| Design in Unexpected Places: Playing With Doctors |
Just looking around within emergency
medicine, it is obvious that
nearly every tool was designed
for a different environment within
the hospital, but for lack of
better alternatives, the emergency
physicians and nurses
have had to adapt these tools
for the chaotic, uncontrolled
rapid-pace environment of the
health crisis. Read more ...

MARCH 2013:
First year resident, Peter B. Toth, published an article entitled "Patient-Ventilator Asynchrony in a Traumatically Injured Population" in Respiratory Care.
This article carefully explores asynchrony in the mechanically ventilated trauma patient. The authors show that while it is a common occurrence, asynchrony appeared not to be associated with increased ventilator days, length of stay or mortality. Epidemiological studies such as this are extremely important in understanding the potential risks associated with care, and triggers for these risks.
The Society for Clinical Trials has named Emergency Medicine's RAMPART study the 2012 Trial of the Year.
The RAMPART study (Rapid Anticonvulsant Medications Prior to Arrival Trial) awarded the 2012 Trial of the Year. Notification of this award was published in the March 25th edition of The Dean's List.
Dr. Blomkalns, published "CD14 Directs Adventitial Macrophage Precursor Recruitment: Role in Early Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation" in the Journal of the American Heart Association
This manuscript is a great example of translational research, exploring the mechanistic basis of AAA formation in a mouse model and supplementing this with demonstrating consistent relationships in human subjects.
CSA Fellow, Nathan Robbins, published a review article in Translational Research
The study, titled "Targeting TRPV1 and TRPV2 for potential therapeutic interventions in cardiovascular disease," sought to understand the barriers that Haitians’ experience with health care in the United States in order to better understand and capitalize on existing community assets. Without understanding the cultural, emotional and social factors that affect health seeking behavior and likelihood of accepting care and following up with care when needed, then the health system cannot respond to the needs of those most at risk for poor outcomes. This work is extremely important in improving the health of our nation’s underserved and immigrant communities.
FEBRUARY 2013:
Lindsay Bohanske co-authored an article entitled "Health Beliefs, Attitudes and Service Utilization among Haitians," in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved.
The study sought to understand the barriers that Haitians’ experience with health care in the United States in order to better understand and capitalize on existing community assets. Without understanding the cultural, emotional and social factors that affect health seeking behavior and likelihood of accepting care and following up with care when needed, then the health system cannot respond to the needs of those most at risk for poor outcomes. This work is extremely important in improving the health of our nation’s underserved and immigrant communities.
The CLEAR-ER Stroke Trial featured in UC E-Currents
The CLEAR-ER Stroke Trial (Combination Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Is Safe and Warrants Larger Study) sought to understand the barriers that Haitians’ experience with health care in the United States in order to better understand and capitalize on existing community assets. Without understanding the cultural, emotional and social factors that affect health seeking behavior and likelihood of accepting care and following up with care when needed, then the health system cannot respond to the needs of those most at risk for poor outcomes. This work is extremely important in improving the health of our nation’s underserved and immigrant communities.
Dr. Ope Adeyoe receives funding for his grant titled "Metalloproteins in stroke diagnosis"
This project is truly interdisciplinary and translational, and has been awarded funding from the CCTST's T1 pilot grant mechanism. Ope is working with colleagues in chemistry to measure levels of metalloproteins in stroke cases and controls to see if they are possible biomarkers of stroke. They will use these data to support future funding for improving stroke diagnosis.
