Effectiveness of a vaccination education module for college freshmen.

To evaluate the effectiveness of a vaccination education module to improve vaccine expectations and behaviors among college freshmen. The participants were 177 college freshmen at one private Utah university. Participants were eligible for this study if admitted as new freshmen during the 2019-2020 school year.

Extending "Helping Babies Breathe" to an Academic Setting in Fiji: A Project Involving American Nursing Faculty and Graduate and Undergraduate Nursing Students.

Approximately 2.5 million neonates died worldwide in 2018. Over one quarter of neonatal deaths are caused by birth asphyxia.

Who is the Teacher and Who is the Student? The Dual Service- and Engaged-Learning Pedagogical Model of Anatomy Academy.

Anatomy Academy is a simultaneous service-learning experience for preprofessional school undergraduate students and preclinical professional students acting as classroom paraprofessional teachers (Mentors), and engaged-learning experience for fourth to sixth grade elementary school children (Students). Using didactic and kinesthetic active learning teaching strategies in small-group classroom environments, Mentors taught anatomy, physiology, and nutrition concepts to Students. In this study of the program's early years (2012-2014), overall objectives of improving Mentors' pedagogical confidence; and Students' science interest, science knowledge, and exercise self-efficacy were assessed.

Psychometric testing of the healthy eating and physical activity self-efficacy questionnaire and the healthy eating and physical activity behavior recall questionnaire for children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the psychometric properties for two related questionnaires: the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (HEPASEQ-C) and the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Behavior Recall Questionnaire for Children (HEPABRQ-C).

Design And Methods: HEPASEQ-C and HEPABRQ-C were administered to 517 participating children with 492 completing. Data were analyzed to evaluate for reliability and validity of the questionnaires.

Consulting with children in the development of self-efficacy and recall tools related to nutrition and physical activity.

Purpose: This article chronicles our efforts to develop an instrument with and for children-complete with insights, multiple iterations, and missteps along the way. The instruments we developed assess children's self-efficacy and recall related to healthy eating and physical activity.

Design And Methods: Five focus groups were held with 39 children to discuss the evolving instrument.

MR imaging of pulmonary embolism: diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced 3D MR pulmonary angiography, contrast-enhanced low-flip angle 3D GRE, and nonenhanced free-induction FISP sequences.

Purpose: To evaluate relative detection of pulmonary embolism (PE) with standard bolus-triggered contrast-enhanced breath-hold magnetic resonance (MR) pulmonary angiography, contrast-enhanced recirculation-phase breath-hold low-flip angle three-dimensional (3D) gradient-echo (GRE), and nonenhanced free-induction cardiac- and respiratory-triggered true fast imaging with steady-state precession (FISP) MR sequences.

Materials And Methods: The study was HIPAA compliant and institutional review board approved. Twenty-two patients with a computed tomographic (CT) angiography diagnosis of PE underwent MR imaging within 48 hours of CT.

Optimization of single injection liver arterial phase gadolinium enhanced MRI using bolus track real-time imaging.

Purpose: To measure contrast agent enhancement kinetics in the liver and to further evaluate and develop an optimized gadolinium enhanced MRI using a single injection real-time bolus-tracking method for reproducible imaging of the transient arterial-phase.

Materials And Methods: A total of 18 subjects with hypervascular liver lesions were imaged with four dimensional (4D) perfusion scans to measure time-to-peak (TTP) delays of arterial (aorta-celiac axis), liver parenchyma, liver lesion, portal, and hepatic veins. Time delays were calculated from the TTP-aorta signal, and then related to the gradient echo (GRE) k-space acquisition design, to determine optimized timing for real-time bolus-track triggering methodology.

Decreased incidence of NSF in patients on dialysis after changing gadolinium contrast-enhanced MRI protocols.

Purpose: To retrospectively determine the incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients on dialysis administered either a lower dose high-relaxivity linear gadolinium-chelate, gadobenate dimeglumine (MultiHance, MH), compared to a standard dose linear gadolinium chelate, gadodiamide (Omniscan, OM).

Materials And Methods: This study was Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant and Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved. As per institution standardized contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols, patients on dialysis were imaged using either MH, between 2/2007 to 9/2008, or OM between 10/2003 and 1/2007.
