Indoor Cat

I started this illuminated mural ( Indoor Cat ) in my living room on March 21, 2020, with the caption, When I paint, I don\u27t worry. I completed the painting in nine days. Little did I know that my giant cat and golden sunshine would become my backdrop for dozens of virtual meetings extending beyond the year that followed

Triage and Ongoing Care for Critically Ill Patients in the Emergency Department: Results from a National Survey of Emergency Physicians

Introduction: We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to elicit emergency physician (EP) perceptions regarding intensive care unit (ICU) triage decisions and ongoing management for boarding of ICU patients in the emergency department (ED). We assessed factors influencing the disposition decision for critically ill patients in the ED to characterize EPs’ perceptions about ongoing critical care delivery in the ED while awaiting ICU admission.Methods: Through content expert review and pilot testing, we iteratively developed a 25-item written survey targeted to EPs, eliciting current ICU triage structure, opinions on factors influencing ICU admission decisions, and views on caring for critically ill patients “boarding” in the ED for >4-6 hours.Results: We approached 732 EPs at a large, national emergency medicine conference, achieving 93.6% response and completion rate, with 54% academic and 46% community participants. One-fifth reported having formal ICU admission criteria, although only 36.6% reported adherence. Common factors influencing EPs’ ICU triage decisions were illness severity (91.1%), ICU interventions needed (87.6%), and diagnosis (68.2%), while ICU bed availability (13.5%) and presence of other critically ill patients in ED (10.2%) were less or not important. While 72.1% reported frequently caring for ICU boarders, respondents identified high patient volume (61.3%) and inadequate support staffing (48.6%) as the most common challenges in caring for boarding ICU patients.Conclusion: Patient factors (eg, diagnosis, illness severity) were seen as more important than system factors (eg, bed availability) in triaging ED patients to the ICU. Boarding ICU patients is a common challenge for more than two-thirds of EPs, exacerbated by ED volume and staffing constraints

Engagement and Disengagement in Art Interventions with Memory Impairment

Introduction. Studies have shown art intervention to be an effective therapy for patients with memory impairments, leading to overall positive behaviors, increased quality of life and decreased caregiver burden. We conducted a preliminary study to evaluate and compare the effect of participation in weekly art appreciation and painting sessions on the behavior of memory impaired residents in an assisted living facility. Methods. Residents’ behaviors were observed during art appreciation and active painting sessions over a six-week period. Each session consisted of either viewing and discussing artwork or actively painting in the style of the artist discussed. Positive and negative behaviors were recorded and tallied throughout the sessions. Over the course of 12 sessions, the 7 observers made a total of 1957 observations of a variable patient population. The total number of both positive and negative behaviors was compared between activities, over time within sessions, as well as over the six weeks. Each session was percent normalized to the time interval with the highest occurrence of select behaviors. Results. Upward trends for positive and negative behaviors were noticed in ap- preciation and painting sessions respectively. The negative to positive engagements ratios for each painting session showed an increase in negative behaviors. Disengagement increased as the appreciation sessions progressed and decreased as painting sessions progressed. Overall, positive engagement increased in both appreciation and painting sessions. Conclusions. Despite several confounding variables encountered in this study, we demonstrated art appreciation and active painting to be a viable non- pharmacological therapeutic approach for individuals with memory impairments.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/comphp_gallery/1258/thumbnail.jp

Assimilating Suffering: The Banality of Non-Citizen Subjects in Dramatic Texts and Performance

Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Research ScholarshipThis thesis developed from my own experience of performing an undocumented domestic worker, Ana, in the play Living Out by Lisa Loomer as part of the Ohio State University Department of Theatre’s Fall 2011 season. This thesis investigates the productive forces at work behind the re-presentation of non-citizen subjects as constructed by the U.S. mainstream institution of theatre, specifically the popular immigrant narrative of the "search for the American Dream”. Such re-presentations have a propensity to neutralize, and thereby, assimilate the non-citizen subject’s suffering on stage as performed by the actor for the consumption of the American citizen-spectator. In this project, I examine the methods by which the U.S. mainstream institution of theatre utilizes nationalist and affective markers (such as the American Dream and, in the case of Living Out, the supposed shared humanity of mothering and work between an affluent white mother and her undocumented caregiver) to provide the American citizen-spectator with commonplace, recognizable imagery. This imagery works as a signifying function that is implicitly indebted to the organization of laboring bodies implicated by race, class, gender, and citizenship. My analysis is theoretically situated within textual analysis, theatrical critique, and autoethnography. The first section employs cultural, performance, and political theory to examine the textual production of the ideology of the American Dream and multiculturalism in the play Living Out. I then utilize autoethnography in the second section to interrogate my own staged performance of the undocumented domestic working experience and the ways that my acting body disavows the affective experiences of undocumented domestic workers existing in the U.S. The concluding section illuminates the methods by which non-traditional Latina/o and “third-world” theatre producers have resisted the onerous influence of the U.S. mainstream institution of theatre on Latina/o re-presentation. With this thesis I hope to contribute to the fields of border, ethnic, and theatre and performance studies as well as expand transnational/migration discourses on the cultural production of the narratives of noncitizen subjects.No embarg

Multidisciplinary study of chemical and biological factors related to lead accumulation in sorghum crops grown in contaminated soils and their toxicological implications

In this study, the content of Pb, the physico-chemical and biological parameters in soils, and the metal transfer to vegetative and reproductive Sorghum bicolor plants were evaluated along with their relationship with the toxicological risk of crop consumption. To carry this out, soil and sorghum samples at different growth stages were collected near to a former battery recycling plant. The results showed that the concentrations of Pb in soils at several sites were above the maximum permissible levels. Metal bioavailability was not directly related to the pH, OM% or EC, while no association between metals and the different genera of fungi was observed. Sorghum crops accumulated Pb mainly in the roots in all of the growth stages, and therefore presented low levels of Pb in aerial parts without toxicological risk due to direct consumption. Taken together, our results revealed that sorghum could be employed as a potential phytostabilizator of lead in soils associated with crop production. However, further studies are necessary to extend these findings.Fil: Blanco, Andrés. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. Centro Científico Tecnológico Conicet - Córdoba.
