Water Quality Impacts From Agricultural Land Use In Karst Drainage Basins Of Sw Kentucky And Sw China, Chris Groves, Ted Baker Sep 2008

Water Quality Impacts From Agricultural Land Use In Karst Drainage Basins Of Sw Kentucky And Sw China, Chris Groves, Ted Baker

Earth, Environmental, and Atmospheric Sciences Faculty Publications

Karst regions are composed of soluble rock, often limestone, which leads to the formation of fissures, sinkholes, and water flow conduits such as caves. Pollutants in karst waters tend to be quickly directed and concentrated into these subsurface conduits. As a result of this and other factors, water resources are especially sensitive to contamination and pollution in karst areas. Pollutant concentrations going into karst subsurface fluvial systems are often very similar to the concentrations surfacing at outlets such as springs. Areas connected by karst conduit flows must be distinctly determined and special attention should be given to water quality impacts …


Biomechanical Testing Of Charité Disc Replacements Versus Fusion Using Hybrid Testing Protocol And Follower Load, Edward Teng Sep 2008

Biomechanical Testing Of Charité Disc Replacements Versus Fusion Using Hybrid Testing Protocol And Follower Load, Edward Teng

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Statement of Purpose: To quantify adjacent level effects following Charité disc replacement compared to fusion, using the follower load and the new standard hybrid testing method in flexion, extension, and torsion. Summary of Background Data: As opposed to fusion, artificial discs not only preserve motion, but may diminish adjacent level effects and thus slow adjacent disc degeneration. This study aims to use hybrid test protocol and follower load to perform in vitro multidirectional testing and quantify adjacent- and other- level (AOL) effects following one- and two-level disc implants compared to fusion. Methods: Five intact human cadaveric lumbar specimens underwent multidirectional …


Why Do Patients Seek Emergency Psychiatric Care? Their Reasons And Characteristics, Peter Yang Sep 2008

Why Do Patients Seek Emergency Psychiatric Care? Their Reasons And Characteristics, Peter Yang

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Many believe that psychiatric emergency services (PES) are misused, but there is little empiric data available addressing this issue. We investigated reasons patients actually sought emergent care, and whether alternative facilities could have addressed their needs. We reviewed 200 consecutive evaluations in a teaching hospital emergency department via chart review. Data collected included psychiatric history, substance use, and contributing etiologies. PES clinicians involved were asked directly about underlying reasons for emergent care and whether suitable care could have been provided in a less acute setting. Acute behavioral disturbances proved to be the most frequent reason for emergency visits. Half of …

Time Interval To Diagnosis Of Bladder Cancer And Its Associated Outcomes, Lara Suh Sep 2008

Time Interval To Diagnosis Of Bladder Cancer And Its Associated Outcomes, Lara Suh

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a prolonged delay in diagnosis of bladder cancer will result in worse outcomes for those patients, compared to those patients with a shorter diagnostic time interval. Data was collected on 247 patients newly diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder from January 1996 to December 2006 (10 years). The medical records of these patients were reviewed for demographics, pathological stage, date of consultation to the genitourinary (GU) service, and date of diagnosis by transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). The specialty delay was calculated as the time between the date …

Improved Generation Of Anti-Tumor Immunity By Antigen Dose Limitation, Joshua Shofner Sep 2008

Improved Generation Of Anti-Tumor Immunity By Antigen Dose Limitation, Joshua Shofner

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The malignant cells of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) display immunogenic peptides derived from the clonal T cell receptor (TCR) providing an attractive model for refinement of anti-tumor immunization methodology. To produce a clinically meaningful anti-tumor response, induction of cytotoxic anti-CTCL cells must be maximized while suppressive T regulatory cells (Treg) should be minimized. We have demonstrated that engulfment of apoptotic CTCL cells by dendritic cells (DC) can lead to either CD8 anti-CTCL responses or immunosuppressive Treg induction. Treg generation is favored when the number of apoptotic cells available for ingestion is high. In this study, we sought to determine …


Determinants Of Student Preferences For Teaching Behaviors In The Ambulatory Setting, Brian Yablon Sep 2008

Determinants Of Student Preferences For Teaching Behaviors In The Ambulatory Setting, Brian Yablon

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of demographic and cultural factors on learner preferences for teaching behaviors in the ambulatory internal medicine clerkship. To that end, 50 medical students at each of four US institutions (BU, Tufts, UMass, and Yale) and 50 British medical students at the University of Cambridge were invited to complete a survey on teaching behaviors in the ambulatory setting, evaluating items on two scales: one rating the behavior's importance, and one rating how highly the student recommended the behavior. Behaviors rated highly on both scales were considered "valued" by the student. Students' …
