  • Hepatitis B and liver cancer among Hmong : knowledge, perceptions of risk, and barriers to hepatitis B screening and vaccination

    Creator:
    Kue, Jennifer
    Abstract:
    Chronic hepatitis B disproportionately affects Asian Americans. Although Asians make up only 4.2% of the total United States (U.S.) population, they account for more than half of those infected with hepatitis B.

    Abstract:
    The umbrella species concept is a single-species conservation strategy built on the notion that indirect protections are provided for multiple species that occupy the same area as a single, or umbrella, species. The utility of the umbrella species concept relies on similar associations of abundance, distribution, life history requirements, and...

  • Western Diet-Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): The Impact of Time on the Onset and Remission of Disease

    Creator:
    Spooner, Melinda H.
    Abstract:
    Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by an accumulation of neutral lipids in the form of triglycerides and cholesterol esters accounting for >5% of liver weight. Excess neutral lipids accumulate in large lipid droplets, i.e., macrosteatosis, displacing the nucleus of cells. Current theory suggests neutral lipid accumulation is the...

  • Inheritance and Allelism Among the B genes in Cucurbita moschata

    Creator:
    Wilson, Casey K.
    Abstract:
    One of the most economically important genes in squash (Cucurbita spp.) is the B gene which conditions precocious depletion of chlorophyll in preanthesis fruit. The B genes are found naturally occurring in at least three of the five domesticated species of Cucurbita, including C. pepo, C. maxima and, most recently...
