Virtual Distractions From Reality

Patients in the pediatric emergency room are subject to many painful, stressful, and scary procedures which can lead to a frightened, nervous and uncooperative child. These same procedures can contribute to parental stress and lead to staff dissatisfaction as well. While the literature revealed a plethora of distraction techniques that are implemented in pediatric patients, our project explored studies that implemented virtual reality as a distraction technique across different ages and procedures. Based on the evidence that was identified, a grant was recently obtained to implement virtual reality into our pediatric emergency department at Rochester General Hospital and we are now planning the implementation phase.https://scholar.rochesterregional.org/nursingresearchday_2023/1002/thumbnail.jp

The AURORA Study: A Longitudinal, Multimodal Library of Brain Biology and Function after Traumatic Stress Exposure

Adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae (APNS) are common among civilian trauma survivors and military veterans. These APNS, as traditionally classified, include posttraumatic stress, postconcussion syndrome, depression, and regional or widespread pain. Traditional classifications have come to hamper scientific progress because they artificially fragment APNS into siloed, syndromic diagnoses unmoored to discrete components of brain functioning and studied in isolation. These limitations in classification and ontology slow the discovery of pathophysiologic mechanisms, biobehavioral markers, risk prediction tools, and preventive/treatment interventions. Progress in overcoming these limitations has been challenging because such progress would require studies that both evaluate a broad spectrum of posttraumatic sequelae (to overcome fragmentation) and also perform in-depth biobehavioral evaluation (to index sequelae to domains of brain function). This article summarizes the methods of the Advancing Understanding of RecOvery afteR traumA (AURORA) Study. AURORA conducts a large-scale (n = 5000 target sample) in-depth assessment of APNS development using a state-of-the-art battery of self-report, neurocognitive, physiologic, digital phenotyping, psychophysical, neuroimaging, and genomic assessments, beginning in the early aftermath of trauma and continuing for 1 year. The goals of AURORA are to achieve improved phenotypes, prediction tools, and understanding of molecular mechanisms to inform the future development and testing of preventive and treatment interventions

Property or Privacy? Reconfiguring Ethical Concerns Around Web Archival Research Methods

People are constantly leaving digital traces of themselves online. These digital traces can be captured and archived to study the evolution of web culture, and changing structure of web objects. As archivists have been practices for digital culture preservation, and scholars build methods for web archival research, they consider the ethical implications of their work. Recently the focus on ethical concerns regarding web archiving has shifted from focusing on property to focusing on privacy. Discourse tracing is used to analyze this focus as is changes over time. This analysis shows how archival researchers and archivists move across and between each other’s fields, appropriate, and play with methods, and ultimately construct somewhat limiting frames for understanding archival research ethics

Structural Studies of Enantiomers, Racemates, and Quasiracemates. 2-(3-Bromophenoxy)propionic Acid and 2-(3-Methoxyphenoxy)propionic Acid

The quasiracemate approach for constructing molecular assemblies has provided a fertile ground in which to exploit the crystal packing tendencies of quasienantiomeric components. The present study of quasiracemic behavior reveals that cocrystallization of (S)-3-(2-bromophenoxy)propionic acid and (R)-3-(2-methoxy)propionic acid generates supramolecular motifs organized in space group C2 with near inversion symmetry. This quasiracemic system, first investigated by J. and I. L. Karle in 1966, consists of carboxyl···carboxyl heterodimers that mimic those observed for (±)-Br and (±)-OCH3. These racemates crystallize to give four distinct phases (two polymorphic forms for each Br and OCH3 compound); two of which, (±)-Br−I and (±)-OCH3−I, are isostructural with the quasiracemate. This collection of structures, including those of the enantiopure (S)-Br and (R)-OCH3 compounds, underscores the importance of molecular shape to the construction of supramolecular assemblies
