<\/a>Karabin<\/p><\/div>Knowledge has no geographic boundary, and one University of Toledo nurse practitioner and researcher recently circled the globe to bring new medical information to doctors in Shanghai, China.<\/p>\n
Dr. Beverly Karabin was one of four researchers from the United States selected to present at the second annual International Congress of Cardiology. Karabin, who both teaches in the College of Nursing and works in the Syncope and Autonomic Disorders Clinic, presented her research on syncope, also known as fainting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe majority of people who faint suffer from autonomic disorders. These disorders can wreck your life functionally. Patients have a hard time driving and working. You may not see the mortality, but it can be a disabling condition,\u201d Karabin said.<\/p>\n
There is very little medical information available on fainting and the condition is often misdiagnosed. Karabin\u2019s presentation focused on giving doctors worldwide the tools to diagnose fainting and improve patient lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur information was very well-received because we have other therapies we use and devices that can improve quality of life. These were new to other participants,\u201d Karabin said.<\/p>\n
Along with her research efforts, Karabin is a nurse practitioner and plays a vital role in the UT Syncope and Autonomic Disorders Clinic directed by Dr. Blair Grubb, Distinguished University Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer work has been critical to our research efforts, and we have published 20 research papers in the last year alone. She is a shining example of what a university professor should be: an excellent clinician, a superb researcher and dedicated teacher,\u201d Grubb said.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the research and efforts of Karabin and the other staff in the Syncope and Autonomic Disorders Clinic, the University\u2019s reputation is growing at home and abroad.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople find information online and want to come into the Syncope and Autonomic Disorders Clinic from across the country,\u201d Karabin said. \u201cWe look at the entire patient in a holistic approach. It doesn\u2019t just stop at fainting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
