Metabolic Analysis of Bovine Nucleus Pulposus Cells with Constant and Variable Glucose Supply

Creator:: Rosene, Rees Alan
Abstract:: There is no standardized method for culture of intervertebral disc (IVD) cells when monitoring metabolic processes. We hypothesize that the metabolic rates of cells that are crucial to experiment designs depend on the cell culture method used. The glycolytic pathway and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are the pathways through...

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...

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...

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...

Encapsulation of Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC 21198 in gellan gum at high densities and with a slow-release substrate for the in-situ bioremediation of contaminant mixtures from groundwater

Creator:: Williams, Gillian R.
Abstract:: As access to potable water grows scarce, there is an increasing reliance on alternative drinking water sources, namely groundwater (WHO, 2018). Chlorinated solvents, such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) and 1,2-cis-Dichloroethene (cisDCE) are some of the most ubiquitous groundwater contaminants spread throughout the US. 1,4-dioxane (1,4D) was used primarily in the late...

Tracking Competitive Season Training Load via TRIMP in a Collegiate Distance Runner : A Case Study

Creator:: Anderson, Morgan Jane
Abstract:: Objectively quantifying workload is challenging due to a variety of factors. One way to measure workload is by training impulse (TRIMP). TRIMP uses time in physiologically significant heart rate zones to quantify a workload for a given bout of physical activity. Tracking average workload over time can then be used...

Tendon Cell Viability: Validation of an Ex Vivo Model to Examine the Cellular Characteristics of Tendinopathy

Creator:: MacGregor, Ellie
Abstract:: Tendinopathy is characterized by injured or inflamed tendons and can be caused by long durations of strain or excessive tension being applied. Current treatments for tendinopathy may include physical therapy and pain management. However, these methods may not heal the tendon or restore it to its original healthy state. New...

Beyond Empathy – A Glimpse into the Physician-Patient Relationship

Creator:: Prince, Morgan K.
Abstract:: During the first surgery I witnessed, I was struck by an immense sense of wonder at the human body. This research effort determines if this awe is shared by physicians currently practicing medicine, if this wonder will fade as part of an everyday landscape, and delves into the different forms...

Dead or less himself : A novel

Creator:: Curtis, Devin
Abstract:: Dead or Less Himself is a novel concerning creative impotence and the ways in which people become repressed and stagnate through expectation, isolation, and over-analyzing. The novel takes place across high school to chart the ways the characters change or refuse to change as they “grow up.” The novel is...

¡Sí, Se Puede! Yes, You Can! Employing a Personal Testimonio to Show Young Latinx Students and Families That Their Dreams of College are Well Within Reach

Creator:: Curtis, Lorenzo Michael
Abstract:: From my personal experiences, I’ve noticed that Latinx students and families are most receptive to college-related information communicated as anecdotes. Latinx students are among the most poorly represented demographic at universities nationwide, which I believe can be mitigated through calculated efforts to increase collegiate literacy and understanding. This project is...
