Phenotyping Degeneration of the Intervertebral Disc with Principal Component Analysis and K-Means Clustering

Creator:: Chen, Joseph
Abstract:: The human intervertebral disc (IVD) provides support for the vertebral bodies, allowing for movement and load bearing. The IVD can degenerate with age or injury, impeding function and causing chronic pain. Despite disc degeneration affecting over 90% of adults over age 50, and back pain being the leading global cause...

Everything in Moderation : A Study of the Effects of Alcohol Consumption on Health from Local and International Perspectives

Creator:: Wardzala, Casia Lynn
Abstract:: The consumption of alcohol has been shown to have effects on health that are both harmful and therapeutic, depending on the amount that is consumed. Alcohol’s effects can be damaging to the body in excess but, in moderation, can act as a protectant against certain conditions. The two studies discussed...

Developing a Qualitative Assessment Instrument to Measure Conceptualization of Oppression and Privilege

Creator:: Johnson, Rachel M.
Abstract:: An understanding of oppression and privilege would improve engineering climates and encourage individuals with marginalized identities to stay engaged in engineering spaces. Currently there are quantitative tools to assess cultural competencies, but none that measure understandings of power relationships. This project aims to create a qualitative assessment instrument to measure...

The Effect of an Ethics Course on Bioengineering Students' Understanding of Social Justice Issues in the Context of Engineering

Creator:: Rinker, Torri E.
Abstract:: The nature of engineering work requires that ethical considerations are taken into account while making decisions surrounding topics such as technology, equal distribution of cost benefits, and consumer risk. In order for engineers to make ethical decisions in their careers, it is helpful if their engineering education provided them with...

Exploring Perceptions of Social Responsibility in Engineering Students

Creator:: Jahr, Amy
Abstract:: Incoming and graduating engineering students in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University were surveyed in order to assess awareness and integration of social responsibilities into their emerging professional persona and how those views are informed by program and faculty interactions. Preliminary analysis of responses...

Use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance image processing for evaluation of supraspinatus and biceps tendon pathology in dogs

Creator:: Sheikh, Omar
Abstract:: Shoulder injuries, especially those caused by rotator cuff tears, are a pervasive problem in human and canine patients. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose rotator cuff tears is important for early and targeted treatment. Prior clinical work has demonstrated that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging effectively diagnose these tears....

Quantitative 3D Image Analysis of a Zebrafish Xenograft Model of Glioblastoma Cell Proliferation

Creator:: Kang, Christine
Abstract:: Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary brain tumor in adults ages 45-70, with over 12,120 new cases in the U.S. predicted for 2016 alone. Glioblastoma is also one of the most difficult cancers to treat because the tumor cells tend to invade into the surrounding healthy tissue, making it...

Rational design of ex vivo model of thrombosis

Creator:: Patel, Ishan A.
Abstract:: When vessel walls within the vasculature are damaged, exposed extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins trigger a series of events that lead to the formation of a hemostatic plug (Andrews et al. 2004, Furie et al. 2008, Watson 2009). Thrombus formation requires an orchestrated series of receptor-mediated events facilitating platelet recruitment, platelet...

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...
