Diminished bone density and a propensity to fracture with minimal trauma are common in children adolescents moderate severe cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this study was provide detailed evaluation mineral (BMD) metabolism population assess the relationship these measures multiple other clinical, growth, nutrition variables.The group consisted 117 subjects ages 2 19 years (mean: 9.7 years) CP as defined by Gross Motor Functional Classification scale. Population-based sampling used...
Recent children's health surveys have documented a high prevalence of emotional, developmental, and behavioral problems among children. Data from the 2003 National Survey Children's Health provide new insights into these their association with family function community participation. These issues become current focus World Organization.Answers to questions interest were reported using estimates SEs rates. Statistical comparisons rates chi2 tests at 0.05 level made when relevant.The most...
Objective: Asthma is the most common chronic childhood illness. Treatment typically focused on disease management rather than developmental and behavioral comorbidities that may affect quality of life or contribute to poor control. The purpose this study was explore prevalence asthma role confounding socioeconomic factors. Methods: first National Survey Children's Health data source for study. Interviews with parents guardians were conducted during 2003–2004 ascertain physical, emotional,...
It is proposed that the bond between nitric oxide (NO) and Hb thiol Cys-β 93 (SNOHb) favored when hemoglobin (Hb) in relaxed (R, oxygenated) conformation, deoxygenation to tense (T) state destabilizes SNOHb bond, allowing transfer of NO from form other (vasoactive) S -nitrosothiols (SNOs). However, it has not previously been possible measure without extensive preparation, altering its allostery SNO distribution. Here, we have validated an assay for uses carbon monoxide (CO) cuprous chloride...
AbstractRestricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation of the parameters mixed model has become commonplace, even becoming default option in many statistical software packages. However, a review literature indicates need to update and clarify selection techniques under REML, as ambiguities exist on appropriateness existing information criteria this setting. A simulation study well an application assisted gaining understanding performance selecting best when using REML estimation.KEY WORDS :...
Background After menopause, women exhibit a higher prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and risk cardiovascular disease. However, timing changes in MetS severity over menopausal transition whether these differ by racial/ethnic group remain unclear. Methods Results We assessed data from 1470 Atherosclerosis Risk Communities cohort who experienced status 10 years (visits 1–4). used linear mixed models to evaluate (premenopause, perimenopause, postmenopause) Z ‐score individual...

Objective: Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) frequently develop delayed cerebral ischemia and may be especially vulnerable to the effects of anemia. However, potentially harmful allogeneic red blood cells are increasingly being recognized. The optimal transfusion threshold is unknown, but current practice most often uses a liberal approach. We assessed association between anemia or subsequent adverse outcomes. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Neuroscience intensive care...
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of clinical indices that signals increased risk for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. diagnosis MetS typically based on cut-off points various components, e.g. waist circumference blood pressure. Because current criteria result in racial/ethnic discrepancies, our goal was to use confirmatory factor analysis delineate differential contributions by sub-group. Using 1999–2010 data from the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey...
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes remain significant public health concerns. Targeting of prevention efforts by geographical location has been suggested the Institute Medicine to coincide with presence area-based risk. The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a stronger risk factor than obesity for prediction future CVD diabetes, yet its prevalence not previously described geographically. Our objective determine variation in obesity, MetS, among US adults. We assessed census...
Increasing physical activity (PA) levels in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years is associated with prevention of unhealthy weight gain and improvement cardiovascular fitness. The widespread availability mobile health (mHealth) wearable devices offers self-monitoring motivational features for increasing PA improving adherence exercise programs.The aim this scoping review was identify the efficacy or effectiveness mHealth intervention strategies facilitating among years.We conducted a systematic...
Pancreas size is reduced in patients at type 1 diabetes onset and autoantibody (AAB)-positive donors without diabetes. We sought to determine whether pancreas volume (PV) imaging could improve understanding of the loss first-degree relatives (FDRs) with also examined relationships among PV, AAB status, endocrine exocrine functions.We conducted a cross-sectional study that included five groups: AAB- control subjects (no no first- or second-degree diabetes) (N = 49), FDRs 61), AAB+ 67 total: n...
OBJECTIVE Disparities in type 1 diabetes related to use of technologies like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and utilization care are pronounced based on socioeconomic status (SES), race, ethnicity. However, systematic reports perspectives from patients vulnerable communities regarding barriers limited. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS To better understand barriers, focus groups were conducted Florida California with adults ≥18 years old selection criteria including hospitalization for...
Introduction Microaggressions and their impact have been documented in minority college students; however, little is known about the experience of medical students. This study reports prevalence understanding microaggressions among students at University Florida College Medicine (UFCOM), while gaining insights into experiences dealing with microaggressions.
 Method A nine-question survey was sent out to all UFCOM spring 2017 understand microaggressions. The authors used simple...
The standard technique for positive-pressure ventilation is to regulate the breath size by varying pressure applied bag. Investigators have argued that consistency of peak inspiratory important. However, research shows excessive tidal volume delivered with injures preterm lungs, which suggests should be varied during times changing compliance, such as resuscitation newborns or treatment after surfactant delivery.We modified a computerized lung model (ASL5000 [IngMar Medical, Pittsburgh, PA])...
Analysis of a large longitudinal study children motivated our work. The results illustrate how accurate inference for fixed effects in general linear mixed model depends on the covariance selected data. Simulation studies have revealed biased with an underspecified structure, at least small samples. One underspecification common data assumes simple random intercept and conditional independence within‐subject errors (i.e., compound symmetry). We prove that creates bias both samples ,...
