School of Medicine Faculty Publications
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, affecting multiple organ systems. CF intestinal disease develops early, manifesting as intestinal bacterial overgrowth/dysbiosis, neutrophilic inflammation, and obstruction. As unresolvable infection and inflammation reflect host immune deficiency, we sought to determine if the CF-affected immune system plays any significant role in CF intestinal disease pathogenesis. METHODS: CF and sibling wild-type (WT) mice underwent reciprocal bone marrow transplantation. After immune reconstitution, their mortality, intestinal transit, fecal inflammatory markers, and mucosal immune cell composition were assessed. Moreover, reciprocal neutrophil transfusion was conducted to determine if neutrophil function affects intestinal movement. …

Clinically, the body mass index remains the most frequently used metric of overall obesity, although it is flawed by its inability to account for different adipose (i.e., visceral, subcutaneous, and inter/intramuscular) compartments, as well as muscle mass. Numerous prior studies have demonstrated linkages between specific adipose or muscle compartments to outcomes of multiple diseases. Although there are no universally accepted standards for body composition measurement, many studies use a single slice at the L3 vertebral level. In this study, we use computed tomography (CT) studies from patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to compare current L3-based techniques with volumetric …

Suicide is a complex phenomenon that is often not preceded by a diagnosed mental health condition, therefore making it difficult to study and mitigate. Artificial Intelligence has increasingly been used to better understand Social Determinants of Health factors that influence suicide outcomes. In this review we find that many studies use limited SDoH information and minority groups are often underrepresented, thereby omitting important factors that could influence risk of suicide.

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications
Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention is a major target for hospital quality metrics because it is linked to increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Health care systems use strict protocols surrounding catheterization and maintenance, which often disregard the clinical needs of special populations (eg, spinal cord injury [SCI]). However, for populations that rely on chronic instrumentation of the bladder, asymptomatic (ie, nonpathogenic) bacterial colonization in the bladder is common but not linked to adverse outcomes. Additionally, alterations in neurologic and sensory function after SCI make it difficult for clinicians to discern asymptomatic bacteriuria from acute urinary tract …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is commonly employed to enhance the force-generating capacity of skeletal muscles. However, no studies have directly compared the PAP response elicited by blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise versus traditional bilateral training (TT). This distinction is critical, as differences in muscle activation are observed when comparing various exercise modalities. PURPOSE: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether a BFR squat exercise would elicit a different PAP response compared to a traditional bilateral squat exercise. METHODS: A within-subjects repeated measures design was used to assess the acute effects of two distinct PAP protocols (traditional …

Concurrent Heart Rate And Energy Expenditure Validity Of Polar Verity Sense Devices During Light And Moderate Intensity Resistance Training In Recreationally Active Adults: A Pilot Study, Collin Dawson, Spencer Maxwell, Olivia Perez, Setareh (Star) Zarei, Devin Green, Bethany Hoag, Michael Wong, Dustin Davis, Jeffrey C. Cowley, Merrill Funk, James W. Navalta Facsm, Marcus M. Lawrence
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Wearable technology is again the top fitness trend from ACSM for 2024. Our lab recently found that bicep-worn devices (Polar Verity Sense) are valid for measuring average/maximal heart rate (HR) but are not valid for estimating energy expenditure (EE) during acute resistance exercise training (RT). We postulated that the errors may have been due to the device’s algorithms assuming higher intensity during RT, but no study has directly tested these outcomes with various RT intensities. PURPOSE: To determine the concurrent validity of identical Polar Verity Sense bicep-devices to record valid measures of average and maximal HR as well as estimated …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Impaired gait is detrimental to the overall quality of life in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Characteristic shuffling and freezing gait patterns can be ameliorated through auditory cueing methods. Internal mental singing is more effective than external cueing methods such as singing aloud. The absence of small laryngeal vibrations could be the reasoning behind these improvements. PURPOSE: This feasibility study aimed to determine whether humming or whispering is a more effective cueing method for improving Parkinsonian gait and extrapolate the effects of the vocal cords on PD gait. METHODS: Participants walked 28m under four randomized cueing conditions: no …

Foot Dorsum Height Is Moderately To Strongly Correlated With Foot And Leg Muscle Size, Karen D. Tunstall, Camille Nguyen, Lee J Hinkle, Nathen D. Stark, Aaron W. Johnson
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Arch height and arch flexibility play important roles in foot and walking mechanics. For example, a highly flexible foot with a low arch (overpronation) is a common foot condition that can negatively impact foot function.

Academic performance, financial burdens and familial pressures are reasons perceived stress is prevalent in university students, especially in first-generation college students (FGCS). In addition, female students often experience more stress than their male counterparts and are more likely to ask for help. Mindfulness Meditation (MM), the nonjudgmental awareness of one’s emotions, thoughts, and external stimuli in the present moment, has been shown to decrease pain sensitivity in long-term meditators and improve cognition and reduce stress acutely. The research on the benefits of a single session of MM or the effects of MM in female FGCS are lacking. PURPOSE: This study …

Caffeine is a commonly used ergogenic aid known to influence cardiopulmonary exercise test outcomes. However, more research is needed to explore the effects of different dosages and the timing of measurements after intake. PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the influence of low and moderate doses of caffeine on cardiorespiratory outcomes during a graded exercise test. Specifically, the study examined the impact of 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg caffeine ingestion, measured 30 minutes after intake, on variables such as VO2, ventilation (VE), tidal volume (VT), respiratory frequency (RF), heart rate (HR), and power output (PO) at various exercise intensities: rest, …
