Frequent falls and risk of injury are evident in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) as the progresses. There have been no reports any interventions that reduce incidence idiopathic PD.Assess benefit gait step perturbation training PD.Randomized, controlled trial.Outpatient research, education clinical center a tertiary care Veterans Affairs Medical Center.Gait parameters, 5-step test, report falls.Eighteen men PD stage 2 or 3 Hoehn Yahr staging.Subjects were randomly assigned to...
We endeavored to identify objective blood biomarkers for pain, a subjective sensation with biological basis, using stepwise discovery, prioritization, validation, and testing in independent cohorts design. studied psychiatric patients, high risk group co-morbid pain disorders increased perception of pain. For we used powerful within-subject longitudinal were successful identifying gene expression that predictive state, future emergency department (ED) visits more so when personalized by...
Abstract Mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorders) are prevalent and disabling. They also highly co-morbid with other psychiatric disorders. Currently there no objective measures, such as blood tests, used in clinical practice, available treatments do not work everybody. The development of well matching patients existing new treatments, a precise, personalized preventive fashion, would make significant difference at an individual societal level. Early pilot studies by us to discover...
Glomerular diseases are classified using a descriptive taxonomy that is not reflective of the heterogeneous underlying molecular drivers. This limits only diagnostic and therapeutic patient management, but also impacts clinical trials evaluating targeted interventions. The Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) poised to address these challenges. study has enrolled >850 pediatric adult patients with proteinuric glomerular who have contributed deep clinical, histologic, genetic, profiles...
Suicide remains a clear, present and increasing public health problem, despite being potentially preventable tragedy. Its incidence is particularly high in people with overt or un(der)diagnosed psychiatric disorders. Objective precise identification of individuals at risk, ways monitoring response to treatments novel preventive therapeutics need be discovered, employed widely deployed. We sought investigate whether blood gene expression biomarkers for suicide (that is, 'liquid biopsy'...
Abstract Short-term memory dysfunction is a key early feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Psychiatric patients may be at higher risk for and subsequent AD due to the negative effects stress depression on brain. We carried out longitudinal within-subject studies in male female psychiatric discover blood gene expression biomarkers that track short term as measured by retention measure Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. These were subsequently prioritized with convergent functional genomics...
The biological fingerprint of environmental adversity may be key to understanding health and disease, as it encompasses the damage induced well compensatory reactions organism. Metabolic hormonal changes an informative but incomplete window into underlying biology. We endeavored identify objective blood gene expression biomarkers for psychological stress, a subjective sensation with roots. To quantify stress perception at particular moment in time, we used simple visual analog scale life...
Abstract Access to field experiences can increase participation of diverse groups in the environmental and natural resources (ENR) workforce. Despite a growing interest among ENR community attract retain students, minimal data exist on what factors undergraduate students prioritize when applying for experiences. Using nationwide survey US we show that attracting most experiences—especially racial or ethnic minority students—will require pay above minimum wage. However, concurrent landscape...
Background: Supplements were awarded under the National Institutes of Health, ending HIV epidemic (EHE) initiative to foster implementation science through community-engaged research. The objective this study was synthesize lessons learned, identify areas research sufficiently studied, and present an agenda for future on health workforce development from a collaboration across 9 EHE projects in 11 jurisdictions United States. Methods: supplement recipients completed semistructured...
To examine valuation of life, loneliness, and depressed mood as mediating the association between age race/ethnicity health outcomes among older adult male prisoners.Survey 261 prisoners ages 45-80 from 8 Oklahoma correctional facilities.African American report fewer conditions than White - a finding mediated by significantly greater less lower African prisoners. Older reported more younger independent other study variables.Results suggest improving inmates' internal states will reduce...
Students who repeat a grade are at higher risk of dropping out high school. Previous research has examined this in methodologically aggregated way (e.g., repeated any versus never repeated) or only specific grades/grade ranges Kindergarten elementary) leaving questions about which grades more detrimental to with respect school dropout. This study uses data from the National Center for Education Statistics ( N = 9,309) comparatively examine grades, when repeated, show strongest associations...
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify lifestyle profiles young adult males and females based on their alcohol, diet, exercise behaviors then link these with health. Method: We used the nationally representative 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS; N = 17,286; 47% female; Mage 23.22; SD 3.16; 65% white) examine alcohol use, daily fruit vegetable intake, fried potato per week using latent profile analysis. Participants also reported days general, physical, mental...
Youth with experience in the foster care system are often more susceptible to negative outcomes adulthood due higher levels of cumulative risk; however, there is little research on perceptions resilience among this population. This mixed-method pilot study presents results from a modified prototype analysis that examined both qualitative and quantitative aspects how emerging adults (ages 18–25; n = 18) backgrounds viewed concept "success." Specifically, approach involved demographic...
Limited research addresses the development of emerging adults who are homeless, and studies rarely explore their immediate intertwined experiences geography, social networks, daily paths. These dynamic contexts may play significant roles in adults' homeless experiences, continued chronic homelessness, and/or successful transitions to self‐sufficient adulthood. Applying geographic theory adult among marginalized youth offers new linguistic methodological tools further our understanding what...
