Each year, the University of Missouri provides a forum to highlight original research and educational innovations by undergraduate, medical, nursing and health professions students, as well as predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees working with faculty in the schools of medicine, nursing, and health professions.

The 2022 Health Sciences Research Day was held on November 18, 2022. Organized and sponsored by the MU School of Medicine Research Council, Health Sciences Research Day also partners with the MU School of Medicine, MU Sinclair School of Nursing and MU School of Health Professions.

This day-long symposium—filled with poster presentations—awards prizes to the three best presentations in each of several student categories. Special Deans’ Awards recognize the most outstanding research conducted by trainees from the schools of nursing, health professions and medicine.

Undergraduate, medical, nursing and health professions students, as well as predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees working with faculty in the schools of medicine, nursing, and health professions are invited to present results of their research. No more than two posters may be presented by those listed as the first author. Holders of academic titles are not eligible to submit abstracts, except through mentoring roles.

Ovarian serous carcinoma presenting with various histological morphology metastatic to the stomach : a case series
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022) Ernest, Rebecka; Scott, Keela R.; Rao, Deepthi S.
Introduction: Ovarian serous carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of all female malignancies with a high death-to-incidence ratio. A 15-20% survival rate makes understanding the histological patterns important for improving diagnostic timing in patients with ovarian serous carcinoma. Methods: This three-person case series, diagnosed between August 2011 to August 2013, includes analysis of ovarian serous carcinoma variant type, time from diagnosis of primary ovarian serous carcinoma to detection of gastric metastasis, histological grade, and presence of lymphovascular invasion. Results: Three patients with primary ovarian serous carcinoma with metastasis to stomach were observed. All patients were Caucasian. The mean age and time of diagnosis of metastatic gastric serous carcinoma was 68.6 years and 3 months, respectively. All patients underwent salpingo-oophorectomy following diagnosis of the primary tumor. Two patients were diagnosed with metastasis to stomach at time of initial diagnosis of the primary ovarian serous carcinoma. Remarkably, everyone had different histological types of ovarian serous carcinoma: papillary with clear cell features, clear cell serous, and high-grade serous, as shown in the figure. The two cases that presented with metastatic disease at initial diagnosis had a histological grade of poorly differentiated G3 with lymphovascular invasion present. Conclusion: Gastric metastasis in patients with serous carcinoma appears to present with varying histological morphology and can present at initial time of diagnosis of the primary. Most patients show concomitant tumor spread to other organs with poor outcomes. The varying histological morphology and poor prognosis is imperative when pathologists have a high clinical suspicion for metastatic serous carcinoma.

Lessons learned compiling data from multiple clinical sources to understand differences in post-surgical shoulder pathology in diabetics and pre-diabetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022) Shearon, William J.; Leary, Emily V.; Smith, Matthew J.
"Diabetic patients suffer from shoulder joint pathologies at a rate five times higher than the non-diabetic population. Diabetes is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications. We sought to determine to what extent prediabetics experience shoulder surgery complications. We set out to review rotator cuff repair (RCR) procedures at the Missouri Orthopaedic Institute (MOI) from January 1st, 2015 through December 31st, 2020. There are significant roadblocks to studying our original research question: Delays associated with data requests. Unexpected source file formatting that required manual manipulation. Multiple patient identifiers used in different records systems. Less-than-expected completion of patient outcome questionnaires. We present the challenges associated with receiving, cross-referencing, and organizing patient data in order to prepare for data collection and analysis."--Introduction.
Development of tailored text messages to enhance medication adherence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022) Morrow, Emma Leigh; Narasri, Pawena; Matteson-Kome, Michelle L.; Bechtold, Matthew; Sherwin, LeeAnne B.
"Poor medication adherence is a public health problem. Interventions that include multiple components e.g., informational, behavioral, and social support report success in enhancing adherence. Social support delivery options have not been well studied. Mobile health technology (mHealth) is an innovative way to deliver social support focused interventions."--Introduction.
Telehealth implementation in nursing homes amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022) Winkler, Amy; Powell, Kimberly
"The COVID-19 pandemic forced nursing homes (NH) to adapt in response to the evolving crisis including rapid implementation of telehealth services. The study purpose was to investigate telehealth implementation using a human factors framework SEIPS model= System Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety Determine interactions between system components: person, technologies, environment, tasks, and organization."--Introduction.
