The purpose of the present study was to develop a short form of the Financial Exploitation Vulnerability Scale (FEVS) with good psychometric properties to detect contextual risk exploitation.

The sample included community volunteers who were 60years and older, as well as elders who were referred to the SAFE program after being the victim…[Read more]

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the type of cancer with the third highest incidence and is associated with high mortality and low 5-year survival rates. We observed that copanlisib, an inhibitor of PI3K (pan-class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase) that preferentially inhibits PI3Kδ and PI3Kα, impedes the growth of CRC cells by inducing apoptosis via PUMA. T…[Read more]

There was an 82-88% decrease in the median difference of the ASD and TD group for the panel metabolites, and among the top fifty most discriminating individual metabolites, 96% report more comparable values following treatment. Thus, these findings are similar, although less pronounced, as those determined using plasma metabolites.

To characterize oral health practices using data from statewide, multi-stakeholder surveys.

We analyzed data from two Rhode Island surveys. Together, the surveys targeted all nursing homes, residents, and resident representatives in Rhode Island, and asked about staff training on mouth care, frequency of dental provider visits, enrollment…[Read more]

PURPOSE Nephrogenic system fibrosis (NSF) is a rare complication detected in patients with renal insufficiency exposed to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of NSF in a cohort of patients on renal replacement treatment who underwent GBCA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHOD We…[Read more]

The absorbtion of human-emitted CO2 by the oceans (elevated PCO2 ) is projected to alter the physiological performance of coral reef organisms by perturbing seawater chemistry (i.e. ocean acidification). Simultaneously, greenhouse gas emissions are driving ocean warming and changes in irradiance (through turbidity and cloud cover), which have the…[Read more]
