Individuals with a body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2 are less likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding than those BMIs<25. Given the intergenerational health benefits of breastfeeding, it is important understand behaviors their correlates among individuals BMIs≥25. Thus, in an observational cohort BMI≥25 (N = 237), we aimed characterize longitudinal relationships planning, initiation, duration sociodemographic/clinical determine if pre-pregnancy BMI predicts duration. Breastfeeding...
Dysregulations of epithelial-immune interactions frequently culminate in chronic inflammatory diseases the skin, lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. Yet, intraepithelial processes which initiate perpetuate inflammation these organs are poorly understood. Here, by utilizing redox lipidomics we identified ferroptosis-associated peroxidation polyunsaturated phosphatidylethanolamines epithelia patients with asthma, cystic fibrosis, psoriasis renal failure. Focusing on as a disease model,...
Introduction: Onychomycosis, a fungal nail infection, is associated with significant morbidity and negative impact on quality of life. Therefore, understanding risk factors may inform onychomycosis screening guidelines. Objectives: This retrospective study investigated common demographic comorbidity among hospitalized patients using the National Inpatient Sample. Methods: The 2003-2014 Sample (NIS) database was used to identify cases age sex matched controls in 1:2 ratio. Chi-square tests...
Background:Early detection of melanoma improves survival; however, patients face long wait times to receive dermatology care. Teledermatology (TD) is a promising tool optimize access care and has shown promise for the identification malignancies but not been well studied melanoma. We evaluated utility TD as triage allow high-risk lesions concern be seen more expeditiously. Methods:Patient sociodemographic factors histological characteristics 836 melanomas biopsied between March 2020 November...

Oncolytic herpes simplex viruses (oHSVs) have demonstrated efficient lytic replication in human glioblastoma tumors using immunodeficient mouse models, but early-phase clinical trials reported few complete responses. Potential reasons for the lack of efficacy are limited vector potency and suppressive glioma tumor microenvironment (TME). Here we compare oncolytic activity two HSV-1 vectors, a KOS-strain derivative KG4:T124 an F-strain rQNestin34.5v.1, CT2A GL261N4 murine syngeneic models....
Background:Implementation of teledermatology for assessing dermatitis patients provides comparable diagnostic and management outcomes to in-person visits, but studies on consumer physician asynchronous (eDerm) consults submitted by in large cohorts are limited. The objective this study was retrospectively assess associations eDerm with accuracy, management, follow-up a cohort patients. Methods:One thousand forty-five encounters between April 1, 2020, October 29, 2021, recorded the University...
