“The start of something that I hope could be greater”
Federal policies and professional guidelines in the United States increasingly encourage and incentivize health systems to collect and meaningfully respond to patients' social risks. In response, many health systems employ health information technology to implement, standardize, and scale these social care activities. We created and evaluated electronic health record tools to support the collection and documentation of social risk information, an…
Autonomic modulation and skeletal muscle oxygenation with intermittent low-load blood flow restriction knee extension
Unilateral BFR exercise with individualized cuff pressure and intermittent application facilitated greater localized muscular stress and perceptual effort, but there was no influence of vascular occlusion on post-exercise autonomic modulation compared to volume-matched exercise with free blood flow
Combinations of light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity in midlife and old age
BACKGROUND: Although the relationship between physical activity (PA) and healthy cognitive aging is well-established, little is known about how different combinations of PA across intensities and life domains may uniquely buffer against declines in cognitive health. PURPOSE: This study examined the role of modifiable profiles of light, moderate, and vigorous PA that may operate in tandem across domains to protect cognition in midlife and old age.…
Applying Realist Retroduction to EHR-Based Clinical Decision Support Tool Development
The application of realist-informed approaches to implementation research can produce answers to why, for whom and under what circumstances social determinants of health interventions work. In the context of a study to develop and test EHR-based clinical decision support tools that suggest adjusting care plans in response to patient-reported financial, housing, food, transportation, and utilities insecurity, the authors applied an innovative use …
Unwinding of Continuous Medicaid Coverage Among Patients at Community Health Centers
This retrospective cohort study uses data from the Accelerating Data Value Across a National Community Health Center Network to assess patterns of Medicaid disenrollment during the first 6 months after the end of continuous enrollment
Muscle specific declines in oxygen saturation during acute ambulation with hands-free and conventional mobility devices
Disuse is associated with reduced muscle oxygen saturation (SmO 2 ). Improving oxygen delivery to tissues is important for healing, preventing muscle atrophy, and reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Mobility devices are used during disuse periods to ambulate and protect the injured limb. This study examined SmO 2 in walking and ambulation with various mobility devices. Thirty-eight participants randomly completed four, ten-minute trials wh…
Climatic controls and costly signaling
In this paper, we explore and integrate different currencies that may underlie large-game hunting to guide a trans-Holocene analysis of variation in artiodactyl utilization using massive archaeofaunal data-sets from predominantly open-air sites from the Bonneville and Wyoming basins. The available empirical data continue to suggest that artiodactyls yield consistently higher return rates than lagomorphs allowing us to leverage predictions from bo…
Getting better or getting by
In the United States, approximately 292,000 adults (>18 years old) per year suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Survival rates have increased over the last decade and many survivors return to their communities. IHCA has been recognized as a unique disease entity because the arrest happens in a medical care setting and survivors often have more medical co-morbidities. Although more individuals are surviving IHCA, very little is known abou…
Health Insurance Is Associated with Decreased Odds for Undiagnosed Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes in American Adults
Over a third of adults in the United States have prediabetes, and many of those with prediabetes will progress to type 2 diabetes within 3-5 years. Health insurance status may factor into a proper diagnosis of prediabetes and diabetes. This study sought to determine the associations between health insurance and undiagnosed prediabetes and diabetes in a national sample of American adults. Publicly available data from 13,029 adults aged 18-64 years…
Handgrip Strength Asymmetry and Weakness Are Differentially Associated with Functional Limitations in Older Americans
Background: Handgrip strength (HGS) is a convent measure of strength capacity and associated with several age-related health conditions such as functional disability. Asymmetric strength between limbs has been linked to diminished function. Therefore, both HGS asymmetry and weakness could be associated with functional disability. We examined the associations of HGS asymmetry and weakness on functional limitations in a nationally representative sa…
Daily Protein Intake and Distribution of Daily Protein Consumed Decreases Odds for Functional Disability in Older Americans
Objective: We sought to determine whether daily protein intake and protein distribution across eating occasions were associated with functional disability in a national sample of older Americans. Methods : Data from 8,070 adults aged ≥60 years from the 2007-2016 waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included. Protein intake and functional capacity was self-reported. A daily protein recommendation of ≥1.0 g/kg/day was …
The Association Between Handgrip Strength and Diabetes on Activities of Daily Living Disability in Older Mexican Americans
Muscle weakness and diabetes were independently and jointly associated with higher rates for ADL disability in older Mexican Americans
Muscle weakness and functional limitations in an ethnically diverse sample of older adults
Objectives: Muscle weakness is often linked to functional limitations in older adults. However, certain demographic characteristics, such as ethnicity, may differentially impact the association between weakness and functional limitations. This investigation sought to (1) identify sex- and ethnically-specific muscle weakness thresholds associated with functional limitations among older adults, and (2) determine the odds of functional limitations f…
