Caring for Alaska Native prostate cancer survivors in primary care: a survey of Alaska Tribal Health System providers.
(Int J Circumpolar Health, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the constraints of optimizing health care for prostate
cancer survivors in Alaska primary care. OBJECTIVE: To describe the experiences and
attitudes of primary care providers within the ...
Physical Activity, Central Adiposity, and Functional Limitations in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
(J Geriatr Phys Ther, 2016-04)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Obesity and physical inactivity are independently associated
with physical and functional limitations in older adults. The current study examines
the impact of physical activity on odds of physical ...
Age mediation of frontoparietal activation during visual feature search.
(Neuroimage, 2014-11-15)
Activation of frontal and parietal brain regions is associated with attentional control
during visual search. We used fMRI to characterize age-related differences in frontoparietal
activation in a highly efficient feature ...
Heart rate variability is associated with survival in patients with brain metastasis: a preliminary report.
(Biomed Res Int, 2013)
Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) has been demonstrated as a negative survival
prognosticator in various diseases. We conducted this prospective study to evaluate
how HRV affects brain metastasis (BM) patients. Fifty-one ...
Use of 16S ribosomal RNA gene analyses to characterize the bacterial signature associated with poor oral health in West Virginia.
(BMC Oral Health, 2011-03-01)
BACKGROUND: West Virginia has the worst oral health in the United States, but the
reasons for this are unclear. This pilot study explored the etiology of this disparity
using culture-independent analyses to identify bacterial ...
Management of prostate cancer in older men: recommendations of a working group of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology.
(BJU Int, 2010-08)
Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in men and predominantly affects older
men (aged >or=70 years). The median age at diagnosis is 68 years; overall, two-thirds
of prostate cancer-related deaths occur in men aged ...
The architecture of cross-hemispheric communication in the aging brain: linking behavior to functional and structural connectivity.
(Cereb Cortex, 2012-01)
Contralateral recruitment remains a controversial phenomenon in both the clinical
and normative populations. To investigate the neural correlates of this phenomenon,
we explored the tendency for older adults to recruit prefrontal ...
Adult age differences in functional connectivity during executive control.
(Neuroimage, 2010-08-15)
Task switching requires executive control processes that undergo age-related decline.
Previous neuroimaging studies have identified age-related differences in brain activation
associated with global switching effects (dual-task ...
Importance of prostate volume in the European Randomised Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) risk calculators: results from the prostate biopsy collaborative group.
(World J Urol, 2012-04)
OBJECTIVES: To compare the predictive performance and potential clinical usefulness
of risk calculators of the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer
(ERSPC RC) with and without information on prostate ...
Practice-Level Variation in Outpatient Cardiac Care and Association With Outcomes.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2016-02-23)
BACKGROUND: Utilization of cardiac services varies across regions and hospitals, yet
little is known regarding variation in the intensity of outpatient cardiac care across
cardiology physician practices or the association ...
