Abstract Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is both a potential marker and therapeutic target for ovarian cancer. It critical to identify the sources of elevated LPA levels in ascites blood patients with We show here that human peritoneal mesothelial cells constitutively produce LPA, which accounts significant portion chemotactic activity conditioned medium from cancer cells. Both production by can be blocked HELSS [an inhibitor calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2)] AACOCF3 cytosolic PLA2...
Calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) plays a pivotal role in phospholipid remodeling and many other biological processes, including inflammation cancer development. iPLA(2) can be activated by caspase-3 via proteolytic process apoptotic cells. In this study we identify novel signaling functional loops of activation leading to migration non-apoptotic human ovarian The extracellular matrix protein, laminin-10/11, but not collagen I, induces integrin- caspase-3-dependent cleavage...
Objective To develop claims‐based measures of comprehensiveness primary care physicians ( PCP s) and summarize their associations with health utilization cost. Data Sources Study Setting A total 5359 s caring for over 1 million Medicare fee‐for‐service beneficiaries from 1404 practices. Design We developed physician involvement in patient conditions new problem management ) used a previously range services measure. analyzed the association s’ 2013 beneficiaries’ emergency department,...
Summary Nitrogen deposition can strongly affect biodiversity, but its specific effects on terrestrial microbial communities and their roles for ecosystem functions processes are still unclear. Here, we investigated the impacts of N wood‐inhabiting fungi (WIF) related ecological in a highly N‐limited deadwood habitat. Based high‐throughput sequencing, enzymatic activity assay measurements wood decomposition rates, show that addition has no significant effect overall WIF community composition...
Background: In the United States, food allergies (FAs) disproportionately affect children based on their racial or ethnic heritage, though there are some gaps and discrepancies in literature about prevalence of FAs among different groups. Objective: The objective was to analyze clinical data determine how FA varies race ethnicity track diagnosis rates over time. Methods: Patient diagnoses, birth years, self-reported races ethnicities were analyzed for 298,476 pediatric patients Children’s...
Abstract Metformin (MET) is increasingly implicated in reducing the incidence of multiple cancer types patients with diabetes. However, similar effects MET non-diabetic women endometrial (EC) remain unknown. In a pilot study, obese diagnosed type 1, grade 1/2 EC, and consenting to participate were randomly assigned receive or no (control (CON)) during pre-surgical window between diagnosis hysterectomy. Endometrial tumors obtained at surgery (MET, n = 4; CON, 4) analyzed for proliferation...
Abstract Purpose Pharmacists report high levels of burnout. Mindfulness approaches have been demonstrated to positive results in the general population and other healthcare professions. However, limited studies performed evaluating mindfulness student pharmacists. The aim this study was evaluate effectiveness daily use a mobile application improving pharmacists’ perceived stress, burnout, mindfulness. Methods This randomized, longitudinal, waitlist-controlled trial. intervention group asked...
Abstract Objectives To develop two practice‐site‐level measures of comprehensiveness and examine their associations with patient outcomes, how performance differs from physician‐level measures. Data Sources Medicare fee‐for‐service claims. Study Design We calculated ( new problem management involvement in conditions ) across 5286 primary care physicians (PCPs) at 1339 practices the Comprehensive Primary Care initiative evaluation 2013. assessed practices’ attributed beneficiaries’ 2014 total...
The Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration is designed to increase access comprehensive ambulatory care and crisis services, which may reduce emergency department (ED) visits hospitalizations. This study examined whether the had an impact on ED hospitalizations in Missouri, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania.This difference-in-differences analysis used Medicaid claims data from 2015 2019 examine service use during a 12-month baseline period first 24 months of for...
Occupational training has seen a shift towards newer, more immersive and interactive instruction delivery methods, including virtual reality. Much of this research, however, not fully examined immersion presence as primary characteristic that could influence outcomes. Additionally, variety objective measures indicators environments have received recent, yet limited research attention. This pilot study human performance in reality by monitoring cardiac activity during simple occupational task...

Objective. To create a demonstration that would enhance student understanding of the following acid/base concepts: opposing effects weak acid and its conjugate base, acidifying carbon dioxide on blood pH, resistance buffered solution to changes in pH. Methods. The demonstrations were delivered four different years first-year pharmacy (P1) students three ways: as live in-class demonstrations, series short videos posted online, used both class online. Quizzes administered each set qualitative...

Riding lawn equipment (RLE) is a common household appliance. Methods are needed for systematic evaluation of RLEs in order to promote usability and safety users. Current RLE research guidelines were used as basis developing new tool scoring modern terms range design features. In this paper, we outline the development application riding (RLEval) measuring reporting conformance with existing ISO ANSI safety, usability, functionality standards. Additionally, recommendations made guideline...
