Background Given the safety concerns regarding pharmacological agents, and considerable impact of headache migraine on sufferer's quality life, many people seek other treatment options beyond conventional medication care to address their symptoms; this includes complementary alternative medicine (CAM). Some CAM interventions have shown promising results in clinical trials management. Nonetheless, there has been little research exploring reasons for using CAM, types used, among population....

Emergency department (ED) triage scores are assigned to patients in a short period based on assessment of need for lifesaving measures, risk and pain levels, resource needs, vital signs. Racial/ethnic disparities have been found across number outcomes but not consistent all studies.

Substantial research has examined birth outcomes by race/ethnicity, noting not only disparities but different maternal age patterns in low weight (LBW) prevalence. Few studies have these among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) mothers, whose LBW prevalence is below the national average, despite substantial socioeconomic disadvantage population. Prior work hypothesized that AI/AN mothers should exhibit similar to those seen NH black as a result of exposure cumulative stress, trauma, and...

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a measure of activation, and C-reactive protein (CRP) an established marker inflammation. Studies on the correlation between MPV CRP have produced ambiguous results. We undertook population study with National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (2005-2010) to investigate relationship MPV. was analyzed both as continuous variable categorical (low, intermediate, or high). Multivariate ordinary least squares regression analysis used predict...

Previous studies find U.S. immigrants have weaker socioeconomic gradients in health relative to non-Hispanic Whites and their U.S.-born co-ethnics. Several explanations been advanced but few tested empirically.
