Impact of BMI, Socioeconomic Status and Bedtime Technology Use on Sleep Duration in Adolescents
(Sage, 2021-09-25)Factors related to adolescents and sleep are understudied. We evaluate the relationship between bedtime technology use (TU), TV in bedroom, weight, and socioeconomic status in seventh graders (N = 3956) enrolled in a ... -
Investigating the Use of Virtual Reality Headsets for Postural Control Assessment: An Instrument Validation Study
(JMIR Publications, 2020-10-11)Accurately measuring postural sway is an important part of balance assessment and rehabilitation. Although force plates give accurate measurements, their costs and space requirements make their use impractical in many ... -
Microscale structural changes of individual fibrin fibers during fibrinolysis
(2022-01-07)Fibrinolysis is the enzymatic digestion of fibrin, the primary structural component in blood clots. Mechanisms of fibrin fiber digestion during lysis have long been debated and obtaining detailed structural knowledge of ... -
Oral health, diabetes, and inflammation: Effects of oral hygiene behavior
(Elsevier, 2021-11-29)The aim of this research was to assess the association between inflammation and oral health and diabetes, as well as the mediating role of oral hygiene practice in this association. Data were from the 2009–2010 National ... -
Photodynamic Therapeutic Effect of Nanostructured Metal Sulfide Photosensitizers for Cancer Treatment
(2022-03-08)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes photosensitizers (PSs) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROSs) upon irradiation, which causes the shutdown of vessels and deprives the tumor of nutrients and oxygen, and in turn induces ... -
Social Media, Social Support and Mental Health of Young Adults during COVID-19
(2022-02-21)The current study examines the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health among young adults in the US, how they use social media and the social support they obtain from the online environment, and the effect on their mental ... -
Solutions of a Class of Multiplicatively Advanced Differential Equations II: Fourier Transforms
(2022-07-07)For a wide class of solutions to multiplicatively advanced differential equations (MADEs), a comprehensive set of relations is established between their Fourier transforms and Jacobi theta functions. In demonstrating this ... -
Soundscape maps of soniferous fishes observed from a mobile glider
(2022-03-10)Most passive acoustic studies of the soundscape rely on fixed recorders, which provide good temporal resolution of variation in the soundscape, but poor spatial coverage. In contrast, a mobile recording device can show ... -
Storm surge and ponding explain mangrove dieback in southwest Florida following Hurricane Irma
(Springer Nature, 2021-06-28)Mangroves buffer inland ecosystems from hurricane winds and storm surge. However, their ability to withstand harsh cyclone conditions depends on plant resilience traits and geomorphology. Using airborne lidar and satellite ... -
Synaptic Hyaluronan Synthesis and CD44-Mediated Signaling Coordinate Neural Circuit Development
(MDPI, 2021-09-28)The hyaluronan-based extracellular matrix is expressed throughout nervous system development and is well-known for the formation of perineuronal nets around inhibitory interneurons. Since perineuronal nets form postnatally, ... -
The M2a macrophage phenotype accompanies pulmonary granuloma resolution in Mmp12 knock-out mice instilled with multiwall carbon nanotubes
(MDPI, 2021-10-13)Sarcoidosis is a chronic disease with unknown etiology and pathophysiology, characterized by granuloma formation. Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12) is an elastase implicated in active granulomatous sarcoidosis. Previously, ... -
Trans Adults Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic: Quality of Life, Pandemic Impact, and Vaccine Preferences
(2021-11-28)The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately impacting marginalized communities, such as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), disabled individuals, and transgender/nonbinary (i.e., trans) individuals. As ...
