As the number of older people living with HIV (PLWH) is increasing, there is an urgent need for research on community-level factors to better understand the health care needs of this population. In-depth interview transcripts of 20 older PLWH who participated in a community-based participatory research study conducted in Alabama, in the United…[Read more]

Otherwise healthy and physically active adolescents born very preterm exhibit lower exercise capacity than term-born adolescents. Despite similar baseline cardiovascular values, preterm-bo…[Read more]

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) is a rare disorder that is associated with extensive inflammation throughout the body due to a high interferon state. Common clinical manifestations of this disorder include chronic lung disease, digital necrosis, recurrent low-grade fevers, and…[Read more]

Glycated hemoglobin (Hb-A1c) and weight of the intervention group were significantly decreased after the intervention. In addition, adherence to diet and physical activity were increased.

The results of this study showed that conservation motivation theory can be used as a framework in designing educational programs to improve the diet and…[Read more]

In the current study, a soil bacterial isolate F2 expressed a significant antagonistic activity against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Aspergillus niger clinical isolate confirmed through cross streak, dual culture, and agar well diffusion methods. The isolate F2 was identified using phenotypic and molecular approaches as Alcaligenes (A.)…[Read more]

As the incidence of diabetes rises in the United States, education on diabetes prevention and management is paramount. Diabetes programs offered in churches or community settings have reported positive outcomes such as weight loss and improved glucose control. Delphi Survey technique was used to identify spiritual interventions used by faith-based…[Read more]

The equilibrium climate state is similar to the control climate from a coupled simulation with a prescribed Greenland ice sheet, indicating that the iterative procedure is consistent with a traditional spin-up approach without interactive ice sheets. These results suggest that the iterative method presented here provides a faster and…[Read more]

Postoperatively, patients reported a significant improvement in body image perception and safety was no longer their foremost concern.

Preoperatively, patients are most concerned with safety (e.g. risk) with secondary concerns of cost and pain but they were less concerned with their appearance. Postoperatively, safety is much, much less of…[Read more]

Using DuploMap-aligned PacBio circular consensus sequencing reads, an additional 8.9 Mb of DNA sequence was mappable, variant calling achieved a higher F1 score and 14 713 additional variants supported by linked-read data were identified. Finally, we demonstrate that a significant fraction of PSVs in segmental duplications overlaps with variants…[Read more]

Ventricular assist devices continue to play a significant role in the surgical management of advanced heart failure. Left ventricular assist devices in particular have seen a rapid evolution in design, technology, implantation, and outcomes. Puromycin aminonucleoside This concise review focuses on the key data that have been published in the past…[Read more]
