Widespread habitat degradation and uncharacteristic fire, insect, disease outbreaks in forests across the western United States have led to highly publicized calls increase pace scale of forest restoration. Despite these calls, we frequently lack a comprehensive understanding restoration needs. In this study demonstrate new approach for evaluating where, how much, what types are needed move present day landscape structure towards Natural Range Variability (NRV) eastern Washington, Oregon,...
Large-volume paracentesis is a safe and effective means of treating patients with refractory ascites. However, there limited information regarding the need for ascitic fluid studies in asymptomatic outpatients presenting therapeutic paracentesis. The aim this prospective study was to define incidence natural history peritoneal infection undergoing paracentesis.Over 13-month period, 118 paracenteses were performed 29 decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class B = 38%, C 62%). After brief...
Management to increase reproductive success is commonly used aid recovery of threatened and endangered species. The Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus) breeds from coastal Washington, USA, Baja California, Mexico, in disjunct interior sites. Pacific coast population federally listed as Threatened; habitat loss nest a suite terrestrial avian predators are thought be primary factors limiting growth this In Oregon, consortium state federal management agencies deployed exclosures...
Ecological departure, or how much landscapes have changed from a natural range of variation (NRV), has become key metric in forest planning and restoration efforts. In this study we define need as the specific change structural stage abundance necessary to move into NRV. While most projects forested ecosystems Pacific Northwest, USA (Oregon Washington) embraced paradigm, our understanding what treatments apply where, when, at magnitude is evolving continues be refined. We build on body...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Research on the association between <i>Propionibacterium acnes</i> in disc space and type 1 Modic changes adjacent vertebrae is limited has produced mixed results. The prevalence of bacteria intervertebral discs contradicts prior understanding that skeletal areas human anatomy are sterile; yet it opens new treatment possibilities. We investigated relationship <i>P cervical spine. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> Over a 36-month period, we collected intraoperative...
Abstract We determined lactic acid levels by the dehydrogenase method in synovial fluid of 41 patients with various rheumatic diseases, to test concept that significantly elevated values were diagnostic septic arthritis. Nine had arthritis, 15 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and remainder miscellaneous conditions. In another 9 different including 1 was both gas‐liquid chromatography methods. There a wide scatter among nonseptic inflammatory much overlap occurred. could not differentiate from RA...
Abstract Population declines of the federally endangered Lost River sucker Deltistes luxatus and shortnose Chasmistes brevirostris have been linked to several factors, including loss larval nursery habitat associated with lake fringe riparian wetlands. Restoration deltaic wetlands in Williamson delta, Oregon, is regarded as one strategy that may increase survival. This study examined presence, growth, development, feeding pilot restoration at delta determine whether wetland provides...

From 1995–1998 we studied the breeding ecology of Yellow Rails (Coturnicops noveboracensis) in southcentral Oregon. We found 34 Rail nests; 26 had either hatched or failed when found, and eight were active (seven these hatched). These nests first Oregon 65 years further substantiate recent findings that a small, disjunct population persists west Rocky Mountains. Nests between 8 June 9 August with mean clutch size eggs (SD = 1.1). measured vegetation 1-m2 plots around each nest. Total live...
OBJECTIVE: Our study was a randomized, controlled trial to assess novel strategy that provides comprehensive colorectal cancer screening in single visit versus traditional sigmoidoscopy and, where appropriate, colonoscopy on subsequent day. METHODS: Consecutive patients referred for were randomized control or so-called “conversion” groups. Patients the group prepared with oral phospho-soda. Those an abnormal scheduled future day after polyethylene glycol preparation. In conversion group,...
Intensive surveys to locate greater sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) were conducted in Oregon 1986 and California 1988. We recorded 1223 pairs, 947 Oregon, 276 765 nonbreeding cranes. Breeding pair numbers indicated breeding have remained mostly stable during the past 15 years, but some decreases noted at localized areas. pairs increased 52So between 1971 Seventy-two percent of nested on private land, 28So federal state lands. The Central Valley population breeds southeast...

5083 Background: PSA-TRICOM (Prostvac) is a vector-based vaccine designed to generate robust immune response (IR) against PSA–expressing tumor cells. To date, studies of Prostvac in patients with mCRPC have shown IR peripheral blood but effects on prostate tumors are unknown. Methods: An open label phase 2 study neoadjuvant (NCT02153918) enrolled (pts) localized cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP). Priming vaccination was given followed by boosts days 15, 29 and 57 prior RP (~day...
