Shared Care Contributions To Self-Care And Quality Of Life In Chronic Cardiac Patients, Margaret Sebern, Roger Brown, Patricia Flatley Brennan

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Shared care is an interpersonal interaction system composed of communication, decision making, and reciprocity; it is used by patients and family caregivers (care dyads) to exchange social support. This study’s purpose was to describe the contributions of shared care to outcomes for individuals with cardiac disease. A secondary data analysis was used to answer the following questions. What is the association between elements of shared care and patient outcomes? Do dyad perceptions of shared care differentially contribute to patient outcomes? Participants in this study were 93 individuals with a cardiac disease and 93 family caregivers. Composite index structured equation modeling …

Spoelstra, Charles W. Given, Alla Sikorskii, Constantinos K. Coursaris, Atreyee Majumder, Tracy Dekoekkoek, Monica Schueller, Barbara A. Given

Peer Reviewed Articles

Introduction: This multisite, randomized controlled trial assigned 75 adult cancer patients prescribed an oral anticancer agent to either an experimental group that received daily text messages for adherence for 21 days plus usual care or a control group that received usual care.

Materials and Methods: Measures were administered at baseline, weekly (Weeks 1–8), and at exit (Week 9). A satisfaction survey was conducted following the intervention. Acceptability, feasibility, and satisfaction were examined. Primary outcomes were adherence and symptoms. Secondary outcomes were depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, cognition, physical function, and social support. Mixed or general linear models were used for the analyses …

The Future Is In The Numbers: The Power Of Predictive Analysis In The Biomedical Educational Environment, Charles A. Gullo Phd

Biochemistry and Microbiology

Biomedical programs have a potential treasure trove of data they can mine to assist admissions committees in identification of students who are likely to do well and help educational committees in the identification of students who are likely to do poorly on standardized national exams and who may need remediation. In this article, we provide a step-by-step approach that schools can utilize to generate data that are useful when predicting the future performance of current students in any given program. We discuss the use of linear regression analysis as the means of generating that data and highlight some of the …

Her uncle went to Germany with his own children and her son to protect them from the kidnapping threats.

Although Lima’s son was safer in Germany, she still faced threats because of her work as …

Impact Of Long-Term Endurance Training Vs. Guideline-Based Physical Activity On Brain Structure In Healthy Aging, Katelyn N. Wood, Robert Nikolov, J. Kevin Shoemaker

Bone and Joint Institute

© 2016 Wood, Nikolov and Shoemaker. Brain structure is a fundamental determinant of brain function, both of which decline with age in the adult. Whereas short-term exercise improves brain size in older adults, the impact of endurance training on brain structure when initiated early and sustained throughout life, remains unknown. We tested the hypothesis that long-term competitive aerobic training enhances cortical and subcortical mass compared to middle to older-aged healthy adults who adhere to the minimum physical activity guidelines. Observations were made in 16 masters athletes (MA; 53 ± 6 years, VO2max = 55 ± 10 ml/kg/min, training > 15 years), …

Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Alters Auditory-Motor Integration For Voice Control, Weifeng Li, Ziyi Chen, Nan Yan, Jeffery A. Jones, Zhiqiang Guo, Xiyan Huang, Shaozhen Chen, Peng Liu, Hanjun Liu

Psychology Faculty Publications

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common drug-refractory focal epilepsy in adults. Previous research has shown that patients with TLE exhibit decreased performance in listening to speech sounds and deficits in the cortical processing of auditory information. Whether TLE compromises auditory-motor integration for voice control, however, remains largely unknown. To address this question, event-related potentials (ERPs) and vocal responses to vocal pitch errors (1/2 or 2 semitones upward) heard in auditory feedback were compared across 28 patients with TLE and 28 healthy controls. Patients with TLE produced significantly larger vocal responses but smaller P2 responses than healthy controls. Moreover, …

Increasing morbidity and mortality from Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) present an enormous challenge to healthcare systems. Clostridium difficile express type IV pili (T4P), but their function remains unclear. Many chronic and recurrent bacterial infections result from biofilms, surface-associated bacterial communities embedded in an extracellular matrix. CDI may be biofilm mediated; T4P are important for biofilm formation in a number of organisms. We evaluate the role of T4P in C. difficile biofilm formation using RNA sequencing, mutagenesis and complementation of the gene encoding the major pilin pilA1, and microscopy. RNA sequencing demonstrates that, in comparison to other growth phenotypes, C. difficile …

Introduction. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the disease entity that leading cause of morbidity and mortality in worldwide. Treadmill test is part of the diagnostic modality which readily available to assess possibility of narrowing coronary artery and guiding us whether we need for the further investigation. Despite of that, treadmill test has limitation in diagnostic accuracy. Duke Treadmill Score (DTS) was also tested as a diagnostic score, and shown to predict significant CAD better than the ST-segment response alone. Methods.

Diagnostic Value And The Role Of Inferior Vena Cava Diametercollapsibility Index To Evaluate Dry Weight In Hemodialysispatients, Muhammad Artisto Adi Yussac, Dharmeizar Dharmeizar, Murdani Abdullah, Dono Antono, Muhadi Muhadi

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Introduction. In daily clinical practice, fluid status in Hemodialysis (HD) patients is well correlated with dry weight calculation. Dry weight calculation is commonly practiced by clinical observation, which is not accurate. Because of these, few methods has been suggested to calculate the dry weight non-invasively. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is widely available in overseas but not readily available in all dialysis center in Indonesia, while inferior vena cava diameter is a relatively inexpensive method, and readily available in all dialysis center because it can be performed with ultrasonography (USG) instrument. Methods. A cross-sectional study was performed in a group of …

The Impact Of Competitive Foods On Children’S Fruit And Vegetable Consumption: An Observational Plate Waste Study, Janie W. Cole, Christopher R. Aloia, Lacy M. Dodd, Kathy B. Knight

Journal of Human Sciences and Extension

Little is known about the effect of competitive foods on children’s consumption of lunch meals in elementary schools in Mississippi. The objective of this observational study was to examine how competitive food purchases affect entrée, fruit, and vegetable consumption using the quarter-waste method. A total of 862 meals and purchase of competitive foods were observed. Children who purchased ice cream or pudding were 1.6 times more likely to throw away more than 50% of their entrée, 3.5 times more likely to not eat their vegetables, and more than two times more likely to not eat their fruit than children who …
