Digitalizing Art: Transforming Marketing Efforts
This research is part of a semester-long project where the undergraduate Business students from Molloy College pitch their business and marketing recommendations to a local non-profit. The theme emerges from a pedagogical philosophy that it is essential to learn the significance that business has upon society while working with a neighborhood non-profit. For example, having students enter into the business world where profit is a healthy by-product and is not the main focus toward today’s career development is critical in developing tomorrow’s ethical and social leaders. The learning activity leading to this learning outcome requires the undergraduate business students to experience this type of real-world project. The students are presented with an opportunity to study the most prevalent issues their assigned non-profit is facing and they are to collectively make a set of solution-driven recommendations that will ultimately lead to social good
Long-term survivors of heart transplantation: the Hartford Hospital experience.
Heart transplantation has been a clinical program at Hartford Hospital for the past 15 years, resulting in 206 transplants. The five-year survival rate is 69% and is 43% at 10 years. The first recipient is surviving and has had full rehabilitation. Thirteen patients have survived 10 years or more. Advances in immunosuppression are ongoing and will result in further long-term survivors. Graft vasculopathy and lack of organ donation are current problems
Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula: spontaneous rupture and cardiac tamponade.
Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula is an unusual, but not rare, coronary anomaly. Management of asymptomatic fistulas is controversial because of great variability in natural history. We describe an 82-year-old female patient with spontaneous rupture of a previously undetected left main coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery coronary arteriovenous fistula, with resulting hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade. Emergent surgical exploration and repair provided successful treatment
