Although Short Form (SF)-12 × 2® has been extensively studied and used as a valid measure of health-related quality life in variety population groups, no systematic studies have described the reliability patients with behavioral conditions or serious mental illness (SMI). We assessed internal consistency, split-half annual test-retest correlations sample 1587 participants either combination physical SMI. The Mosier's alpha was 0.70 for Physical Composite Scale (PCS) 0.69 Mental Health (MCS),...
We previously demonstrated that the quantity of β-carotene (BC) partitioning in mixed micelles during simulated small intestinal digestion, i.e., bioaccessibility, boiled cassava is highly correlated with BC content different cultivars. However, also traditionally prepared by fermentation and roasting. These methods preparation have potential to affect both retention bioaccessibility BC. Here, we first compared cassava, gari (fermentation followed roasting), fufu sieving cooking into a...
Solar energy and air offer effective pathways to achieving carbon neutrality goals in heating sector. Considering the intermittency of solar challenges extraction cold climates, relying on either system alone is unreliable. This study investigates a combined using collector air-source heat pump, with three coupling modes: preheating, series, parallel. The mode lowest power consumption identified as operating mode. influence environmental, design, operational parameters efficiency explored....
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common and second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in United States. The purpose this study was to evaluate gene expression differences different stages CRC. Gene data on 433 CRC patient samples were obtained from Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). evaluated across using linear regression. Genes with p≤0.001 further principal component analysis genes p≤0.0001 set enrichment analysis. A total 377 patients 20,532 included final numbers stage I through...
The synthesis and initial biological evaluation of 3-carboranylthymidine analogues (3CTAs) that are (radio)halogenated at the closo-carborane cluster described. Radiohalogenated 3CTAs have potential to be used in radiotherapy imaging cancer because they may selectively entrapped tumor cells through monophosphorylation by human thymidine kinase 1 (hTK1). Two strategies for a 127I-labeled form specific 3CTA, previously designated as N5, described: (1) direct iodination N5 with iodine...
Objective To systematically assess the quality of online information related to weight loss that Spanish speakers in U.S. are likely access. Methods This study evaluated accessibility and for websites were identified from queries compared this with previously published results English. The content was scored respect five dimensions: nutrition, physical activity, behavior, pharmacotherapy, surgical recommendations. Results Sixty‐six met eligibility criteria (21 commercial, 24 news/media, 10...
Summary Background In adults, the Taq1a polymorphism (rs1800497) near D2 receptor ( DRD2 ) gene is associated with body mass index and binge eating more prevalent among non‐Hispanic Blacks (NHB) Hispanic–Americans (HA) relative to Whites (NHW). We hypothesize risk alleles contribute paediatric racial/ethnic differences in obesity phenotypes. Objectives This study aims characterize relationship between (rs1800497), diet adiposity a multi‐ethnic cohort of 286 children (98 NHB, 76 HA 112 NHW),...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate four different platinated bioconjugates containing a cisplatin ( cis -diamminedichloroplatinum [ -DDP]) fragment and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting moieties as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment brain tumors using human EGFR-expressing transfectant F98 rat glioma (F98 EGFR ) assess their efficacy. first two employed monoclonal antibody cetuximab (C225 or Erbitux ® targeting moiety, second used genetically...
This randomized trial experimentally manipulated social status to assess effects on acute eating behavior and 24-hour energy balance.Participants (n = 133 Hispanics; age 15-21 years; 60.2% females) were low ("LOW") or high ("HIGH") conditions in a rigged game of Monopoly (Hasbro, Inc.). Acute intake lunchtime meal was measured by food scales. Twenty-four-hour balance assessed via summation resting metabolic rate (metabolic cart), physical activity expenditure (accelerometer), thermic effect...
Relative to other racial/ethnic groups in the United States, Hispanic American (HA) youth have higher rates of overweight and obesity. Previous work suggests that low perceived social status (SS) promotes excess caloric intake and, thereby, development Psychological resilience may play a role reducing adverse eating behaviors risk for The objective this study was investigate whether (as measured by Connor Davidson Resilience Scale) interacts with experimentally manipulated SS affect dietary...
Thrombopoiesis following severe bone marrow injury frequently is delayed, thereby resulting in life-threatening thrombocytopenia for which there are limited treatment options. The reasons these delays recovery not well understood. Protein kinase C (PKC) agonists promote megakaryocyte differentiation leukemia cell lines and primary cells. However, little known about the megakaryopoietic effects of PKC on CD34+ cells grown culture or vivo. Here we present evidence that novel isoform-selective...
Accumulating evidence implicates diet quality in childhood as playing a significant role adult cardiometabolic health. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the n–6 (ω-6) and n–3 (ω-3) series contribute unique protective effects against disease. As such, ratio between PUFAs is dietary metric interest early life span, although an optimum intake has yet to be determined. This cross-sectional study assesses relations total n–6:n–3 PUFA risk factors racially diverse sample children (n = 191)...
Abstract Objective To examine whether the Wellness Incentive and Navigation (WIN) intervention can improve health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) among Medicaid enrollees with co‐occurring physical behavioral health conditions. Data Sources Annual telephone survey data from 2013 to 2016, linked claims data. Study Design We recruited 1259 participants Texas STAR + PLUS managed care program randomized them into an group that received flexible wellness accounts navigator services or a control...
Although superficially similar to data from clinical research, extracted electronic health records may require fundamentally different approaches for model building and analysis. Because record is designed clinical, rather than scientific use, researchers must first provide clear definitions of outcome predictor variables. Yet an iterative process defining outcomes predictors, assessing association, then repeating the increase Type I error rates, thus decrease chance replicability, defined...
