Item Intimate partner violence during pregnancy among young women in low-and middle income countries : literature review(2016) Udmuangpia, Tipparat; Bloom, Tina; Health Sciences Research Day (2016 : University of Missouri)Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) during pregnancy among young women is a hidden issue in low-and middle income countries. The strength of this intersection has been inconsistent across studies. The purpose of this review was to better understand this intersection.Item Offender outcomes of training dogs in prison : the Puppies for Parole program(2016) Megarani, Dorothea V.; Johnson, Rebecca A.; Lombardi, George; Osterlind, Steven; Yaglom, Hayley D.; Haarman, Nicole L.; Cade, Elliot; Health Sciences Research Day (2016 : University of Missouri)"Puppies for Parole" is a rehabilitation program based on human-animal interaction (HAI) in the prison. Puppies for Parole aims to reduce the number of homeless canines by producing loving, obedient, and adoptable dogs. Inmates may gain skills to support successful rehabilitation and community reentry.Item A perfect storm : polycystic ovary syndrome masking underlying yype 1 Von Willebrand disease(2016) Scheitler, Kristen M.; Hossain, A. Mosharraf; Hammer, Richard D.; Coberly, Emily; Health Sciences Research Day (2016 : University of Missouri)Von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding diathesis worldwide and results in defects in von Willebrand Factor (vWF), inducing a hypocoagulable state. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic inflammation and hyperestrogenism, both of which induce acute phase reactions and increase serum levels of vWF and Factor VIII, yielding a prothrombotic state. These laboratory elevations may obscure the diagnosis of underlying vWD in patients with both conditions. We report a case of a 23 year-old female with PCOS and menorrhagia who presented prior to a surgical procedure for evaluation of bleeding risk.Item Social connectedness, physical activity, and sleep quality in Thai older adults(2016) Promnoi, Chantra; Phillips, Lorraine J.; Health Sciences Research Day (2016 : University of Missouri)This study explored relationships among social connectedness, physical activity, and sleep quality in community-dwelling Thai older adults.Item Associations between comorbid disease outcomes among patients with depression in a student run free clinic(2016) Brockmeyer, Jennifer; Cummings, John; Brandt, Kimberly; Duncan, Julie; Hayden, Gabrielle; Roderick, Margaret; Striegel, Sarah; Health Sciences Research Day (2016 : University of Missouri)Background: Research demonstrates a correlation between diagnosed depression and increased markers of chronic medical illness, including poorer glycemic control, increased risk for cardiovascular events, and obesity. Moreover, medically underserved patient populations are especially at high risk for poor health outcomes due to chronic illness, which has profound implications for both individual patients as well as the healthcare system. However, very little research has been done on chronic health outcomes among underserved mental health patients treated in integrated behavioral health/primary medical care settings. MedZou, a student-run, free medical clinic provides integrated health care services to uninsured, low-income adults in Mid-Missouri, and provides a potentially ideal setting for this research. We wanted to compare health outcomes between patients identified with depression and those without depression that were treated at MedZou.
