The Acute Effects Of Elevated Blood Lipid Levels On Endothelial Function, Alexander Nissen Mar 2008

The Acute Effects Of Elevated Blood Lipid Levels On Endothelial Function, Alexander Nissen

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The association between prolonged elevation of blood lipid levels and coronary artery disease is well established. Research focusing on the acute effects of hyperlipidemia is not as abundant, and often looks only at large-sized arteries. The purpose of our study was to measure the acute effects of elevated blood lipid levels on microvascular endothelial function, non-invasively, by means of laser Doppler flowmetry and the administration of vasoactive challenges. With IRB approval, six healthy subjects were recruited for a three-session study in which they were given isocaloric meals with variable fat content (non-fat meal = NM; fatty meal = FM; or …


Educating Adolescents About Acne Vulgaris: A Comparison Of Written Handouts With Audio-Visual Computerized Presentations, Phoebe Koch Mar 2008

Educating Adolescents About Acne Vulgaris: A Comparison Of Written Handouts With Audio-Visual Computerized Presentations, Phoebe Koch

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

This randomized clinical study aimed to compare the efficacy of written handouts with that of audio-visual computerized presentations in educating adolescents about acne vulgaris. The study included 101 adolescent patients, aged 13 to 17 years, presenting to a private dermatology practice or one of three pediatric clinics in New Haven, CT. All participants completed a brief enrollment questionnaire to gauge baseline knowledge about acne vulgaris. Subjects were then randomized to receive either a written handout or an audio-visual computerized presentation. Immediately following the intervention, and again at one month, patients were asked to complete identical questionnaires to assess change in …


Optic Disc Changes After Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation For Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, David Jay-Pei Jeng Mar 2008

Optic Disc Changes After Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation For Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, David Jay-Pei Jeng

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

This study aims to examine the possible effect that pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) performed as treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) has on the optic disc. In a retrospective study, photographs of the optic disc before and after PRP, as well as photographs of untreated eyes for the control group, were evaluated for cup-to-disc ratio and optic disc pallor as gross measures of optic nerve health. A 5-grade scheme for optic color was devised for this study by selecting representative photographs for each grade, where 5 indicated the healthiest-appearing color. Kappa statistics indicated strong intra- and inter-observer consistency of observations for …


Adolescent Medicine: Attitudes, Training And Experience Of Pediatric, Family Medicine And Obstetric-Gynecology Residents, Rebecca Kershanr Mar 2008

Adolescent Medicine: Attitudes, Training And Experience Of Pediatric, Family Medicine And Obstetric-Gynecology Residents, Rebecca Kershanr

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Several studies have documented a deficiency in the delivery of preventive services to adolescents during physician visits in the United States. In many instances, a correlation has been noted between insufficient training and provision of adolescent medicine services in the practicing physician population. The American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Society for Adolescent Medicine recommend adolescent providers deliver comprehensive health services to teenagers. This study sought to assess and compare Pediatric, Family Medicine and Obstetric-Gynecology resident perceptions of their responsibility, training, experience and comfort with providing comprehensive …


The Use And Safety Of Vascular Occlusion Techniques: A Survey Of Practicing Surgeons, Ryan Kelly Mar 2008

The Use And Safety Of Vascular Occlusion Techniques: A Survey Of Practicing Surgeons, Ryan Kelly

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Vascular occlusion techniques can be divided into two categories ¡V transfixion and non-transfixion. Transfixion techniques are defined by the passage of suture material or staples through the vascular tissue. Non-transfixion techniques are defined as suture, metal, or polymer material placed solely around the vascular tissue. The purpose of this study was to survey surgeons in various specialties to determine which vascular control technique they believe is safest and most appropriate to manage medium-sized arteries 6-10mm in diameter. A survey was distributed to surgeons in the following specialties: general surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and colon and …


Nigerian Women Living In The United States Are More Hirsute Than Those Living In Nigeria., Kikelomo Olorunrinu Mar 2008

Nigerian Women Living In The United States Are More Hirsute Than Those Living In Nigeria., Kikelomo Olorunrinu

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

This study was to determine if there exists a difference in the rate of hirsutism in genetically similar women in two different environments. 112 Nigerian women living in the U.S.A and 70 women living in Nigeria were surveyed. All women completed a pictorial survey scoring peripheral hair growth in 6 body areas from 0 (no significant hair growth) to 4 (severe hair growth). Total hirsutism score was calculated as a sum of individual scores. The survey also included demographic data, menstrual history, and data regarding use of hormonal treatments. Statistical comparisons between groups included t-test, nonparametric tests and chi-square test. …


Use Of A Help-Wanted Index To Assess Marketplace Demand For Ophthalmologists, Chukwuemeka Nwanze Mar 2008

Use Of A Help-Wanted Index To Assess Marketplace Demand For Ophthalmologists, Chukwuemeka Nwanze

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Over the 26 year study period a consistent increase in the demand for academic ophthalmologists was noted (34% of HWI in 1980 to 74% in 2005). There was also a consistent increase in the demand for specialists (31% of HWI in 1980 to 80% in 2005), especially demand for retina specialists. There were no consistent geographical trends in demand. Need for academic ophthalmologists seems to be correlated with national research expenditure and stock market gains (p = 0.00191), while demand for private practice ophthalmologists seems to be correlated with the national economic wellbeing, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) …

Ct Scan Natural History Of Post-Operative Thoracic Aortic Surgery Patients, Jessica Kirk Mar 2008

Ct Scan Natural History Of Post-Operative Thoracic Aortic Surgery Patients, Jessica Kirk

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

This study evaluated post-operative CT scans to determine the normal postoperative appearance following thoracic aorta surgery. The 188 CT studies in 102 patients were analyzed for presence of perigraft fluid collections and pleural effusions. Fifty-seven of 102 patients (56%) had perigraft fluid at the time of their first postoperative CT scan. The majority of collections disappeared over time but some persisted with 22% scans showing fluid at greater than 24 months post-operatively. Pleural effusions were present on 86% of scans in the first post-operative month and only 9% of scans after 1 year. Pseudoaneurysms occurred in 3 of 48 ascending …

Mechanical Properties Of Aneurysms Of The Descending Human Aorta, Peter Lin Mar 2008

Mechanical Properties Of Aneurysms Of The Descending Human Aorta, Peter Lin

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Objective: Treatment decisions for aortic aneurysms are currently based on size criteria originally developed in the 1960s, even though we now have more sophisticated methods that can refine interventional criteria. In this project, we applied engineering principles in order to generate a comprehensive picture of the mechanical properties of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms, including their ability to deform in response to pressure, as well as the stresses that cause wall stretch or rupture. Our goal was to use these mechanical properties to understand, explain, and predict the tendency of descending aneurysms to rupture or dissect. Methods: Using an epi-aortic ultrasound …


Interactions Between The Glut4 Glucose Transporter And Its Regulator, Tug, Stefan Mansourian Mar 2008

Interactions Between The Glut4 Glucose Transporter And Its Regulator, Tug, Stefan Mansourian

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is the major insulin-responsive glucose transporter in adipose and muscle tissues. Although the early steps in the insulin signaling pathway governing translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane are well understood, the final steps in this pathway are not. TUG is a protein which has been shown to affect trafficking of GLUT4 both in the basal state and in response to insulin. One protein-protein interaction between TUG and the large cytosolic loop of GLUT4 has previously been identified. Based on reports of the requirement of the GLUT4 N-terminal domain for its proper targeting to the …


Cellular And Synaptic Organization Of The Human Olfactory Bulb, Alison Maresh Mar 2008

Cellular And Synaptic Organization Of The Human Olfactory Bulb, Alison Maresh

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The distribution of cell types and synapses is well characterized in the rodent olfactory bulb (OB), and from that plausible models of odor processing have been constructed. Individual olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) express only 1 of ~1000 odorant receptors (ORs) and send their axons to specific synaptic targets in the OB glomerular neuropil. Each glomerulus is innervated exclusively by OSN axons expressing the same OR. The distribution of these glomeruli is conserved across animals, as is the numerical relationship between number of expressed ORs and number of glomeruli in the OB. Our objective is to extend such results to the …

Foundations Of Intrinsic Habit Formation, Kareen Rozen Mar 2008

Foundations Of Intrinsic Habit Formation, Kareen Rozen

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We provide theoretical foundations for several common (nested) representations of intrinsic linear habit formation. These representations are dynamically consistent and additive, with geometrically decaying coefficients of habit formation. Our axiomatization introduces a revealed preference theory of weaning a decision-maker from her habits using the device of compensation. We characterize linear habit formation in terms of the ability to wean using uniquely determined compensating streams. Moreover, we distinguish between habits that are responsive to weaning and those that are persistent, develop a simple choice-theoretic measure of the rate of habit decay, and demonstrate how to recover the entire sequence of habit …
