Depression is a prevalent mental health disorder that has high social and economic costs around the world. Currently, over 45 million people in the United States are immigrants. Immigration can be a source of stress, and therefore examining the difference between rates of depression between U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens could shine a light on […]

B33: Impact of One-Week Motorized Scooter Use on Glucose Control
BACKGROUND: Assistive transportation devices are becoming popular. The effect of these devices, such as motorized scooters, on health is unclear. PURPOSE: We examined glucose control in healthy adults before and after riding a motorized scooter for one week. METHODS: In this three-week study, participants (n= 8; age: 22.5±3.8 y (mean±SD); BMI: 26.9±9.9 kg/m²) performed their […]
B34: Adapting the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) Protocol to Establish the Viscosity Continuum of Animal Feed for Use in an Infant Porcine Model
Early in life, infants rely on a liquid diet of breastmilk or formula to satisfy their nutritional needs. As developmental milestones are achieved, foods with diverse textures are introduced to fulfill nutritional demands. Infants with a variety of medical diagnoses who cannot safely and efficiently transition from a liquid to solid diet may seek intervention […]
B35: Tunable Polymer Networks Using Chemically Fueled Dissipative Assembly and Metal-Ligand Coordination
This research is in the area of polymer chemistry, and this specific research is on the effects different metal ion ligands will cause on synthetically crafted polymerized materials. This was done through the testing of the materials through a rheological frequency sweep of the materials upon addition of the metal ligand, finding the stress modulus […]
B36: Comparing Ratiometric and Phasor Analysis Approaches for Sensing Calcium Ion Concentration Using Indo-1 Dye
Metabolic ions like calcium are important signaling ions that are involved in many cellular functions such as muscle control, signal transmissions, and gene transcription. Calcium ion concentrations are implicated in medical conditions like hypercalcemia, which can lead to bone and kidney disease. Intracellular ion levels can be sensed using fluorescence indicators. This means we can […]
B37: Neurodivergent Students and College Professors: What it is and what can be…
Neurodivergent students sometimes have a tough time when they get to college. Nationally, more than half of neurodivergent students drop out of college. In this study, we interviewed two experts at Miami University, one who works with Student Disability Services and one who teaches classes on disabilities. We found that while most college professors are […]
