Dietary Advice on Prescription (DAP). A Pedagogical Model for Better Dietary Habits Tested in a Two-Year Randomized Clinical Trial. 

There Is A Gap Between What We Know And What We Do, Such As Knowing What We Should Eat And What We Actually Eat, A So-Called “Attitude/Behavior Gap”. It Is Not Necessary To Go From A Change In Attitude To A Change In Behavior. It Is Possible To Do The Opposite; In Other Words, It Is Possible To Go F…

The Use of Predictive Markers for the Development of a Model to Predict Lowest Quartile Weight Loss following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Introduction: The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) has been one of the most popular surgeries in the USA for years. While many models have been made to investigate the factors that affect weight loss, these factors are still highly debated. Objective: To create a model that predict performance of RYG…

COLLAGE 360: A Model of Person-Centered Care to Promote Health Among Older Adults

Health care leaders and providers have introduced the assumption the typical elder, even in the presence of complex, chronic disease and prevailing illness, is capable of assuming greater personal responsibility for their health care, with a shift from provider-centered to a person-centered model of…

Biocompatible Scaffolds for Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Transplantation and Modeling Post-Stroke Recovery in Three-Dimensional Neural Cell Culture

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) demonstrate promise in their ability to differentiate into neural cells and ultimately replace the cell types and thereby brain tissue damaged by stroke. This may diminish cognitive impairment due to stroke. Prior to transplantation, an appropriate scaff…

Reasons for the Low Male Involvement in Routine Child Immunization in Hoima District Uganda using the Attitude, Social Influence and Self Efficacy Model

Millions of children continue to miss immunizations each year despite global increases in financing and advances in vaccine technology. Male involvement in routine child immunization activities could improve and sustain coverage but is rarely emphasized in immunization programs or research. This stu…

A High Volume, User-Friendly Immunization Clinic in Vellore, India: A Model for Urban Hospitals

The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in India delivers vaccines under its policy, through government hospitals, health centers and outreach clinics. However, the national average full immunization coverage is stagnating at about 70%. The days and times of clinics are not always convenient for…

Early Glycine Supplementation Re-Establishes Adrenal Catecholamine Secretion in Hypothalamic Obesity Model in Rats but does not Affect Visceral Adiposity.

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that features a multifactorial syndrome characterized by a chronic positive energetic unbalance. Neonatal administration of monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) causes lesion on the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus that led to development of obesity in the adult life in rodent…

Laryngeal Tissue Engineering using Rabbit Adipose Derived Stem Cells in Fibrin: A Pre-Clinical Model

Vocal fold scarring is a clinical problem without reliable treatment. Tissue engineering of a vocal fold replacement is an exciting potential treatment for vocal fold scars that involve multiple layers of the vocal fold. Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) were previously used to produce a promis…

Development of a Model-Based Noninvasive Glucose Monitoring Device for Non-Insulin Dependent People

Continuous-time glucose monitoring (CGM) effectively improves glucose control, as oppose to infrequent glucose measurements (i.e. using Lancet Meters), by providing frequent blood glucose concentration (BGC) to better associate this variation with changes in behavior. Currently, the most widely used…

Modern Proteomics: Methods and Applications – Special Issue

Technical Evaluation of Automated Left Ventricular Quantification in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Comparison with Manual Reference Measurements

Background Automated left ventricular (LV) quantification may reduce the manual post-processing burden of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging but requires evaluation against manual reference measurements before routine clinical use. Purpose To evaluate automated CMR post-processing for LV quant…

Impact of Shift Work on Heart Health: Do Shift-Working Healthcare Workers Have Higher Cardiovascular Risk Than Non-Shift Healthcare Workers? A Narrative Review

Background: Shift work is unavoidable in continuous healthcare delivery, but whether shift-working healthcare staff carry greater cardiovascular risk than their non-shift colleagues has not been synthesised endpoint by endpoint. Objective: To examine, for each cardiovascular risk factor and each cli…

Spatial misalignment of micro-environmental hazards: how containers drive mosquito risk in New Orleans

Mosquito-borne risk in Gulf Coast cities is often attributed to broad environmental pressures, yet the extent to which parcel-level conditions drive standing water and larval habitats remains uncertain. This study analyzes environmental predictors of mosquito-relevant indicators across New Orleans u…

Frond emission from pinnae tips in Nephrolepis cordifolia

The emission of completely developed secondary fronds from pinnae tips is described for the first time in a fern belonging to the species Nephrolepis cordifolia. The phenotype described in the paper has so far been reported very rarely and only in other Nephrolepisspecies. The phenotype demonstrates…

The Advantages of Employing the Immune Response Mediated by Immunoglobulins in Preclinical and Clinical Research: An Essential Review

Immunoglobulins, commonly known as antibodies, are glycoprotein molecules present on B lymphocytes and within the bloodstream. They are essential components of the immune response, as they detect the harmful molecules of test compounds and stimulate the immune system to manifest proportional counter…

Breastfeeding Reimagined: Examining Augmented Reality, Maternal Support, and Breast Pumping Experiences in a Randomized Mixed-Methods Study

Background Pump-dependent milk expression frequently occurs in environments that lack the sensory and emotional cues associated with direct breastfeeding, which may interfere with relaxation and milk let-down. Emerging digital technologies such as augmented reality (AR) may help recreate visual and…

From Pelvis to Foot, Part II: A Longitudinal Kinetic Chain Hypothesis for Eversion Ankle Sprains in Athletes

Background Eversion ankle sprains, although less common than inversion injuries, are often associated with greater severity and more complex recovery patterns. Their biomechanical origin remains less clearly understood. Objective To propose a functional, longitudinal kinetic chain model in which ant…

Skilled Birth Attendance and Quality of Life among Young Mothers in Eastern Uganda: Evidence from a Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction Skilled birth attendance (SBA) is a proven intervention for reducing maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality through the prevention and management of childbirth complications. While its survival benefits are well established, less is known about its association with health-related…

Survival Differences After Diagnosis of Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer by Race and Ethnicity and Neighborhood-Level Socioeconomic Status

Background The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (eoCRC), diagnosed at age <50 years, is increasing in the United States. Prior studies using national and state cancer databases have observed higher eoCRC mortality after diagnosis among non-Hispanic Black (NHB) patients. These studies, howe…

Maternal Healthcare Utilization and Health-Related Quality of Life among Young Pregnant Mothers Aged 10-24 Years in Eastern Uganda: A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction Young pregnant mothers experience heightened biological, social, and economic vulnerabilities that may compromise health-related quality of life (HRQoL), especially in low-resource settings. Although maternal healthcare service utilization (MHCSU) improves clinical outcomes, evidence li…
