The first full year of data after implementation the new kidney allocation system reveals an increase in deceased donor transplants among black candidates and those with calculated panel-reactive antibodies 98%-100%, but a decrease aged 65 years or older. Data from 2015 also demonstrate ongoing positive trends graft patient survival for both living transplants, challenges limited supply kidneys setting increasing demand remain evident. While total number patients on waiting list decreased...
Acetaminophen is currently the only analgesic considered safe for use throughout pregnancy, but recent studies indicate that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen may be related poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes. Multiple have suggested it associated with attention problems, few examined this association by trimester of exposure. The Illinois Kids Development Study a prospective birth cohort located in east-central Illinois. Exposure data were collected between December 2013 and March 2020,...
Abstract Background Acetaminophen is the only analgesic considered safe for use throughout pregnancy. Recent studies suggest that during pregnancy may be associated with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in children, but few have examined language development. Methods The Illinois Kids Development Study a prospective birth cohort east-central Illinois. Between December 2013 and March 2020, 532 newborns were enrolled had exposure data available. Participants reported number of times they...
Prenatal per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure may influence gestational outcomes through bioactive lipids─metabolic inflammation pathway indicators. We estimated associations between prenatal PFAS lipids, measuring 12 serum 50 plasma lipids in 414 pregnant women (median 17.4 weeks' gestation) from three Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Program cohorts. Pairwise association estimates across cohorts were obtained linear mixed models meta-analysis, adjusting the...
Abstract Oxidative stress has been identified as an important biological pathway leading to neurodevelopmental delay. However, studies assessing the effects of oxidative on cognitive outcomes during infancy, a critical period neurodevelopment, are limited. Our analysis included subset those enrolled in Illinois Kids Development Study (N = 144). Four biomarkers (8‐isoprostane‐PGF 2α , 2,3‐dinor‐5,6‐dihydro‐8‐iso‐PGF 2,3‐dinor‐8‐iso‐PGF and prostaglandin‐F ) were measured second third...
Phenols and parabens are two classes of high production volume chemicals that used widely in consumer personal care products have been associated with reproductive harm pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia gestational diabetes. However, studies examining their influence on maternal blood pressure hypertension limited.
In March 2020, a Tribal telehealth program-the Indian Country Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO)-added emergency COVID-19 to its programming support the pandemic response. A long-standing relationship with network of Service, Tribal, and urban clinicians supported rapid launch program. This nationwide service offered primary care staff serving American Indian/Alaska Native people access virtual learning opportunities, expert clinical recommendations, technical assistance,...
ABSTRACT Background Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure can occur through ingestion of contaminated food water, inhalation indoor air with these chemicals from consumer industrial products. Prenatal PFAS exposures may confer risk for pregnancy-related outcomes such as hypertensive metabolic disorders, preterm birth, impaired fetal development intermediate inflammation pathways. Objective Estimate associations between maternal pregnancy (individually a mixture) bioactive...
This study examined the relationship between maternal food source and preparation during pregnancy duration of breastfeeding among 751 mother–child dyads in United States. The data collected from Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program included twelve cohorts mothers (age ≥ 18) who delivered infant(s). Three categories including, High, Moderate, or Low Food Source Quality were derived mother report. mean differed strongly across three categories. High group breastfed...
American Indian/Alaska Native communities are at higher risk of poor outcomes from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board’s program Country Extensions for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) initiated telehealth sessions health professionals. All resources were centralized www.IndianCountryECHO.org. In its first six weeks, the had 4,579 attendees. Participants submitted 563 questions to specialists. There 22,683 webpage...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Triclosan and benzophenone-3 are ubiquitous phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals. Similar chemicals associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, but little is known about the effects of triclosan on neurodevelopment. We investigated associations gestational or exposure infant cognitive outcomes. METHODS: A visual recognition memory task assessed 312 7.5-month-old infants (151 males; 161 females) from a prospective birth cohort study. concentrations were...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Phenols are endocrine disrupting chemicals found in many consumer products. We examined the relationship between pregnancy exposure and non-nutritive suck (NNS), an early indicator of central nervous system integrity, two diverse populations. METHODS: The study involved prospective birth cohorts national Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program: Illinois Kids Development Study (IKIDS, n=49) ECHO Puerto Rico (ECHO-PROTECT, n=145). In IKIDS, phenols...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Phthalates are endocrine disrupting chemicals found in many consumer products. Pregnancy exposure has been associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, but few studies have examined their association language development. Even less is known about replacements for commonly used phthalates. METHODS: The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) was to evaluate development 300 2-year-old children (average age of 27 months; 149 males, 151 females)...
