Transforming health through Precision Medicine: Content analysis of U.S. guidelines related to genetic counseling and testing
Nicole Jackson, Deborah Himes, BYU College of Nursing My mentor and I conducted a descriptive, mixed-methods study involved content analysis of U.S. Guidelines as they relate to Precision Medicine. We were able to identify the prevalence of Precision Medicine healthcare guidelines through the completion of this project. In working with my mentor, I was able to […]
Testing the Psychometric Properties of Positive Psychology Measures
Olivia Hansen and Jared Warren, Psychology Introduction Positive psychology is the rigorous and empirical study of well-being, human strengths, and human flourishing, and the experiences, traits, and institutions that lead to those aims. It began as a rigorous subdomain of psychology in the late 1990’s. Up until this point, the field of psychology had focused […]
Biofilm Testing on Antimicrobial Coating for Endotracheal Tubing
Tania Nance and Dr. Paul Savage, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction About 50 million patients worldwide are intubated annually with endotracheal tubing to open the airway, to deliver oxygen, medicine or anesthesia, to support breathing, to remove blockages from the airway and to protect the lungs from aspiration. Along with their medical uses, they […]
An Investigation on the Neural Correlates of Testing Encoding and False Memories
Seth Spencer and Brock Kirwan, Department of Psychology Introduction Memory is an essential component for day to day living. Recognition memory in the brain has been associated with specific neural structures such as the medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the hippocampus and the adjacent MTL cortex [1]. The hippocampus is known for its ability to […]
Charge-Steering CMOS Amplifier Design and Testing Final Report
Nathan Whitehead and Shiuhhua Wood Chiang, Electrical & Computer Engineering Project Overview The goal of this research was to demonstrate that the complementary and 4-stage amplifiers can achieve superior gain or speed over the 2-stage charge-steering amplifier in [1], and the conventional differential amplifier introduced in the ORCA grant proposal. The completion of this project has […]
Communication Patterns, Spousal Influence, Relationship Quality, and Genetic Testing in Regards to Colorectal Cancer Prevention
Kaitlynn Wright and Wendy C. Birmingham, Department of Psychology Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer types in the United States. Having CRC in one’s family history is one of the strongest risk factors for this cancer, suggesting a genetic influence in developing CRC. While this cancer can be deadly, many […]
Multimodal Testing of Neural Interhemispheric Transfer after Concussion: A Cutting-Edge Mentored Experience
Michael Larson, Psychology Overview Mild traumatic brain injury, also known as concussion, is a public health concern that is receiving considerable attention in the media and scientific literature. Individuals who experience long-term deficits after concussion show cognitive and emotional dysfunction that can persist or worsen for several years post injury. These deficits can be associated […]
Experimental Testing of a Carbon Nanotube Lance Array for Nanoinjections
Dallin Lindstrom and Brian Jensen, Mechanical Engineering Introduction A silicon nanoinjection lance array has previously been developed to deliver charged propidium iodide (PI) molecules into tens of thousands of HeLa culture cells simultaneously. DNA is also charged, so applying a voltage to the lance array attracts DNA molecules to the lances. The voltage can be […]
Testing the Effect of Antioxidants on the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease through the RAGE/NF-kB Inflammatory Pathway
Harrison Snyder and Jonathan Wisco, Physiology and Developmental Biology The Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) is known to have a role in inflammatory processes. When produced in excess it induces oxidative stress by activating a number of ligand enzymes, resulting in the generation of excessive cytosolic reactive oxidant species. This oxidative stress then stimulates […]
