The concept of essential use for determining when uses of PFASs can be phased out
(2019-05-27)
Because of the extreme persistence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and their associated risks, the Madrid Statement argues for stopping their use where they are deemed not essential or when safer alternatives ...
STepped exercise program for patients with knee OsteoArthritis (STEP-KOA): protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2019-05-28)
Background:
Physical therapy (PT) and other exercise-based interventions are core components of care for knee osteoarthritis (OA), but both are underutilized, and some patients have limited access to PT services. This ...
Structural insights into flagellar stator– rotor interactions
(2019-07-17)
The bacterial flagellar motor is a molecular machine that can rotate the flagellar
filament at high speed. The rotation is generated by the stator–rotor interaction, coupled with an
ion flux through the torque-generating ...
Temporal Association Between Ischemic Muscle Perfusion Recovery and the Restoration of Muscle Contractile Function After Hindlimb Ischemia
(2019-06-28)
During incomplete skeletal muscle recovery from ischemia, such as that occurs with critical limb ischemia, the temporal relationship between recovery of muscle capillary perfusion and contractile function is poorly defined. ...
Testing the Duke Population Health Profile (Duke-PH) in a Sample of Community Health Center Patients
(2019-09-04)
Introduction: Our purpose was to develop and test a brief, self-report, and scorable survey instrument for measuring population health profiles from the individual respondent's perspective. We defined population health as ...
Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Glucose Transport and Glucose Metabolism by Exercise Training
(2019-10-12)
Aerobic exercise training and resistance exercise training are both well-known for their ability to improve human health; especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, there are critical differences between these ...
Pulmonary Exposure to Magnéli Phase Titanium Suboxides Results in Significant Macrophage Abnormalities and Decreased Lung Function
(2019-11-28)
Coal is one of the most abundant and economic sources for global energy production. However, the burning of coal is widely recognized as a significant contributor to atmospheric particulate matter linked to deleterious ...
Prevalence, trends, outcomes, and disparities in hospitalizations for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the United States
(2019-07-17)
Background: As the frequency of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) continues to rise in
the United States (US) community, more patients are hospitalized with NAFLD. However, data
on the prevalence and outcomes of ...
Rehabilitation Intervention for Individuals With Heart Failure and Fatigue to Reduce Fatigue Impact: A Feasibility Study
(2019-12-31)
Objective:
To investigate feasibility of recruitment, tablet use in intervention delivery, and use of self-report outcome measures and to analyze the effect of Energy Conservation plus Problem-Solving Therapy versus Health ...
Refractory Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia With Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Treated With IVIg, Steroids, and a Combination of Anticoagulants: A Case Report
(2019-04-02)
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) type II is caused by antibody production that bind complexes between heparin
and platelet factor 4 leading to platelet consumption and thrombosis. In a small subset of cases referred ...
