Shepherd’s Claim that Sensations Are too Fleeting to Stand in Causal Relations with Other Sensations
Shepherd argues that we can know that there exists a universe external to the mind because that universe is the only possible cause of our sensations. As a part of that argument, Shepherd eliminates the possibility that sensations might be caused by other sensations on the grounds that sensations are merely momentary existences and so not capable of standing in causal relations with each other. And yet she claims that sensations do stand in causa…
Association of Osteoarthritis and Functional Limitations With Cognitive Impairment Among Older Adults in the United States
Objective: Given overlapping pathophysiology, this study sought to assess the association between osteoarthritis (OA), functional impairment, and cognitive impairment in the aging population. Methods: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to identify participants >60 years of age. We analyzed multivariable associations of grouped participants that underwent cognitive function testing using linear and logistic regression, a…
Cross-sectional examination of ultra-processed food consumption and adverse mental health symptoms
Objective: To explore whether individuals who consume higher amounts of ultra-processed food (UPF) have more adverse mental health symptoms. Design: Using a cross-sectional design, we measured the consumption of UPF as a percentage of total energy intake in kilo-calories using the NOVA food classification system. We explored whether individuals who consume higher amounts of UPF were more likely to report mild depression, more mentally unhealthy d…
A multicenter study of diet quality on birth weight and gestational age in infants of HIV‐infected women
We determined factors associated with diet quality and assessed the relationship between diet quality, birth weight, and gestational age in a prospective national multicenter cohort study. We evaluated diet quality with the Healthy Eating Index (HEI, scale 0-100) in the third trimester of pregnancy with three 24-hr multiple-pass dietary recalls in 266 HIV+ women enrolled in the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study. Covariates included demographics, fo…
Increasing Access to Cholesterol Screening in Rural Communities Catalyzes Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
PURPOSE: Despite increasing frequency, little evidence guides cholesterol screening in less traditional health care settings, such as rural health fairs. METHODS: The Miller School of Medicine Department of Community Service (DOCS) is a student-run organization providing free basic health care to underserved South Florida communities. We retrospectively reviewed all new patients seen at 2007 DOCS rural fairs to describe their low-density lipoprot…

The attribution of motivation as a function of output and rewards
Role Adaptation
To examine effects on the curer's role of the contest between indigenous and Western medical systems, the concept of role adaptation is proposed. Anthropological treatment of the curer's role and the role concept are described. Curing role adaptation in selected societies under acculturation is analyzed and a typology derived of the curer's role as adaptive, attenuated, or emergent. Alternative routes to role adaptation or extinction are explored…

Tuscarora Tribalism and National Identity
Pressures of acculturation continue to weaken the cement of Tuscarora tribalism, which so far has held together the retaining wall of social and cultural survival around their reservation community. This is not to presume impending disorganization, but to suggest that the society continues to undergo incisive changes which cut to the quick of traditional ways of life. Nevertheless, it is apparent from the anthropologist Anthony F. C. Wallace's st…
