Barbershop-based hypertension (HTN) outreach programs for black men are becoming increasingly common, but whether they an effective approach improving HTN control remains uncertain.To evaluate a continuous high blood pressure (BP) monitoring and referral program conducted by barbers motivates male patrons with elevated BP to pursue physician follow-up, leading improved control, cluster randomized trial (BARBER-1) of was among 17 black-owned barbershops in Dallas County, Texas (March...
Barbershops constitute potential sites for community health promotion programs targeting hypertension (HTN) in black men, but such have not been evaluated previously. Here we conducted 2 nonrandomized feasibility studies to determine whether an enhanced intervention program of continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring and peer-based messaging a barbershop lowers BP more than standard screening education (study 1) can be implemented by barbers rather research personnel 2). In study 1,...
<h3>Background</h3> Hypertension (HTN) control rates in the United States remain lower black than white persons, particularly before 65 years of age. Potential sociocultural factors have not been sufficiently addressed. <h3>Methods</h3> We analyzed data from structured interviews and blood pressure measurements a population-based sample 1514 hypertensive (1194 non-Hispanic 320 white) subjects aged 18 to 64 Dallas County, Texas, 2000 2002 identify associated with low HTN control. calculated...
Background Although Chiari‐like malformation ( CM ) and syringomyelia SM have been described in many small breed dogs, the prevalence clinical manifestations of this complex not documented a large cohort American Brussels Griffon ABG dogs. Objectives To characterize magnetic resonance imaging MRI features breed. Animals Eighty‐four Kennel Club registered dogs were recruited. Methods Prospective study. Complete histories neurologic examinations obtained before . Images blindly reviewed...
There is some evidence, although conflicting, to suggest that socialization or acculturation into the gay community associated with lower levels of unsafe sex. We attempted determine relationship between and sexual safety. examined data from 282 men (from Dallas AIDS Community Demonstration Project) who had sex were not in a monogamous associations safer indices acculturation. The included regular reading local national newspapers magazines, belonging an organization for men. indicated there...
Providing efficacious human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention services to HIV-positive individuals is an appropriate strategy reduce new infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified interventions with evidence of efficacy positives (PwP). Through its process disseminating evidence-based (EBIs), CDC attempted diffuse four these into practice. One been diffused community-based organizations, whereas another medical clinics serving people. A third...
Abstract Objective —To compare the pharmacokinetics of a novel bioadhesive gel formulation midazolam after intranasal (IN) administration with that solution IN, IV, and rectal to dogs. Animals —10 (5 males 5 females) healthy adult Beagles. Procedures —Dogs were assigned 4 treatment groups for crossover study design. Initially, mg/mL) was administered (0.2 mg/kg) IV group 1, rectally 2, IN 3; 0.4% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (50 mg/kg, IN) 4. Each dog received all treatments; there 7-day...

We sought to determine degree which biomedical researchers at University Pennsylvania already consider SABV or gender their research. reviewed 240 research protocols approved by Investigational Review Board (IRB) consecutively submitted between January and July 2016....
SUMMARY The purpose of this ethnographic study was to conduct an exploratory research investigation examining the phenomenon bare-backing among men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) on Internet. researchers selected a case sample 100 MSM advertisers Internet bareback sex site assess HIV transmission risk as related serostatus, partner selection, and sexual risk-taking. data suggest that while intentionally seeking transmit or contract extremely rare, small proportion appeared be relatively...
A 3.5 yr old Saint Bernard was evaluated for nonambulatory tetraparesis and cranial nerve dysfunction, a 7 rottweiler progressive paraparesis. Clinical signs of left-sided vestibular general proprioceptive ataxia VII dysfunction in the suggested lesion affecting brain stem. Signs consisted proprioceptive/upper motor neuron paraparesis, suggesting involving third thoracic (T3) to lumbar (L3) spinal cord segments. MRI normal Bernard, but an intra-axial T13-L2 segments observed rottweiler. In...

This study compared the influence of HIV risk behaviors and condom use attitudes on among heterosexual African American males. Three models were tested: (a) risk, (b) attitudes, (c) a model combining previous two. Brief street intercept interviews administered to males in 2 matched pairs census tracts.

A 15-month-old, male neutered Japanese Chin dog was presented for evaluation of blindness and an abnormal gait first observed at 11 months age. On presentation, the periodically obtunded had cerebellar ataxia with spastic, hypermetric postural reactions. The absent menace response ventro-lateral strabismus in both eyes. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination performed a 3.0 T MRI unit1 receive-only quadrature knee coil, consisted turbo spin echo sequences T2-weighting (T2W), fluid...
