This study examines: 1) adolescent preferences for using asthma self-management mobile applications (apps) to interact with their friends, caregivers, medical providers, and other adolescents 2) how caregivers friends would use apps communicate the serve as sources of support management.We recruited 20 aged 12-16 years persistent asthma, (n = 20), 3) from two suburban pediatric practices in North Carolina. We gave participants iPods preloaded asked them 1 week. Adolescents provided app...
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists coordinated a complex immunization effort that developed and distributed vaccines by December 2020. This study aimed explain vaccination decision-making process inform vaccine communication with patients public. Building on quantitative research hesitancy, we conducted grounded theory study, collecting 30 qualitative interviews employees at U.S. university provided eligibility in Analysis followed Sort Sift, Think Shift method. Participants...
Self-regulation theory suggests people learn to influence their own behavior through self-monitoring, goal-setting, feedback, self-reward, and self-instruction, all of which smartphones are now capable facilitating. Several mobile apps exist manage asthma; however, little evidence exists about whether these employ user-centered design processes that adhere government usability guidelines for apps.Building upon a previous study documented adolescent preferences an asthma self-management app,...
Abstract Background and Objectives Exclusion of blood donors with hepatitis B virus (HBV) core antibodies (anti‐HBc) prevents transfusion‐transmitted HBV infection but can lead to significant donor loss. As isolated anti‐HBc positivity does not always indicate true past infection, we have investigated the effectiveness confirmatory testing representation rare groups in anti‐HBc‐positive donors. Materials Methods Three hundred ninety‐seven surface antigen‐negative initially reactive samples...
Most youth asthma apps are not designed with parent and clinician use in mind, rarely is the app development process informed by or input.
Approximately 10% of adolescents in the United States have asthma. Adolescents widely use apps on mobile phones and tablet technology for social networking gaming purposes. Given increase recreational app among adolescents, leveraging to support adolescent asthma disease management seems warranted. However, little empirical research has influenced development; users are seldom involved design process.The aim this mixed-methods study was assess preferences recommendations an self-management...
Skin cancer is the most common in United States, and men experience higher rates of skin than women. Despite publicized preventative measures, are less likely women to use sunscreen.To assess men's motivations, behaviors, preferred product characteristics towards daily sunscreen use.Cross-sectional online survey 705 men, administered July– August 2019, using Survey Monkey distributed through Amazon Mechanical Turk.Men ages 20–70, having completed at least High School/GED, living...
<h3>Aims:</h3> We hypothesized that glycemic control in outpatients, measured by HbA1c, was worse during the early months of COVID-19 pandemic than 2019. sought to quantify how much and determine if social determinants health were associated with these differences. <h3>Materials Methods:</h3> Data extracted from electronic medical records 2 cohorts patients seen family medicine clinic a southeastern academic center. Three hundred baseline HbA1c results as well May 2019 or 2020 evaluated....
Abstract Objective To develop an online suicide prevention gatekeeper training program to prepare community pharmacy staff communicate with patients who exhibit warning signs of suicide. Method A convenience sample 17 members completed a 1‐hr semi‐structured interview during which they viewed content from existing and provided suggestions for improvement. Once thematic saturation was achieved, interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, analyzed by two independent coders reached...
Patients diagnosed with COPD residing in rural areas report a lower quality of life. Telehealth addresses geographic barriers by offering routine, technology-based visits, and remote patient monitoring. The study objective was to explore adoption perceptions tele-COPD program among community members Western North Carolina (WNC) counties. A convenience sample 17 were recruited participate one five 45-min focus groups. Before the group, all participants completed brief demographic survey....
Objective: Mobile health apps hold potential to support and reinforce positive behaviours, especially among young people with chronic diseases like asthma that require continual self-management. We aimed gain feedback from adolescents on two existing self-management guide the development of an evidence- theory-based app meets their management needs. Design: A qualitative interview study was conducted persistent ( n = 20), aged 12–16. Setting: Interviews took place after individual’s clinic...
Abstract Introduction Systemic vasculitis (SV) is associated with substantial economic impact to patients and the healthcare system but little known about burden of SV on informal caregivers. We evaluated objective caregiving experienced by caregivers SV. Methods surveyed adult their physical, emotional, social impacts asked extent which they felt were a identified Caregivers reported direct indirect SV, including employment disturbance, income loss relative time investment for care...
Summary With the availability of a new highly contiguous Bos taurus reference genome assembly (ARS‐UCD1.2), it is opportune time to upgrade bovine gene set by seeking input from researchers. Furthermore, advances in graphical annotation tools now make possible for researchers leverage sequence data generated with latest technologies collaboratively curate genes. For many years Bovine Genome Database (BGD) has provided such as Apollo editor support manual curation. The goal this paper explain...
Folate is a vitamin required for cell growth and present in fortified foods the form of folic acid to prevent congenital abnormalities. The impact low folate status on life-long health poorly understood. We found that limiting levels with antagonist methotrexate increased lifespan yeast worms. then restricted intake aged mice measured various metrics, metabolites, gene expression signatures. Limiting decreased anabolic biosynthetic processes enhanced metabolic plasticity. Despite reduced...
