In vivo experiments were performed on control rats diabetic treated with or without low dose of AR inhibitor (ARI) fidarestat (2 16 mg · kg−1 day−1). vitro studies bovine cells (BREC) cultured either 5 30 mmol/l glucose 1 μmol/l fidarestat.

The current paper presents a lifespan model of ethnic-racial identity (ERI) from infancy into adulthood. We conceptualize that priming during prompts nascent awareness ethnicity/race becomes differentiated across childhood and through propose the components ERI have been tested to date fall within five dimensions lifespan: awareness, affiliation, attitudes, behaviors, knowledge. Further, evolves in bidirectional process informed by an interplay influencers (i.e., contextual, individual,...
Abstract Background In recent years public health research has shifted to more strengths or asset-based approaches but there is little understanding of what this concept means Indigenous researchers. Therefore our purpose was define an strengths-based approach and well-being research. Methods Using Group Concept Mapping, researchers ( N = 27) participated in three-phases. Phase 1: Participants provided 218 unique responses the focus prompt “Indigenous Strengths-Based Health Wellness...

Indigenous youth suicide remains a substantial health disparity in circumpolar communities, despite prevention efforts through primary care, public campaigns, school systems, and social services. Innovations practice move away from expert-driven approaches to emphasize local control processes that utilize research evidence, but privilege self- determined action based on personal contexts, meanings, frameworks for action. "Promoting Community Conversations About Research End Suicide" is...
Chandler and Lalonde broadened the scope of inquiry in suicide research by providing theoretical grounding empirical support for role community, culture, history understanding Indigenous youth reimagining its prevention. Their work pushed field to consider intersectional process individual collective meaning-making prevention suicide, together with central culture plays bringing coherence this over time. innovation shifted focus include shared histories, contexts, structures meaning that...
Abstract Background Orofacial clefts (OFC) have multifactorial aetiology. Established risk factors explain a small proportion of cases. Objectives To evaluate OFC by maternal rural residence and race/ethnicity, test whether these associations changed after US‐mandated folic acid fortification. Methods This population‐based case‐control study included all non‐syndromic cases among Washington State singleton livebirths between 1989‐2014 birth year‐matched controls. Data sources certificates...
Abstract While implementation and dissemination of research is a rapidly growing area, critical questions remain about how, why, under what conditions everyday people integrate utilize evidence. This mixed‐methods study investigates how participants Promoting Community Conversations About Research to End Suicide (PC CARES) make sense use evidence suicide prevention in their own lives. PC CARES health intervention addressing the need for culturally responsive practices rural Alaska through...
Because suicide is deeply connected to local, historical and relational contexts, effective prevention strategies must balance maintaining fidelity of evidence-based practices adapting for the unique needs diverse communities. Promoting Community Conversations About Research End Suicide (PC CARES) builds capacity local people in close-knit rural Alaska Native communities take preventative actions based on existing relationships, roles, priorities. In a series learning circles, community...
Abstract Background Suicide is a serious and growing health inequity for Alaska Native (AN) youth (ages 15–24), who experience suicide rates significantly higher than the general U.S. population. In low-resourced, remote communities, building on local cultural resources found in AN communities to increase uptake of prevention behaviors like lethal means reduction, interpersonal support, postvention can be more effective at preventing risk-referral process. This study expands variables we...
Abstract Community-based and culturally grounded research, led by Indigenous scholars, is critical for the prevention intervention of health risks such as substance use misuse in communities. However, scholars encounter numerous adversities to success academia.

This paper presents how a community mobilization program to prevent suicide was adapted an online format accommodate the impossibility of in-person delivery in Alaska Native communities during COVID-19 pandemic. The intervention, Promoting Community Conversations About Research End Suicide (PC CARES), created collaboratively by researchers and with goal bringing members together create research-informed community-led prevention activities their communities. To continue our work pandemic...
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, particularly males, experience disproportionately high rates of suicide compared to other young people in the United States. Therefore, enacting prevention efforts for AI/AN youth is especially important. Since research shows that strengthening social, cultural, emotional support can reduce risk, many recent focus on these strategies. Yet, reinforce extend positive impact strategies risk reduction, we argue it useful identify baseline levels...
Abstract Background: Mobile health applications (mHealth apps) targeting physical inactivity have increased in popularity yet are usually limited by low engagement. This study examined the impact of adding team-based incentives (Step Together Challenges, STCs) to an existing mHealth app (Carrot Rewards) that rewarded individual activity achievements. Methods: A 24-week quasi-experimental (retrospective matched pairs design) was conducted three Canadian provinces (pre-intervention: weeks...
