We tested hypotheses about the relationship between neighborhood-level food sources and obesity, controlling for individual-level characteristics.Data (collected November 2006-April 2008) derived from a random-digit-dial sample of 5688 community-dwelling adults aged 50 to 74 years residing in 1644 census tracts New Jersey. Using multilevel structural equation models, we created latent constructs representing density fast-food establishments storefronts (convenience stores, bars pubs, grocery...

With the surge of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19]), modality teaching anatomy has shifted from in-person cadaveric dissection to virtual lessons for incoming first-year medical students. As a result, we aim assess impact that this curriculum change on student perspectives.This study aims understand relative effect course implemented during pandemic (2019-2020) confidence, skills, and perspectives students compared who had traditional at Rowan University School Osteopathic Medicine...

Early onset (< age 40 years) psoriasis has been reported to be more readily triggered by environmental factors such as stress, in contrast late (> or = psoriasis. We examined whether certain psychopathologic differentiated the patient with early versus disease. One hundred and thirty-seven inpatients completed a battery of psychosocial questionnaires. Logistics regression analysis, using psychologic measures, TBSA affected independent variables, revealed that higher Anger-in (Anger...

Objective.—The objective of this study was to determine whether differences in urinary proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin‐1 β (IL‐1 ), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF‐ exist between migraineurs nonheadache control subjects, nonhormonal migraine menstrual migraine. Any noted would expand clarify a neuroimmune hypothesis pathogenesis lead future diagnostic markers or therapeutic options both for the disorder. Background.—Current theories focus on biochemical...

Background Midlife women are at an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated mortality. Those who have additional conditions such as obesity or hypertension report specific barriers to engaging in cardioprotective behaviors physical activity (PA). Considerable effort has been devoted understanding PA determinants designing interventions midlife women, although with suboptimal success, increasing could meaningfully attenuate CVD risk. An updated approach among improve upon...

Ample evidence indicates that everyday perceptions of the social environment can affect health behaviors; these include comparisons (i.e., self-evaluations compared to others) and positive versus negative interactions. However, relations between healthy behaviors have received little attention among specific medical populations for whom an improved understanding behavioral determinants could inform updates tailored interventions. Research methods capture differentiate stable, person-level...

The web and internet are very important to a huge number of people it has large users. These users use these platforms for different purposes. There many social media that available Any user can make spread or post the news/message through online platforms. Even though algorithms used by updated meticulously, they still not efficient enough filter out fake news essential information viral first where is needed so surrounding specific region benefits living there before reaches rest world....

:Background: Several studies showed that there is a relationship between vitamin and mineral status muscle strength. In particular this the case for handgrip strength (HS) D deficiency. bariatric surgery risk of decrease in after also deficiencies are not uncommon. The aim study to assess effect low 25 (OH) cholecalciferol levels, high dose supplementation regime protein intake on physical fitness, measured using shuttle walk run test (SWRT). Methods: For retrospective study, 100 patients...

Wearable flexible sensors have recently gained much attention as they the potential to revolutionize way we monitor activities of human body. Electronic fabricated on substrates provide compactness, comfort, and flexibility. In this letter, report a novel design wearable mechanically bioimpedance analyzers. We fabricate analyzers by printing electronic circuits paper plastic substrates. The sensor module is lightweight, comfortable, can be worn wrist measure body impedance continuously....

In today's world obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges as it linked to an increased risk heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. The key point study epidemic measure amount fat in human body. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) a noninvasive method widely used for estimating mass. typical BIA, small alternating electrical current applied body measured. Commercial systems BIA nowadays are typically large, bulky, can be very...

Many studies have documented the significant psychological impact of severe psoriasis. Although illustrated association psoriasis with psychiatric conditions, including depression and anxiety, this is first to report new onset suicidal ideations presenting concomitantly an erythrodermic eruption This novel finding highlights need for evaluation mental status in patients erythroderma associated any dermatologic condition, as such increase dermatological severity correlated ideations. case...

Dry electrodes are gaining popularity in the area of electronic health for biosignal measurements due to their reusability and comfort as compared traditional gel-based wet Ag/AgCl electrodes. This paper presents a performance comparison dry medical devices, particular, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). BIA is an emerging technology widely used body composition by computing human body. The designed system consists wearable silicone ring with four copper experiment conducted on 40...

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus are increasing worldwide, reaching pandemic proportions. The understanding of the role functional restriction gut hormones can be a beneficial tool in treating obesity diabetes. However, exact hormonal profiles different metabolic states surgical models not known.The HIPER-1 Study is single-centre cross-sectional study which 240 patients (in models) will receive an oral mixed-meal tolerance test (OMTT). At baseline after 30, 60 120 min, peptide YY...

Abstract Context Masks have long been utilized to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens and diseases in healthcare setting. Recently, due COVID-19 pandemic, mask use has expanded all public areas help slow this virus. One such location where masks can be seen is gyms. While exercising, needs body are altered increased stress being placed upon it. Normal physiology thus adjusted meet these new demands maintain optimal functioning. Therefore, it possible that adding a covering mouth nose...

The World-Wide Web provides every internet citizen with access to a lot of information, but it is becoming increasingly difficult identify those pieces information that are relevant the user.Research in areas web mining tries address this problem data by applying techniques from on it.The tools generally used for scanning HTML documents and other medias, results provided engines.It can provide content engines productive order relevance.In paper, we will briefly introduce concepts then give...

A recommendation system is a way of suggesting users subset possible choice from set choices. An example in e-commerce web applications to recommend customers what they might like purchase wide variety items based on their recent behavior or search history. Recommender systems are redefining meaning today’s business oriented world by providing organizations an effective means driving revenue. There lot engines present at the moment. Some them work solely user’s perspective whereas some...

The temporal dynamics of microfilariae (mf) in human blood, and the biting activity mf density vector were studied. Finger-prick blood samples (in duplicate) collected from 14 microfilaraemic subjects at two-hourly intervals over a single 24-hour timescale. Samples taken 39 22:00 first week every month for period 17 consecutive months. slides dried, stained examined presence microfilariae. Data analyzed with cosinor rhythmometry. A statistically validated circadian rhythm was detected 86%...
