Abstract:

Many US medical schools have added a scholarly or research requirement as a potential intervention to increase the number of medical students choosing to become academic physicians and physician scientists. We designed a retrospective qualitative survey study to evaluate the impact of medical school research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) on career choices. A survey tool was developed consisting of 74 possible questions with built-in skip patterns to customize the survey to each participant. The survey was administered using the web-based program Qualtrics to UAB School of Medicine alumni graduating between 2000 and 2014. Alumni were contacted 3 times at 2-week intervals during the year 2015, resulting in 168 completed surveys (11.5% response rate). MD/PhD graduates were excluded from the study. Most respondents completed elective research, typically for reasons relating to career advancement. 24 per cent said medical school research increased their desire for research involvement in the future, a response that positively correlated with mentorship level and publication success. Although completion of medical school research was positively correlated with current research involvement, the strongest predictor for a physician scientist career was pre-existing passion for research (p=0.008). In contrast, students motivated primarily by curricular requirement were less likely to pursue additional research opportunities. Positive medical school research experiences were associated with increased postgraduate research in our study. However, we also identified a strong relationship between current research activity and passion for research, which may predate medical school.

Abstract:

Nursing faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) incorporated design thinking (DT) into the curriculum of the UAB School of Nursing Honors Program as a framework for undergraduate students' immersion into research experiences. This article describes the experiences of students who participated in the first honors class that used DT and discusses how to incorporate DT into nursing research and quality improvement projects. Active learning strategies provided students various opportunities to conceptualize and apply the five-step DT process by identifying possible solutions to problems in clinical settings. Three major themes emerged from these reflections: trusting the process, cultivating empathy, and applying DT in the future. Students found that trusting the process of learning about DT facilitated their understanding of empathy's role in health care as they recognized DT's far-reaching applications beyond the honors program. A pragmatic, intuitive, and innovative approach to identifying problems and solutions, DT empowers nurses to creatively and confidently address issues they encounter to improve outcomes for their patients, health-care systems, and communities.

Abstract:

Abstract My purpose for participating in the 2017 Society for Behavior Medicine (SBM) Leadership Institute was to redefine my career goals in an effort to do more work that mattered. I felt overwhelmed by the numerous tasks as a mid-level researcher, including leadership roles outside of my university to fill a desire to pursue activities that were purposeful but not valued by the academy. For example, I served on the Board of Girls on the Run (GOTR) where I was chair, leading a team of about 12 board members to provide a running-based life skills program for girls in Grades 3–5. After stepping down from the Board, I chose to develop a partnership between GOTR and the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Center for Exercise Medicine (UCEM) that would provide an opportunity for me to lead an outreach effort extending the GOTR program into Birmingham City Schools. The goal was not only to reach more girls from disadvantaged backgrounds but also to also reach their family members. We used survey results to assess parent/family preferences for receiving physical activity training resources to be able to support their girls at the end-of-the program 5K celebration. The resources were made available via the UCEM website and a link was sent by GOTR to all families of participants in the program. Overall, the partnership allowed us to reach more girls and their families and I know that the SBM Leadership program contributed to my delegation and organizational skills coupled with coaching to reveal my strengths and blind spots.

Abstract:

Background Diabetes prevalence and incidence vary by neighborhood socioeconomic environment (NSEE) and geographic region in the United States. Identifying modifiable community factors driving type 2 diabetes disparities is essential to inform policy interventions that reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Objective This paper aims to describe the Diabetes Location, Environmental Attributes, and Disparities (LEAD) Network, a group funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to apply harmonized epidemiologic approaches across unique and geographically expansive data to identify community factors that contribute to type 2 diabetes risk. Methods The Diabetes LEAD Network is a collaboration of 3 study sites and a data coordinating center (Drexel University). The Geisinger and Johns Hopkins University study population includes 578,485 individuals receiving primary care at Geisinger, a health system serving a population representative of 37 counties in Pennsylvania. The New York University School of Medicine study population is a baseline cohort of 6,082,146 veterans who do not have diabetes and are receiving primary care through Veterans Affairs from every US county. The University of Alabama at Birmingham study population includes 11,199 participants who did not have diabetes at baseline from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, a cohort study with oversampling of participants from the Stroke Belt region. Results The Network has established a shared set of aims: evaluate mediation of the association of the NSEE with type 2 diabetes onset, evaluate effect modification of the association of NSEE with type 2 diabetes onset, assess the differential item functioning of community measures by geographic region and community type, and evaluate the impact of the spatial scale used to measure community factors. The Network has developed standardized approaches for measurement. Conclusions The Network will provide insight into the community factors driving geographical disparities in type 2 diabetes risk and disseminate findings to stakeholders, providing guidance on policies to ameliorate geographic disparities in type 2 diabetes in the United States.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives To examine whether self-reported added sugar consumption is associated with an increased risk for prediabetes in U.S. adults. Methods A secondary data analysis was performed using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data collected between 2013–2018 in a subsample of adults (≥20 years) with prediabetes (HgbA1c 5.7% to 6.4%) and normoglycemia (HgbA1c &lt; 5.7%) who did not have a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (HgbA1c ≥ 6.5%). Mean usual intake of added sugar (g/day) was estimated from two 24-h dietary recalls. Survey-weighted logistic regression was used to test whether (1) total mean intake (g/day) of added sugar or (2) tertiles of added sugar as an overall percentage of added sugar intake (&lt;10%,10–15%, &gt;15% g/day) were associated with an increased odds of prediabetes. Results In the sample of 10,671 adults, 34% were identified as having prediabetes, consuming an estimated average of 49.4 g/day of added sugar. In unadjusted models, added sugar was not relevantly associated with an increased odds of prediabetes [total: (OR = 1.001, P = 0.625); tertiles (reference: &lt;10%): 10–15% (OR = 1.119, P = 0.206), &gt;15% (OR = 1.057, P = 0.531)]. Similarly, in adjusted models that controlled for age, gender, race/ethnicity, total energy intake, physical activity status, smoking status, BMI, and socioeconomic covariates, added sugar was not relevantly associated with an increased odds of prediabetes [total: (OR = 1.001, P = 0.601); tertiles (reference: &lt; 10%): 10–15% (OR = 1.032, P = 0.763), &gt;15% (OR = 1.053, P = 0.665)]. Conclusions Results indicate that self-reported added sugar consumption does not appear to relevantly increase the odds of prediabetes in adults. Because prediabetes is an early indicator of type 2 diabetes risk, it is possible that exposure to added sugar over time contributes to the significant associations observed in individuals with type 2 diabetes and not prediabetes.

Abstract Abstract 4977 Sustained Depletion of B-Cells by a Humanized, Fc-Engineered Anti-CD20 Antibody, AME-133v, in Patients with Relapsed Follicular Lymphoma J Wayne,1 K Ganjoo,2 A Forero,3 B Pohlman,4 S de Vos,5 S Carpenter,6 J Wooldridge,6 S Marulappa,1 V Jain11Mentrik Biotech, LLC, Dallas, TX, 2Standford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA, 3Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL,4Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland, OH, 5David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles, CA, 6Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, Indiana Introduction AME-133v is a humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that has a 13 to 20-fold increase in binding affinity and approximately 6-fold more potent effector function in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) compared to rituximab. Phase I/II clinical trials of AME-133v in patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma have demonstrated an overall response rate of greater than 30% with a complete response rate of 16%. The extent and duration of depletion of CD19+ B-cells in peripheral blood was used as a surrogate of therapeutic levels of AME-133v. Analysis from the Phase I/II clinical trials is presented in this report. Methods CD-19 positive B-cells in peripheral blood were measured in 77 patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma enrolled in two phase I/II clinical trials of AME-133v. These studies assessed five different doses of AME-133v (from 2 mg/m2 to 375 mg/m2). AME-133v was administered intravenously four times at weekly intervals in both trials. Blood samples were taken at multiple time points throughout the trial and a central lab measured levels of circulating CD19+ B-cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Results Excluding the four patients enrolled in the 2 mg/m2 dose cohort, depletion of peripheral B-cells occurred in all patients and was sustained over time (Table 1). Baseline levels of B-cell counts ranged from 4 × 103 to 1,187 × 103 cells/μL, with an average of 102 × 103 cells/μL and a median of 60 × 103 cells/μL. Within 24 hours of the first infusion, all patients had depletion of circulating B-cells; ninety-six percent of patients had less than 10 × 103 cells/μL and two patients had less than 20 × 103 cells/μL. Interestingly, AME-133v was effective at depleting B-cells even at doses as low as 7.5 mg/m2. To assess sustainability of B-cell depletion after four doses of AME-133v, CD19+ cell counts were evaluated at nine weeks after the fourth infusion and every three months thereafter. Complete depletion of CD19+ lymphocytes was sustained for nine weeks. At five months after the last infusion of AME-133v, nearly two-thirds of patients had no detectable circulating B-cells. Sustained B-cell depletion lasted for at least eight months following the last infusion in 63% of patients. Table 1. B-cell counts for all patients in 7.5, 30, 100 and 375 mg/m2 cohorts. Percentages are cumulative Time Point Cell Count (x 103 cells/μL) 0 < 1 2 to 10 11 to 30 31 to 50 < 100 Day 1 (24 hours after last infusion) 62 % 66 % 96 % 100 % 100% 100% Day 7 (day of infusion 2) 75% 80% 95% 97% 97% 98% Day 28 (1 week after last infusion) 78 % 87% 95% 98% 98% 100% Day 84 (9 weeks after last infusion) 78% 87% 91% 96% 96% 98% Day 174 (5 months after last infusion) 60% 60% 70% 86% 93% 100% Day 264 (8 months after last infusion) 26% 26% 41% 63% 81% 89% Day 354 (11 months after last infusion) 0% 0% 15% 40% 55% 80% DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS (EVALUABLE POPULATION) “\f C \l 1 Demographic and Disease Characteristics on evaluable population (N=30) Conclusion The rapid and sustained effect of AME-133v on B-cell depletion, even in low-affinity FcγRIIIa patients, indicates a potentially relevant biological activity of the antibody in treating B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Notably, this depletion occurred even at very low doses of drug administration and persisted over time. This may be related to its higher affinity for CD20, increased ADCC, or both. The sustained B-cell depletion may result in prolonged clinical response and might mitigate the need for maintenance therapy. A randomized trial is being planned to compare efficacy of AME-133v vs. rituximab. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:

In 2015, the American Heart Association awarded 4-year funding for a Strategically Focused Research Network focused on hypertension composed of 4 Centers: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Medical College of Wisconsin, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and University of Iowa. Each center proposed 3 integrated (basic, clinical, and population science) projects around a single area of focus relevant to hypertension. Along with scientific progress, the American Heart Association put a significant emphasis on training of next-generation hypertension researchers by sponsoring 3 postdoctoral fellows per center over 4 years. With the center projects being spread across the continuum of basic, clinical, and population sciences, postdoctoral fellows were expected to garner experience in various types of research methodologies. The American Heart Association also provided a number of leadership development opportunities for fellows and investigators in these centers. In addition, collaboration was highly encouraged among the centers (both within and outside the network) with the American Heart Association providing multiple opportunities for meeting and expanding associations. The area of focus for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Center was hypertension and target organ damage in children utilizing ambulatory blood pressure measurements. The Medical College of Wisconsin Center focused on epigenetic modifications and their role in pathogenesis of hypertension using human and animal studies. The University of Alabama at Birmingham Center’s areas of research were diurnal blood pressure patterns and clock genes. The University of Iowa Center evaluated copeptin as a possible early biomarker for preeclampsia and vascular endothelial function during pregnancy. In this review, challenges faced and successes achieved by the investigators of each of the centers are presented.

Likewise, evolution of specialties within these healthcare centers frequently parallels their growth and development. This contribution depicts the evolution of a specialty, vascular surgery, within a major medical center, the University of Alabama at Birmingham. It recounts the major participants involved and their contributions and pioneering efforts, some of which have received little attention or were overshadowed by other events. Perspectives from participants—a patient and a trainee—provide insight into this process that has supported the growth and development of a major world-class medical center.

Abstract:

We examined the prevalence and correlates of recent nonspousal family loss among older adults using data from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Study of Aging, a stratified random sample of community-dwelling older adults living in central Alabama. Twenty-three percent of participants reported a recent nonspousal family loss. African American ethnicity, education <12th grade, functional difficulty, restricted life-space mobility, depressive symptomology, pain and other somatic symptoms were associated with recent nonspousal family loss. Compared to non-widowed participants, widows with family loss reported a higher proportion of mental health and activity-limiting physical problems as well as restricted life-space. Programs to improve physical function and enhance health and wellbeing in older bereaved spouses should be expanded to include older adults with nonspousal family loss, particularly targeting the mental health needs of previously widowed persons who lose another family member.

Abstract:

Osteoporosis is the most commonly encountered metabolic bone disease, and metabolic bone-disease clinics have been established to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of uncommon causes of low bone-mineral density. Hypophosphatemia leading to metabolic bone disease may be encountered, and an understanding of phosphate homeostasis can aid in the diagnosis. Two cases of hypophosphatemia leading to low bone-mineral densities were seen at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Osteoporosis Clinic. We developed a diagnostic algorithm, and the laboratory values of each patient were tested with the algorithm. The algorithm, incorporating the use of a spot urine phosphate and spot urine creatinine level at the time of initial serum metabolic profile evaluation, accurately determined the cause of hypophosphatemia in each case.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations are more likely to have both low nutrition literacy and low cooking efficacy. This combination often results in a high consumption of convenience foods that are typically energy-dense, nutrient poor, and promote the development or exacerbation of chronic disease. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of nutrition education, hands-on cooking practices, and financial incentives on grocery purchasing behaviors and diet quality in a low-income community. Methods Forty participants will receive nutrition education and hands-on cooking experiences through a 10-week nutrition education program via Zoom. An instructor will teach participants a nutrition topic and then prepare and cook a related meal with them. Participants will be notified of the recipe prior to class, and required foods will be provided for those participants who are unable to afford them. Participants will also receive discounts on food items labeled as “Live HealthSmart Foods” (LHS) at the Village Market grocery store in the East Lake neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama. LHS foods include fresh, frozen or canned fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Participants will use a unique pin code to receive the discount and their account will be examined for trends in their shopping behaviors. Main outcomes of interest include proportion of LHS foods purchased, dietary intake measured by a food frequency questionnaire and changes in nutrition literacy and cooking efficacy. Results Study results will indicate 1) if there is a synergistic effect of nutrition education, hands-on cooking practices, and financial incentives on grocery purchasing behaviors and 2) how the intervention influences diet quality. Conclusions Results will also inform our endeavor of expanding the territory of the Live HealthSmart food model in a randomized community-based trial investigating the intervention's potential for translation and implementation in a wider and more diverse community setting. Funding Sources This work was supported by the Live HealthSmart Alabama initiative, the Cooking Well nutrition program, Village Market, Albert Schweitzer Fellowship and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Abstract:

In response to calls to improve public health education and our own desire to provide a more relevant educational experience to our Master of Public Health students, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Public Health designed, developed, and instituted a fully integrated public health core curriculum in the fall of 2001. This curriculum combines content from discipline-specific courses in biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, health administration, and the social and behavioral sciences, and delivers it in a 15 credit hour, team-taught course designed in modules covering such topics as tobacco, infectious diseases, and emergency preparedness. Weekly skills-building sessions increase student competence in data analysis and interpretation, communication, ethical decision-making, community-based interventions, and policy and program planning. Evaluations affirm that the integrated core is functioning as intended: as a means to provide critical content in the core disciplines in their applied context. As public health education continues to be debated, the UAB public health integrated core curriculum can serve as one model for providing quality instruction that is highly relevant to professional practice.

Abstract:

Purpose: A knowledge gap exists between general physicians and specialists in diagnosing and managing Alzheimerdisease (AD). This gap is concerning due to the estimated rise in prevalence of AD and cost to the health care system.Medical school is a viable avenue to decrease the gap, educating future physicians before they specialize. The purpose ofthis study was to assess the knowledge level of students in their first and final years of medical school. Methods: Fourteenparticipating United States medical schools used e-mail student rosters to distribute an online survey of a quantitativecross-sectional assessment of knowledge about AD; 343 students participated. Knowledge was measured using the12-item University of Alabama at Birmingham AD Knowledge Test for Health Professionals. General linear models wereused to examine the effect of demographic variables and previous experience with AD on knowledge scores. Results:Only 2.5% of first year and 68.0% of final year students correctly scored ten or more items on the knowledge scale. Personalexperience with AD predicted higher knowledge scores in final year students (P=0.027). Conclusion: Knowledgedeficiencies were common in final year medical students. Future studies to identify and evaluate the efficacy of AD educationprograms in medical schools are warranted. Identifying and disseminating effective programs may help close theknowledge gap.
