For much of history, leeches and bloodletting constituted an essential part of clinical practice. While leeches are no longer standard of care, they still have a role in certain surgical settings and have been approved as medical device per the US FDA. How did leeches go from antiquity to the FDA and what can leeches teach us about medical history and the changing nature of medical knowledge and practice?

Summary:
Increasing Early Exposure to Laparoscopy: A Cost-Effective Trainer Designed for Medical Students Intro: Previous studies have shown that exposing medical students to laparoscopy early in their training may inspire them to pursue a surgical career. Commercial laparoscopic trainers provide robust training platforms for surgical residents but are expensive and not easily available to medical students who wish to become familiar with laparoscopic surgery techniques such as through Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS). In this study we assessed the feasibility of constructing an inexpensive, easily reproducible laparoscopic trainer to train medical students to proficiency in FLS. Methods: Construction materials for the trainers were readily available at common retail stores. The box component of this trainer was produced using 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch plywood, 3/4-inch screws, Velcro, super glue, and Peltex Ultra Firm (c). The electronic components of this trainer included a 24-inch Dell monitor, HDMI to VGA adapter, Logitech C615 Portable Webcam, HDMI cord, and Dell Inspiron laptop. The proposed trainer does not include the laparoscopic instruments or task trainers. Power drill and saw are optimal for trainer construction. Cost calculation excludes laptop. Students were then trained to proficiency on FLS tasks using the laparoscopic trainers. Results: The complete laparoscopic trainer (including monitor) was produced for less than 300 dollars. We have produced 2 complete trainers on which 5 students were trained to proficiency in FLS. Feedback on the training experience from students was positive, with a slightly larger monitor cited as the main difference from the commercial trainer setup. Conclusion: The laparoscopic trainer described here was an effective tool for training medical students in FLS. Built with inexpensive, readily available construction materials and functionality for multiple training tasks, it is a highly cost-efficient approach to administering FLS training. Anticipated future applications for the trainer include implementation of surgical education research and expansion of medical student exposure to basic laparoscopy.

Summary:
The poster will provide a roadmap of how to track and use alternative metrics (altmetrics) to provide evidence of attention or engagement of individual research outlets. Altmetrics are non-traditional metrics proposed as an alternative/complement to citation impact metrics. They provide information about the attention and influence of research of an article or publication and are based on interactions and conversations about scholarly content that occur online, mainly on social media platforms. One of the benefits of altmetrics is that they can accrue sooner than traditional metrics (citations) as they do not depend on the long process of conventional scholarly communication. Examples of altmetrics include mentions on Twitter, in news releases, in blogs, citations in policy documents, number of downloads, and more. As altmetrics are becoming more popular than ever in the evaluation of research, you can include them in your CV, grant proposal, personal website, and your promotion and tenure dossier. This poster shows useful sources and tools to track alternative metrics.

Waters, Dorothy (narrator), Waters, Robert (narrator)
Summary:
Dorothy Waters grew up in the Black Oak neighborhood of Calumet Township and her parents owned farm land near the Chase Street spring in Small Farms. Waters and her siblings pulled weeds in their fields at night and quenched their thirst by drinking from the well on Chase Street. "We would pull weeds, we'd run up and down that big sand hill. And then we walked down and we get a drink at that spring. ... I just loved drinking from that spring."
This was one of a group of excerpts gathered under the subject heading of Black Oak Spring for a digital and in-person exhibit of the Spring at Small Farms Oral Histories. The digital exhibit can be seen at https://iusbarchives.omeka.net/exhibits/show/spring-at-small-farms/home.

Connie Standifer recalls the community use of the Chase Street Spring when she was growing up. She remembers that people traveled to Small Farms to collect water from the artesian well, sometimes drawn by its "miraculous healing" properties. She says, "And there were people from all over... All different types of license plates. From, Utah…Illinois, Nevada."

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing global health issues of the 21st century and is worsening with the COVID-19 pandemic. With existing antibiotics losing potency and limited classes of antibiotics in the pipeline, alternatives are needed to battle multi-drug resistant bacterial infections ("superbugs"). Through the lens of her family’s personal experience with a deadly superbug infection, Dr. Strathdee’s presentation focuses on the medical history of viruses that attack bacteria (bacteriophage, or phage) and how they have been used to treat superbug infections for over 100 years. Dr. Strathdee also discusses the reasons why bacteriophage therapy fell out of favor in the West (drawing from research conducted by medical historian Dr. William Summer), recent advances in phage therapy that led to the founding of the first dedicated phage therapy institute in North America (IPATH), and the role of her family’s case in the process.

This talk examines the deaths of the crew members of the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley as a case study of blast trauma injury patterns. The lungs are the most easily injured organs in a blast and often drive the overall risk level of the exposure. Dr. Lance discusses the developing topic of blast neurotrauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that so frequently affects today’s veterans. The pulmonary and neurological risk of blast trauma to the crew of the Hunley formed a portion of Lance’s doctoral research on underwater blast trauma, and her experiments on the topic are described in her 2020 book: In the Waves: My Quest to Solve the Mystery of a Civil War Submarine.
