Exploring the Association between Concussion History and Lower Extremity Injury in Lacrosse and Ice Hockey Athletes

The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to explore the association between self-reported concussion history and prevalence of self-reported lower extremity injury among lacrosse and ice hockey athletes with and without a concussion history and 2) to evaluate if sex is an effect modifier for the association between previous concussion and lower extremity injury. We will utilize an online survey including pre-validating injury history questionnaires (1,2) to conduct a descriptive epidemiological study. These data can be used to better understand the association between concussion history and lower extremity injury while considering sex as an effect modifier.

Developing Resources to Enhance Understanding of CAR-T Therapy for Lupus and Autoimmune Diseases 

Despite the ground-breaking benefits and scientific advancements in Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) cell therapy, there are significant challenges for CAR-T clinical trials in diseases outside of cancer. These barriers include lack of awareness and knowledge, apprehension and hesitation amongst patients and healthcare providers, logistical and financial concerns, and inequitable access to this new therapy. This project aims to address these challenges by developing innovative strategies to enhance access to participation in CAR-T clinical trials in lupus and autoimmune diseases. The insights and strategies developed from this work will be used to inform and advance the reach, relevance, and implementation of innovative strategies to advance opportunity and accessibility for cell-based therapy trials in other disease states, beyond the example of lupus and autoimmune diseases.

DNR/DNI Orders After Suicide Attempts

Decisions regarding Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and Do Not Intubate (DNI) orders following suicide attempts present a complex intersection of ethical, clinical, and legal considerations. While patient autonomy is a cornerstone of medical ethics, its application in cases of attempted suicide, particularly when patients may be experiencing acute psychiatric distress, raises significant questions about capacity, intent, and the role of medical professionals in preserving life. Yet there is a lack of empirical research on best practices for navigating DNR/DNI decisions in this context. This pilot study aims to explore how ethics consultants, psychiatrists, and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) clinicians approach DNR/DNI orders after suicide attempts. This project will identify the core ethical and clinical tensions surrounding DNR/DNI decisions after suicide attempts. It will also generate realworld insights to inform the development of empirically grounded best practice guidelines to support ethically sound and clinically appropriate decision-making in these complex situations.

Corporate Compliance in the Era of AI

The purpose of this research project is to investigate how different global approaches to regulating Artificial Intelligence have resulted in compliance challenges for multinational corporations. Through a case study of a leading multinational insurer, this thesis will provide insight into some of the compliance challenges associated with conducting business across multiple states with diverging regulatory landscapes. The goal of this research is to understand the sentiments and lived-challenges of professionals tasked with implementing AI compliance strategies, providing key insights into how regulation is actually translated into corporate strategy and how potential solutions could be divised to support other companies during this digital transition.

AGCT1531: A Phase 3 Study of Active Surveillance for Low Risk and a Randomized Trial of Carboplatin vs. Cisplatin for Standard Risk Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors

The aim of this study for low and standard risk germ cell tumor (GCT) patients is to minimize toxicity by reducing therapy while maintaining current survival rates. The trial will eliminate chemotherapy for low risk patients who are likely cured with surgery and will observe the salvage rates among those who recur.

Changing the Modality: Compared Text-Based Discussion Board Responses to Orated Discussion Board Responses in the Age of AI

The purpose of this study is to understand the performance levels of students' responses in text-based discussion board posts compared to orated discussion board posts, in which students speak to an AI tool. As AI is increasingly used by instructors and students, this study will allow for comparison to be made between those two modalities based on student performance and preference.
