Using data from the 2016-2018 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH), associations between children's ACEs, weight status, and h…

    Kimberly L Klages, Kristoffer S Berlin et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2020

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, costly, and burdensome disease that is typically diagnosed during adolescence. Despite the use of effective treatments, rates of relapse and intestinal inflammation remain high and put patients at risk for long term physical and psychosocial health complications. Given the costs associated with IBD, it is critical to examine potential risk factors of poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among …

  • The Style of Walter Frye and an Anonymous Mass in the Lucca Choirbook

    J CookARTICLEMusic and Letters2015

    The anonymous mass found on fos. 22r –24v of the Lucca Choirbook (Lucca, Archivio di Stato, MS 238 and associated fragments) is a fascinating work, despite the bad damage it has suffered. Its Kyrie shares an unusual structure with only one other mass, Walter Frye’s Nobilis et pulcra , and it is the only three-voice work of certain English provenance outside Frye’s oeuvre that utilizes a low contratenor. Its contrapuntal style, dotted with apparen…

  • A life course approach yields breakthroughs in understanding food insecurity and obesity among Brazilian females

    Open AccessJ Cook, John T CookARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2013References: 8

    Household food insecurity, lack of consistent ac-cess to adequate healthy food for all household members to lead active healthy lives, can be both a cause and consequence of poverty. However, food insecurity is not synonymous or congruent with poverty, and the preponderance of evidence supports treating it primarily as a consequence of poverty, and other factors

  • Remembering Wartime Experiences

    Irene Gilliland, Julie Nadeau et al.ARTICLEJournal of Spirituality in Mental…2010

    Little is known about whether spirituality and religious beliefs were mechanisms of coping and support for nurses serving in the military during a war and if and how these beliefs changed over time. A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach yielded four distinct themes for military nurses serving during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. These themes were caring, connections, compartmentalization, and adaptability. Although religious r…
