Wildlife Health in Managed Forests : Immunity and Infectious Diseases in Wild Rodents of Oregon

Creator:: Hanselmann, Rhea
Abstract:: With continual and worldwide human population growth, our impact on the natural environment expands and intensifies every day. We consume natural resources, burn fossil fuels, and release toxic compounds into the air, water, and earth. We build roads that fragment the landscape, construct new settlements, and develop agricultural lands in...

Perceived medical discrimination in American Indian women : effect on health care decisions, cancer screening, diabetes services and diabetes management

Creator:: Gonzales, Kelly L.
Abstract:: American Indians and Alaska Natives have disproportionately high rates of diabetes, and it is not known if perceived medical discrimination is associated with diabetes health measures and poorer health for this population. This study examined the effect of perceived medical discrimination (PMD) in American Indian women on health care decisions,...

Infectious diseases of the Felidae : parasite communities from miniature to massive

Creator:: Broughton, Heather M.
Abstract:: Direct anthropogenic stressors have caused drastic declines in wildlife populations over the past two centuries. In the face of these threats, spillover of infectious disease from domestic animals and livestock into wildlife, and novel interactions between parasites and pathogens within wildlife communities, have further suppressed already vulnerable populations. As management...

Radiologic sampling of surface soils near a USEPA superfund site

Creator:: Blakeman, Christopher John
Abstract:: The human health effects of acute exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation are well understood; however, when these irradiations occur at low levels, there is controversy as to their potential health threat (BEIR V, 1990). For individuals living in areas where the level of naturally occurring background radiation is...

Evaluating the public health risks of methylmercury exposure and benefits from omega-3 fatty acids and selenium from fish consumption

Creator:: Cusack, Leanne K.
Abstract:: Although fish are a nutritious food source, they also are the main source of methylmercury exposure in U.S. populations. This research examined the risks from methylmercury and benefits from omega-3 fatty acids and selenium from fish consumption. The first study provided the first region-specific quantitative risk/benefit analysis for nine commonly...

Preliminary investigation of microbial indicators in the assessment of Oregon streams

Creator:: Campbell, Heidi M. K.
Abstract:: The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) site selection protocol was used to generate a random sample of streams throughout the state of Oregon. One hundred and forty-six selected streams were sampled during the summer, low-flow period of 1997. Traditional microbial public health indicators, including heterotrophic plate counts (HPC), total...

Evaluation of bacterial community indicators of stream sanitary and ecological condition

Creator:: Bracken, Caragwen L.
Abstract:: The focus of this research was to develop bacterial community indicators of stream sanitary and ecological condition. The first study compared substrate utilization patterns between centrifuged and uncentrifuged split samples. We found a shift in the relative proportion of each group of bacteria following centrifugation, with a marked increased in...

Analysis of Oregon's Domestic Well Testing Act data for use in a sentinel surveillance system for private well contaminants

Creator:: Hoppe, Brenda O.
Abstract:: The Safe Drinking Water Act ensures that public systems provide water that meets health standards. However, no such protection exists for millions of Americans who obtain water from private wells. Concern for safety is warranted as most wells draw from underground aquifers, and studies demonstrate that groundwater is affected by...
