Shifting Rural Quantification Towards Study of Health Disparities: Applications in Statistical and Spatial Analysis of Rural Colorectal Cancer

Creator:: Buchalter, Robert Blake
Abstract:: Quantitative measurement of the urban-rural continuum for examination of U.S. rural health disparities is a relatively new research area, where only a handful of studies have investigated health disparities using quantitative rural measures and even fewer have attempted to integrate health variables within said measures. Most U.S. rural health disparity...

The Role of Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue in Bone Loss During Spaceflight and Simulated Spaceflight in Rodents

Creator:: Keune, Jessica Ann
Abstract:: The reduction in mechanical load imparted on the body during spaceflight presents unique physiological challenges. One detrimental and seemingly unavoidable response to microgravity is rapid bone loss. This adaptation is hazardous not only to astronaut health, but to the success of long-duration exploration-class missions. Skeletal adaptation to spaceflight in astronauts...
