▼ 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.

▼ Stroke is a devastating, neurological dysfunction due to brain blood supply disturbance. It is responsible for increasingly high rate of mortality and disability worldwide. This thesis comprises two original studies involving 868 patients at risk of ischemic stroke and/or hemorrhagic stroke. The first study investigated aspirin’s effect among patients with intracranial hemorrhage. Unlike Caucasians which hemorrhagic strokes account for 10-15% of all strokes; in Chinese, intracranial hemorrhages strike up to 35%. After such, anti-platelet agent like aspirin is often avoided for fear of recurrent intracranial hemorrhages, despite compelling indications. However, clinical data is limited. In this single-centered observational study, we included 440 consecutive Chinese patients with a first spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage surviving the first month performed during 1996-2010. 56 patients (12.7%) of these 440 patients were prescribed aspirin after intracranial hemorrhage (312 patient-aspirin years). After a mean follow-up of 62.2 ± 1.8 months, 47 patients had recurrent intracranial hemorrhage(10.7%, 20.6 per 1,000 patient years). Patients prescribed aspirin did not have higher risk of recurrent intracranial hemorrhage compared with those without (22.7 per 1,000 patient-aspirin years vs. 22.4 per 1,000 patient years, p=0.70). Multivariate analysis identified age > 60 years and hypertension as independent predictors for recurrent intracranial hemorrhage. In a subgroup analysis: the incidence of combined vascular events including recurrent intracranial hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, and acute coronary syndrome was statistically lower in patients prescribed aspirin than without (52.4 per 1,000 patient-aspirin years, vs. 112.8 per 1,000 patient-years, p=0.04). Implications of the results: despite having a substantial risk for recurrent intracranial hemorrhage, post-intracranial hemorrhage ones are at risk for thrombotic vascular events and management goal should thus focus on ameliorating overall cardiovascular risk instead of preventing recurrent intracranial hemorrhage. Hence, thrombo-prophylaxis should still be considered. The second study investigated the relation between premature atrial complexes and new-onset atrial fibrillation together with other cardiovascular events. Premature atrial complexes though taken as benign phenomenon, are common in patients with underlying conditions such as coronary heart disease, chronic rheumatic heart disease. While prompt management of atrial fibrillation may prevent ischemic stroke, atrial fibrillation is often unfound until ischemic stroke occurs. In this study, 428 patients without atrial fibrillation but complained of palpitations, dizziness or syncope were recruited. 107 patients with >100 premature atrial complexes/day were defined to have frequent premature atrial complexes. After a mean follow-up of 6.1 ±1.3 years, 31 patients (29%) with frequent premature atrial complexes developed atrial fibrillation compared with 29 patients (9%) with premature atrial complexes?100/day… Advisors/Committee Members: Siu, DCW, Tse, HF.

▼ 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. Keywords: Cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, security officer Advisors/Committee Members: Stephens, J.K (advisor).

▼ 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).

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.

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).

▼ 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.

▼ Type-2 diabetes is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases globally. The prevalence has increased rapidly in both developed and developing countries. Type-2 diabetes has become epidemic in China in the past three decades. With a relatively low obesity prevalence compared to western countries, such as the United States, the question has arisen as to why people in China are so susceptible to diabetes, but few studies have answered this question definitively. Asians have lower muscle mass than Caucasians which could be one possible explanation. This study aims to test the hypothesis that pubertal muscle mass acquisition, under the influence of testosterone, may be a risk factor for diabetes. This study recruited from the population-representative Chinese “Children of 1997” birth cohort with 8327 participants (88% of all infants born in April and May 1997) in Hong Kong. Participants were aged 15 years at the time of this study. The main objective was to examine the association of pubertal muscle mass with diabetes risk factors, and to examine determinants of pubertal muscle mass in this non-western setting. In June to August 2012, 502 participants from “Children of 1997” were recruited to complete a health assessment follow up at the Active Health Clinic in University of Hong Kong, including a questionnaire, blood tests and a physical examination. Multivariable linear regression was used to assess the associations of: (1) testosterone and pubertal muscle mass with diabetes risk factors, including fasting glucose, fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment -insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and any mediation of the association of testosterone with diabetes risk factors by pubertal muscle mass, and (2) environmental influences, including intergenerational influences, proxied by mother’s place of birth, and current life style influences (meat consumption and physical activity), with pubertal muscle mass. Higher pubertal testosterone was associated with lower fasting glucose (-0.008, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.015 to -0.002), fasting insulin (-0.44, 95% CI -0.57 to -0.31) and HOMA-IR (-0.090, 95% CI -0.12 to -0.063) after adjusting for potential confounders, i.e, sex, birth weight, highest parental education, mother’s place of birth and physical activity. The association was partially mediated by skeletal muscle mass and body fat percentage. Skeletal muscle mass was negatively associated with fasting glucose (-0.017, 95% CI -0.025 to -0.009), insulin (-0.876, 95% CI -1.033 to -0.719), and HOMA-IR (-0.180, 95% CI -0.214 to -0.147) after adjusted for potential confounders. High meat consumption (0.176, 95% CI 0.000 to 0.351) and physical activity (0.157, 95% CI 0.059 to 0.254) were both associated with higher skeletal muscle mass in adolescents; however birth weight and mother’s place of birth had no influence on pubertal skeletal muscle composition. Higher pubertal muscle mass and testosterone are association with better glucose metabolism in adolescence. Food intake and physical activity may also…

▼ Background: The epidemic of childhood obesity is of increasing public health concern, with major implications for long-term health. Prevention strategies are urgently needed. Most of the evidence concerning risk factors for childhood obesity comes from observational studies, mainly from Western populations. In the West, socio-economic position (SEP) is often associated with potential risk factors and with childhood obesity, making these observational studies open to residual confounding. Evidence from a setting with a different confounding structure can be valuable in disentangling whether associations observed in Western settings reflect potentially reversible causal effects of risk factor or are confounded by SEP. Objectives: This thesis took advantage of a large (n=8327), population-representative Chinese birth cohort from a developed non-Western setting, Hong Kong, where the confounding structure between potential risk factors and childhood obesity is different, to examine the association of four modifiable risk factors (mode of delivery, the timing of solid food introduction, type of child care and dairy product consumption) with adiposity from infancy to early puberty. Methods: Adiposity from infancy to early puberty was proxied by age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI) standardized scores (z-scores) from 3 months to 13 years, relative to the 2006 World Health Organization (WHO) child growth standards for 0-5 years and the 2007 WHO growth reference for 5-19 years. Overweight (including obesity) was defined according to International Obesity Task Force cut-off. I compared three marginal models (maximum likelihood estimation, generalized estimating equations and quantile regression) to ascertain the optimal way of modeling the population-averaged association of early life risk factors with BMI z-score because of the complex data structure with inevitably some missing data. All three methods were used to examine the adjusted associations of mode of delivery and the timing of solid food introduction with BMI z-score from infancy to early puberty and with overweight (including obesity) from early childhood to early puberty. Multivariable linear and logistic regression were used to examine the adjusted associations of the type of child care at 6 months, 3 years, 5 years and 11 years with BMI z-score and overweight (including obesity) at 13 years, and the association of dairy product consumption at 11 years with BMI z-score at 13 years. Results: My analyses were robust to the choice of marginal model. Mode of delivery, the timing of solid food introduction and dairy product consumption were not associated BMI z-score or overweight (including obesity), but informal child care was associated with higher BMI z-score and overweight at early puberty. Conclusions: In this population-representative birth cohort from an understudied non- Western developed setting with little patterning of childhood adiposity by SEP, informal child care (by family members and/or in-home employed help) may be a target for… Advisors/Committee Members: Schooling, CM, McGhee, S.

Introduction: China experienced and shouldered a great burden of the 2009 influenza pandemic. However, little is known about the risk factors for influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection in general population of mainland China. Objective: To assess risk factors associated with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 seroconversion among general population in Southern China. Method: A household-based cohort study was conducted in Guangzhou, applied multistage random sampling across space and social gradient. Socio-demographic data and serum specimens of eligible participants were collected by face-to-face interview after December 2009. Haemagglutination inhibition assay was performed to measure the titre against A(H1N1)pdm09. Seroconversion was defined as a four-fold or greater increase in titre level between the paired serum specimens. A generalised estimating equation model was applied to identify risk factors, considering the household clustering. Results: Between December 2009 and May 2012, paired sera of 1016 participants from 608 households were collected and tested. The overall seroconversion rate of the almost unvaccinated cohort was 13.1% (95% CI, 11.0-15.2). Participants under 50 years old were at higher risk of seroconversion than participants aged 60 or over. The odds ratio (OR) for participants of aged 40-49, aged 30-39, aged 20-29 and aged 2-19 were 2.10 (95%CI, 1.07-3.25), 2.93 (95%CI, 1.36-6.28), 3.09 (95%CI, 1.47-6.52) and 2.65 (95% CI, 1.17-6.01), respectively. Residents from Luogang district were less likely to seroconvert (OR=0.41; 95% CI 0.22-0.77). Highest monthly household income group (>6,000 RMB) resulted in a lower risk of seroconversion too (OR=0.25; 95%CI, 0.08-0.78). Conclusion: Even in the post-epidemic period, a higher proportion of general population of mainland China remained susceptible to influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. Younger people had higher risk of seroconversion than the elderly, whereas, people from higher monthly household income group and being a resident of Luogang district were at lower risk of seroconversion. These findings suggested a significant implication in the preparedness of future pandemic.

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent female cancer in both developed and developing world which comprising 16% of all female cancer according to WHO GLOBOCAN 2008. The statistic from Hong Kong Cancer Registry reported that breast cancer is the third commonest cause of female death in Hong Kong. Breast cancer incidence varies remarkably among developed countries. The high dietary consumption of soy isoflavones has been hypothesized to explain the lower breast cancer incidence among women in Asian countries in observational studies, but whether soy isoflavones exert estrogenic or anti-estrogenic in breast tissue remains uncertain. Objective: This systematic review was to assess the effects of isoflavone-rich soy consumption on breast cancer risk in pre- and post-menopausal women Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for conducting and reporting randomized controlled trials were followed. Data sources: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials was conducted through searching databases: MEDLINE, PubMed and Cochrane Library (2002 until March 2012). Keywords for electronic searches included: [(soy OR isoflavones) AND (breast cancer OR breast neoplasms)] limited study types to human & randomized controlled studies. Study selection: RCTs of the effects of isoflavones or supplement versus placebo or control diet among pre- and post-menopausal participants who were currently free from breast cancer. Outcome measurements: serum sex hormones and IGF profile, mammographic density and menstruation cycle length Results: 15 RCTs (1527 women) compared isoflavones with placebo or control diet for study duration ranged from 2 months to 2 years. No significant effect was found on serum sex hormones, IGF profile, mammographic density or menstrual cycle length. The effect of menstrual cycle on mammographic densities was noticed. Conclusion: The results of the systematic review did not support the hypothesis that short-term isoflavones exposure has an effect on modulating breast cancer risk. The effect of menstrual cycle on mammographic densities probably reflects the effect of hormonal changes. Null results did not necessarily contradict the inverse association between soy intake and breast cancer risk from the results of epidemiologic studies. The absence of conclusive data on the effects might be attributable to the insufficient exposure duration in the RCTs. Longer duration of soy exposure and early life exposure might be a scope for future research.

A number of risks have been proposed in the literature to be associated with hyperfunctional voice disorder (HVD), one of the most common communication disorders. Yet, it is not distributed randomly in the population, certain population groups are at higher risks of developing voice disorders. It is generally agreed that the development of voice disorders involves a multifactorial genesis. The study of risks has been documented in different diseases and also in the World Health Report (W.H.O., 2002). The probabilistic approach has been recommended to effectively manage the likelihood of health outcome in relations to disease development (Tonetti, 1988) and systematically devise prevention and intervention programs targeting population at risk. Yet, in the study of the development of HVD, the lack of a universally agreed theoretical framework prohibited the establishment of such structure and research on advancement on preventive programs. The present thesis aimed to investigate the adoption of the FMAT risk assessment framework based on the probabilistic approach (WHO) to the field of hyperfunctional voice disorders. A Voice Risk Calculator (VRC) Questionnaire was developed focusing on the vocal loading, physiological/medical and psycho-emotional indicators and all subjects completed this questionnaire. The VRC Questionnaire was then validated based on the FMAT framework using a cross-sectional study was used to identify risk indicators associated with HVD development in the local population and a longitudinal study was employed to validate these risk indicators as risk factors. A total of 192 Cantonese-speaking subjects participated in the cross-sectional study including 123 dysphonic subjects and 69 non-dysphonic control subjects and 7 in the longitudinal study. Instrumental measurements including the voice range profile, aerodynamic measurements and the Voice Activity and Participation Profile (VAPP, Ma & Yiu, 2001) were also used as part of the validation procedure. The findings showed that significant differences were found between the dysphonic and non-dysphonic group in the cross-sectional study based on results from the instrumental measurements protocol. A minimal set of selected VRC questionnaire items were also determined (Items 1, 3, 25 and somatization scale) to differences between the subject groups in this study. Thus a set of locally-applicable risk indicators have been suggested. Yet, only minimal changes have been detected in a high-risk group targeted in the longitudinal study. Research (Beck, 1994) indicated that disease progression takes over a time frame of at least more than two years. Thus the small subject size and temporal element of the longitudinal study in the present thesis limited research aim to be achieved. Nonetheless that first phase of the FMAT framework for hyperfunctional voice disorders have been established in the current study and a finalized version of the Voice Risk Calculated Questionnaire has been developed for future research.

▼ 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…

INTRODUCTION: Stroke is a major challenge facing medicine with an alarming statistics of being the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of physical disability worldwide. Recognition and management of risk factors remain key to reducing morbidity and mortality from stroke. OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this project was to conduct a retrospective study to assess stroke outcomes among stroke patients at KATH for the years 2006 and 2007. METHODS/ DESIGN: A retrospective descriptive study involving review of adult stroke patients records on; age, sex, length of hospital stay, outcome of management (dead/alive), socio-demography, blood pressure on admission and before discharge or death, patient’s knowledge of his/her hypertension status and the most common presenting features. DATA ANALYSIS STATISTICAL METHOD Data was first entered in excel 2003 and transported into Epi info version 3.4.1 for further statistical analysis. RESULTS: Stroke constituted 1.3% of total hospital admissions and 6.3% of total hospital deaths within the period under review, 9.1% of total medical adult admissions and 13.2% of the total medical adult mortality were ascribed to stroke. A total of 1,050 cases made up of 537 (51.1%) males and 513 (48.9%) females were involved. 456(43.4%. 95% CI = 40.4%-46.5%) patients died from stroke of which 244 (53.5%) were men (RR= 1.10. 95% CI = 0.96-1.26).The peak age was 66-75 years representing 274 (26.1%) of stroke cases. The mean age of those who died was higher than that of those who survived (65.37 years versus 62.38 years).The average length of hospital stay of those who died was lower than that of those who survived (5.13 days versus 7.07). Hemiplegia/hemiparesia and hypertension were topmost on the list of most commonly presenting features. Fifty-four patients (18%. 95% CI = 13.8%–22.8%) had previous episode of stroke. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Stroke is an important health problem affecting both males and females with hypertension as a major risk factor. Majority of stroke victims belong to the active segment of the population. Attention needs to be focused on patients, health personnel and public education with the intention of reducing as many modifiable risk factors as possible to stop the weakening of the country’s labor force by the disease and to forestall premature deaths.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.
