Availability Of Buprenorphine Treatment In Kentucky, Elijah T. Myers, Tyrone F. Borders
Institute for Rural Health Policy Reports
Drug overdose and substance use treatment admissions data indicate that opioid use is problematic in Kentucky, but little information exists about the geographic availability of buprenorphine treatment across the state. Furthermore, there is even less information about the characteristics of the physicians prescribing buprenorphine. This report describes the availability of buprenorphine treatment in Kentucky.

The subject technology relates, in part, to a method of treating Alzheimer's Disease (AD), early-stage AD, elevated risk of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or other forms of age-related cognitive decline in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject a molecule that promotes calcium-release stabilization in ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and/or inosital triphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs) in brain cells. Diagnostic methods using calcium-release stabilizing immunophilins, junctophilins or calmodulin are also disclosed.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the most common developmental disorders. However, there are still no epidemiological studies of ASD in African countries. In Nigeria, many children are diagnosed with ASD late or only if there are symptoms that severely inhibit their ability to function. Moreover, there are limited treatment options. This paper will describe the efforts of Patrick Speech and Languages Centre (Patrick’s), the first center in Nigeria specifically for children with ASD, which was set up to assess and treat autism.

High-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) affects individuals residing at altitudes of 2,500 meters and higher. Numerous pathogenic variables play a role in disease inception and progression and include low oxygen concentration in inspired air, vasculopathy, and metabolic abnormalities. Since HAPH affects only some people living at high altitude genetic factors play a significant role in its pathogenesis.
The clinical presentation of HAPH is nonspecific and includes fatigue, shortness of breath, cognitive deficits, cough, and in advanced cases hepatosplenomegaly and overt right-sided heart failure. A thorough history is important and should include a search for additional risk factors for lung disease and …
Impact Of Partner Support On Time To First Treatment For Women With Breast Cancer, Laura Anne Cannon
Impact Of Partner Support On Time To First Treatment For Women With Breast Cancer, Laura Anne Cannon
Theses and Dissertations--Public Health (M.P.H. & Dr.P.H.)
Background: Treatment delays have been linked to decreased survival in women with breast cancer. Many women rely on their spouse or partner to provide support following breast cancer diagnosis. To date, little research has explored the effects of partner supportive behaviors on timely receipt of recommended cancer treatment and ultimately cancer survival.
Objective: To determine whether women identified as having lower partner support experience delays in time to first breast cancer treatment relative to women with highly supportive partners.
Methods: Women aged 18-79 who were diagnosed with incident and primary breast cancer within the past 12 months and included in …
