First Aid and Pre-Hospital Management of Venomous Snakebites
(2018-04-24)Background: Antivenom is the definitive treatment for venomous snakebites, but is expensive and not available in many rural and poorly developed regions. Timely transportation to facilities that stock and administer ... -
Food venue choice, consumer food environment, but not food venue availability within daily travel patterns are associated with dietary intake among adults, Lexington Kentucky 2011
(2013-01-29)The retail food environment may be one important determinant of dietary intake. However, limited research focuses on individuals' food shopping behavior and activity within the retail food environment. This study's aims ... -
Formation of Protein Networks between Mucins: Molecular Dynamics Study Based on the Interaction Energy of the System
(2019-09-06)Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for a model aqueous solution of mucin. As mucin is a central part of lubricin, a key component of synovial fluid, we investigate its ability to form cross-linked networks. ... -
Founder effects and species introductions: A host versus parasite perspective
(2019-08-07)Species colonizations (both natural and anthropogenic) can be associated with genetic founder effects, where founding populations demonstrate significant genetic bottlenecks compared to native populations. Yet, many ... -
Four Kinds of Hard: An Understanding of Cancer and Death among Latino Community Leaders
(2021-03-23)Early integration of palliative care after a diagnosis of cancer improves outcomes, yet such care for Latino populations is lacking in rural regions of the United States. We used a participatory action research design with ... -
