▼ The literature suggests that body kinematics and musculoskeletal differences are major factors contributing to the high disparity in non-contact Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury rate between genders. The literature also indicates that the incidence of non-contact ACL injury predominates during single-leg landing sports such as basketball, soccer, and handball. Despite this, there are few studies investigating kinematics or musculoskeletal differences between genders during single-leg landing from increasing vertical heights and horizontal distances. The objectives of this study are threefold: first, conduct a gap study identifying the barriers to predicting mechanisms and risk factors for non-contact ACL injury. Second, propose a new approach that can address some of the challenges encountered in some existing non-contact ACL injury study approaches. Finally, whilst determining whether or not gender differences explain the higher rate of ACL injuries among females, identify and correlate the biomechanical and musculoskeletal variables significantly impacted by gender, vertical landing height, and/or horizontal landing distance and their interactions to various ACL injury risk predictor variables during single-leg landing. Experiments using male and female subjects, inverse dynamics analysis using Visual3D, and musculoskeletal modeling simulation using AnyBody Modeling System were approaches used to explore these objectives. Salient findings from this dissertation includes but are not limited to, non-contact ACL injury that occurs during single-leg landing is mutifaceted entailing many factors that cannot be captured in any one existing ACL injury study approach. Non-contact ACL injury during single-leg landing may not be gender specific. Both vertical height and horizontal distance of landing increase the risk of non-contact ACL injury during single-leg landing. Body kinematics during single-leg landing may not be the sole determinant in attenuating ground reaction forces and consequently risk of ACL injury. The hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles were determined to strain shield the ACL while the quadriceps were found to have no significant effect on risk of ACL injury during single-leg landing. Within the findings and limitations of this study the knowledge garnered from this research may aid in tailoring future studies so as to enable more robust non-contact ACL injury prevention protocols.

Objective and Background: Implants have become a predictable treatment for the replacement of missing teeth. However, they are not without problems. It is important to understand the relationship between implant failure and patient- and implant-level factors. Therefore, the purpose of this retrospective chart review was to explore patient- and implant-level factors associated with implant failure, defined here as the loss, removal, or scheduled removal of the implant. Methods: Data were abstracted from charts of patients at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Patient-level variables included current smoking status, gender, age, self-reported diabetes, and history of bisphosphonate use. Implant-level variables included implant brand, location, whether sinus or bone augmentation was done, immediate or delayed implant placement and restoration type. Data were entered into a custom, web-based data file. Implant failure was defined as the loss or planned removal of the fixture. Descriptive statistics were computed for patient- and implant-level variables. Hazard ratios (HR) and p-values were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression. The relationship between the variables and implant failures were explored in both univariable and multivariable analyses. We analyzed data for all implants and separately for implants placed in the posterior maxilla. Results: Smoking was the only patient-level variable associated with implant failure in the univariable analyses (P=0.0109, HR=2.13). Sinus grafting material significantly affected implant failure in both univariable and multivariable analyses (P=<0.0001). Implant-level variables such as length, jaw region, alveolar ridge grafting, and sinus grafting both prior to and at the time of implant placement were not significantly associated with failures (P=>0.05) in the univariable analysis. In the multivariable analysis, overdentures had a failure rate 2.95 times greater than single crowns. In addition, sinus grafting material (P=<0.0001) and bone grafting material (P=0.006) were also significant in the multivariable analysis for all sites. When limiting the multivariable analysis to posterior maxillary sites only bone grafting material was no longer significant, while both restoration type and sinus grafting material remained statistically significant. Interestingly, timing of ridge augmentation, either prior to or at the time of implant placement did not affect implant failure (HR=0.97). Conclusions: Overall, implants are a predictable treatment option. Smoking negatively affects implant success. Implants supporting overdentures have higher failure rates when compared to those supporting single or multiple fixed restorations and fixed-detachable appliances. Self-reported diabetes, use of bisphosphonates and timing of ridge augmentation were not associated with implant failure.

▼ Abstract Background The primary reason for the loss of horses from training and racing is musculoskeletal injury, especially dorsal metacarpal disease. Research has shown that the occurrence of injuries is related to the intensity of the exercise programme. Short periods of high speed exercise in the training seem to be beneficial, as especially bones can adapt to the high speed, so horses are better prepared for racing speeds. Aims To describe the differences between horses who go straight through training as a two-year-old and horse who have interruptions in their training. Methods The data, containing 597 two-year-horses, were obtained by Perkins over a 34-months period from October 1997 until July 2000. For every horse the training activity score (TAS) was recorded, as well as the amount of days it had spent in that TAS. Different TAS were: TAS 1= spell, TAS 2= walk/trot, TAS 3= canter, TAS 4= gallop/high speed exercise, TAS 5= starting in a race or trial. Also recorded were the reasons why horses were put on a spell; voluntary or injury related. Results The two-year-olds were divided in three different groups: “Good” horses (n=279, no spells), “Voluntary” horses (n=144, just voluntary spells) and “Involuntary” horses (n=132, at least one injury-related spell). There was a significant difference between the good group and the voluntary/involuntary group in TAS already at the start. The voluntary and involuntary groups both had a big dip in TAS at the beginning of training, but after that the voluntary group went significantly faster to reach TAS 5 than the involuntary group (p<0.05). Of the voluntary group 50% of the horses reached TAS 5. Of the involuntary horses only 30% reached TAS 5. Of all the horses that reached TAS 5, the good horses (median=114 days) were significantly faster (p<0.01) to reach TAS 5 than the voluntary/involuntary horses. There was no difference between the voluntary (median=244 days) and involuntary groups (median=244 days). Voluntary horses were faster to reach their first spell than involuntary horses (p<0.01). Both groups had their first spell early in the training. Involuntary horses had more than one spell more often than voluntary horses. In the good group, older two-year-olds were faster to reach TAS 5 than the youngest (p<0.01) and middle (p=0.028) groups of two-year-olds. In the voluntary group, the middle group of two-year olds were faster to reach TAS 5 than the early two-year-olds (p=0.014). Horses that were born in the year 1995 were faster to reach TAS 5 than horses born in the year 1996 (p=0.013) and the year 1997 (p=0.003). Conclusions The critical point of horses ending up in a group is early on in the training. Trainers may have a good view on whether a horse is going to be a good one and they will train such a horse quickly up to TAS 5. Voluntary horses might be the horses that are obviously not ready to cope with the training and are put on a spell by their trainer. Involuntary horses could be the horses that the trainers were in doubt about… Advisors/Committee Members: Weeren, P.R. van.

▼ Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is a major public health problem with a high mortality rate in developing countries such as Ghana. Security officers have high prevalence of traditional risk factors as well as occupation-specific risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Traditional risk factors of cardiovascular diseases include hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, cigarette smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle. Occupation-specific risk factors include sudden physical exertion, acute and chronic psychological stress, shift work, and noise. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors among security officers of the University of Ghana, Legon campus. A self- administered questionnaire was used to obtain data about the security officers. The arterial blood pressure, weight and height of the security officers were checked by means of an electronic sphygmomanometer, a mechanical weighing scale with a stadiometer respectively. Data obtained was analyzed using Stata 13 SE and Excel 2010. A total of 191 security officers participated in this study. Prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension were 45 % and 37 % respectively. The mean systolic blood pressure was 135.3 mmHg (SD-22.75) while the mean diastolic blood pressure was 87.5mmHg (SD-15.41). The mean age of the participants was 43 years (SD-10.80) with 73.8 % of them being 35 years or above. The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 24.6 kgm-2 (SD-3.94). The mean stress score was 20.4 (SD-4.66). Statistically significant associations were found between blood pressure and age (p-value<0.05), stress score (p value<0.05), BMI (p value<0.001) and years of work (p-value<0.05). Age was significantly associated with hypertension after adjusting for other independent variables. A high prevalence of hypertension was found which was associated with the older age group, overweight/obesity, longer duration of service and having Senior Secondary School education or higher.

▼ Camelpox virus (CMLV) causes a smallpox-like illness in a unique host, the camel. Although the disease is enzootic in almost all regions where camel husbandry is practiced, and is responsible for severe economic losses, its epidemiology has not extensively investigated. Thus, sero- and participatory- epidemiological investigation of the disease was carried out in Gabi Rasu zone using cross sectional study design to determine its seroprevalence and associated risk factors as well as using seasonal calendar to identify its seasonal occurrences. In addition camelpox vaccine, the only available vaccine for the species of animal in Ethiopia, was evaluated under field condition by seroconversion using the before and after with control experimental study design. The study was conducted in two selected districts of Gabi Rasu zone, from November 2014 to May 2015. Out of 384 camel sera samples tested by virus neutralization test, 74 were seropositive for camelpox, giving an overall seroprevalence of 19.3% (95% CI= 15.3-23.2%) in the study area. A seroprevalence of 21.6 (95% CI= 16.0-27.2) and 16.7 (95% CI=11.2-22.1) were recorded in Amibara and Awash Fentale districts, respectively. At least one seropositive camel was detected from 25 herds among 30 examined giving 83.3% (95% CI = 70.0-96.6) herd level prevalence. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis of the assumed risk factors showed that age of the camel was the only risk factor associated with the occurrence of serpositivity to camelpox. The results indicated that camelpox seroprevalence was significantly higher in adult (24.4%, 95% CI= 18.4-30.4) than young age group (13.9%, 95% CI= 8.9-18.8) with a 2 fold greater odds of occurrence. The small-scale vaccine evaluation trial indicated that, vaccination of camels with the live attenuated camelpox vaccine resulted in a significantly higher seroconvesrion rate compared to unvaccinated camels. However, among 58 vaccinated camels with pre-vaccination seronegative results, 32 found seropositive at postvaccination serum analysis using VNT, indicating low (55.2%) seroconversion rate. Various explanations have suggested for the failure of post vaccination seroconversion on 44.8% vaccinated camels. Interview of pastoralists has revealed that camelpox is one of the most common camel diseases in the area. The disease was reported commonly to occur during the minor (Sugum) and major (Kerma) rainy seasons by informant groups. In conclusion camelpox seems to be endemic in Gabi Rasu zone with seasonal occurrence during rainy season. Therefore, considering the economical significance of the disease, vaccination of young camels along side training of pastoralists for improved management strategies could have a significant importance in diminishing the virus from circulation. However, further extensive studies that lead to conclusive results on the efficacy of the vaccine under evaluation are recommended. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Reta Duguma (advisor).

▼ Background: Measles is a highly contagious viral disease caused by Paramyxovirus, of the genus Morbillivirus. A measles outbreak was detected in Jimma Town, Oromia Region on the 16th of August 2014. An outbreak investigation was carried out. Objective: To assess the occurrence of the outbreak and identify factors associated with contracting measles in Jimma Town, Oromia Region, Ethiopia 2014. Methods: We conducted unmatched case control study. We recruited a total of 34 cases and 102 controls. Data was collected from 14-29 October 2014, using structured questionnaire to solicit information from cases and controls. Verbal consent from all participants and confidentiality were in place. Permission to carry out the study was obtained from Ethiopian Public Health Institute and Oromia Regional Health Bureau. Epi Info was used to calculate frequencies, odds ratios and 95% confidence interval finally SPSS software used to perform logistic regression to identify risk factors for measles. Result: We recruited a total of 34 cases and 102 controls. The mean age for cases was 12.8+14.6 SD and for controls 8.4+9.1 SD. Cases whose mothers educated to the level of primary were 3.4 times more likely to develop measles compared to their counter parts (AOR=3.4; 95%CI: 1.03-15.94) and Children’s who had contact with measles cases were 3.2 times at risk of contracting measles compared to who had no contact (AOR=3.2; 95%CI: 1.14-8.93). Also cases that had travel history to outbreak site were 6.3 times more likely to develop measles compared to that had no travel history (AOR= 6.3; 95%CI: 2.52-15.94). Conclusion: Factors independently associated with the occurrence of measles outbreak were mother’s education to the level of primary, travel history and contact with cases and, we recommend routine vaccination for all children before enrolling into schools and strengthening supplemental measles vaccination and Public advocacy on immunization campaigns Keywords: Measles; Outbreak; Risk factors; Ethiopia Advisors/Committee Members: Alemayehu Worku (Prof.) (advisor).

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, afflicting 1-2% of the population over the age of 65, and its prevalence is expected to rise as the population of older adults increases, highlighting the importance of prevention and treatment. In this dissertation, we investigated the associations between dietary, lifestyle, and genetic factors and PD risk, using data from three large prospective cohorts: the Nurses’ Health Study, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and the Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort. For all analyses, we assessed diet using validated food frequency questionnaires; self-administered biennial questionnaires were used to identify PD cases, who were then confirmed by neurologists specializing in movement disorders via medical records. Cox proportional hazards models and conditional logistic models were used to calculate the relative risks (RR) of PD and 95% confidence intervals (CI). In addition, we assessed multiplicative interactions by conducting likelihood ratio test and additive interaction using three indices: the relative risk due to interaction (RERI), the attributable proportion (AP), and the synergy index (SI). In Chapter 1, we found that total caffeine intake was protective against PD in women who have never used postmenopausal hormone therapy (PMH) and men; the pooled multivariable-adjusted RR comparing the highest to lowest quintile of caffeine intake in men and women with never PMH use was 0.62 (95% CI= 0.39, 0.98; p = 0.04). In addition, as the pathogeneses of many complex diseases involve multiple components, we examined how genetic factors may influence the association between caffeine intake and PD risk in Chapter 3, but we did not find sufficient evidence for the presence of an interaction between caffeine intake and GRIN2A and CYP1A2 polymorphisms. In Chapter 2, we found that risk scores composed of predetermined lifestyle risk factors and family history of PD was strongly associated with overall risk for men and women; we report that factors may combine to influence PD risk by interacting with each other. Our findings show that in addition to individual risk factors, there may be a complex interplay between multiple factors to potentially contribute to the neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease.

▼ Obesity is a multifaceted condition that is caused by a combination of environmental, medical and psychological factors. It is one of today’s noticeable yet neglected public health problem with serious health consequences such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases that affect individuals of all ages globally. Adolescents are particularly prone to obesity owing to their reduction in physical activity, as well as to the greater accessibility of foods void of nutritional value. Additionally, adolescents’ susceptible nature and changing bodies also contribute to their increase weights. The life course perspective postulates that, excessive body weight can persist from adolescence to adulthood, and increase the risk of NCDs. Among the adolescents, the school environment is a crucial setting for the development of and, or engagement in unhealthy dietary and physical activity behaviour. The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of obesity among Senior High School Students in the Adansi North District in the Ashanti Region. Also, the study sought to assess the physical activity levels and the food consumption pattern of the students, as well as establishing the relationship between the independent variables and obesity. A descriptive cross- sectional survey was conducted among 306 adolescents aged 12- 19 years. The adolescents were recruited from the five senior high schools in the district using stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected by the use of structured questionnaire and anthropometric data sheet to calculate for BMI levels. STATA version 11.1, and Microsoft Excel was used to analyze the data collected. Results from the chi-square test indicated that, there was a significant relationship between leisure activities and obesity such as playing computer games (x2=7.5086, df=9, p<0.05), and TV watching (x2=6.3576, df=2, p<0.05). There was no significant relationship between playing and assisting in household chores and obesity (x2=9.5706, df=7, p>0.05), (x2=7.2145, df=2, p>0.05) respectively. There was also a significant relationship between food consumption pattern and obesity (x2= 21.6181, df= 9, p< 0.05), a significant relationship was seen between mode of transportation and obesity (x2=30.6244, df=15, p<0.05) and there was a significant relationship between income level of parents and obesity (x2=8.3189, df=6, p<0.05). Overall prevalence of obesity among the adolescents was found to be 47.06%. Factors that were associated with the development of obesity were; physical inactivity levels and consumption of foods that were dense in fats and carbohydrates. Even though majority 62.75% of the respondents ate three times in a day, their meals were mainly energy dense foods and fats. Few of the respondents were found to be physically active and majority of them spent their leisure time watching TV (44.44%), whilst 23.2% spent their time playing computer games or video. Also 65.36% of the…

Medicina - Epidemiologija / Medicine - Epidemiology

Pneumonije povezane sa mehaničkom ventilacijom predstavljaju jednu od najčešćih formi intrahospitalnih infekcija u jedinicama intenzivnog lečenja. Ciljevi ove disertacije su bili da se sagledaju faktori rizika vezani za karakteristike pacijenta kao i za karakteristike i stanje na prijemu koji su od značaja za pojavu pneumonija povezanih sa mehaničkom ventilacijom. Takođe je cilj bio da se sagleda incidencija multirezistentnih sojeva patogena u bolničkim uslovima kao i efikasnost empirijske antibiotske terapije. Praćeno je 363 pacijenata koji su lečeni u Urgentnom centru Kliničkog Centra Srbije, u dve jedinice intenzivnog lečenja i koji su zahtevali mehaničku ventilaciju duže od 48 sati u periodu od 1.1.2013. do 31.12.2014. godine. Ispitivan je uticaj demografskih karakteristika, uzroka hospitalizacije i pratećih bolesti, kao i karakteristika pacijenata na prijemu u jedinice intenzivnog lečenja. Nezavisni prediktori za nastanak pneumonija povezanih sa mehaničkom ventilacijm prema multivarijantnoj regresionoj analizi su: primena masivne transfuzije na prijemu, koma, GKS manjeg od 8 i veći APACHE II skor. Pacijenti koji su razvili pneumoniju duže su boravili na mehaničkoj ventilaciji i imali su duži boravak u jedinicama intenzivnog lečenja. Intrahospitalni mortalitet je bio u ovoj grupi značajno veći kao i mortalitet 28 dana. U multivarijantnoj logističko regresionoj analizi faktor rizika za nastanak prošireno rezistentnih bakterija kao uzročnika VAP-a izdvaja se neadekvatna empirijska antibiotska terapija. Gram negativne bakterije bili su najčešće izolovani patogeni. Na osnovu rezultata ove disertacije predlaže se uvođenje protokola i mera kojima bi se delovalo na preventibilne faktore rizika radi redukcije incidencije pneumonija povezanih sa mehaničkom ventilacijom sa ciljem sprečavanja komplikacija i samanjenje mortaliteta kod traumatizovanih pacijenata u jedinicama intenzivnog lečenja.

▼ Wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is a rare, sporadic protein misfolding disorder with no validated biomarkers or specific treatments. The disease is characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils composed of wild-type transthyretin (TTR) in cardiac tissue, which leads to cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and death within 5 years. The hypothesis for the studies detailed in this dissertation was non-coding variants in the TTR gene regulatory regions impact expression and serum levels of the protein, thereby contributing to ATTRwt pathogenesis. Investigations included examination of 2 enhancer regions and the proximal promoter of the TTR gene for risk factors which could contribute to pathogenesis of ATTRwt amyloidosis. In total, 11 common and 20 rare variants were identified. The analyses demonstrated significant associations of 3 variants with increased disease risk and 4 variants with age at disease onset and/or survival. Functional studies using GFP and luciferase reporter assays in HepG2 cells were performed to examine the impact of nucleotide alterations in the TTR proximal promoter on reporter expression. Three ATTRwt-risk factors (rs3764479, rs72922940, rs3794885), caused significantly decreased reporter expression in both GFP and luciferase assays (p < 0.02). Moreover, serum TTR levels, measured by immunoturbidity and analyzed along with ATTRwt clinical data, demonstrated that lower serum TTR concentrations were associated with worse survival (hazard ratio = 0.89, p = 0.003). Follow-up analysis of an ATTRwt subset treated with diflunisal, a TTR stabilizer, showed increased serum TTR (p = 0.002) and organ improvement as assessed by cardiac biomarkers (p = 0.043). Unexpectedly, our genetic sequencing data suggested that the TTR G6S variant was disease-protective. Analysis of the TTR G6S protein using circular dichroism and aggregation assay corroborated these findings by demonstrating a higher structural stability and a lower aggregation propensity compared to L55P and V122I, two unstable amyloidogenic TTR variants. In summary, the major findings of this work were: 1) identification of genetic variants that confer risk for ATTRwt amyloidosis through changes in expression, 2) evidence in support of serum TTR as a candidate for monitoring disease progression and response to treatment, and 3) evidence suggesting that TTR G6S may confer protection from ATTRwt by slowing the amyloid cascade.

Psihologija - Kliniĉka psihologija / Psychology - Clinical psychology

Kada su u pitanju psiho-socijalna, medicinska i pravna zaštita alkoholiĉara i ĉlanova njihovih porodica, evidentan je dugogodišnji i veoma ozbiljan angaţman ne samo struĉnjaka, već i celokupne društvene zajednice. O znaĉaju alkoholizma govori i ĉinjenica da su aktuelno vodeći psihoterapijski modaliteti i modeli porodiĉnog funkcionisanja ponikli iz rada sa ovim porodicama, a broj publikacija koje ukljuĉuju pojmove alkoholizam i porodica jeste impozantan. Pa ipak, podaci savremenih, opseţnih epidemioloških studija ukazuju na to da slika o štetnim efektima alkoholizma nije umnogome promenjena (Institut za javno zdravlje „Dr Milan Jovanović-Batut, 2008; World Health Organization (WHO), 2011). Sa pozicije doprinosa naše struke prevenciji alkoholizma, veoma znaĉajnom nam se ĉinila mogućnost prouĉavanja odnosa i povezanosti obeleţja porodiĉne strukture i funkcija sa zdravljem i dobrobiti individue. Stoga je naše istraţivanje imalo za cilj da oceni koliko odreĊeni modeli porodiĉnog funkcionisanja mogu doprineti utvrĊivanju psiholoških faktora rizika prisutnih u porodicama sa problemom alkoholizma. U istraţivanju su uĉestvovale porodice ukljuĉene u sistemsku porodiĉnu terapiju, zbog alkoholizma njihovog ĉlana (otac alkoholiĉar), kao i odgovarajuća grupa porodica iz nekliniĉkog konteksta. Sistemski model porodiĉnog funkcionisanja (Beavers et al., 1990) i poslednja revizija Cirkumpleks modela (Olson, 2008), kada su posmatrani odvojeno, pokazali 6 su se podjednako efikasnim. U situaciji konkurentne primene, Biversov model pokazao je najveću vrednost, kao i skale Zadovoljstva i Komunikacije Olsonovog modela. Model porodiĉnih procesa (Skinner, 2000), jedini je uspeo da zahvati individualni varijabilitet u opaţanju porodica, ali je dao i niz rezultata koji problematizuju njegove konceptualno-metrijske osnove. Rezultati našeg istraţivanja podsećaju na nuţnost psihometrijske provere modela koje nameravamo da primenimo u praksi, posebno ukoliko dolaze sa stranih podruĉja. Iz pozicije teorije, oni su dokumentovali sloţenost procesa koncipiranja modela porodiĉnog funkcinisanja i na njima baziranih instrumenata. Sa praktiĉnog stanovišta, podaci su dali razumnu osnovu za izradu preporuka za izbor modela, u zavisnosti od zadataka koji su pred kliniĉare postavljeni (dijagnostika, terapija, edukacija).

▼ Background and Purpose: Gallstones affect up to 15% of the U.S. adult population. Women are at greater risk for cholelithiasis, especially if they are overweight, over forty years of age, or have had children. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) performed 114,653 cholecystectomy surgeries with 107,975 patients diagnosed with cholelithiasis from 2008 to 2013. Female veterans may be at even greater risk for cholelithiasis. However, research with this vulnerable population is sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine physiological and environmental risk factors that may be associated with cholelithiasis among female veterans. Study Design and Theoretical Framework: This retrospective case-control study examined the VHA electronic medical data for possible risk factors associated with cholelithiasis among female veterans. Wittenburg and Lammert’s model, describing factors contributing to cholesterol susceptibility, guided this study examining multifactorial influences that may precipitate cholelithiasis in a population of female veterans. Sample Selection: Data representing samples of ethnically-diverse female veterans over 40 years of age were retrospectively randomly selected from the VHA data between January, 2008 and December, 2013. Study data were retrieved through the Veterans Affairs Informatics and Computing Infrastructure (VINCI) system from 242 patients assigned to each of the study groups based on presence of absence of cholelithiasis diagnosis. Methods: Demographic, military service, comorbidity, and laboratory test data were analyzed for differences between the cholelithiasis and control groups. Data were further analyzed using multiple regressions to explore the relationship of risk factors to cholelithiasis occurrence. Results: Tobacco use was significantly (p< .01) higher in female veterans with cholelithiasis than those without cholelithiasis. Also higher serum cholesterol (p < .01) and hemoglobin A1c (p< .01) levels were positively associated with female veterans experiencing cholelithiasis while lower High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) blood levels were significantly related (p < .01) to cholelithiasis occurrence for the women. The women also had higher frequencies (p < .01) of hypertension and hepatitis C than those women without cholelithiasis. Results of multiple regression analysis indicated that serum cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, and HDL levels accounted for 26 % of the variance for risk in female veterans developing cholelithiasis. Also, the women with a history of hypertension and hepatitis C had 2.5 times the risk of developing cholelithiasis than those without hypertension and hepatitis C. Conclusions and Implications: Tobacco use, higher cholesterol and hemoglobin A1c levels, lower HDL levels, and a history of hypertension and hepatitis C were associated with increased risk for cholelithiasis occurrence in female military veterans.

▼ Background: Type 2 diabetes is a significant, chronic health problem in the state of Maryland and nationally. Screening and identification of its? precursor, prediabetes, has the potential to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes. Currently more than one third of the US population meets criteria for prediabetes, and 90 % are unaware of their condition. The USPSTF and ADA have published conflicting guidelines with regard to screening for prediabetes, thus leading to provider confusion and decreased screening rates. ? Purpose: The purpose of this project was to identify a single, superior guideline for prediabetes screening, in order to improve identification and, potentially, prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes in the future. ? Theoretical Framework: This project was implemented utilizing the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, in which an innovation is evaluated for adoption or rejection based upon specific components and applicability to the implementation setting. ? Methods: Data were collected weekly through patient self-surveys of ADA-identified risk factors, provider interviews and Hemoglobin A1C laboratory studies. Positive results were evaluated to determine if they would have met criteria for screening using USPSTF and ADA guidelines. ? Results: Of the 561 individuals screened, 72 met criteria for screening and 68 completed the required laboratory studies. Of those individuals, 34 results, 50%, were identified as prediabetes and four results were identified as diabetes. Of those results 18, 52.9%, of those identified as prediabetes met ADA criteria but not USPSTF criteria, and one, 2.9%, of those identified as diabetes met ADA criteria but not USPSTF criteria. In the evaluation of risk factors, first degree family history of type two diabetes was the most prevalent. It was present in 76.5% of positives. ? Conclusion and Implications: Utilizing the ADA guidelines for prediabetes screening identifies more positive results and has the potential to improve health outcomes for individuals at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. First degree family history of type 2 diabetes was the risk factor present most in positive results. No significant barriers to implementation were identified. ? Keywords: Screening Guidelines, ADA, USPSTF, prediabetes, risk factors Advisors/Committee Members: Campbell, Della.

▼ Unintentional childhood poisoning is an important public health issue. Children aged 0-4 years are often analysed together as a group for unintentional poisoning risk for statistical purposes. However, these children are quite different in terms of their physical, cognitive and self-regulatory abilities. This thesis examines the contribution of child development to poisoning risk Three population-based epidemiology studies were conducted that used age as a proxy for development and controlled for other variables that might be contributing to a young child's poisoning risk. The findings of the three age pattern studies demonstrated strong support for the contribution of child development to poisoning events. Children aged 1-3 years had the highest level of risk in all three studies and the age patterns remained stable when analysed over time and by sex, socio-economic status and remoteness of residence. These findings warranted further investigation of child development as a risk factor for unintentional poisoning in children aged 1-3 years.A case-control study was designed to investigate child development and other potential risk factors for unintentional poisoning. It employed three control groups, injured, sick and healthy, to indentify risk factors specific to unintentional poisoning. Both questionnaire and observational measures were used to assess the factors. The importance of age and the role of development in unintentional poisoning risk were highlighted by the findings of the risk factor study. Several variables were identified as contributors to poisoning events which also may reflect a younger poisoning group. The study indicated that maternal use of more positive control, accessible poison storage locations and less parenting stress all contributed to unintentional poisoning. Less close supervision was also identified as a risk factor, indicating that proximity of supervision may be important for poison prevention. The findings of these four studies demonstrated that development plays a major role in unintentional poisoning risk for children aged 1-3 years. Taken together, information regarding age patterns and risk factors for unintentional poisoning in young children may help target prevention measures and identify areas warranting further research.

▼ Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are viewed as different manifestations of the same disease process, termed venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE represents a significant source of mortality and morbidity. The first two manuscripts of this dissertation use data from two large, prospective cohort studies: the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) and the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. We followed participants, aged 45-64 years in ARIC and >=65 in CHS at baseline (1987-89 in ARIC, 1989-90 and 1992-C93 in CHS), for incident VTE (through 2011 and 2001 in ARIC and CHS, respectively). In manuscript 1, we estimated the lifetime risk and 95% confidence interval of incident VTE, using data from CHS and ARIC. We used a modified Kaplan-Meier method, accounting for the competing risk of death. We calculated that 1 in 12 middle-aged adults develop VTE in their lifetime. This estimate of lifetime risk may be useful to promote awareness of VTE and guide decisions at both clinical and policy levels. Manuscripts 2 and 3 aimed to identify and clarify novel risk factors for VTE. The etiology of VTE is not fully understood, especially in contrast to atherothrombosis. Further identification of VTE risk factors may yield pathophysiological insights into the disease that could eventually provide new prevention or treatment options. In manuscript 2, we quantified the association between orthostatic hypotension (OH) at baseline and VTE, using data from ARIC and CHS. In CHS, there was a positive association between incident VTE and OH (Hazard ratio for total VTE = 1.74 (95% confidence interval: 1.20-2.51)). In contrast, there was no association between OH and VTE in ARIC. In conclusion, community-dwelling older adults with OH have a moderately increased risk of VTE. These results were not replicated in a population-based middle-aged cohort. In manuscript 3, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the association between diabetes and VTE. We identified 19 eligible studies. The pooled relative risk for the association of diabetes with VTE was 1.10 (95% confidence interval: 0.94-1.29). This literature-based systematic review and meta-analysis supports either no association or a very modest positive one between diabetes and VTE in the general population. Diabetes is unlikely to play a major role in VTE development.

▼ Stress fractures represent one of the most common and serious overuse injuries in the military environment. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of stress fractures during 12 weeks of Basic Training (BT) by comparing the results of the intrinsic risk indicators obtained from a group of participants who suffered stress fractures, with the rest of the original group (controls) who did not suffer from any stress fractures, and to assess any changes in physical markers whilst following a progressive, scientifically designed, Physical Training (PT) Programme during the BT. The intrinsic risk factors investigated included sex, age, race (measured via questionnaire), foot morphology (wet test), Q angle, leg length discrepancy, bone density (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA), physical fitness (standardized military fitness test, isokinetic upper and lower leg strength, handgrip strength), flexibility (ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion, hip internal and external rotation), anthropometry (skinfold method and DEXA), female menstrual disturbances and lifestyle behaviours including smoking, female contraception use and medical history of previous injury (questionnaire). The cohort (n=183), also refered to as the Experimental Group (EG), was measured at the beginning and at the end of the BT period. The standardized physical fitness test was also completed in the fifth week of training. The latter’s results were compared to the results obtained by a Control Group (CG), who had undergone BT the year prior to this cohort. The size of the cohort, the intrinsic risk factor profile and the control of certain extrinsic risk factors may have contributed to zero incidences of stress fractures found. Within the intrinsic risk factor profile, sex, age, race, foot morphology, Q angle, hip external rotation and bone density were normal whilst the measured leg discrepancy and limited ankle dorsiflexion appeared to not have a sufficient risk for stress fracture development. The small sample of the cohort that reported having menstrual irregularities, smoked and had a history of previous fractures, did not place this cohort at risk for stress fracture development. The cohort did, however have lower isotonic, isokinetic and isometric strengths than the other cohorts who reported a relatively high stress fracture incidence. The BT period found statistically significant changes in bone density, flexibility, body composition, muscle strength and endurance. Female participants showed an increase in the T- and Z-scores of the left femur area, a deterioration in left ankle dorsiflexion and hip external rotation, whilst their plantarflexion increased. Their mesomorph component increased, and decreases in % body fat (BF) as well as in the ectomorph and endomorph component were also found. Male participants’ plantarflexion and hip external rotation decreased whilst their dorsiflexion increased. Lean body mass and mesomorph component increased whilst %BF, ectomorph and endomorph component decreased. The new… Advisors/Committee Members: Prof P E Kruger (advisor).

▼ Stress fractures represent one of the most common and serious overuse injuries in the military environment. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of stress fractures during 12 weeks of Basic Training (BT) by comparing the results of the intrinsic risk indicators obtained from a group of participants who suffered stress fractures, with the rest of the original group (controls) who did not suffer from any stress fractures, and to assess any changes in physical markers whilst following a progressive, scientifically designed, Physical Training (PT) Programme during the BT. The intrinsic risk factors investigated included sex, age, race (measured via questionnaire), foot morphology (wet test), Q angle, leg length discrepancy, bone density (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA), physical fitness (standardized military fitness test, isokinetic upper and lower leg strength, handgrip strength), flexibility (ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion, hip internal and external rotation), anthropometry (skinfold method and DEXA), female menstrual disturbances and lifestyle behaviours including smoking, female contraception use and medical history of previous injury (questionnaire). The cohort (n=183), also refered to as the Experimental Group (EG), was measured at the beginning and at the end of the BT period. The standardized physical fitness test was also completed in the fifth week of training. The latter’s results were compared to the results obtained by a Control Group (CG), who had undergone BT the year prior to this cohort. The size of the cohort, the intrinsic risk factor profile and the control of certain extrinsic risk factors may have contributed to zero incidences of stress fractures found. Within the intrinsic risk factor profile, sex, age, race, foot morphology, Q angle, hip external rotation and bone density were normal whilst the measured leg discrepancy and limited ankle dorsiflexion appeared to not have a sufficient risk for stress fracture development. The small sample of the cohort that reported having menstrual irregularities, smoked and had a history of previous fractures, did not place this cohort at risk for stress fracture development. The cohort did, however have lower isotonic, isokinetic and isometric strengths than the other cohorts who reported a relatively high stress fracture incidence. The BT period found statistically significant changes in bone density, flexibility, body composition, muscle strength and endurance. Female participants showed an increase in the T- and Z-scores of the left femur area, a deterioration in left ankle dorsiflexion and hip external rotation, whilst their plantarflexion increased. Their mesomorph component increased, and decreases in % body fat (BF) as well as in the ectomorph and endomorph component were also found. Male participants’ plantarflexion and hip external rotation decreased whilst their dorsiflexion increased. Lean body mass and mesomorph component increased whilst %BF, ectomorph and endomorph component decreased. The new… Advisors/Committee Members: Prof P E Kruger (advisor).

▼ Advancements in medicine and technology have led to an increasing number of cancer survivors. The development of a second primary cancer is one of the most severe sequelae of a cancer diagnosis, particularly for cancers that lack an effective screening tool as with ovarian cancer. Breast and ovarian cancer are major causes of morbidity and mortality in women; in the U.S., breast cancer has the highest incidence in women and ovarian cancer is the most fatal of gynecological cancers. Further, these two cancers have been found to co-occur. Along with possible treatment effects of the first cancer, shared risk factors, shared genetics, and interactions between these two have been hypothesized to contribute to their co-occurrence. Research on shared risk factors for second cancers is lacking and being able to identify potentially modifiable factors associated with second primary cancer could improve clinical recommendations for cancer survivors. Therefore, this dissertation examined risk factors for the development of double primary breast and ovarian cancer (DPBOC) in three parts 1) a comprehensive review of the literature to identify studies assessing risk factors for DPBOC, 2) a case-control study assessing the association between three potentially-modifiable risk factors (oral contraceptive (OC) use, parity, and breastfeeding), and risk of second primary ovarian cancer following breast cancer (BR-OV), second primary breast cancer following ovarian cancer (OV-BR), single primary ovarian cancer (OV), and single primary breast cancer (BR), and 3) a cohort study assessing OC use, parity, and breastfeeding and risk of BR-OV, OV, and BR. The comprehensive review identified few studies assessing epidemiologic risk factors for the development of DPBOC and most of the findings were not statistically significant. The majority of studies focused on treatment of breast cancer and risk of second primary ovarian cancer. While most of the findings on chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and Tamoxifen were heterogeneous and lacked statistical significance, hormone therapy for breast cancer may be associated with an increased risk of second primary ovarian cancer. The majority of studies on genetic risk factors for DPBOC looked at BRCA1/2 mutations or a crude measure of family history. Both BRCA1/2 and family history were consistently associated with risk of DPBOC, but studies varied on the extent of this risk due to differences in study design, exposure and outcome definition, and statistical power. No studies were identified examining DNA methylation and risk of DPBOC. The case-control study used data from the three clinic-based sites of the Breast Cancer Family Registry (BCFR) which consisted of women from breast and ovarian cancer families. We observed an inverse association with both OC use (OR=0.38, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.60) and breastfeeding (OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.31, 0.87) and risk of DPBOC, but a positive association with parity (≥2 full-term pregnancies: OR=5.78, 95% CI: 2.82, 14.58), regardless of diagnosis order…

▼ Background: Persistent postsurgical pain (PPP) is an increasingly recognised complication of surgery. Various putative risk factors have been identified over the last ten years. However the prevention of this phenomenon has proven difficult. I studied PPP following cardiac surgery to identify both means of prediction and prevention. Methods: With ethics committee approval, I followed up 312 patients undergoing cardiac surgery over a six-month period in our hospitals. This established pilot data and allowed power calculation for the following prospective studies: 1. Randomised controlled trial (RCT) of pregabalin alone (P) or pregabalin combined with ketamine (PK), as compared to usual care (UC) for the prevention of PPP. 2. Quantitative Sensory testing before and after surgery, to identify central nervous system changes predictive of PPP, as well as any protective effect of P and PK in the active arms. Patients were risk stratified into vulnerable and resilient phenotypes, with the use of dynamic pain assessments of Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM), Temporal Summation (TS) and Zone of Hyperalgesia (ZoH.) Results: In the observational pilot cohort, 39.7% of patients described PPP following elective first-time cardiac surgery. The age of the patient, duration of surgery and acute pain during the recovery period all seemed to act as strong predictors for the development of PPP in this cohort study. In the prospective RCT, pregabalin was protective for future PPP. The study demonstrated a significant improvement in PPP; OR= 0.11 and 0.046, for groups P and PK respectively at three months, as compared to the UC group. The addition of ketamine to pregabalin, as part of a multimodal regimen, had no significant effect on PPP outcomes in this trial. Tolerability of both drugs on the first day of treatment was an issue. As an example, NNH (Number Needed to Harm) for diplopia was equal to 6.3 and 4.5, in P and PK respectively. This failed to impact on recovery, however, with improvements in median length of stay of 1 and 1.5 days respectively (p=0.023 and 0.002.) The powerful and protective effects of pregabalin in the perioperative period are demonstrated by: 1. Increases in pressure pain threshold (PPT) at a site remote to the incision 2. Prevention of the development of new TS 3. Reduction in the zone of peri-incisional hyperalgesia The likelihood of developing PPP in any cardiac surgical patient may be predicted by a combination of the following perioperative risk factors: 1. Perioperative QST markers of new TS and increased ZoH, at the site of surgical incision, as well as decreased PPT remote to the incision. 2. Inefficiency of CPM 3. Poor preoperative quality of life, measured with EQ-5D 4. Increased levels of state anxiety and catastrophising 5. Young age 6. Surgical risk factors of increased duration of surgery and poorly managed acute pain - but not surgical technique and extent of dissection. Conclusion: This study suggests a potential to risk-stratify cardiac surgery patients and allow targeted preventive…
