爱达荷州WWAMI和IWRRI形成农药合作伙伴关系

多学科研究小组研究农药与儿童癌症之间的联系 

When second-year WWAMI Medical School 学生Camas Curran看到了一个暑期研究的机会 Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI)的工作涉及儿科肿瘤学——这是一个对她没有吸引力的医学领域——她知道她必须申请.

“我想研究一些超出我舒适和兴趣范围的东西,以帮助我成为一名全面发展的医生,” she said.

这段经历为柯伦提供了一个机会,提高了她的研究技能,加深了她对不利环境健康后果的理解.

“现在我已经与IWRRI合作,与儿科肿瘤学有了更多的个人联系. 现在对我来说,这比我刚开始的时候更有意义。.

IWRRI’s Pesticide and Pediatric Cancer Project

IWRRI, 哪个是全国54个水研究和技术中心之一, 是否正在进行西部山区癌症发病率与环境毒性的第一次综合分析. Curran, 他在默里迪恩长大,正在考虑成为一名整形外科医生, 帮助IWRRI评估爱达荷州儿童癌症与农业农药使用之间是否存在相关性. For the study, 柯伦对来自爱达荷州癌症登记处和美国地质调查局国家水质评估项目的数据进行了逐个县的交叉检验.

“Originally, 我本打算只关注蛇河地区, but I ended up examining the entire state,” Curran said.

IWRRI主任Alan Kolok对IWRRI与WWAMI之间的伙伴关系表示欢迎. 他曾担任内布拉斯加大学医学中心公共卫生学院环境健康与毒理学中心主任, 他在哪里亲眼目睹了环境健康研究如何从医学生的贡献中受益.

“我们倾向于做自己最喜欢的工作,包括我自己,”科洛克说. “但是,对365滚球官网来说,进入与不良健康结果相关的跨学科研究是一个令人兴奋的增长领域. Our university has incredible research capacity. 为了利用它,我们只需要让人们互相交谈.”

Joseph Naveen, an IWRRI post-doctoral fellow, 在项目早期就认识到了柯伦医学培训的价值. 

现在我已经在IWRRI工作了,我对儿科肿瘤学有了更多的个人联系. It’s more meaningful to me now.
Camas Curran, Idaho WWAMI medical student

“Camas对这项研究很重要,因为她有医学知识,可以帮助我们从新的角度看待我们在数据中看到的儿科癌症类型,” he said.

Camas对团队贡献的一个例子是她对IWRRI儿科癌症数据集的解释. In the datasets, which included children ages 0-19, 在15-19岁的个体中上皮癌的增加是明显的. 这种模式让IWRRI感到困惑,但对Curran来说是有意义的,因为上皮性癌症在成人中比在儿童中更常见. 

“IWRRI’s dataset did not illustrate a unique problem to Idaho; rather, 它证实了医学界广为人知的一个更大的趋势,” she said.

Post-Analysis Plans

IWRRI继续确定农药与西部山区儿童癌症之间的联系,并希望测试显著的相关性,以确认是否存在因果关系. IWRRI估计他们的分析可以在明年年底完成, 届时,他们可能能够向国家领导提供环境管理建议,以帮助保护公众健康. 

对365滚球官网来说,进入与不良健康结果相关的跨学科研究是一个令人兴奋的增长领域.
Alan Kolok, IWRRI director

柯伦即将进入医学院又一个繁重的学年, IWRRI的研究经历将有助于塑造她在医疗保健领域的职业道路.

“我们知道环境中接触毒素会对健康产生不利影响, 但在观察病人的症状时,这可能不是首先想到的,” she said. “I don’t need to be a water resources expert, 但是和这样的人一起工作是很有趣的,这样我们就可以互相分享我们的观点. 我想这段经历会伴随我整个医疗生涯.”
