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 2021 Health Sciences Research Day was held on November 19, 2021. 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.

A cost-benefit analysis of introducing and anesthesia residency elective at a private health system
(2021) Haynes, Tricia; Hulse, Jack; Haustein, David
The United States is facing a physician shortage of immense proportions in the future, with an estimated shortage of approximately 37,800-124,000 physicians by 2034.1 In an effort to increase graduate medical education opportunities, some private health systems in the US have sponsored residency elective rotations in conjunction with academic medical centers. Anesthesiology electives in a private health system are unique in that they may have an impact on the clinical productivity of the private anesthesiologists. Our goal was to explore the financial costs associated with establishing a one-month anesthesiology residency elective rotation at a private health system, as well as identify potential benefits to the academic center, residents, and the private health system.
The effect of autograft selection for ACL reconstruction on patellar height
(2021) Touhey, Daniel; Ma, Richard
The primary purpose of the current study was to evaluate patellar height changes in patients who have undergone autograft ACLR using one of three locations: (1) BPTB, (2) HT, or (3) QT. Patellar height was to be measured pre and postoperatively for comparison. Hypothesis: Patients who received BPTB autograft would display greater patellar height shortening in comparison to HT and QT autograft.
Impact of establishing a precision oncology program on cancer care delivery
(2021) Brewer, Idona
The use of molecular profiling, biomarkers, and other targetable tumor alterations is becoming a central component of modern cancer care. There are many challenges of implementing precision oncology through traditional clinical operations. The purpose of this project is to enhance patient care by establishing a new clinical program with the specific focus of advancing and expanding the utilization of precision oncology.
Rare case of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to tularemia
(2021) Bulger, Madison
"Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation that can be acquired genetically or sporadically. It is triggered by events that disrupt immune function and has a variable presentation that has a median survival of 2 months without prompt treatment. Tularemia is a highly infectious zoonotic illness caused by Francisella tularensis that most commonly results in ulcero-glandular disease. We have been unable to find previously documented cases of HLH secondary to tularemia."--Introduction.
