QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF REFERRALS TO DIABETES EDUCATION
(2019-12-12)Diabetes is a nationwide health concern and the seventh leading cause of death in the Unites States. The disease and its complications negatively impact the health of the patients and increase health care costs. As a chronic ... -
Quality of life and BMI changes in youth participating in an integrated pediatric obesity treatment program
(2013)Background Changes in Quality of Life (QOL) measures over time with treatment of obesity have not previously been described for youth. We describe the changes from baseline through two follow up visits in youth QOL (assessed ... -
Quality of life and BMI changes in youth participating in an integrated pediatric obesity treatment program
(2013-07-10)Changes in Quality of Life (QOL) measures over time with treatment of obesity have not previously been described for youth. We describe the changes from baseline through two follow up visits in youth QOL (assessed by the ... -
Quality of life in school-age children with obesity, the experiences of school nurses, and moral distress associated with care delivery
(East Carolina University, 2016-11-16)Childhood obesity is a multifaceted, complex problem that is associated with many other chronic health conditions. School nurses are well positioned to assess, intervene, and evaluate efforts to positively impact this ... -
Quantification of Health Information Within Parents Magazine
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)The purpose of this study is to quantify the advertisements and information within parenting magazines in order to discover the amount of exposure readers are getting to health related information. This is significant ... -
QUANTIFYING BIOMECHANICAL LOADING ON THE ANKLE TO CLINICALLY ESTIMATE ACHILLES TENDON FORCES DURING HOPPING
(East Carolina University, 2017-04-27)In athletes, Achilles tendinopathy is an overuse injury resulting from biomechanical overload of the Achilles tendon during sporting tasks, such as hopping. Nearly half of individuals with Achilles tendinopathy will fail ... -
Quantifying Double-Strand Breaks and Clustered Damages in DNA by Single-Molecule Laser Fluorescence Sizing
(East Carolina University, 2003-02)Fluorescence from a single DNA molecule passing through a laser beam is proportional to the size (contour length) of the molecule, and molecules of different sizes can be counted with equal efficiencies. Single-molecule ... -
Quantifying the effectiveness of shoreline armoring removal on coastal biota of Puget Sound
(2018-02-23)Shoreline armoring is prevalent around the world with unprecedented human population growth and urbanization along coastal habitats. Armoring structures, such as riprap and bulkheads, that are built to prevent beach erosion ... -
QUANTITATION OF INTERCELLULAR CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SPERMATOGONIA IN THE MOUSE
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-09)Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are critical in the male reproductive process, as they can either self-renew or proliferate into progenitor cells that differentiate to enter meiosis and eventually form functional sperm. ... -
Quantitative acoustic differentiation of cryptic species illustrated with King and Clapper rails
(2018-10-14)Reliable species identification is vital for survey and monitoring programs. Recently, the development of digital technology for recording and analyzing vocalizations has assisted in acoustic surveying for cryptic, rare, ... -
Quantitative analysis and comparison of 3D morphology between viable and apoptotic MCF-7 breast cancer cells and characterization of nuclear fragmentation
(2017-09-08)Morphological changes in apoptotic cells provide essential markers for defining and detection of apoptosis as a fundamental mechanism of cell death. Among these changes, the nuclear fragmentation and condensation have ... -
