Arkansas COVID-19 vaccine uptake has been lower than the national average. This study examined associations between sociodemographic factors and hesitancy, fear of infection, protection self-efficacy.Adults either residing, having employment, or receiving health care in (n = 754) participated an online survey October 30, 2020 January 16, 2021. Participants were recruited both rural urban areas from 6 primary clinics. Survey questions addressed factors, infection fear, self-efficacy,...
Vaccination is a critical preventive measure to reduce COVID-19 health risks. We utilize full information maximum likelihood (FIML) logistic regression analyze vaccine hesitancy in national sample of United States (US) adults (N = 2,022). Online survey data was collected between September 7th and October 3rd, 2021. Before weighting, the racial composition as follows: Asian American (15.0 %), Black/African (20.0 Hispanic/Latino Indian or Alaska Native (12.6 Hawaiian Pacific Islander (12.5...
Vaccination is critical for protecting adults and children from COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, death. Analyzing subsamples of parent/guardians age 0–11 (n = 343) 12–17 322) a larger national survey US 2,022), we aimed to assess intentions vaccinate how might vary across parent/guardian sociodemographic characteristics, healthcare coverage, vaccination status, political affiliation, prior exposure death(s) family or friends, perceived norms vaccination, vaccine hesitancy. We also report...
Exposure of cells to ionizing radiation (IR) generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). This results in increased oxidative stress and DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) which are the two underlying mechanisms by IR causes cell/tissue injury. Cells that deficient or impaired cellular antioxidant response susceptible IR-induced apoptosis. The transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein delta (Cebpd, C/EBPδ) has been implicated regulation stress, damage response, genomic stability...
The purpose of this study was to describe the thoughts and feelings individuals expressing concerns about COVID-19 vaccine. A qualitative descriptive conducted in order examine participants who are hesitant Data were collected from 754 using an online instrument. Emergent themes included a lack knowledge safety vaccine; over speed development, testing, approval these vaccines; reluctance be among first vaccinated; motivations government actors, pharmaceutical companies, others involved...
A cross-sectional survey design was used to assess Arkansas parents'/guardians' intentions vaccinate their child against COVID-19. Parents/guardians whose oldest age 0-11 years (n = 171) or 12-17 198) were recruited between 12 July and 30 2021 through random digit dialing. Among parents/guardians with an age-eligible child, 12-17, 19% reported had been vaccinated, 34% they would have vaccinated right away. a aged 0-11, 33% of Twenty-eight percent (28%) 26% only if school required it;...
ABSTRACT PURPOSE A non-surgical alternative for treating cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 is an unmet need due to a risk of incompetency. METHODS PepCan consists four human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 E6 peptides and Candida skin testing reagent (adjuvant). In this randomized, double-blind Phase 2 study, women with biopsy-confirmed CIN2/3 were treated or at one ratio. Four intradermal injections given every 3 weeks, observation visits 6 12 months post-vaccination. Quadrant...
Ionizing radiation (IR)-induced intestinal damage is characterized by a loss of crypt cells, barrier disruption and translocation microflora resulting in sepsis-mediated lethality. We have shown that mice lacking C/EBPδ display IR-induced hematopoietic injury The purpose this study was to investigate whether increased inflammatory, oxidative nitrosative stress promote lethality Cebpd-/- mice. found irradiated show decreased villous height, depth, villi ratio expression the proliferation...
Timely receipt of colorectal cancer screening can reduce morbidity and mortality. This is the first known study to adopt Andersen's model health services use identify factors associated with among U.S. adults. The data from National Health Interview Survey 2019 was utilized conduct analyses. Multivariable logistic regression used separately analyze 7,503 age-eligible women 6,486 men. We found similar levels men (57.7%) (57.6%). Factors higher odds in were older age, married/cohabitating a...
Background Cancer screening tests are recommended to prevent cancer-associated mortality by detecting precancerous and cancerous lesions in early stages. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the use of preventive health care services. Although there was an increase number cancer beginning late 2020, screenings remained 29% 36% lower than prepandemic era. Objective aim this review is assist providers identifying approaches for prioritizing patients increasing breast, cervical, colorectal during...
Quantitative image analysis (QIA) goes beyond subjective visual assessment to provide computer measurements of the content, typically following segmentation identify anatomical regions interest (ROIs). Commercially available picture archiving and communication systems focus on storage data. They are not well suited efficient mining new types quantitative In this paper, we present a system that integrates segmentation, quantitation, characterization with database data facilities. The paper...
Gamma-tocotrienol (GT3) confers protection against ionizing radiation (IR)-induced injury. However, the molecular targets that underlie protective functions of GT3 are not yet known. We have reported mice lacking CCAAT enhancer binding protein delta (Cebpd−/−) display increased mortality to IR due injury hematopoietic and intestinal tissues Cebpd protects from IR-induced oxidative stress cell death. The purpose this study was investigate whether mediates radio GT3. found GT3-treated Cebpd−/−...
