Researchers are developing methods to evaluate health care quality and effectiveness using health informatics data sets. Standardized taxonomies such as the Omaha System are being used in computerized documentation systems to generate data on client assessments and health care services. Questions such as prevalence of client problems, care utilization, differential intervention effectiveness, and problem-specific client outcomes can be investigated. Approaches for analyzing Omaha System data are emerging in the literature and in practice settings, and will be described in this poster.

Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) is a common adverse effect of antineoplastic drugs, often leading to dose reduction, treatment delays, or cessation of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy agents, like paclitaxel (PTX), damage the somatosensory nervous system by inducing neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in the sensitization of sensory neurons. Quercetin (QCT), known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties, is investigated for various neurological disorders.

Microbial infections are a pressing global health issue, exacerbated by the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria due to widespread antibiotic overuse. This resistance diminishes the effectiveness of current treatments, intensifying the need for new antimicrobial agents and innovative drug delivery strategies. Nanotechnology presents promising solutions, leveraging the unique properties of nanomaterials such as tunable optical and electronic characteristics, nanoscale size, and high surface-to-volume ratios.

SARS-CoV-2 targets angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), a key peptidase of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which regulates the balance of the vasoconstrictor/inflammatory peptide Ang II and the vasodilator/anti-inflammatory peptide Ang-(1-7). Few studies have quantified the circulating elements of the RAS longitudinally in SARS-CoV-2 infection and their association with COVID-19 outcomes. Thus, we evaluated the association of circulating RAS enzymes and peptides with mortality among patients with COVID-19.

Methamphetamine is a widely abused drug associated with significant neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, mainly through the activation of glial cells and neurons in the central nervous system. This study investigates the role of the astrocyte-specific NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 6 (NLRP6) inflammasome in methamphetamine-induced astrocytic pyroptosis and neuroinflammation. Our findings demonstrate that methamphetamine exposure induces NLRP6-dependent pyroptosis, astrocyte activation, and the release of proinflammatory cytokines in mouse primary astrocytes.
