<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Objective</h3> To examine shortfall nutrient intakes (ie, calcium, folate, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, E) by poverty-to-income ratio (PIR). <h3>Design</h3> National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2012, a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey. <h3>Participants</h3> US adults with complete data on poverty status diet were included (n = 4,524). <h3>Analysis</h3> The Cancer Institute method was used to estimate total usual micronutrient...
Nutrition is critical to HIV mortality and morbidity. Improved treatment modalities have increased life expectancy of HIV-infected individuals. More than 1 million US adults are living with HIV, but little known about their nutritional status. We aimed characterize the status those use NHANES 2003–2014. The a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey population includes household interview, medical examination, two 24-h dietary recalls; weights applied make data representative....
Little is known about the relationship between perceptions of nutrient adequacy and biomarkers nutrition status. This cross-sectional study U.S. German adults (n = 200; 18–80 years) compared dietary practices, knowledge, beliefs omega-3 fatty acids (O3-FA) with index (O3-I), an erythrocyte-based biomarker associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. More than half believed that O3-FAs are beneficial for heart brain health could correctly identify food sources O3-FA. However, mean O3-I in...
Perioperative cefazolin administration for total joint arthroplasty is a first-line antibiotic recommended by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines prevention periprosthetic infections (PJIs). We aim to analyze clinical viability giving patients with documented penicillin allergy (PA) perioperative full-strength "test dose" under anesthesia.This retrospective chart review 2,451 arthroplasties from high-volume orthopaedic surgeon over 5-year period January 2013...
Proactive nutrition screening is an effective public health strategy for identifying and targeting individuals who could benefit from making dietary improvements primary secondary prevention of disease. The Dietary Screening Tool (DST) was developed validated to assess nutritional risk among rural older adults. purpose this study evaluate the utility validity DST identify in middle-aged This cross-sectional adults (45–64 year olds, n = 87) reside Appalachia, examined status using online...

Body mass index (BMI) is an imperfect measure of patients' adiposity and operative risk. Radiographic direct subcutaneous measurements have been utilized in attempts to more accurately characterize the risk postoperative complications, including surgical site infection. This study aims evaluate whether tissue depth measurement a accurate predictor skin complication following anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Adverse drug reactions are a major concern with zidovudine/stavudine treatment regimens. The less toxic tenofovir regimen is an alternative, but seldom considered due to the higher costs. This study compared adverse and other clinical outcomes resulting from use of these two regimens in India. Baseline, characteristics follow-up were collected by chart reviews HIV-positive adults using univariate/multivariate analysis, without propensity score adjustments. Data 129 92 patients on zidovudine...
<h3>PURPOSE</h3> We assessed low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer using a proactive patient education/recruitment program. <h3>METHODS</h3> identified patients aged 55-80 years from family medicine group. In the retrospective phase (March-August, 2019), were categorized as current/former/never smokers, and eligibility was determined. Patients who underwent LDCT in past year, along with outcomes, documented. prospective (2020), same cohort did not undergo proactively...
Fiber has been identified as both a ‘shortfall nutrient’ and ‘nutrient of public health concern.’ However, little is known about dietary fiber intake relative to poverty-income ratio (PIR) race/ethnicity in US adults. We examined usual intakes compliance with the adequate (AI) adults (≥19 years) using National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2011 2012 by PIR race/ethnicity. Among men women, significantly higher was observed among those highest category (men, 22 [SE, 0.8]; 18 0.6])...
