  • Disentangling depression in women with diabetes

    Open AccessNicole Beaulieu Pérez, Paula Gordillo Sierra et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2026

    While preliminary, our findings suggest that associations between inflammatory biomarkers and depression may not be consistent across all depressive measures or symptom dimensions. Although larger samples with repeated measures are needed, findings from this exploratory study suggest that including inflammatory measures beyond hsCRP and IL-6, together with tools that capture distinct depressive symptom dimensions, may help to inform future precis…

  • Explaining Racial/Ethnic Dietary Patterns in Relation to Type 2 Diabetes

    Sarah Nowlin, Sarah Y Nowlin et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2016

    Racial/ethnic disparities in dietary patterns are present in individuals without T2D, but differences are not statistically significant in those with undiagnosed or diagnosed T2D. Non-Hispanic Blacks without T2D received significantly lower HEI-2010 scores than non-Hispanic Whites. Further research is necessary to determine whether or not similarities in dietary intake across racial/ethnic groups with T2D will be reflected in diabetes-related hea…

  • Linguistic Services in Ambulatory Clinics

    Open AccessElisa Brettler Vandervort, Gail D’eramo Melkus et al.ARTICLEJournal of Transcultural Nursing2003

    A review of the literature reveals few studies that focus on the challenge of language barriers in primary care settings. Recognizing the need for a national consensus on cultural and linguistic standards for health care in the United States, the Office of Minority Health recently released a set of standards for culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS). These standards were utilized to examine the linguistic services available at…
