Entropy Production Associated with Aggregation into Granules in a Subdiffusive Environment
(2018-08-30)
We study the entropy production that is associated with the growing or shrinking of a small granule in, for instance, a colloidal suspension or in an aggregating polymer chain. A granule will fluctuate in size when the ...
Weight-loss and exercise for communities with arthritis in North Carolina (we-can): design and rationale of a pragmatic, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial
(2017-02-22)
Background: Recently, we determined that in a rigorously monitored environment an intensive diet-induced weight loss of 10% combined with exercise was significantly more effective at reducing pain in men and women with ...
Triclosan Disrupts SKN-1/Nrf2- Mediated Oxidative Stress Response in C. elegans and Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(2017-10-03)
Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial chemical with potential endocrine-disrupting properties, may pose a risk to early embryonic development and cellular homeostasis during adulthood. Here, we show that TCS induces toxicity ...
Adolescent BMI: The Importance of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors
(2018-04-13)
Objectives:
Research shows that weight trends in adolescence persist into adulthood, but do the same factors contribute to weight in adolescence
as in adulthood? Are extrinsic factors presumably more important than ...

(2018-08-03)
To better understand the barriers to implementing policy; systems; and environmental
(PSE) change initiatives within Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed)
programming in U.S. rural communities; ...
Adduction to arginine detoxifies aflatoxin B1 by eliminating genotoxicity and altering in vitro toxicokinetic profiles
(2018-01-12)
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a class 1 carcinogen and prominent food contaminant,
is highly linked to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and plays a
causative role in a large portion of global HCC cases. We have ...
A rapid assessment of co-benefits and trade-offs among Sustainable Development Goals
(2017-06-15)
Achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) results in many ecological, social, and
economic consequences that are inter-related. Understanding relationships between sustainability goals ...
Widespread brain reorganization perturbs visuomotor coordination in early glaucoma
(2019-10-02)
Glaucoma is the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness, and falls are a major public health
concern in glaucoma patients. Although recent evidence suggests the involvements of the brain toward
advanced glaucoma ...
A mixed method analysis of patients' complaints: Underpinnings of theory-guided strategies to improve quality of care
(2018-10-10)
Purpose:
Patients' complaints can be predictors of patient care quality and safety. Understanding patients' complaints could help healthcare organizations target the areas for improvements. The purpose of this study is ...
An Emerging Natural History in the Development, Mechanisms and Worldwide Prevalence of Major Mental Disorders
(2016-12-30)
Conciliating recent findings from molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, and clinical observations together point to new understandings regarding the mechanism, development and the persistent worldwide prevalence of ...
