Cardiovascular Disease Risk Management in Persons With HIV: Does Clinician Specialty Matter?
(Open forum infectious diseases, 2020-09)<h4>Background</h4>The impact of clinician specialty on cardiovascular disease risk factor outcomes among persons with HIV (PWH) is unclear.<h4>Methods</h4>PWH receiving care at 3 Southeastern US academic HIV clinics between ... -
Characterizing the Role of the Previously Undescribed Protein Caskin2 in Vascular Biology
(2016)Maintenance of vascular homeostasis is an active process that is dependent on continuous signaling by the quiescent endothelial cells (ECs) that line mature vessels. Defects in vascular homeostasis contribute to numerous ... -
Commentary on Winhusen et al. (2019): Substance use disorders, chronic diseases, and electronic health records-a paradigm for screening and intervention.

Complex Role for E-Prostanoid 4 Receptors in Hypertension.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2019-02)Background Prostaglandin E2 ( PGE 2) is a major prostanoid with multiple actions that potentially affect blood pressure ( BP ). PGE 2 acts through 4 distinct E-prostanoid ( EP ) receptor isoforms: EP 1 to EP 4. The EP 4 ... -
Egg Consumption and Risk of Total and Cause-Specific Mortality: An Individual-Based Cohort Study and Pooling Prospective Studies on Behalf of the Lipid and Blood Pressure Meta-analysis Collaboration (LBPMC) Group.
(Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2019-06-07)The associations of egg consumption with total, coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke mortality are poorly understood. We prospectively evaluated the link between total, CHD, and stroke mortality with egg consumption ... -
Examining Patterns and Predictors of Diet Tracking via Mobile Technologies Among Women with Hypertension
(2019)Background: Hypertension is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that hypertension may have a more severe effect on cardiovascular disease outcomes among women. To mitigate this risk ... -
Facilitators and barriers to hypertension self-management in urban African Americans: perspectives of patients and family members.
(Patient Prefer Adherence, 2013)INTRODUCTION: We aimed to inform the design of behavioral interventions by identifying patients' and their family members' perceived facilitators and barriers to hypertension self-management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted ... -
Hypertension and HIV in Northern Tanzania
(2019)Background: Hypertension, a leading risk for cardiovascular mortality, is an important co-morbidity among people living with HIV (PLWH). Understanding the epidemiologic patterns of hypertension and barriers to hypertension ... -
Immunologic Effects of the Renin-Angiotensin System.
(J Am Soc Nephrol, 2017-02-01)Inappropriate activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) exacerbates renal and vascular injury. Accordingly, treatment with global RAS antagonists attenuates cardiovascular risk and slows the progression of proteinuric ... -
Novel ACE2-Fc chimeric fusion provides long-lasting hypertension control and organ protection in mouse models of systemic renin angiotensin system activation.
(Kidney international, 2018-04-21)Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a carboxypeptidase that potently degrades angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7. Previous studies showed that injection of the enzymatic ectodomain of recombinant ACE2 (rACE2) markedly ... -
Panel Study in Beijing: The Effects of PM2.5 in Pre-diabetic Populations
(2015)Background - Multiple research studies have demonstrated consistent associations between particulate matter smaller than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) and relevant health endpoints of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic ... -
Patient-provider communication, self-reported medication adherence, and race in a postmyocardial infarction population.
(Patient Prefer Adherence, 2015)OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were to: 1) describe patient-reported communication with their provider and explore differences in perceptions of racially diverse adherent versus nonadherent patients; and 2) examine whether the ... -
Prescriber continuity and medication availability in older adults with cardiometabolic conditions.
(SAGE Open Med, 2018)Background: Many older adults have multiple conditions and see multiple providers, which may impact their use of essential medications. Objective: We examined whether the number of prescribers of these medications was associated ... -

(SAGE open nursing, 2022-01)<h4>Introduction</h4>Various domains of psychosocial stress have been significantly related to blood pressure. However, ambiguity is present in how these relationships are defined in the literature.<h4>Objective</h4>To add ... -
Sex-specific Computational Models of Blood Pressure Regulation
(2020)Hypertension is a global health challenge: it affects one billion people worldwide and is estimated to account for >60% of all cases or types of cardiovascular disease. Due to our partial understanding of sex differences ... -
Targeting cytokine signaling in salt-sensitive hypertension.
(Am J Physiol Renal Physiol, 2016-12-01)Activated immune cell populations contribute to hypertension in part through inciting damage to the kidney and by provoking inappropriate sodium reabsorption in the nephron. Inflammatory mediators called cytokines produced ...
