The Utah Population Database. A Model for Linking Medical and Genealogical Records for Population Health Research
Improving our understanding of the socio-environmental and genetic bases of disease and health outcomes among individuals, families, and populations over time requires extensive longitudinal data on multiple attributes for entire communities, states or nations. This requirement can be difficult to achieve. In this paper we describe a successful example of a database that meets these needs. The Utah Population Database (UPDB) is a unique and power…
Creating the Twentieth-Century Literary Archives
This article describes the unfolding idea of the literary archival collection through the early history of the Poetry Collection at the University at Buffalo (UB). The influence of founder Charles Abbott’s innovative idea on special collections libraries, literary study and pedagogy, and book history helped to change these fields in dramatic and unforeseen ways, most provocatively by insisting that materials that were once assumed by librarians, …
The Urban as Narrative
137 BOOKS IN REVIEW to be able more easily to find some of these sources oneself. Rather than accuse a fellow scholar of shoddy work, I would suggest these errors are symptomatic of the broader crisis in the humanities. There is less time and money available for editing, constructing bibliographies, and indexing, and algorithms cannot do this in a way that is truly beneficial to humans (yet). Humanistic inquiry is slow, costly, and crucial to the…
Prognostic factors for rural endometrial cancer patients in a population-based cohort
Rural endometrial cancer patients in Utah were older at diagnosis, had higher grade and higher comorbidities. While urban and rural endometrial cancer patients shared many prognostic factors, the risk of mortality is greater among rural patients with advanced stage endometrial cancer. Future studies should examine where patients are receiving treatment and how that impacts their survival and how to reduce the mortality rates of high risk patients
Diasporic Object Lessons
Within a context where Korean identity is continually suppressed, the minutiae of material life—family photographs, diary entries, letters, official government documents—gain significance where they might otherwise be overlooked. Poet and visual artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha regathers these materials to redefine boundaries in the diaspora. Against a backdrop of exile and separation from Korea, her mother tongue, and extended family, Cha interrogat…
Association of Young Maternal Age with Adverse Reproductive Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Pregnancy in adolescence is associated with an excess risk of poor outcomes, including low birth weight and prematurity. Whether this association simply reflects the deleterious sociodemographic environment of most pregnant teenagers or whether biologic immaturity is also causally implicated is not known. METHODS: To determine whether a young age confers an intrinsic risk of adverse outcomes of pregnancy, we performed stratified analy…
