This study's goal was to evaluate associations of human exposure to unfiltered tap water during the Flint water crisis (FWC) with perceived harm to pets from exposure to contaminated water. We also explored the associations of perceived pet harm with participants' self-reported general, physical, and mental health, as…

Research related to disordered eating among sexual minority Asian American men is scarce. Thus, the present study utilized an intersectional framework to examine how three different forms of racism (i.e. sexual racism, gendered racism, and internalized racism) are associated with disordered eating among sexual minority…

We examined feasibility, acceptability, and benefits of a mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) intervention in a racially and ethnically diverse sample of 318 low-income women in substance use disorder treatment (2003-2006). The study used a single group, repeated measures design. Participant satisfaction was hi…

Body image change is an important component of the treatment of eating disorders, and cognitive behavioral body image therapy has substantial empirical support as efficacious in the improvement of body image difficulties and disorders. Most evidence comes from randomized, controlled, outcome studies and does not examin…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to clarify the effects of methodological variables in the research on age differences in self-rated health and specifically the effects of: (a) the item type used to solicit the appraisal, (b) the approach to sampling, and (c) the criteria for assembling the age groups for study. METHODS: St…

Stringent long-term control of blood glucose concentration in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) can decrease albuminuria, presumably forestalling development of renal insufficiency. Personality characteristics may influence a diabetic patient's ability and willingness to follow a prescribed regim…

This paper documents the growth of Aboriginal children in remote communities and gazetted towns of the Kimberley region in the far north of Western Australia over the past 20 years. The study's specific aim was to compare the height and weight growth of children in different environments from birth to five years of age…

INTRODUCTION: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a highly prevalent, chronic, inflammatory skin disease. Several orally administered Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis, including baricitinib, upadacitinib and abrocitinib) have received a marketing authorisation for AD.Clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have flagged up a p…

BACKGROUND: Action research (AR) provides a robust platform for collaboration to develop and evaluate nursing practice. It results in several outcomes, including changes in evidence-based practice, the development of research capacity, and the evaluation and sustainability of interventions, all of which can be seen as…

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), a prominent tool for expressing assumptions in epidemiologic research, are most useful when the hypothetical data generating structure is correctly encoded. Understanding a study's data generating structure and translating that data structure into a DAG can be challenging, but these skil…

Auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) were elicited by presenting single or multiple, 77-105 Hz amplitude-modulated 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz tones to one or both ears. Objectives of this study were to (i) replicate and extend previous multiple ASSR studies in a quiet double-walled sound booth, and (ii) discover differenc…

Panoramic radiographs and clinical records were used to investigate developmentally absent permanent teeth in 98 subjects with Down syndrome (trisomy-21). This retrospective study was based on the records and panoramic radiographs of subjects from approximately five years of age (the age at which mineralization of the…

Effect size, α level, power, and sample size are misunderstood concepts that play a major role in the design and interpretation of studies. Effect size represents the magnitude of a change in an outcome or the strength of a relationship. Often, the effect size may be more important than just relying on the &#x3b1…

AIM: Incomplete reporting of interventions in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) may hinder the replicability of studies and thus lead to adverse clinical outcomes for patients. Currently, little is known about the completeness of intervention reporting in neurology clinical trials. This study's primary objective was…

Perioperative nurses are participating in a multisite clinical study to identify risk factors for blood and body fluid exposures in OR settings and to create a surveillance database that can be used to assess the benefits of strategies to prevent these exposures. The project is funded by a grant from Becton Dickinson,…

CONTEXT: Avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, is a contagious disease that affects both animals and humans, posing a significant threat to public health, animal welfare, and the economy. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge of avian influenza among poultry farmworkers and evaluate the biosecurity practices…

The concern about anesthesia-induced developmental neurotoxicity (AIDN) in infants and young children arises from animal studies indicating potential long-term neurobehavioral impairments following early-in-life anesthesia exposure. While initial clinical studies provided ambiguous results, recent prospective assessmen…

The purpose of this study was to examine oral health needs and dental care in individuals with trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 (full, mosaic, partial and other, mixed types). Primary feeding method was also examined. Data was collected from a parent-completed, mixed method survey (TRIS Survey). Mean age in months was 120.2 (…

Efforts to detect subtle but objective neuropsychologic deficits could clarify the early involvement of the central nervous system and the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in older children and young adolescents. Baseline examinations of 63 children and adolescents with hemophilia were conduc…

INTRODUCTION: Cognitive impairment and depression are widespread, debilitating conditions that significantly impact quality of life and present major public health challenges. This study aimed to explore the intersection of cognitive impairment and depression, identifying trends, major contributors, influential studies…
