This document provides an overview of library research for a NUR 151 class, including differences between internet sources and databases, descriptions of the CINAHL and Medline databases, and contact information for nursing librarians. CINAHL contains over 750 nursing and allied health journals back to 1937, while Medline covers over 4,800 biomedical and health journals from 1940 to the present. The nursing librarians, Marsha Ballard and Danielle Carlock, can provide research assistance by phone, email, or chat.
New ACC President Takes Helm
For nearly 15 years, Dr. Rajan Bhatt has served as a cardiologist at the Spectrum Vein Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. In addition to working with patients on a daily basis, he is also a committed researcher and author in his field, penning numerous articles that have been featured in peer-reviewed medical journals. Another way Dr. Rajan Bhatt contributes to his field is through membership in professional organizations, such as the American College of Cardiology.
A Look at the SCA Grant Program
After earning a PhD from the University of North Carolina, Dr. Bruce Hugh Dorman went on to earn an MD from the Duke University School of Medicine. For nearly three decades, Bruce Hugh Dorman, MD, has worked as a board-certified anesthesiologist, holding clinical positions in hospitals and teaching positions at medical universities. Alongside his day-to-day work, Dr. Dorman has maintained memberships in professional groups such as the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA).
In addition to hosting educational events (including an annual symposium), the SCA helps members stay current in their fields by offering a variety of continuing education programs. The group also supports members' work through grant programs for cardiothoracic and vascular research projects.
Each year, SCA awards two types of grants: the SCA/IARS Starter Grant and the SCA/IARS Mid-Career Grant. The former offers grantees up to $25,000 per year for 2 years, while the latter provides grantees with up to $50,000 per year for 2 years.
Grant applications open every winter, and the awards are announced during the SCA Annual Meetings and Workshops, which are typically held in the spring. During the most recent grant cycle, the SCA awarded two starter grants and one mid-career grant to US-based researchers.
Michael Mezzeffi, MD, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, received the 2020 SCA Mid-Career grant to study a treatment for acquired Von Willebrand Syndrome. The 2020 Starter Grant recipients were Matthew Barajas, MD, from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Isaac Wu, MD, from Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Their projects are focused on ischemic post conditioning and transcatheter mitral valve repair, respectively.
More information about SCA grants and previous grant winners is available at www.scahq.org.

This document discusses the NHLBI's PRIDE program, which aims to increase diversity in the biomedical research workforce by providing mentoring and research skills training to investigators from underrepresented backgrounds. It notes that while issues like health disparities and underrepresentation in research have been recognized for decades, progress has been slow. The PRIDE program addresses these issues by matching mentees with experienced mentors over a two-year period to enhance research skills and facilitate career development. The document highlights positive feedback from mentees about how PRIDE mentoring has helped support their careers. It also summarizes the design of four PRIDE summer institutes focused on cardiovascular disease and related health issues.

Some atrial fibrillation patients who are at low risk for stroke are receiving unnecessary blood thinners according to a study by UCSF researchers. The study found that about 25% of AF patients under age 60 without heart disease or other risk factors were prescribed blood thinners, contrary to guidelines. The researchers believe cardiology specialists may not be fully aware of the low stroke risk for certain AF patients and the potential health risks of blood thinners. Being prescribed unnecessary blood thinners could expose low-risk patients to risks of bleeding that outweigh the benefits of stroke reduction.

Marno Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic medicine began in the United States with DOs believing in manipulation to positively affect physiology. While early DOs had varying scopes of practice, today all DOs have equal practice rights to MDs. To become a DO requires an undergraduate degree, high MCAT scores, medical school acceptance and training which includes rotations in specialties and primary care. Osteopathic medical schools have grown from 5 private schools in the late 19th century to 25 schools today, with some publicly funded to address physician shortages. International osteopathic education has also advanced through organizations aiming to increase standards and recognition.

The meeting will feature keynote addresses from Dennis A. Ausiello and Kathy Giusti and will include nearly 400 sessions across 26 content areas with over 1,000 speakers and 450 exhibitors.

American Heart Association - Funding Vital New Heart
The American Heart Association (AHA) funds critical cardiovascular health research as a foundational mission. Since 1949, the organization has invested more than $5.7 billion into new research, with ongoing AHA-funded projects numbering 1,700 and representing $479 million in allocated capital. In 2022-23 alone, the organization provided $178 million in funding toward 868 new projects.
Throughout its history, AHA has assisted in launching numerous careers in brain and cardiovascular research, including 15 scientists who achieved the Nobel prize. Over the past five years, the funding landscape has changed dramatically, with funding for scientists from underrepresented ethnic and racial groups more than doubling.
The impact of such funding in legitimizing research can be substantial, with each $1 of AHA early-career faculty development awards generating, on average, 7.8 dollars in additional funding. The volunteer resources required to arrange such financing levels are immense. In 2022-23, 2,234 peer review volunteers evaluated 3,775 funding proposals. Of these, 1,996 applications, representing $535 million in requested funds, did not receive support.
One of the major funding events each year centers on selecting three Merit Award winners, who receive $1 million each toward researching heart disease causes and treatments. Announced in January, the winners for 2024 spanned researchers in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and California.
A Stanford University School of Medicine professor, Dr. Philip S. Tsao, is researching the impact of vaping on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) risks. AAA involves a weakening of a major artery in the abdomen, with its rupture often resulting in death. As the researcher describes it, around 90 percent of people who suffer from AAA have a tobacco history of use. Yet, this relationship has been little studied, and there is almost no data tracking e-cigarettes and vaping and the prevalence of such aneurysms.
Associated with the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J. Rader studies large-scale human genetics as a pathway of altered lipid metabolism, which can result in heart disease. A focus is on new genes expressed in the liver, which modulate the blood lipids implicated in many forms of heart disease. The research aims to unlock core cellular and biological mechanisms contributing to cardiovascular disease risk.
Finally, Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Joseph Loscalzo is working on uncovering links between heart disease and naturally occurring chemicals in foods (or the foods themselves). Employing high-speed computers and algorithmic modeling, he has identified 135,000 such chemicals. A key focus is understanding how food chemicals interact with cellular proteins and which chemicals help protect the heart. This potentially lays a framework for developing new heart-protective drugs.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.More Related Content
