This study examined the prevalence and correlates of three living arrangements (with a parent or guardian, independently with roommate, in supervised setting) among nationally representative sample postsecondary young adults an autism spectrum disorder. We assessed since leaving high school. Compared other disability types (learning disabilities, intellectual emotional disturbances), those disorder were more likely to have lived guardian least ever Members group less elsewhere live under...
To characterize the prevalence of cognitive and behavioral symptoms using a cognitive/behavioral screening battery in large prospective multicenter study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Fatty liver is associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and activation of the hepatic unfolded protein response (UPR). Reduced expression UPR regulator X-box binding 1 spliced (XBP1s) human nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), feeding mice a high-fat diet fructose/sucrose causes progressive, fibrosing steatohepatitis. This study examines role XBP1 in fatty injury acid-induced cell injury. Hepatocyte-specific Xbp1-deficient (Xbp1(-/-)) were fed high-fat/sugar (HFS) for up to 16 wk....
The present study addresses critical gaps in the literature by examining residential transitions among 303 adults with intellectual disability (ID) over 10 years (Part 1) and 75 Down syndrome 20 2). All lived at home start of study, but many moved to a variety settings. Several characteristics ID differed across settings, most notably adaptive behavior number transitions, whereas such as age, type disability, problems were less predictive placements. moves course varied widely, links earlier...
This study examined the perceptions of adulthood among 31 high school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We had two research aims: (1) to report students' postsecondary expectations in terms school, work, friendships and living arrangement (2) describe how our sample defined adulthood. To better compare sample's criteria traditionally endorsed secondary schools, we used a directed content analysis approach. Data were derived from semi-structured interview that questioned about...
Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) encodes for the rate-limiting step in conversion of cholesterol to bile acids liver. In response acute feeding, mice upregulate CYP7A1 via stimulation liver X receptor (LXR) α. However, effect a chronic high-cholesterol diet on hepatic expression is unknown. We demonstrate that feeding (0.2% or 1.25% w/w 12 weeks) FVB/NJ results >60% suppression associated with >2-fold increase content. contrast, induces >3-fold upregulation expression. show chronic, but...
The transition of a student out high school and into the adult world can be stressful time for many families students. This major life particularly challenging students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) their families. In this article, we first discuss roles in process son or daughter ASD. Next, present literature on unique needs adolescents ASD during to adulthood. Finally, highlight current research best practices supporting transition-age as well future directions practice.
OBJECTIVES: Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are reported to experience significant challenges during the transition adulthood. Although recent evidence indicates that individuals ASD poor outcomes in adulthood, little is understood about contributing factors. In this qualitative study, we investigated barriers and needs research practice adulthood among ASD. METHODS: Thirteen researchers, including service providers, family members, an individual participated 30- 60-minute,...
BACKGROUND: Our objective in this study was to describe the association between receipt of health care transition services (HCTS) and having a medical home youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Youth ASD receive HCTS less often than other special needs but are particular need continuous, comprehensive care. METHODS: We used National Survey Children Special Health Care Needs its presence home. Descriptive statistics presented, logistic regression is assess HCTS. RESULTS: Twenty-one...
Abstract Flourishing is a positive health indicator that aligns with strengths‐based perspectives and measures within autism research. indicators were recently included in the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) have been used to evidence disparities flourishing experienced by autistic children compared non‐autistic peers. Yet, little has done examine utility standard items for this population. This study examined NSCH caregiver‐reported measurement item bias. A cross‐sectional,...
Identifying factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination acceptance among vulnerable groups, including autistic individuals, can increase rates and support public health. The purpose of this study was to determine differences adults who reported from those did not. In we describe status self-reported preferences identify related factors. Vaccine accepters were more likely report increased loneliness during COVID-19, lived in populous counties (p = 0.02), won by President Biden the 2020 US...
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The ER response is activated livers mice fed a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet, yet role MCD diet-induced steatohepatitis unknown. Using chemical chaperones on hepatic steatosis markers inflammation fibrosis we aim to determine effects reducing stress. C57BL/6J were diet with or without 4-phenylbutyric acid (PBA) tauroursodeoxycholic (TUDCA) for 2 wk. TUDCA PBA effectively...
