We evaluated associations between mortgage delinquency and changes in health health-relevant resources over 2 years, with data from the Health Retirement Study, a longitudinal survey representative of US adults older than 50 years.In 2008, participants reported whether they had fallen behind on payments since 2006 (n = 2474). used logistic regression to compare (incidence elevated depressive symptoms, major declines self-rated health) access (food, prescription medications) who fell their...
152 Background: EV is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a fully human antibody directed against the extracellular domain Nectin-4, which conjugated to microtubule-disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) by protease-cleavable linker. In animal models prostate cancer, metastatic lesions showed high membranous Nectin-4 expression (PMID: 30767361). We aimed investigate in pts with mCRPC. Methods: This IRB-approved, investigator-initiated, single-arm, single-center, phase 2 study...
Dyslipidemia, abnormal levels of lipids in the bloodstream, is associated with cardiovascular disease risk (CVD). The purpose this study was to evaluate effects dyslipidemia on cardiometabolic health relatively young, healthy adults. Participants were 54 males and females aged 18-60 years. assessed for anthropometrics, body composition, blood pressure vascular stiffness indicators, microvascular health, glucose lipid levels. Using a cross-sectional approach, participants characterized...
This study investigates the use of virtual reality (VR) for cancer rehabilitation (CR) among patients with metastatic prostate (mPC) undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Interviews 20 participants revealed that engaging visuals and gamified exercise routines VR system enhanced motivation supported personalized activities. However, some encountered challenges, including difficulty using headset glasses, initial confusion technical terms, concerns about cost equipment durability....
Infection with parechovirus type 3 (PeV3) can cause severe neurologic and sepsis-like illness in young infants; clinical epidemiologic descriptions have been limited. We aimed to characterize PeV3 explore risk factors for acquisition a cluster of neonatal cases at Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City, Missouri. Cerebrospinal fluid specimens were obtained from infants aged <180 days who hospitalized or meningitis between June 1 November 1, 2014. PeV-positive sequenced the Centers Disease...
Suicide is among the top causes of adolescent mortality worldwide. While correlates suicidal behavior are better understood and delineated in upper-income countries, epidemiologic knowledge low-income countries remains scant, particularly African continent. The present study sought to add literature on Africa by examining behavioral suicide attempts Malawi adolescents. A cross-sectional using a nationally-representative sample extracted from publically-available data was conducted. Bivariate...
Importance Multicomponent electronic patient-reported outcome cancer symptom management systems reduce burden. Whether all components contribute to reduction is unknown. Objective To deconstruct intervention of the Symptom Care at Home (SCH) system, a digital monitoring and that has demonstrated efficacy, determine which component or combination results in lowest Design, Setting, Participants This randomized clinical trial included participants who were older than 18 years, had been...
Objective. To measure 3-year medication possession ratios (MPRs) for renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors and statins Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes, to assess whether better adherence is associated lower spending on traditional services controlling biases common previous studies. Data Source. Current Beneficiary Survey data from 1997 2005. Study Design. Longitudinal study of RAAS-inhibitor statin utilization over 3 years. Collection. The relationship between MPR...
Physical fighting is an important behavioral concern of public health importance among adolescents worldwide. The present study examines the patterns and correlates physical a school-based population in low-income country setting. Data on 6235 aged 11–16 years were derived from Republic Ghana contributions to Global School-based Health Survey. Three thresholds participation fight during 12-month recall period compared against several independent sociodemographic variables. Bivariate analyses...
To assess drug utilization and cost patterns by body mass index (BMI) for Medicare beneficiaries including cohorts diagnosed with diseases resulting from, or aggravated by, obesity.We used data from the 2003 Current Beneficiary Survey to characterize community-dwelling population BMI class following outcomes: (1) prevalence of drugs recommended in treating obesity-related chronic diseases, (2) annual spending on these medications disease cohort, (3) all full study sample. Linear regression...
PURPOSE People with cancer experience poorly controlled symptoms that persist between treatment visits. Automated digital technology can remotely monitor and facilitate symptom management at home. Essential to interventions is patient engagement, user satisfaction, intervention benefits are distributed across populations so as not perpetuate inequities. We evaluated Symptom Care Home (SCH), an automated platform, determine whether subgroups gained similar reduction benefits. METHODS 358...
Reporting causes of death accurately is essential to public health and hospital-based programs; however, some U.S. studies have identified substantial inaccuracies in cause reporting. Using CDC's national inpatient hospital rates as a benchmark, the Missouri Department Health Senior Services (DHSS) analyzed reported by hospitals with high St. Louis Kansas City metro areas. Among selected rates, 45.8% certificates indicated an underlying that was inconsistent Guidelines for Death Certificate...
12000 Background: Unplanned health care utilization due to poorly controlled cancer symptoms is common and important avoid during the Covid-19 pandemic. In a randomized trial we evaluated whether remote symptom monitoring management utilizing Symptom Care at Home (SCH), would reduce burden, improve quality of life, decrease unplanned use in patients receiving active treatment. Methods: Patients (n = 252) chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy were SCH intervention 128) or usual (UC) 124)....
Background and objective Recent clinical trials have shown improvement in progression-free survival men with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) treated combination poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) novel hormonal therapy (NHT). Regulatory bodies the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan recently approved this for mPC. Common adverse events (AEs) include fatigue, nausea vomiting, anemia. Nuanced AE management guidance these combinations is lacking. The panel was to develop expert...
