Prevalence Of Various Upper Extremity Disorders In Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Versus Patients Without Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Daniel C. Buda
Prevalence Of Various Upper Extremity Disorders In Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Versus Patients Without Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Daniel C. Buda
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Background and Purpose: Increasingly larger numbers of patients present with repetitive strain injuries of the upper extremities, especially carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). A large number of these patients appear to have more than one upper extremity condition. The purpose of this study was to determine the probability that a patient diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome will also be diagnosed with other upper extremity and/or cervical spine disorders.
Subjects: A group of 188 subjects diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and a group of 203 subjects without carpal tunnel syndrome were selected through a chart review of patients at Loma Linda …

Estimation Of Standardized Mortality Ratio In Epidemiological Studies, Bingxia Wang
Estimation Of Standardized Mortality Ratio In Epidemiological Studies, Bingxia Wang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In epidemiological studies, we are often interested in comparing the mortality rate of a certain cohort to that of a standard population. A standard computational statistic in this regard is the Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) @reslow and Day, 1987), given by where 0 is the number of deaths observed in the study cohort from a specified cause, E is the expected number calculated from that population. In occupational epidemiology, the SMR is the most common measure of risk. It is a comparative statistic. It is frequently based on a comparison of the number0 in the cohort with the expected value …
The Role Of Diet And Physical Activity For Ovarian Cancer Results From The Adventist Health Study, Fatemeh Kiani
The Role Of Diet And Physical Activity For Ovarian Cancer Results From The Adventist Health Study, Fatemeh Kiani
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A few aspects of the epidemiology of ovarian cancer are well understood, such as the inverse relationship with parity and oral contraceptive (OC) use. The role of other factors such as the potential influence of diet or physical activity is far from being established. A few studies, however, have been able to identify dietary risk factors for ovarian cancer. In this dissertation, I have conducted two studies that investigate the relationship between dietary factors and physical activity and the three endpoints: 1) nonfatal ovarian cancer (1976-1982; time to diagnosis), 2) fatal ovarian cancer (1976-1988; time to death), and 3) total …
