Lucinda Lombaard - “Ketamine: The 18th Molecule That Changed History” (session 14) In this research project I will be exploring the compound ketamine as the 18th molecule that changed history. I will be exploring the history of how ketamine came to be, as well as its modern day uses. I will also be exploring the future possibilities of ketamine usage and how it could bring change to society. Chapter 13 of “Napoleon's buttons” inspired me to do research on a compound that I believe plays an important role in history, science and humanity. Thus will this paper cover the main areas of interest that are parallel to what was covered and discussed in the HN290 class. Brandee Mannering - “Bedrest as an Intervention to Decrease Risk of Preterm Labor or Birth in Women with High Risk Pregnancies” (session 9) Many women in high risk pregnancies are placed on bed rest in an attempt to decrease uterine activity to prevent preterm labor/birth. The idea of bed rest is to reduce uterine activity and/or stabilize a condition or complication in order to continue a healthy pregnancy. The presentation describes the lack of evidence to show the benefit of bed rest to decrease uterine activity and prevent preterm labor. The educational module also provides information regarding the evidence of issues bed rest may cause due to isolation and immobility, such as the development of venous thromboembolism or mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being effects, and increased Mass shootings have gained attention lately as this form of gun violence appears to increase. As mass shootings constantly appear in school, grocery stores, and other institutions, Americans are living in fear. A Mass shooting is defined as a minimum of three or four victims of gun violence in a short period of time. For many people mental health is already a crisis, the ongoing voice of violence damages the sense of well-being and safety (Abrams, 2022). Do mass shootings have an effect on people‘s mental health, even if they were an indirect victim? Does this fear keep people from going to the store or taking their kids to school? The purpose of the study is to examine how mass shootings impact our daily life decisions. By researching literature and surveying students from Missouri Valley College my hypothesis is that many indirect victims suffer with anxiety related to mass shootings and this has an impact on how they make daily life decisions. risk for gestational diabetes related to decreased physical activity. Shakyra McDuffie - “Mass Shooting Causing Anxiety” (session 12) What is the value of an internship, particularly focussing on the Accounting/Finance industry, and how does that have an impact on the future careers of these young protégés within the sector. Today I will look at the way in which internships not only help prepare students with hands-on experience, but the financial benefits in which they receive due to their increased knowledge and experience within the respective field. Addie Mejia - “Toxoplasmosis” (poster session) Toxoplasmosis is caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. The zoonotic disease is spread to humans most commonly through domestic cats. It’s estimated to infect over 2 billion people across the world. While those infected are usually asymptomatic, those who are symptomatic present flu-like symptoms. Those at high risk for developing severe toxoplasmosis are people who are immunocompromised or pregnant. Treatment of the disease includes medication, Keywords: mass shootings, mental health, anxiety, daily life decisions. Jamie McGinnes - “Internships in the Finance Industry” (session 1)
