<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathaniel Pester, a UNMC medical student, received the UNMC Department of Anesthesiology\u2019s Lieberman Travel Award. The award will allow Pester to attend the Midwest Anesthesia Residents\u2019 Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to present his research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MARC conference is the largest conference specifically for residents in the nation. Pester will join other participants in presenting their novel research and other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMARC will be the first conference I have ever presented research at that is not a small local conference. I am excited to meet students, residents and faculty from other institutions across the Midwest,\u201d Pester said. \u201cI\u2019m also looking forward to seeing a large variety of research projects from different institutions, as well as seeing other projects at UNMC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pester has worked under the mentorship of Cale Kassel, MD, and Trevor Wilke, MD, to observe the outcomes and adverse effects of liver transplant patients at Nebraska Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNate reached out to us looking for a project and we were able to come up with an idea. He took the ball and ran from there,\u201d Dr. Kassel said. \u201cHe was diligent in getting the data collected and reviewing the statistics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His abstract, titled \u201cLiver Transplant Outcomes and Mortality in Geriatric Patients 65 and Older Compared to Younger Recipients,\u201d specifically focuses on patients at Nebraska Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the growing geriatric population (more than age 65), we have seen more of these patients receiving liver transplants. Patients with high health risks are thought to have worse outcomes,\u201d Pester said. \u201cWe found that the mortality at 30 days and one year is similar between geriatric patients and younger transplant individuals here at Nebraska Medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know generally that liver transplants in older patients are generally safe and our research adds to that evidence,\u201d Dr. Kassel said. \u201cIt should give transplant programs confidence that age alone is not a contraindication to transplant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pester plans to further explore research and clinical opportunities in anesthesiology following medical school. His previous research background was limited and he believes without the assistance of Drs. Kassel and Wilke, the project would not be where it is today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI cannot thank Dr. Kassel and Dr. Wilke enough for their guidance and mentorship. They both have been amazing in helping me throughout the process of completing this project,\u201d Pester said. \u201cI am truly grateful to have not one, but two amazing mentors within my future specialty as I have progressed through medical school.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
