Mathematically modeling transient temperature variation in a human neonate undergoing intensive blue light phototherapy for management of hyperbilirubinemia

Creator:: Gondhalekar, Vikram B.
Abstract:: Neonatal jaundice secondary to hyperbilirubinemia occurs in 60% of all term newborns and nearly all preterm newborns in the US. Severe cases of this may lead to chronic encephalopathy, neurologic deficits, and, in some cases, death. Intensive blue light phototherapy involves irradiation of a patient with high intensity light and...

Investigation of the effects of cryopreservation on cellular viability and mechanical integrity of the intervertebral disc

Creator:: Forcier, Ryan J.
Abstract:: Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a phenomenon that has yet to be adequately addressed. Treatment options remain limited and incomplete. The ability to effectively cryopreserve IVDs would allow for better allograft transplantations and storage of samples for research purposes. This study aimed to assess how cryopreservation with different...

Analysis and Modeling of Kinetic Parameters for Urea Hydrolysis by Bacteria for Use in Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Aquifers

Creator:: Neighbor, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The use of ureolytic bacteria for the remediation of contaminated groundwater aquifers by inducing calcium carbonate precipitation is being studied in order to establish a better understanding of the modeling and prediction of how the bacteria will act in situ. This research has pursued the use of various ureolytic bacteria...

Coaction of a Biomedical Device and Physiological Model for Thalassemia Therapy Modeling: Methods and Future Approaches

Creator:: Hull, Darke
Abstract:: The Jovanovic lab at Oregon State University (OSU) is developing iCore, a versatile blood processing platform which leverages microfluidic process intensification via increased mass transfer efficiency and decreased device footprint with the goal of creating a portable, wearable device. One application of iCore is for the treatment of hyperferremia resulting...

Predicting Treatment Options for the Intervertebral Disc: Patient-Specific Finite Element Models

Creator:: Ahrens, Sonia R.
Abstract:: This work describes a method for incorporating patient data into a nutrient transport model of the intervertebral disc.This data was collected using MRI diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and was converted into an apparent diffusion coefficient map (ADC map). This map was used to define the diffusion behavior of water within...

Role of P2Y₁₂ Inhibition in PAR1 Stimulated Platelet Dense Granule Release

Creator:: Laschober, Nicole B.
Abstract:: Platelet activation uses a complex set of pathways to respond to vascular injury during hemostasis. However, thrombosis relies on the same set of pathways. Antiplatelet therapies used to prevent thrombotic events often target the P2Y₁₂ platelet receptor for inhibition but can result in bleeding diathesis or in abnormally high ADP...

Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

Creator:: Jayawickrama, Clare
Abstract:: Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

Mapping Spine Surgical Outcomes and Risk Factors

Creator:: Hernandez, Phillip A.
Abstract:: The majority of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is the leading cause of disability globally, ahead of 290 other conditions1. Over one million people in the United States receive spine surgery annually2. This thesis looked at five standard surgical procedures performed on...
