Poor adherence to oral endocrine therapy (OET) is a significant problem among patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer as it results in higher risk of recurrence and mortality. Non-adherence OET prevalent underserved patients, often attributable socioeconomic factors limited healthcare access. We evaluated patterns over time using group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) identified predictors suboptimal seen at Harris Health System, serving Houston, Texas. A single-center,...
Diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia frequently co-occur in older adults, significantly increasing their risk for cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of mortality the United States. Managing these conditions often requires concomitant triple therapy, which includes antihypertensives, oral antidiabetics, statins. Although medication adherence is critical reducing risk, to complex regimens suboptimal populations, further complicating disease management. Medicare's STAR metrics assess...
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are recommended for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) given their improved safety profile. Suboptimal adherence to DOACs remains a significant concern among individuals AF. However, the extent of following cardiovascular or bleeding event has not been fully evaluated.
A 1.3 kb xyl‐A gene encoding xylose isomerase from a hyperthermophilic eubacterium Thermotoga naphthophila RKU‐10 (TnapXI) was cloned and over‐expressed in Escherichia coli to produce the enzyme mesophilic conditions that work at high temperature. The concentrated by lyophilization purified heat treatment, fractional precipitation, UNOsphere Q anion‐exchange column chromatography homogeneity level. apparent molecular mass estimated SDS–PAGE be 49.5 kDa. active showed clear zone on...
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate different solid substrates and moistening agents for the production an extracellular 1, 4-α-D-glucan glucohydrolase from a newly isolated Aspergillus oryzae IIB-6 by state fermentation optimization culture conditions maximal enzyme. Study Design: Six agro-industrial waste residues (rice straw, rice bran, corn flakes, wheat grinded kernel) were procured local market. These (10 g) moistened (1:1) with (distilled water, tap mineral salts solution...
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted public infrastructure and healthcare utilization. However, regional variation in opioid-related harm secondary to remains poorly understood. This study aimed measure the association between stay-at-home orders (SAHOs) nonfatal emergency medical services (EMS) transfers United States. Methods: In this interrupted time series design, counts of opioid overdoses were identified each week July 29, 2019 December 27, 2020 from National Emergency...
Sixteen different mould cultures viz. Aspergillus, Alternaria, Arthroderma, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Penicillium, Rhizopus and Chochliobolus were isolated from the soil samples of Qatar by serial dilution method. The preliminary screening isolates was done selecting initial colonies showing relatively bigger zones starch hydrolysis on nutrient agar plates. then subjected to secondary submerged fermentation (SmF). 1,4-α-D-glucan glucohydrolase (GGH) activity ranged 1.906-12.675 U/ml/min....
Abstract Very limited knowledge is available regarding the mental health of immigrant population in USA. We aim to assess factors affecting immigrants living Houston from war-inflicted and stable countries Middle Eastern North African (MENA) origin during pandemic. This cross-sectional study was conducted among MENA using a validated survey sociodemographic, general health, COVID-19 questions. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed sociodemographic clinical predictors depression...

Abstract Introduction: Adherence to oral endocrine therapy (OET) for the prevention and treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (BC) is important as they reduce risk new or recurrent BC. OET adherence greatly compromised in women lower socioeconomic status (SES). We have recently reported that patients belonging African American race, with longer time on OET, using setting are more likely be non-adherent OET. Therefore, our study aims design unique patient-centered interventions...
Despite the beneficial effects of DOACs, suboptimal adherence is widely documented, and real-world lower than in clinical trials. The objective this study to compare cost-effectiveness apixaban versus rivaroxaban for stroke prevention by incorporating from US payer's perspective.
Background: Sepsis is a severe life-threatening state of infection with high incidence in clinical settings and one the most common causes hospitalization deaths Critical Care Unit (CCU). The current research work was carried out to investigate aetiology pathophysiology sepsis in-patients Mahavir Hospital, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. This study aims identify protein biomarkers that can effectively diagnose predict risk outcomes hospitalized patients. Patients Methods: Observations are based...
Water insecurity, characterized by poor water quality and limited access to safe water, is a leading contributor health hazards globally, yet its specific impacts remain underexplored in Pakistan. This qualitative study investigates the perceived consequences of insecurity Rawalpindi, Pakistan, focusing on communities New Lalazar Gorakhpur. Using ethnographic methods, including participant observation semi-structured interviews with 80 purposively sampled individuals, uncovers prevalent...
The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to anxiety and depression in many communities across the United States. Here, we have focused on a sample of Houston-based Middle Eastern North African (MENA) residents assessed prevalence this community. 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder 9-item Patient Health Questionnaires were used identify severity depression, respectively. A sociodemographic, general health, survey was for multivariable logistic regression model determine predictors depression....
