The aim of the study was to determine, within a weight loss clinical trial for obesity, impact intervention arm, change, and maintenance on telomere length (TL).
Diet patterns have a profound influence on glycemic control for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and craving-related eating is an important obstacle to dietary adherence. A growing body of research suggests that carbohydrate-restricted (CR) diets can improve reduce medication dependence in T2DM. However, limited data speak the effects long-term adherence CR diets. Mindful training has been shown overweight populations but yet be examined as behavioral support This trial...
Objective: We aimed to understand the role of stress eating (SE) and compulsive (CE) in metabolic health among adults with obesity, whether mindful training may buffer these associations. Method:We used data from a trial which we randomized 194 participants obesity diet-exercise intervention either plus mindfulness-based management (n=100) or active control components (n=94).We measured SE, CE, weight fasting blood glucose (FBG) at baseline, 12 months, 18 months.We tested SE CE as both...
The aim of this study was to examine whether baseline chronic stress and impulsive risk-taking synergistically predict changes in visceral fat among healthy mothers an observational, longitudinal, 18-month study. A prospective cohort 113 adult women (age, mean ± SD: 42.83 4.70; BMI, 24.86 4.32; 74%, n = 84 white) completed assessments at follow-up. Chronically stressed caring for a child with autism spectrum disorder ("caregivers"; 72 participants) were compared lower neurotypical...
A carbohydrate-restricted (CR) diet can improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There are concerns, however, that the high dietary fat content of CR diets increase low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), thus increasing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Quantifying CVD risk associated changes LDL-C context is complicated by fact reflects heterogeneous lipids. For example, small LDL particle number (sLDL-P) more closely than total LDL-C, and tend to...
Abstract Background Environmental and behavioral interventions hold promise to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage (SSBs) consumption. Purpose To test, among frequent SSB consumers, whether motivations consume SSBs moderated the effects of (a) a workplace sales ban (environmental intervention) alone, (b) “brief motivational intervention” (BI) in addition ban, on changes Methods We assessed (1) baseline (craving, psychological stress, or taste enjoyment) impacted daily consumption at 6-month...
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Multiple induction agents can facilitate rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in management of refractory status epilepticus (rSE), many which have anti-seizure properties. We examine the efficacy and safety used during RSI rSE. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: conducted a single-center retrospective review patients admitted to neuro-ICU intubated for Propofol, ketamine benzodiazepines were considered medication (ASMs), etomidate was not. Patients treated with propofol or midazolam...
Endotracheal intubation, frequently required during management of refractory status epilepticus (RSE), can be facilitated by anesthetic medications; however, their effectiveness for RSE control is unknown. We performed a single-center retrospective review patients admitted to neurocritical care unit (NCCU) who underwent in-hospital intubation management. Patients intubated with propofol, ketamine, or benzodiazepines, termed anti-seizure induction (ASI), were compared received etomidate (EI)....
BACKGROUND: Childhood adversities such as abuse and neglect can be harmful for short long-term health, minimizing exposure is critical prevention. Although there has been increased attention to addressing childhood adversity through screening, referral, intervention in the pediatric setting, solutions are not widely established. The objective of this review evaluate impact pediatric-setting engaged practices address adversities. METHODS: We included English language articles published...
