I am pleased to present the College of Allied Health Professions’ 2020 Charles R. O’Malley Charitable Trust Endowed Professorships Report. This O’Malley Trust, and many other generous donors have made possible several endowed professorships within the College of Allied Health Professions.

This report chronicles the research accomplishments of the talented faculty who hold these professorships. As you will see, the financial support from these professorships has facilitated numerous accomplishments including the development of innovative and reflective teaching practices, the exploration of the role of diet in respiratory outcomes, and the development of best practices for promoting weight loss for individuals living in rural communities. I encourage you to read more of the exciting and innovative scholarship accomplished as a result of these professorships. The College of Allied Health Professions is immensely grateful to the O’Malley Trust, and the many other generous donors who made possible the endowed professorships within the College of Allied Health Professions.

The professorships certainly contribute to the individual success of each faculty member by allowing them to pursue research in their areas of expertise, which in turn promotes the growing national reputation of their departments and the entire College of Allied Health Professions. More importantly, the work done by these individuals, enabled by the generosity of our amazing benefactors, advances the health and wellness of our entire society. We are very grateful to the O’Malley Trust and all of our donors whose original vision continues to make this research possible.

M. Patricia and James W. Leuschen Professorship for Advancing Research in the Allied Health SciencesThe purpose of this Fund is to advance research in the allied health sciences.

Corrine (Corri) K. Hanson, PhD, RD, LMNT, is Associate Professor and Leuschen Professor. She received her Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition from UNL in 1989, Master of Science in Human Nutrition from UNL in 1993, and her Doctor of Philosophy from UNMC in 2010. With over 30 years of combined clinical and academic experience, Dr. Hanson currently serves as the Associate Director of the Medical Nutrition Education program and is a Fellow in the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She has extensive regional, national and international research collaborations, and multiple organizations fund her work, including the National Institute of Health, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Her research focuses primarily on fatty acids and fat-soluble compounds during pregnancy and the early newborn period, and the role of nutrition in the prevention and development of respiratory diseases.

Match Donor: M. Patricia Leuschen | Appointed July 2013 | Reappointed July 2016

Completed Activities• Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: 2019 Chronic

Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guideline: As the Chair of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) Evidence Analysis Library (EAL) Project for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases, Dr. Hanson developed and published clinical practice guidelines that support evidence-based care in the nutrition management of COPD, a disease which is currently the third leading cause of death in the United States. These guidelines play a critical role in moving forward evidence-based care in the field of nutrition.

• Omega-6 Intake Modifies Respiratory Health and Response to Indoor Air Pollution in Children with Asthma: This study evaluated the impact of ultrafine particulate matter exposure on pediatric asthma health, and described a modification effect of indoor air pollution on asthma by omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. This work was published in the prestigious journal American Journal of Critical Care and Respiratory Medicine, and was widely featured in media outlets including the New York Times and NPR.

• Associations of prenatal dietary inflammatory potential with wheeze trajectory in Project Viva: Asthma and wheeze are common conditions in childhood, and inflammation may contribute to their development and progression. As dietary factors can contribute to inflammation, consideration of the inflammatory potential of diet may be lead to possible interventions. In a study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, Dr. Hanson used the large and well-characterized Project Viva cohort and describe the finding that a more pre-inflammatory diet in the first trimester of pregnancy was associated with a higher risk for the development of an early wheeze during childhood decreased measures of lung function at 7 years of age in the child.

• The Gut-Lung Axis in COPD: The Role of the Microbiome and Dietary Fiber Intake. This study was funded by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Hanson and her collaborators conducted a mechanistic analysis of fiber intake in relation to the composition of the gut microbiome, and found relationships between the gut microbiome and COPD severity and outcomes. Grants have been submitted to the National Institute of Health to continue this work.

Educational and Mentoring Activities • Mentor on 2 NIH funded K-type training awards,

titled “Relationship Between Indoor Ultrafine Particle Exposure and Respiratory Morbidity, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress in Children with Asthma (Emily Brigham, PI, Johns Hopkins University); and “The Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Bioactive Lipid Signaling in Airway Inflammation and Resolution Following Organic Dust Exposures” (Tara Nordgren, PI, University of California-Riverside)

Planned Activities• Impact of Obesity on Omega-3 Fatty Acid-Derived

Pro-Resolving Mediators in Maternal-Infant Health: Funded through a grant from the Nebraska Society for the Prevention of Obesity-Related Diseases, the aim of this study is to define the relationships between omega-3 fatty acid intake, fatty acid metabolism, production of inflammation-resolving compounds, and maternal-fetal health outcomes in obese compared to normal weight pregnancies.

• Targeting Airway Inflammation from Concentrated Animal Feeding Dust: This study is funded by a Veteran’s Affairs Merit Award. In collaboration with Dr. Deb Romberger, this study will identify how the lung responds to and repairs damage caused by dust exposure, including how the pro-repair molecule amphiregulin is regulated by cell signaling responses to inflammation and dietary fatty acids.

• Identification of Bioenergetic Markers in Patients with Refractory Epilepsy: Epileptic seizures are some of the most difficult to treat neurological conditions. One potential therapy for epilepsy is the ketogenic diet. While potentially effective, the ketogenic diet is difficult and has serious side effects. This study will use metabolomic profiling of patients with epilepsy to identify a “metabolic signature” related to diet and seizures, and assess whether some of the identified compounds could be used as therapeutic interventions.

Completed Activities • Moderating effects of cognitive-behavioral variables

on the effectiveness of two different long-term web-based weight loss interventions among women living in rural underserved areas. Hageman PA, Kupzyk K, Yoerger M, Pullen CH. This study investigated the differences between two-augmented web-based weight-loss interventions, with differences observed between high and low performers based upon the type of augmented web-based weight loss intervention. Study findings were presented as a peer-reviewed presentation at the 2018 American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting with a manuscript accepted by the Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Education.

• User engagement associated with web-intervention features to attain clinically meaningful weight loss and weight maintenance in rural women. This study examines level of website feature engagement with the likelihood of attaining ≥5% bodyweight loss after 6 and 18 months participation in a web-based intervention, among rural women at high risk of obesity-related diseases and disability. Findings indicate that higher engagement with messaging features is associated with attaining clinically meaningful short-term and longer-term weight loss. Study findings were presented as a peer-reviewed presentation at the 2019 American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting with a peer-reviewed manuscript published in the Journal of Obesity.

• Weight loss is associated with improved quality of life among rural women completers of a web-based lifestyle intervention. Hageman PA, Mroz JE, Yoerger MA, Pullen CH. This study examines whether women who lose weight after completing an 18-month web-based lifestyle modification intervention would report a corresponding improvement in health-related quality of life. Women report lower depression, higher physical function and less pain interference

following weight loss. The likelihood of achieving improved quality-of-life is greater among women who attained 10% weight loss or more. Study findings were presented as a peer-reviewed presentation at the 2019 American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting with a peer-reviewed manuscript published in the journal PLoS ONE.

• Activity patterns of rural women with obesity and arthritis enrolled in a lifestyle weight loss program. This exploratory study examines whether rural women with physician-diagnosed arthritis and obesity would experience change in weight, physical activity by accelerometry, and/or perceived benefits and barriers to physical activity, following their 30 month participation in a weight management program. Findings indicate the rural women were active at baseline, meeting or exceeding daily guidelines for moderate or greater intensity activity. Women lost weight over time, losing weight from baseline to 6 months, with weight regain at 18 and 30 months, yet ending the study with lower weight than at baseline. Study results will be presented at the 2020 American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting. A manuscript for a peer-review submission will be submitted to the Journal of Community Health Nursing.

• Community-informed outreach produces engagement with overweight and obese, rural, midlife men in a clinical trial. Eisenhauer C, Pullen CH, Hageman PA. This study assessed the feasibility of community-informed outreach strategies to recruit rural men in a 6 month mobile technology weight loss trial. Findings indicate recruitment using social media and community outreach methods being favorable, and recruitment from rural health providers producing no referrals. Study results were presented as a peer-reviewed presentation at the 2019 Annual Research Conference of the Midwest Nursing Research Society.
