An exploration into the relationship of body composition parameters and survival outcomes in patients with resectable colorectal cancer
DownloadFall 2018
Both tumor biology and host-specific factors play an important role in the prognosis of colorectal cancer. Body composition is an emerging patient-specific factor, which is currently being elucidated. Opportunistic analysis of pre-existing staging computed tomography scans can be used to quantify...

COMPARISON OF CHEESE, YOGURT, AND MILK EFFECTS ON GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS AND LIVER LIPID ACCUMULATION IN MICE FED HIGH-FAT DIET
DownloadSpring 2022
Abstract Background: Many human observational studies show an inverse or neutral association between dairy consumption and the risk of diabetes. Our lab’s previous work suggests that both low and high-fat cheese consumption improves glucose homeostasis in insulin-resistant (IR), prediabetic rats....
