OverviewAI-generated summary
Richard T. Blaszak's research focuses on pediatric health, particularly acute kidney injury and renal function in neonates and children. He has investigated urine biomarkers for assessing acute kidney injury in neonates undergoing therapeutic hypothermia and examined Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as markers of renal function in pediatric heart transplant recipients. His work also includes studying the use of short-acting nifedipine in pediatric hypertension and the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis in children post-cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Blaszak has also contributed to medical education, focusing on the development of competency-based assessment rubrics and incorporating educational competencies into morbidity and mortality review conferences. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 15, with 33 total publications and 792 total citations. He has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Brendan Crawford, Clare C. Brown, Parthak Prodhan, and Saritha Ranabothu.
