Helping Low-Income Families Manage Childhood Asthma: Solutions for Healthcare & Beyond

Asthma is the most common childhood chronic illness, affecting more than seven million children nationwide. Managing chronic illness in a child is challenging for any family. Among the challenges is constant fear of an acute episode, a complex regimen of medications given daily or many times each day, frequent changes in prescriptions or dosages, coordinating multiple healthcare providers, and helping a child have as "normal" and active a childhood as his/her condition allows. Low-income children of color bear a heavier asthma burden than their white or more affluent peers. Those low-income children who live in urban areas such as Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York are particularly vulnerable. Families with limited resources struggle to provide their children with asthma the support that these children need

This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The data collection technique are observation, interview and documentation techniques. The validity of the data using technique triangulation and source triangulation. Based on the data analysis, can be concluded that (1) the management of the morning tahfidz activity can internalize the spiritual intelligence of the students in the lower grade, (2) the inhibitor of morning tahfidz activity are the children arises less enthusiasm and the teacher sometimes lacks of tahfidz skill, (3) the teachers did some various way in morning tahfidz activity such as doing activities outside the classroom, and using many interesting media

ROLE OF SWEAT GLAND PHYSIOLOGY IN OBJECTIVE GALVANIC SKIN RE-SPONSE MEASUREMENT

poster abstractFor the purpose of studying sweat in response to hot flashes, a type of thermal sweating, the process of extensive literature review performed in this particular project focused primarily on the eccrine sweat glands. Of the three categories of sweat glands, eccrine sweat glands account for the ma-jority of the sweat glands on the human body, existing over almost the en-tire body surface, and contributing to thermal sweating. Thermal sweating occurs as a means for the human body to regulate temperature (Johnson 1996). There are approximately 1.6 to 5 million eccrine sweat glands dis-tributed over the surface of the human body. Sweat gland density varies across different regions of the body, with the highest density on the palms of hands and soles of feet, while the lowest sweat gland density of 64 sweat glands per square centimeter is found on the back (Wilke et al., 2007). Wa-ter comprises approximately 99% of eccrine sweat, with the remaining com-pounds consisting mostly of varying amounts of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium (Groscurth, 2002). The Galvanic Skin Response is an objec-tive measure of skin conductance that has been linked with the peripheral sweat rate (Carpenter et al., 2005). Importance has been put upon the po-tential clinical significance of using the Galvanic Skin Response to objectively enumerate the influence and effectiveness of interventions for health related issues in which sweating is a substantial symptom (Tataryn et al., 1981). One of the objectives of this research is to determine the effect that various sweat gland physiological factors, such as density, ionic composition, and sweat rate, may have on the accuracy of different Galvanic Skin Response measurement techniques and devices. 1Center for Enhancing Quality of Life, Indiana University School of Nursing, IUPUI, Indian-apolis, IN 4620

CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF THE GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE

poster abstractGalvanic Skin Response (GSR) is an objective measurement of the electrical conductance of the skin. GSR is tightly correlated with peripheral sweat rate, which in turn is associated with many clinical conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, menopausal “hot flashes”, diabetic hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes, and various cancers. The objective quantification of GSR can be a valuable clinical tool in evaluating the effectiveness of clinical interventions for these and other conditions. Current methods of monitoring GSR are not well suited to implementation outside of the clinical setting. The goal of this research is to develop a reliable portable device for real-time ambulatory monitoring of GSR. In order to get accurate and consistent readings, electrodes must be attached to the patient with a lasting and non-irritating electrically conductive gel with suitable impedance characteristics. Development of such a device requires consideration of many physiological factors. The distribution and density of sweat glands must be considered to determine a location for the device on the body that will yield measurable GSR without interfering with the patient’s daily activities. We are in the process of evaluating the electrical impedance of electrode and gel combinations presently used in the Carpenter lab. Quantification of the frequency dependent loading profile of the electrode-gel interface will improve the measurement accuracy of the GSR. The ionic composition of sweat and the sweat rate must be evaluated to ensure that the integrity of the interface between the body and the device is maintained throughout the monitoring period. 1Department of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, IN 46204 2Center for Enhancing Quality of Life, Indiana University School of Nursing, IUPUI, Indianapolis, IN 4620
