In a longitudinal cohort study of primary-school-age children with asthma in Detroit, Michigan, we examined relationships between lung function and ambient levels particulate matter < or = 10 microm 2.5 diameter (PM10 PM2.5) ozone at varying lag intervals using generalized estimating equations. Models considered effect modification by maintenance corticosteroid (CS) use the presence an upper respiratory infection (URI) as recorded daily diary among 86 who participated six 2-week seasonal...
This article describes the work of East Side Village Health Worker Partnership as a case study an initiative that seeks to reduce disproportionate health risks experienced by residents Detroit's east side.The is community-based participatory research and intervention collaboration among academia, public practitioners,
There is a need for more guidance on how to implement community-based participatory research, particularly the roles of community members, throughout process. This article focuses Steering Committee, composed representatives from organizations, local health department, an integrated care system, and academia University Michigan, participated in design implementation children’s asthma study Detroit, Michigan: Community Action Against Asthma. In addition, this role members as data collectors,...
Exit sites associated with scar-related reentrant arrhythmias represent important targets for catheter ablation therapy. However, their accurate location in a safe and robust manner remains significant clinical challenge. We recently proposed novel quantitative metric (termed the Reentry Vulnerability Index, RVI) to determine difference between activation repolarisation intervals measured from pairs of spatial locations during premature stimulation accurately locate critical site reentry...
Background: The Healthy Connections (HC) project was a community health worker (CHW) intervention that built upon existing social networks to encourage African American and Latina women obtain screening for type 2 diabetes hypertension. Objectives: This community-based participatory research (CBPR) involved identifying training CHWs, known as HC Advocates (HCAs). HCAs provided through House Parties shared information practical support with members of their broader individuals. Methods: Data...
In this paper, challenges to recruiting African Americans specifically for a dietary feeding trial are examined, learning experiences gained and suggestions overcome these in future trials discussed. A total of 333 individuals were randomized the 234 (167 sibling pairs 67 parents/siblings) completed intervention required DNA blood sampling genetic analysis. The used multiple strategies recruitment. Hand distributed letters flyers through mass distribution at various churches resulted largest...

Abstract Myocardial infarction can cause ventricular tachycardia as a result of reentrant electrical activation waves propagating around the infarct scar. The be treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation which requires cardiologist to deliver radiofrequency, via an intracardiac catheter, ablate specific site within scar, disrupting circuit, terminate arrhythmia. Therefore, determining location scar is important step in procedure. MRI and CT scans show region but are costly contraindicated...
