To examine the agreement between depression symptoms using an assessment tool (PHQ-9), and physician documentation of same during a clinic visit, then to how presence these affects diagnosis in primary care settings. Interviewer administered surveys medical record reviews. A total 304 participants were recruited from 2321 screened for at two large urban community Of positive 75.3% (n = 229) significantly depressed (PHQ-9 score ≥ 10). these, 31.0% diagnosed by with depressive disorder. 57.6%...
Introduction. Telemedicine is promoted as a means to increase access specialty medical care among the urban underserved, yet little known about its acceptability these populations. We used components of diffusion innovation conceptual framework analyze preexperience perceptions telemedicine assess appeal underserved African Americans and Latinos. Methods. Ten focus groups were conducted with American ( 𝑛 = 4 3 ) Latino participants in both English Spanish analyzed for key themes. Results....
To identify risk factors for the development of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, we compared 111 patients with long-standing insulin-dependent diabetes who had retinopathy (cases) 81 similar duration (an average 26 years) did not have (controls). The cases that was more difficult to manage, as evidenced by their frequent blood sugar levels above 200 mg per deciliter (11 mmol liter) on routine clinic visits (odds ratio, 1.6 each increment 10 cent in relative frequency), and they expended...
The Grid2003 Project has deployed a multivirtual organization, application-driven grid laboratory (Grid3) that sustained for several months the production-level services required by physics experiments of Large Hadron Collider at CERN (ATLAS and CMS), Sloan Digital Sky Survey project, gravitational wave search experiment LIGO, BTeV Fermilab, as well applications in molecular structure analysis genome analysis, computer science research projects such areas job data scheduling. infrastructure...
This study applied a well-known, recently revised theoretical model of healthcare access and utilization, the Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations, to examine relationship between care utilization eye services among multiethnic, predominately minority sample residents from low-income public housing.Population-based, cross-sectional survey community sample.Urban Public Housing Communities in Los Angeles County, California.A geographically defined stratified random 152 (86% Latino or...
The epidermal nevus syndrome is a neurocutaneous disorder characterized by distinctive skin lesions and often serious somatic central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities. We observed four cases of this with nevi neurologic manifestations, including mental retardation, seizures, ophthalmologic abnormalities, intracranial aneurysm, porencephalic cyst. A review 60 reported the our experience suggest that CNS complications are more likely to be associated on head abnormalities most ipsilateral lesion.
This study explores perceptions about telemedicine among urban underserved African American and Latino populations. Telemedicine has been advanced as a vehicle to increase access specialty care the underserved, yet little is known its acceptability these We conducted 10 focus groups with participants (n = 87) in Los Angeles order explore this novel type of care. found that concerns varied between two racial/ethnic groups. These findings have implications for important issues such adoption...
Purpose and Scope To produce a Spanish/English animated video about diabetes; to qualitatively assess cultural linguistic appropriateness; test effectiveness at improving diabetes health literacy among Latino/Hispanics. Methods Participatory research animation production methods guided development of the video. Cultural appropriateness was assessed through focused discussion group methods. A prospective randomized controlled trial tested Spanish version literacy, compared “easy read”...
Academic health centers (AHCs) in the United States have had a leading role educating medical workforce, generating new biomedical knowledge, and providing tertiary quaternary clinical care. Yet status of U.S. population lags behind almost every other developed world economy. One reason is that care system not organized optimally to address major driver status, social determinants (SDOH). The States’ overall poor reflection dramatic disparities exist between communities groups, these are...
Pregnancy is associated with a significant increase in uteroplacental blood flow (UBF), which responsible for delivering adequate nutrients and oxygen fetal placental growth. The present study was designed to determine the effects of vascular insufficiency on Thirty-nine late-term pregnant ewes were instrumented investigate chronic UBF reduction. Animals split into three groups based uterine flow, all animals killed gestational day 138. UBF, began at 851 ± 74 ml/min ( n = 39), increased...
The objective of this study was to describe the development a primary care medical student's thesis.In 1995, as part its clerkship, Charles R.

For study, we reviewed all student projects generated between 1995 2004.Among 112 projects, topics covered included internal medicine (29.5%), obstetrics...
A prospective, randomized, double-masked, and placebo controlled study was performed to examine the effects of topically applied mitomycin on success full thickness filtration surgery in 23 rabbits. Both eyes each rabbit had by same surgeon. After surgery, experimental eye received a single subconjunctival injection (0.2 mg), 50 microliters 0.2 mg/cc solution four time daily. The fellow control were treated with sterile water. mean intraocular pressure reduction from baseline exhibited...
A total of 533 diabetic individuals using the Marshall, Minn, medical care system were identified as potential subjects for a study unrecognized eye disease. Of these, 172 (32%) stated they had never an ophthalmologic examination and subsequently defined being at high risk Ophthalmic was performed on 145 (84%) these high-risk revealed that 61% clinical characteristics consistent with retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract, or other abnormalities.
