ABSTRACT Background Older adults with multiple chronic conditions face significant challenges their health. Patient Priorities Care (PPC) is an Age‐Friendly approach that explores ‘what matters’ by identifying values, care preferences, and health priorities, aligning healthcare based on patients' outcome goals. Methods priorities was implemented in four clinical settings (Hospital Home, a transitional case management program two embedded clinics within specialty settings) large academically...
Space travel induces many deleterious effects on the flight crew due to '0' g environment. The brain experiences a tremendous fluid shift, which is responsible for of detrimental changes in physical behavior seen astronauts. It therefore indicates that may undergo major its protein levels environment counteract stress. Analysis these global proteins explain better understand functioning condition. Toward such an effort, we have screened hippocampus mice kept simulated microgravity 7 days and...
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is an important etiological factor in vascular proliferative diseases such as primary atherosclerosis, hypertension, arterial and in‐stent restenosis, transplant vasculopathy. Our studies established that butyrate, a bacterial fermentation product of dietary fiber chromatin modulator, potent inhibitor VSMC proliferation. The cardiovascular health benefits high‐fiber diet, the principle source butyrate body, have been known for long time,...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether quercetin can protect against acrolein-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression using rat lung epithelial (LE) cells. LE cells were exposed 20 or 60 μM and acrolein for 24 hr. Cell viability reduced by acrolein, while the adverse effect produced acrolein. Quercetin alone at did not markedly affect cell viability. Acrolein-induced toxicity in evidenced presence inflammatory mediators. It previously reported that exposure an upregulation...
Health disparities have been defined as a particular type of health difference closely linked with social, economic and/or environmental disadvantage. The National Institute on Minority and Disparities (NIMHD) at the Institutes Health, has comprehensive portfolio grants that fund scientific research to improve racial/ethnic minority eliminate disparities. 2014 Grantees’ Conference highlighted excellence innovation in biological, environmental, sociocultural, clinical behavioral supported by...
The activity of monoamine oxidase type A (MAO-A) rat uteri is known to be modulated by sex steroids but no information available with regard benzylamine (BzAO). Thus, uterine MAO-A and BzAO activities were assayed in ovariectomized (3 weeks) plus estrogen treated rats (17 beta-estradiol, 10 micrograms/kg/day, i.p. for three days). Compared sham operated controls, (total specific) was decreased ovariectomy restored partially treatment. In contrast, not influenced selectively. Total followed...
