examined the cardiac autonomic response to daily variations in PM 26 elderly (mean age 81) individuals for 3 consecutive weeks. Several standardized methods were used measure 24-hr average concentrations prior clinical test inside (indoor PM2.5) and immediately outside (outdoor PM2.5 PM2.5-10) of participants' residences. Resting, supine, 6-min R wave (R-R) interval data collected estimate high frequency (0.15-0.40 Hz) low (0.04-0.15 powers standard deviation normal R-R intervals (SDNN) as...
To relate cardiac autonomic function measured by heart rate variability (HRV) with prevalent and incident hypertension at the population level, authors examined a stratified random sample of 2,061 examinees from biracial Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) cohort. Baseline, supine, resting beat-to-beat data were collected. High frequency (HF, 0.15 to 0.35 Hz), low (LF, 0.025 Hz) spectral powers, LF/HF ratio, estimated analysis, standard deviation all normal RR intervals (SDNN),...
To examine the prevalence and sociodemographic health-related correlates of substance use, including alcohol, tobacco, nonmedical drug in adults aged 65 older.Cross-sectional, retrospective survey a population-based sample, 2001/02 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol Related Conditions.United States.Eight thousand two hundred five U.S. older.Prevalence lifetime previous-12-month use associations between factors.Almost 80% older had used any three substances over their lifetimes, more...
IMU rotation of an inertial navigation system (INS) can bound the free propagation INS error introduced by drifts sensors. The scheme will directly affect accuracy, structure and costs system. A reasonable should remove most errors arising from sensors, at same time, not introduce other additional errors. First, this paper discusses design analysis approach based on equations INS. Then, a conventional 8-position is analyzed for applications optical gyro INS, its drawbacks are discussed in...
This study focused on examining the exact role of circulating immune cells in development diabetic retinopathy (DR). In vitro co-culture experiments showed that peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs) from patients with type 1 DR crucially modulated biological functions human retinal microvascular endothelial (HRMECs), consequently disrupting their normal functionality. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed unique differentially expressed genes and pathways among healthy controls,...
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the impact of patient characteristics and source care on differences between whites Latinos in use quality depression treatment managed primary settings. METHODS: Data were for 1,175 patients (398 777 whites) 46 practices who screened positive probable depressive disorder. Patient baseline assessments used to compile sociodemographic clinical derive variables receipt any that met minimum guidelines (antidepressant or specialty counseling) past six months....
Some patients will experience more or less benefit from treatment than the averages reported clinical trials; such variation in therapeutic outcome is termed heterogeneity of effects (HTE). Identifying HTE necessary to individualize treatment. The degree which sought and analyzed correctly general medical literature unknown. We undertook this sample track use analyses over time, examine appropriateness statistical methods used, explore predictors analyses. Articles were selected through a...
To examine whether a multi-faceted intervention among older at-risk drinking primary care patients reduced and alcohol consumption at 3 12 months.Randomized controlled trial.Three sites in southern California.Six hundred thirty-one adults aged ≥ 55 years who were drinkers identified by the Comorbidity Alcohol Risk Evaluation Tool (CARET) assigned randomly between October 2004 April 2007 during an office visit to receive booklet on healthy behaviors or including personalized report, aging,...
Objective Hypoadiponectinemia contributes to the development of obesity and related disorders such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular diseases. In this study we investigated effects green tea polyphenols (GTPs) on adiponectin levels fat deposits in high (HF) fed rats, mechanism signaling pathway was explored well. Methods Results Male Wistar rats were with high-fat diet. GTPs (0.8, 1.6, 3.2 g/L) administered via drinking water. Serum insulin measured by ELISA, mRNA PPARγ visceral...
Abstract Objective The Mental and Substance Use Disorders Prevalence Study (MDPS) builds upon previous epidemiologic studies to provide estimates of prevalence treatment rates mental substance use disorders among adults aged 18–65 in the U.S. study background methods are described. Method MDPS employed novel techniques such as inclusion household, prison, homeless state psychiatric hospital populations, a semi‐structured clinical interview administered by trained interviewers assess...
Objectives To understand characteristics of older at‐risk drinkers and reasons why they decide to change or maintain their alcohol consumption. Design Secondary analysis data from a randomized controlled trial reduce drinking in drinkers. Setting Three primary care sites southern C alifornia. Participants Six hundred thirty‐one adults aged 55 who were at baseline, 521 whom completed 12‐month assessment. Measurements Sociodemographic alcohol‐related assessment completers noncompleters among...
HIV-1-infected persons spontaneously controlling viremia without treatment (SCV) are rare. Sex and race effects on prevalence outcome poorly defined, it is unclear whether SCV qualitatively or quantitatively differs from typical infection. These issues examined in this article.Medical records of 46 524 receiving outpatient care for HIV-1 infection were reviewed. Of these, 29 811 had adequate testing screening.SCV was defined as at least three consecutive plasma measurements <50 RNA copies/ml...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common and fourth leading cause of cancer‑associated mortalities worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) serve important roles in tumor development, progression metastasis. miR‑221 has been reported to modulate proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution migration a variety cancers. However, function autophagy unclear. In present study, role CRC cells was investigated its associated target identified. Survival analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas...
Background The agreement on the identification of sarcopenic obesity remains elusive, and its association with hyperuricemia unestablished. This study sought to evaluate low lean mass (LLM) correlation hyperuricemia. Methods A total 25,252 participants, comprising 4,597 individuals hyperuricemia, were obtained from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey spanning years 1999–2006 2011–2018. LLM was characterized by coexistence LLM, determined ratio appendicular body index (BMI), three...
