The Effects Of Benzo-Α-Pyrene On The Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Gene, Brittany Albright Epperson
The Effects Of Benzo-Α-Pyrene On The Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Gene, Brittany Albright Epperson
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
The purpose of this study was to look at the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of benzo-α-pyrene (BαP), a chemical mutagen that is present in cigarette smoke, on the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene. Women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have a growth-restricted baby. We hypothesized that BαP exerts its effects through genotoxic and cytotoxic avenues. The cytotoxicity is manifested by chromosomal abnormalities and a decrease in the rate of cell division. The genotoxicity is manifested by changes in certain genes known to be important in mammalian fetal development such as IGF-I. IGF-I is implicated in intrauterine growth …

Asymptotic Theory For Local Time Density Estimation And Nonparametric Cointegrating Regression, Qiying Wang, Peter C.B. Phillips
Asymptotic Theory For Local Time Density Estimation And Nonparametric Cointegrating Regression, Qiying Wang, Peter C.B. Phillips
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
We provide a new asymptotic theory for local time density estimation for a general class of functionals of integrated time series. This result provides a convenient basis for developing an asymptotic theory for nonparametric cointegrating regression and autoregression. Our treatment directly involves the density function of the processes under consideration and avoids Fourier integral representations and Markov process theory which have been used in earlier research on this type of problem. The approach provides results of wide applicability to important practical cases and involves rather simple derivations that should make the limit theory more accessible and useable in econometric applications. …

The Impact Of High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol On Five-Year Mortality In Older Adults, Lisa Millman
The Impact Of High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol On Five-Year Mortality In Older Adults, Lisa Millman
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (ATP III) guidelines have defined a high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) of <50 mg/dL in women and <40 mg/dL in men as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Our research aim was to examine the relationship between untreated HDL-C levels below this recommended level on five year cardiovascular, stroke, and all-cause mortality in adults over 71 years of age. The Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE) is a prospective cohort study of community dwelling adults over 65 years of age in East Boston, MA; Iowa and Washington Counties, IA; New Haven, CT; and Durham, NC. The National Institutes of Aging (NIA) started EPESE to study health, social, psychological, and economic aspects of older adults lives through extensive annual interviews. The EPESE dataset is further enriched by serum measures including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-C, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, BUN and creatinine, which were obtained at the sixth annual follow-up interview. Our primary outcome was all-cause mortality with secondary mortality outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), coronary artery disease (CAD) not AMI, and congestive heart failure (CHF). The mean age of our cohort was 78.7 years with the majority being female (63.86%), white (88.15%), and married (52.80%). Just over half (52.07%) of our cohort met the criteria for low HDL-C as defined by ATP III. Chi square and Fisher exact test were used to compare demographics (age, gender, race, marital status, education), clinical variables (history of MI, cancer, diabetes, angina, smoking, alcohol use), and functional variables (activities of daily living, gross mobility, cognitive status) at baseline and five year follow-up. Cox proportional hazard models were created using a step-wise approach to assess the impact of low HDL-C on mortality. Low HDL-C was not significantly associated with crude all-cause (P= .413), AMI (P= .473), CHF (P= .259), and stroke (P= .345) mortality. HDL-C was significantly associated with unadjusted CAD (P= .033) mortality. However, after adjustment for demographics, clinical, and functional variables as well as the other blood values all outlined above, HDL-C was not associated with five year all-cause, AMI, CAD, CHF or stroke mortality with adjusted hazard ratios of (HR=1.03, 95% CI 0.90-1.18), (HR=1.09, 95% CI 0.70-1.71), (HR=1.33, 95% CI 0.91-1.92), (HR=1.07, 95% CI 0.63-1.81) and (HR=0.80, 95% CI 0.51-1.27) respectively. In older community dwelling adults enrolled in EPESE, low HDL-C levels as stratified by current recommended guidelines (<50 mg/dL in women and <40 mg/dL in men) were not associated with increased risk of five-year cardiovascular, stroke or all-cause mortality. HDL-C alone may have minimal effect on future longevity in older adults due to competing risk and co-morbid conditions. Further studies are required to determine whether the movement toward more aggressive lipid profile interventions specifically to raise HDL-C in older adults would prove beneficial in this growing segment of our population.

The Prevalence Of Undiagnosed Hypertension In Ambulatory Emergency Department Patients And Lack Of Adequate Referral, Andrew Nerlinger
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
OBJECTIVES: According to a WHO estimate, 1 in every 8 deaths worldwide is due to high blood pressure (BP). The Emergency Department (ED) provides an opportunity to identify individuals with undiagnosed hypertension (HTN) and refer them for BP recheck. The study objectives were to quantify the population in need referral for BP recheck and to determine the frequency of referral from the ED. METHODS: A retrospective, structured chart review of all patients > 18 years old seen in an urban adult ED over 5 days, excluding major trauma and pregnant pts. Patients with any systolic BP (SBP) > 140 or diastolic BP …

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of soy isoflavone protein concentrate and soy lecithin on endothelial function measured as flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in healthy postmenopausal women. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled crossover trial, twenty-five subjects (mean age 61 years; BMI 25.46 kg/m2) were recruited from the general population of southwestern Connecticut. Subjects underwent endothelial function testing using high frequency ultrasound at baseline and following 4 weeks of each randomly assigned treatment with intervening 4-week washout periods. Treatment assignment included: soy isoflavone protein (SP, 25gm/day) or soy lecithin (SL, 20gm/day) alone …

Uterine Arterial Embolization: Classification Of Leiomyomas To Determine Predictors Of Response, Trusher Patel
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
The purpose of this study is to determine features of uterine leiomyoma on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that identify predictors of response to Uterine Arterial Embolization (UAE). MRI images were obtained before and after UAE in 35 women. These images were analyzed for uterine and fibroid size changes along with fibroid border characteristics and location for a total of 73 fibroids. Fibroids were classified as either smooth or lobulated based on border appearance on MR imaging to determine any differences in mean fibroid volume reduction post-embolization. The mean decrease in fibroid volume from pre-embolization to post-embolization was 48.1% ± 28.6 …
Upregulation Of Hypoxia-Inducible Genes In Endothelial Cells To Create Artificial Vasculature, Robert Schonberger
Upregulation Of Hypoxia-Inducible Genes In Endothelial Cells To Create Artificial Vasculature, Robert Schonberger
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
This study explored the possibility that upregulation of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (Hif-1)-responsive genes in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) would promote and stabilize HUVEC formation into inchoate vascular beds within artificial collagen gels. This experiment was designed to explore the above possibility by sub-cloning Hif-1α, the related chimeric construct Hif-1α/VP16, and the marker gene dsRed into retroviral expression vectors, producing retroviral vectors containing these genes, and stably transducing HUVEC using these retroviruses. Transduced HUVEC were to be observed in cell culture as well as after implantation into artificial collagen gels that have previously supported vascular bed formation by HUVEC. …
Routine Anal Cytology Screening For Anal Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions In An Ethnically Diverse Urban Hiv Clinic, Hyman Scott
Routine Anal Cytology Screening For Anal Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions In An Ethnically Diverse Urban Hiv Clinic, Hyman Scott
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
Anal cancer, like cervical cancer, is associated with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HIV+ patients have 38-60 fold increased risk of anal cancer compared to HIV- patients prompting many to suggest routine screening given the success of cervical Pap screening. Our goal is to describe our experience with routine anal Pap screening, determine which patients are most likely to have abnormal results, if anal disease on physical exam is predictive of cytology, and correlate cytology with histology findings. Charts of all patients with an anal Pap followed at the Hospital of Saint Raphael HIV Clinic were reviewed. Demographics, immune status, sexually …
Effect Of Counterface Roughness On The Cross-Path Wear Of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, Mary Turell
Effect Of Counterface Roughness On The Cross-Path Wear Of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, Mary Turell
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is used worldwide as a bearing material in total joint replacement prostheses. Despite its excellent biocompatibility and high wear resistance, wear of UHMWPE components continues to be a major problem limiting the clinical lifespan of UHMWPE-containing orthopaedic implant devices. Multi-directional motion or cross-path motion is known to affect wear rates of UHMWPE in total knee and hip replacement prostheses. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of counterface roughness on the cross-path wear of UHMWPE and to determine if the previously established unified theory of wear model could accurately predict wear rates …
