The Effects of Resistance Training and Protein Supplementation on Body Composition, Muscular Strength, and Physical Function in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Patients
BACKGROUND: Approximately 5-6% of older individuals ≥75 years of age will develop aortic stenosis and require aortic valve replacement via transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Due to most patients not surviving ≥5 years post...
The purpose of this study is to answer the call for studies on the well-being of parents with adolescents and to gain further understanding of its influential mechanisms in family systems. Guided by family systems theory (Minuchin, 1974)...
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in United States (US) [1], and the inevitable process of aging, or one's age, remains the primary unmodifiable risk factor and independent predictor of CVD...
Purpose: Adequate skeletal perfusion is necessary to maintain bone remodeling processes and bone health. Natural aging leads to progressive bone loss, which may be associated with impaired bone vasomotor function and impaired perfusion....
The aim of this study was to explore the effect of antioxidant-like drugs, Resveratrol and MitoQ, on erectile function and gene expression in a castration model of erectile dysfunction (ED) and to see if these changes were mediated via...
The iron regulatory hormone hepcidin mediates the hypoferremia of inflammation by binding to, occluding, and signaling for the degradation of ferroportin, the only known cellular iron exporter. A regulator for the hypozincemia observed...
Pulses play a significant health role in the human population, specifically some pulses contribute to low postprandial glycemic response. Although the commercial utilization of pulse protein is rapidly growing due to the demand for...
Introduction: As the major allergen in finfish, parvalbumin is responsible for more than 90% of fish allergy. To reduce the occurrence of finfish allergy, on the one hand, food allergen characterization could assist in protein...
Background: Undernutrition and anemia are comorbid conditions. The anemia associated with undernutrition is often attributed to increased rates of infection; however, iron deficiency is also common in areas where undernutrition is...
The projected increase in the population of older adults (ages 65 and older) brings with it concerns about unavoidable loss through age-related chronic illnesses like dementia, cancer, or arthritis (Jaul & Barron, 2017). Successful aging...
In response to the rising public interest in understanding intercultural couples' relational experiences, particularly how couples respond to their differences in culture, I propose a new construct—relational cultural intelligence (RCI)...
Over the past few decades, media and technology use have become increasingly significant components of everyday life. Given media's ubiquitous usage across the lifespan, it is important to understand what puts individuals at risk for...
Technology has become commonplace in day-to-day activities, permeating our interactions, relationships, and intimacy. While it allows connectedness to those that are physically far, it also consumes our attention distracting us from...
Difficulties with anger and aggression have been linked to serious youth outcomes with long-term effects including psychopathology and incarceration. In the United States, although the cost to incarcerate a youth varies by state, the...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death, with age being the strongest predictor of cardiovascular health. Age-related changes to the vasculature such as endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffening are believed to...
Aging is associated with decreased synthesis and increased degradation of muscle, bone, and connective tissue, leading to decrements in body wide structure and function. This depression in tissue turnover can lead to sarcopenia in...
While protein has been extensively studied in older adults, not as much is known about the relationship of amino acids and functional health outcomes in this population. This cross-sectional study characterized usual intakes of total and...
Background: Iron-containing micronutrient powders may increase the risk and severity of enteric infections. Unabsorbed iron in the lower intestine may increase severity of infection by promoting the growth of gram-negative enteric...
The practical goal of the study was to determine if coparenting is a viable target for interventions to promote well-being among parents of children with ASD and, if so, to isolate the crucial elements of coparenting. To achieve this...
Introduction: The popularity of endurance events has grown recently with an increased number of participants who have an elevated body fat percentage. The influence of chronic endurance training on adipose tissue physiology in these...
Hypogonadism contributes to limb skeletal muscle atrophy by increasing rates of muscle protein breakdown. Androgen depletion increases markers of the autophagy-mediated protein breakdown pathway that persist throughout the diurnal cycle....
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with co-occurring internalizing problems or externalizing behaviors and parents mental and physical health. Furthermore, ...
As the No.1 food plant protein in North America, soybean proteins have been comprehensively used as the major food ingredient in the human diet and animal feeding. Bioactive soybean lectin, also known as soybean agglutinin (SBA), is...
Introduction: Finfish is one of the Big Eight allergenic foods in the United States (U.S.). Economic-driven finfish substitution or adulteration and unintentional cross-contamination not only violate food regulations (e.g., labeling) but...
Parenting intervention programs are an increasingly common requirement of case plans for parents involved in the child welfare system as they reduce the risk of future child maltreatment. However, there are challenges with retention and...
