Registered nurses (RNs) play a critical role in health care delivery. With an aging US population, demand is growing at unprecedented pace. Using projected changes population size and age, the authors developed supply models to forecast RN job shortage each of 50 states. Letter grades were assigned based on ratios. The number states receiving grade “D” or “F” for their ratio will increase from 5 2009 30 by 2030, total national deficit 918 232 (725 619 - 1 112 112) jobs. There be significant...
Poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the relationship between CRF atrial fibrillation (AF) less clear. The aim of this analysis was to investigate association incident AF in a large, multiracial cohort that underwent graded exercise treadmill testing.From 1991 2009, total 64 561 adults (mean age, 54.5±12.7 years; 46% female; 64% white) without testing at tertiary care center. Baseline demographic clinical...
To determine the longer-term effects of metformin treatment and behavioral weight loss on gut microbiota short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).We conducted a 3-parallel-arm, randomized trial. We enrolled overweight/obese adults who had been treated for solid tumors but no ongoing cancer them (n = 121) to either 1) (up 2,000 mg), 2) coach-directed loss, or 3) self-directed care (control) 12 months. collected stool serum at baseline 114), 6 months 109), 105). From stool, we extracted microbial DNA...
Although orthostatic hypotension (OH) has long been recognized as a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction, growing body literature identified OH common comorbidity hypertension. This connection is complex, related to pathophysiology in blood pressure regulation and the manner by which derived difference between 2 measurements. While traditional therapeutic approaches among patients with neurodegenerative disorders focus on increasing upright prevent cerebral hypoperfusion, management...
<h3>Importance</h3> β-Blockers are prescribed to most patients with heart failure (HF) a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but their effect on HFpEF remains unclear. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the association of β-blocker use HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, overall in strata an (EF) 50% or greater less than 50%. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> For 1761 participants from North South America enrolled multicenter, double-blinded Treatment Preserved...
Abstract Objective To determine the association and prevalence of gout among overweight, obese, morbidly obese segments US population. Methods Among participants (age ≥20 years) National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys in 1988–1994 2007–2010, status was ascertained by self‐report a physician diagnosis. Body mass index (BMI) examined categories <18.5 kg/m 2 , 18.5–24.9 25–29.9 30–34.9 ≥35 as continuous variable. The cross‐sectional BMI category with adjusted for demographic...
Guidelines recommend assessing orthostatic hypotension (OH) 3 minutes after rising from supine to standing positions. It is not known whether measurements performed immediately predict adverse events as strongly closer minutes.To compare early vs later OH and their association with history of dizziness longitudinal outcomes.This was a prospective cohort study middle-aged (range, 44-66 years) participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk Communities Study (1987-1989).Orthostatic hypotension,...
Randomized trial data guiding dietary recommendations to lower serum uric acid (UA), the etiologic precursor of gout, are scarce. We undertook this study examine effects Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet (a well-established that lowers blood pressure) and levels sodium intake on UA.We conducted an ancillary a randomized, crossover feeding in 103 adults with prehypertension or stage I hypertension. Participants were randomly assigned receive either DASH control (typical average...
To examine associations of orthostatic hypotension (OH) with dementia and long-term cognitive decline to update previously published results in the same cohort for stroke an additional 16 years follow-up.We analyzed data from 11,709 participants without a history coronary heart disease or who attended baseline examination (1987-1989) prospective Atherosclerosis Risk Communities (ARIC) study. OH was defined as drop systolic blood pressure (BP) at least 20 mm Hg diastolic BP 10 on standing....

BACKGROUND: Hypotensive episodes detected by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring capture daily cumulative hypotensive stress and could be clinically relevant to cognitive impairment, but this relationship remains unclear. METHODS: We included participants from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (receiving intensive or standard BP treatment) who had measured near 27-month visit subsequent biannual assessments. evaluated associations of (defined as systolic drops ≥20...
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk differs across Asian subgroups, possibly due to differences in hypertension burden. We characterized lifetime blood pressure (BP) trajectories for East and South individuals compared their associations with CVD risk. METHODS: Among 148 872 UK Biobank participants primary care utilization data, life course BP were fitted as a function of age by sex according self-identified ethnicity. determined time-averaged young adulthood (18–39 years), middle...
Increased physical fitness is protective against cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that increased would be inversely associated with hypertension.We examined the association of prevalent and incident hypertension in 57 284 participants from The Henry Ford ExercIse Testing (FIT) Project (1991–2009). Fitness was measured during a clinician‐referred treadmill stress test. Incident defined as new diagnosis on 3 separate consecutive encounters derived electronic medical records or...
