Population Health and Pediatrics NEW: Title: Birth Outcomes after Acute Wildfire Exposure PIs: Libby Smith (Nursing Administration), Catelynn Kenner This study aims to describe birth outcomes at a community-based hospital among infants after the Thomas Fire of December 2017- January 2018 in Santa Barbara County, California. It will be presented at Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science in October. Trauma NEW: Title: Debris Flow Syndrome: Injuries and Outcomes after the Montecito Debris Flow PIs: Sarah Langdon MD (resident), Arianne Johnson PhD, Rohit Sharma MD (PI) Early recognition of injury patterns, which vary by type of natural disaster, can facilitate rapid triage of patients, and the wise mobilization of hospital personnel and resources. However, there is very little published delineating the injury patterns seen after the type of regional disaster we experienced with the Montecito debris flow. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the injury patterns, treatments necessary, and outcomes of the surviving victims of the Montecito debris flow in order to aid in the understanding and preparation of such regional disasters. “Debris flow syndrome” can be defined as a pattern of injuries, including soft tissue injuries, hypothermia, craniofacial trauma, corneal abrasions, orthopedic injuries, and mud impaction. Managing the debris flow syndrome requires coordinated and specialized care. It was accepted to be published in the October 2019 issue of The American Surgeon. It was accepted to present at the following: 1. Annual Scientific Meeting of the Southern California Chapter of the American College of Surgeons (i.e. SoCal ACS conference). January 26, 2019 2. Southern California Region 2018 ACS Committee on Trauma Resident Research Paper Competition. October 26, 2018. Other Research Studies: Solving the Nanoscale Structural Organization of Mammalian Cone Photoreceptor Outer Segments in 3D using Intermediate Voltage Electron Tomography NEW: Cones are the photoreceptor cell type primarily affected in macular degeneration, a major cause of blindness worldwide, and the greatest cause of visual deficits in industrialized society. Understanding the 3D organization of the light-sensitive outer segment of cone photoreceptors is critical to understanding the mechanisms involved in their renewal cycle, a process essential to their survival and ability to regenerate after injury and/or disease. The goal of this study is to use state-of-the-art imaging technology to determine the 3D architecture of cone outer segments at nanoscale levels of resolution, and to use this information to reveal the cellular mechanisms of cone outer segments membrane morphogenesis, the first step in outer segment renewal. 76/119 Start | Contents | Highlights | Business Description | Hiring & Welcoming | Inspiring | Speaking | Listening | Thanking | Developing | Caring | Celebrating | Sharing • Listening 6.28
