Catalysts for Community Health (C4CH)
(2020)Poster about the Catalysts for Community Health (C4CH) program. "Catalysts for Community Health (C4CH) is an interdisciplinary community health information curriculum that creates a network of practice throughout the ... -
Early pregnancy loss : pretreat with mifepristone?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)Early pregnancy loss : pretreat with mifepristone? Yes. While medical management of early pregnancy loss with misoprostol frequently results in treatment failure, pretreating with mifepristone can increase efficacy. PRACTICE ... -
Best timing for measuring orthostatic vital signs?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)Best timing for measuring orthostatic vital signs? We typically take a blood pressure within 3 minutes of a patient rising from a supine to a standing position. But is that too long? PRACTICE CHANGER: Measure orthostatic ... -
Can sleep apnea be accurately diagnosed at home?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)Can sleep apnea be accurately diagnosed at home? A recent study says Yes, and that it offers advantages: it can be scheduled faster, is less expensive, and is more acceptable to many patients than lab testing. PRACTICE ... -
Can drinking more water prevent urinary tract infections?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2020)Can drinking more water prevent urinary tract infections? A high-quality randomized controlled trial says 'Yes'. PRACTICE CHANGER: Advise premenopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and low-volume ... -
Aspirin, yes, for at-risk elderly -- but what about the healthy elderly?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2020)Aspirin, yes, for at-risk elderly -- but what about the healthy elderly? This study paints a decidedly different picture asa to what role -- if any -- aspirin can play in the primary prevention of CVD for older adults. ... -
Supplemental oxygen : more isn't always better
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)Supplemental oxygen: more isn't always better. A recent study says that in certain populations supplemental oxygen above certain levels can increase mortality. PRACTICE CHANGER Do not use liberal oxygen therapy (SpO2> 96%) ... -
Influence of repeated application of wetting agents on soil water repellency and microbial community
(MDPI AG, 2019)Wetting agents are the primary tool used to control soil water repellency (SWR) and localized dry spot (LDS), especially on sand-based soils. However, the effect of repeated applications of wetting agents on soil microbial ... -
Complete genome sequence of desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1, a sulfonate-respiring anaerobe
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019)We report the complete genome sequence of the anaerobic, sulfonaterespiring, sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1. The genome was assembled into a single 3.25-Mb circular chromosome with 2,680 ... -
Agroforestry and biodiversity
(MDPI AG, 2019)Declining biodiversity (BD) is affecting food security, agricultural sustainability, and environmental quality. Agroforestry (AF) is recognized as a possible partial solution for BD conservation and improvement. This ... -
Partnering with the health professions to promote prevention of an alcohol-exposed pregnancy: Lessons learned from an Academic–organizational collaborative
(MDPI AG, 2019)Background: Evidence-based strategies exist to train healthcare professionals to ask their patients and clients about alcohol use, and are successful. Implementation of these strategies utilizing a system-level approach ... -
QTL-mapping and genomic prediction for bovine respiratory disease in U.S. Holsteins using sequence imputation and feature selection
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)Background: National genetic evaluations for disease resistance do not exist, precluding the genetic improvement of cattle for these traits. We imputed BovineHD genotypes to whole genome sequence for 2703 Holsteins that ... -
Demonstration of highly efficient dual gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the homeologous GmFAD2-1A and GmFAD2-1B genes to yield a high oleic, low linoleic and ?-linolenic acid phenotype in soybean
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)Background: CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is now revolutionizing the ability to effectively modify plant genomes in the absence of efficient homologous recombination mechanisms that exist in other organisms. However, soybean ... -
Patient judgments about hypertension control: The role of variability, trends, and outliers in visualized blood pressure data
(Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2019)Background: Uncontrolled hypertension is a significant health problem in the United States, even though multiple drugs exist to effectively treat this chronic disease. Objective: As part of a larger project developing data ... -
Studying gap junctions with PARIS: A new genetically encoded system manipulates the ph inside cells to detect whether they are coupled to each other

Tracing the lineage of two traits associated with the coat protein of the tombusviridae: Silencing suppression and HR elicitation in nicotiana species
(MDPI AG, 2019)In this paper we have characterized the lineage of two traits associated with the coat proteins (CPs) of the tombusvirids: Silencing suppression and HR elicitation in Nicotiana species. We considered that the tombusvirid ... -
Mechanical dilation, botulinum toxin A injection, and surgical myotomy with fundoplication for treatment of lower esophageal sphincter achalasia-like syndrome in dogs
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)Background: Megaesophagus (ME) carries a poor long-term prognosis in dogs. In people, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) achalasia is a rare cause of ME that may respond to targeted intervention. Dogs with lower esophageal ... -
Improvement of in vitro and early in utero porcine clone development after somatic donor cells are cultured under hypoxia
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019)Genetically engineered pigs serve as excellent biomedical and agricultural models. To date, the most reliable way to generate genetically engineered pigs is via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), however, the efficiency ... -
Shift from primary pneumonic to secondary septicemic plague by decreasing the volume of intranasal challenge with Yersinia pestis in the murine model
(Public Library of Science, 2019)Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of pneumonic plague, a disease involving uncontrolled bacterial growth and host immunopathology. Secondary septicemic plague commonly occurs as a consequence of the host inflammatory ...
