Clinical Registered Dietitians, Employers, And Educators Are Interested In Advanced Practice Education And Professional Doctorate Degrees In Clinical Nutrition, Annalynn Skipper, Nancy M. Lewis
Clinical Registered Dietitians, Employers, And Educators Are Interested In Advanced Practice Education And Professional Doctorate Degrees In Clinical Nutrition, Annalynn Skipper, Nancy M. Lewis
Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences: Faculty Publications
A subset of registered dietitians (RDs) is known to practice at an advanced level, but a clear educational pathway supporting advanced medical nutrition therapy practice has not been identified. Thus, an electronic survey was designed to investigate interest of clinical RDs, employers, and educators in advanced practice competencies and professional doctorate degree programs in clinical nutrition. Usable responses were obtained from 440 of 978 (45%) RDs, 61 of 107 (57%) employers, and 76 of 114 (67%) educators. Mean interest (5 = very interested, 1 = very uninterested) in obtaining advanced practice education was highest among RDs (3.93 ±1.01) and was …
Using Initiative To Achieve Autonomy: A Model For Advanced Practice In Medical Nutrition Therapy, Annalynn Skipper, Nancy M. Lewis
Using Initiative To Achieve Autonomy: A Model For Advanced Practice In Medical Nutrition Therapy, Annalynn Skipper, Nancy M. Lewis

The purpose of this research was to generate a model of advanced medical nutrition therapy (MNT) practice based on descriptions of their clinical activities provided by advanced- level MNT practitioners. A qualitative approach using grounded theory methodology was employed. The model of advanced MNT practice was based on interviews with 21 credentialed advanced practice registered dietitians from across the United States and Canada. Verbatim transcripts of the interviews were coded for aggregation into themes and subthemes. The resulting model included a single overarching theme: using initiative to achieve autonomy. The five subthemes are aptitude, attitude, expertise, context, and approach. The …
Validity And Reliability Of A Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire Measuring N-3 Fatty Acid Intakes In Cardiac Patients In The Midwest: A Validation Pilot Study, Paula K. Ritter-Gooder, Nancy M. Lewis, Kimberly B. Heidal, Kent M. Eskridge

The purpose of this pilot study was to test the validity and reliability of a quantitative n-3 fatty acid food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for later use with larger groups of individuals. A convenience sample of heart patients provided dietary data via three 24-hour food recalls and FFQs. Participants were women (n = 17) and men (n = 11), 43 to 77 years of age. The association of mean daily intake of n-3 fatty acids obtained using food recalls and the FFQ was assessed by Pearson correlation. The reliability of the FFQ was assessed using coefficient α. Correlation of n-3 fatty …
Lysine Residues In N-Terminal And C-Terminal Regions Of Human Histone H2a Are Targets For Biotinylation By Biotinidase, Yap Ching Chew, Gabriela Camporeale, Nagarama Kothapalli, Gautam Sarath, Janos Zempleni
Lysine Residues In N-Terminal And C-Terminal Regions Of Human Histone H2a Are Targets For Biotinylation By Biotinidase, Yap Ching Chew, Gabriela Camporeale, Nagarama Kothapalli, Gautam Sarath, Janos Zempleni

In eukaryotic cell nuclei, DNA associates with the core histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 to form nucleosomal core particles. DNA binding to histones is regulated by posttranslational modifications of N-terminal tails (e.g., acetylation and methylation of histones). These modifications play important roles in the epigenetic control of chromatin structure. Recently, evidence that biotinidase and holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) catalyze the covalent binding of biotin to histones has been provided. The primary aim of this study was to identify biotinylation sites in histone H2A and its variant H2AX. Secondary aims were to determine whether acetylation and methylation of histone H2A affect …
