Pancreas, and Liver Accelerated Age respectively (Table1, Fig.5, Supplementary Fig.S5, Supplementary Data TableS1). We found two different loci in AbdAge (rs932274,p = 1E−10) and Pancreas Accelerated Age (rs2672597, p = 3.9E−9) respectively that are close to genes implica...
This study tested the utility of ecological variables created from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for strategic targeting of health services for the underserved. Methods. Ecological variables were created using the 1989-1991 survey years of the NHIS public use data files. Segments, ...
The monitoring of fatigue and energy has been examined as an approach to maintain health, assist in disease management, and improve performance, productivity, and safety. A plethora of methods have been employed in order to monitor fatigue and energy: performance-reported outcomes (PerfRO) [12] ...
The Tele-Lactation Pilot Project (TLPP), 1 of 13 community-based breastfeeding projects implemented in Indiana in 2013 using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grant funds, explored the feasibility of using videoconferencing technology to provide breastfeeding education and support to low-incom...
While there exist numerous methods to identify binary phenotypes (i.e. COPD) using electronic health record (EHR) data, few exist to ascertain the timings of phenotype events (i.e. COPD onset or exacerbations). Estimating event times could enable more powerful use of EHR data for longitudinal...
The objective of this study was to compare the differences in the five-level EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) health state utility scores derived from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and UK tariffs. Six hundred and twenty-one breast cancer patients were invited for a face-to-face interview in Qi...
Absorbed light converted to chemical kinetic energy would cause changes in membrane permeability, improve signaling between mitochondria, nucleus and cytosol, lead to nitric oxide formation, and increase oxidative metabolism to produce more ATP (Karu, 1989; Morimoto et al., 1994; Yu et al., 1997;...
These methods combined computational power with model building about the behavior of the error function in the parameter space, and they improve on manual parameter tuning. To improve the performance of our feature selection and predictive analysis steps we utilized MAQCII-NIEHS (GSE16716) dataset ...
Two intervention participants developed low serum vitamin B12, which normalised with supplementation. At month 5, an intervention group participant underwent cholecystectomy for cholecystitis. DISCUSSION This randomised controlled trial compared a 12-week WFPB dietary programme to normal care alone. The ...
