    One-Year Analysis of the Prospective Multicenter SENTRY Clinical Trial: Safety and Effectiveness of the Novate Sentry Bioconvertible Inferior Vena Cava Filter
    (Elsevier, 2018-10-01) Dake, Michael D.; Murphy, Timothy P.; Krämer, Albrecht H.; Darcy, Michael D.; Sewall, Luke E.; Curi, Michael A.; Johnson, Matthew S.; Arena, Frank; Swischuk, James L.; Ansel, Gary M.; Silver, Mitchell J.; Saddekni, Souheil; Brower, Jayson S.; Mendes, Robert; Dake, Michael D.; Feezor, Robert; Kalva, Sanjeeva; Kies, Darren; Bosiers, Marc; Ziegler, Werner; Farber, Mark; Paolini, David; Spillane, Robert; Jones, Steven; Peeters, Patrick; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of Medicine
    Purpose To prospectively assess the Sentry bioconvertible inferior vena cava (IVC) filter in patients requiring temporary protection against pulmonary embolism (PE). Materials and Methods At 23 sites, 129 patients with documented deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or PE, or at temporary risk of developing DVT or PE, unable to use anticoagulation were enrolled. The primary end point was clinical success, including successful filter deployment, freedom from new symptomatic PE through 60 days before filter bioconversion, and 6-month freedom from filter-related complications. Patients were monitored by means of radiography, computerized tomography (CT), and CT venography to assess filtering configuration through 60 days, filter bioconversion, and incidence of PE and filter-related complications through 12 months. Results Clinical success was achieved in 111 of 114 evaluable patients (97.4%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 92.5%–99.1%). The rate of freedom from new symptomatic PE through 60 days was 100% (n = 129, 95% CI 97.1%–100.0%), and there were no cases of PE through 12 months for either therapeutic or prophylactic indications. Two patients (1.6%) developed symptomatic caval thrombosis during the first month; neither experienced recurrence after successful interventions. There was no filter tilting, migration, embolization, fracture, or caval perforation by the filter, and no filter-related death through 12 months. Filter bioconversion was successful for 95.7% (110/115) at 6 months and for 96.4% (106/110) at 12 months. Conclusions The Sentry IVC filter provided safe and effective protection against PE, with a high rate of intended bioconversion and a low rate of device-related complications, through 12 months of imaging-intense follow-up.

    Sustaining Civic Engagement: Faculty Development, Roles, and Rewards
    (2006) Bringle, Robert G.; Hatcher, Julie A.; Jones, Steven; Plater, William M.
    Civic engagement of students, faculty, and staff is identified as central to the mission of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). Although nearly all of the Campus Compact Indicators of Engagement could be cited as mechanisms through which IUPUI’s civic engagement mission is supported (Bringle and Hatcher 2004), this article will focus on faculty roles and rewards. Following an introduction that describes the university’s core mission and values with respect to civic engagement, the discussion will focus on specific policies, procedures, and programs to support faculty roles and rewards for civic engagement. A conceptual framework for faculty development, based on experiential learning theory (Kolb 1984) is used to organize a description of faculty development activities to promote civic engagement.
