Guidelines for Elective Hip Arthroplasty in Adults
Get PDFHip arthroplasty, a frequently performed orthopedic surgery, is gaining popularity. However, postoperative pain, opioid utilization, nausea, and vomiting are common side effects associated with this procedure. Perioperative analgesic management for hip arthroplasty varies among providers, leading to possible inadequate pain management. The goal of this scholarly project is to provide an optimal perioperative analgesic guideline to decrease postoperative pain, opioid consumption, nausea, and vomiting in adults undergoing elective hip arthroplasty utilizing evidence-based practice. The evidence suggests that a multimodal analgesic approach incorporating multiple drug classes and types of anesthesia is most effective in reducing adverse postoperative outcomes. Using the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model\u27s process of practice, evaluation, and translation, project managers developed a plan to implement evidence-based practice guidelines over a year at an urban outpatient surgical center specializing in elective hip arthroplasties. The project\u27s metrics included a visual numerical rating scale, total morphine milliequivalents utilization, and postoperative nausea and vomiting intensity scale. Chi-square and t-tests are used for outcome analysis with a p-value of less than 0.05 considered significant
