Sex Disparities in Adult and Childhood Cancer Incidence

Creator:: Fisher, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: Studies indicate that many cancers occur more frequently in adult males than females. This male predominance must either be due to disparate environmental exposures or innate, biologic mechanisms, or a combination of the two. Using data and statistical software from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, male:female incidence...

Breaking Down Blackout: Building Understanding of Media Effects at OSU

Creator:: Dillard, Lauren L.
Abstract:: In the days following Oct. 5, 2007, the staff of The Daily Barometer - the student newspaper at Oregon State University - was left scrambling for understanding. The paper published a image of a man wearing black face paint for an event called "Blackout Reser." That black face paint looked...

“My Whole World”: Teen Moms Navigating Identity and Social Discourse

Creator:: Tanner, Laura C.
Abstract:: Social discourse presents teenage childbearing as a “serious problem” that results in significant harm and expense to teenage mothers, their children, and society. Although the discourse of teenage childbearing has been multiple, overlapping, and contested, it has resulted in negative stereotyping and stigmatization of teenage mothers. Much of these stereotypes...

A Comprehensive Guide to Effective Communication between Veterinarian and Client: From a Terminal Diagnosis to an End-of-life Discussion

Creator:: Thomas, Victoria
Abstract:: During the end of a pet’s life its owner is often in emotional turmoil over how to feel and what to do. A veterinarian can alleviate some of this grief by effectively communicating during a terminal diagnosis and end-of-life discussion. Effective communication includes acknowledging the unique human-animal bond between client...

Gene-specific antibiotic development: Evaluating effectiveness and investigating antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli mutants of phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers

Creator:: Puckett, Susan E.
Abstract:: Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are novel antisense drugs in the early stages of development. These synthetic DNA mimics contain the same bases found in DNA and anneal to RNA in a complementary fashion. PMOs have been designed that target genes responsible for producing essential proteins in organisms such as Escherichia...

Assessing the Economic Impacts of Food Assistance Policy Using a Computable General Equilibrium Approach

Creator:: West, Tyler T.
Abstract:: Over the past several years, increases in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have coincided with the 2007-2008 recession and the higher rates of unemployment in the U.S. With SNAP being the largest program, in terms of spending embedded in the farm bill, it is likely to see some spending...

Understanding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) toxicity and inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells

Creator:: Valdez, Teresa
Abstract:: There is increased emphasis on understanding cumulative risk from the combined effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors as it relates to public health. Recent animal studies have identified pulmonary inflammation as a possible modifier and risk factor for chemical toxicity in the lung after exposure to inhaled pollutants; however, little...

Impact of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Barrier Function Toxicity in 3D Lung Model from Normal and Asthmatic Donor Cells

Creator:: Huynh, Celine T.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to cause adverse health effects in the human lung. Here, we evaluated biomarkers relevant for PAH toxicity in a 3D human primary bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) model collected from normal and asthmatic donors. We previously found that PAHs decrease cellular barrier function integrity, which...

Use of Artemisinin to Treat Mycoplasma haemolama Infection in Llamas

Creator:: Puccetti, Jessica N.
Abstract:: Mycoplasma haemolamae is associated with mild to marked anemia in stressed, immune-suppressed, and debilitated animals, and may be found in low numbers in healthy animals. The continued presence of the organism, detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay, may be associated with an underlying problem, such as stress or immune-suppression...

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...
