    "DescriptionSummary": "The goal of this study is to determine how accurately an Emergency Medicine Physician is able to determine if a patient is in NCSE based off of their Ceribell device interpretation when compared to a goal-standard board-certified Epileptologist EEG interpretation. We hypothesize that the Ceribell EEG will allow emergency physicians to accurately determine which patients are in NCSE and that this will minimize treatment delay for these patients and improve patient outcomes as a result.

    "DescriptionSummary": "The main goal of this investigation is to perform a feasibility study regarding the use of an\nadapted piglet ventricular fibrillation model of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adult swine. If successful, we plan to test the effects of perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions on post-arrest outcome. PFC emulsions have been shown to reduce the negative effects of anoxia and ischemia but the potential benefit during cardiac arrest is currently unknown. Our research team seeks funding to test this hypothesis in a model that has been approved by our institutional IACUC.",

We will screen for new onset cancer diagnoses and link them to ED visits within the past 12 weeks across a large study population. From here we can determine a preliminary understanding and rate at which cancer is diagnosed, or at least suspected at an initial ED visit.",
