The Dental School Applicant Pool And The Oral Healthcare Workforce, Lauren Mentasti Consonni
UCHC Graduate School Masters Theses 2003 - 2010
One of the major challenges faced by the dental profession today is the recruitment of the most qualified dental school applicants who are capable of serving the nation’s future oral healthcare needs.

The Associations Between Social, Behavioral, And Health Risk Factors On A High School Student’S Decision To Pursue Post High School Plans, Richard Anthony Rodriguez
UCHC Graduate School Masters Theses 2003 - 2010
Background: Due to the relationship between SES and health, pursuing post high-school plans can lead to better future health outcomes for the student.

C-Reactive Protein, Obesity, And Colorectal Cancer Mortality : A Prospective Study Of The Nhanes Iii-Ndi Dataset, Alexandra Maria Hajduk
UCHC Graduate School Masters Theses 2003 - 2010
Chronic inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases, including colorectal cancer. Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for colorectal cancer via induction of a chronic state of low-grade bowel inflammation due to excessive release of inflammatory cytokines such as C-Reactive protein (CRP) by adipocytes. Prior studies have produced evidence of positive associations between CRP and colon cancer risk but none to date have assessed if elevated CRP is an independent risk factor when controlling for obesity. Also, controversy exists about which measure of adiposity best predicts risk of colon cancer. METHODS: We examined these …
