  More info

  The effect of group medical visits (GMV) compared to individual medical visits (IMV), on weight and blood pressure in a large primary care practice serving a predominantly underserved population, was assessed. The records of 304 patients attending a weight-loss program were analyzed using mixed-effects regression models. Patients in GMV lost an average of 11.63 lbs, whereas patients in IMV lost an average of 3.99 lbs ( < 0.001). A total of 55% of patients lost ≥7% in GMV compared to 11% of patients in IMV ( ≤ 0.001). Individuals who lost >5% of their baseline weight had a higher reduction in overall blood pressure. For systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the differences between baseline and three months for GMV and IMV were -7.4 vs. 4.1 mm of Hg ( = 0.002) and -4.6 vs. 4.2 mm of Hg ( = 0.003), respectively. Results from this study demonstrate that GMV may be a potentially useful modality for addressing weight and blood pressure in an underserved population.

  Although research indicates that the prevalence of psychiatric disability differs depending on gender, a paucity of information exists as to whether men and women with psychiatric disability also differ regarding service program outcomes. For a United States Southwest peer support specialist training program, this study examines whether gender moderates the association between psychiatric disability and a key outcome-training dropout. Data were collected for 78 men and 157 women with psychiatric disability and 137 men and 203 women with mental illness only. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between psychiatric disability and dropout, with gender as a moderator variable, and age, education, race/ethnicity, and substance use disorder as control variables. Of trainees with psychiatric disability, dropout was greater among men than women (34.6% and 20.4%, respectively; < .05). Dropout was also greater among men with psychiatric disability than among men with mental illness only (34.6% and 15.3%; < .01). In contrast, dropout was similar for women with psychiatric disability and mental illness only (20.4% and 18.7%; > .05), and dropout was comparable among men and women with mental illness only (15.3% and 18.7%; > .05). In summary, risk of dropout was substantially higher among men with psychiatric disability than women with psychiatric disability. Gender tailoring of the program's services should be considered to better support training completion. This study's findings also raise questions as to possible underrepresentation of men with psychiatric disability in the peer support workforce training pipeline.

  Efficacious lifestyle modification programs for children at risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) have not been well established outside of clinical settings. In this study, the feasibility of a family-focused, YMCA-based prevention program for children at risk of T2D was evaluated between September 2015 and July 2016 in Tucson, Arizona. A 12-week YMCA-led lifestyle intervention was adapted for 9-12-year-old children and their families to encourage healthy eating, physical activity, and supportive home environments. Two YMCA locations were randomized to offer either a face-to-face lifestyle coach-led intervention or an alternating face-to-face and digitally-delivered intervention. Program feasibility and preliminary effects on child anthropometric and behavioral outcomes were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Changes were assessed using linear regression combining delivery formats, with adjustment for clustering of participants within site/format. Forty-eight children (10.9 ± 1.2 years old; 45% female; 40% Hispanic; 43% White; 87% obese) and their parents enrolled, and 36 (75%) completed 12-week measures. Weekly program attendance averaged 61%. Participants and coaches highly rated program content and engagement strategies. Statistically significant changes in child BMI-z score (-0.05,   0.03) and family food and physical activity environment (+5.5% family nutrition and physical activity score,  = 0.01) were observed. A YMCA-led family-focused T2D intervention was feasible for the YMCA and participants and effects on child weight, behavior, and the home environment warranted further investigation.

  It is well established that behavioral lifestyle interventions resulting in modest weight reduction in adults can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes mellitus; however in children, successful weight management interventions are rarely found outside of controlled clinical settings. The lack of effective community-based programs is a barrier to reducing obesity prevalence and diabetes risk in children. The objective of our study is to develop and test a group-randomized family-centered community-based type 2 diabetes prevention intervention targeting at-risk children, 9- to 12-years-old.

  Increased cultural competence is a tool in the fight to eliminate health disparities in people with diabetes. However, questions remain regarding the best cultural competence teaching, evaluation, and dissemination methods. An Internet-based approach requires less facilitator time and provides greater ease of dissemination. We developed and tested a skills-focused, Internet-based course on cultural competence in the context of type 2 diabetes.

  More info

  Domestic violence (DV) is a common, under-recognized source of visits to health care professionals. Even when recognized, physicians are reluctant to deal with DV, citing a lack of education and lack of confidence in addressing issues presented by DV patients. Only a small number of DV education programs have been shown to lead to improvements in professional knowledge and confidence, and these are intensive, multi-day courses. We sought to develop an on-line DV education program that could achieve improvements in physician confidence and attitudes in managing DV patients comparable to classroom-based courses.

  More info

  The grouping of the primary care specialties (general internal medicine, general pediatrics, and family medicine) for research purposes is at best limiting the value of the information that is found and, at worst, leading researchers to erroneous conclusions. For example, three large studies each showed differences in abilities to predict students' specialty choices in primary care (e.g., in one study, the investigators correctly predicted 3% of those choosing general internal medicine, 29% considering general pediatrics, and 51% considering family medicine). These and related findings suggest that medical students entering the three primary care specialties are not a homogeneous group. While there were some factors predictive for all primary care specialties, there were more factors that were unique to the individual specialties Grouping the specialties may not reveal factors that are significantly related to only one of the specialties. In addition, when a variable operates in different ways for different specialties, findings where the specialties are combined can show a reduced effect of that variable or even no effect, because the directions of effects cancel each other. Researchers can fruitfully examine the primary care specialties as a group but at the same time report their data for the individual specialties, which would greatly increase our knowledge both of primary care and also about the similarities and dissimilarities of its component specialties. However, the best models continue to be either research in which the sample size is large enough to compare specialty groups statistically or research with a focus on just one of the primary care specialties.

Antiparasitic treatment of patients with P. falciparum malaria reduces the ability of patient serum to induce tissue factor by decreasing NF-kappa B activation. Thrombosis and haemostasis, 73(1), 39-48.
  More info

  Serum from patients with P. falciparum malaria at day 1 (pretherapy) induces tissue factor (TF) in cultured endothelial cells. TF induction depends on de novo transcription as shown in Nuclear Run On assays. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated binding of AP-1 and NF-kappa B/Rel proteins to their recognition sites in the TF promotor. After therapy (day 28), stimulation of TF antigen by patient serum is reduced by 70%. When serum obtained before and after therapy was compared, a decrease of NF-kappa B activation was evident. Activation of NF-kappa B-like proteins was in part dependent on TNF alpha in patient serum, since a TNF alpha neutralizing antibody reduced induction of TF transcription and translation and induction of NF-kappa B-like proteins. Induction of TF activity was suppressed by pDTC, an inhibitor of NF-kappa B activation. When different promotor constructs of the TF gene were tested, induction was dependent upon the presence of the intact NF-kappa B-like binding site in the TF promotor. A mutant with deleted NF-kappa B, but intact AP-1 sites was not inducible. Mutation of the AP-1 sites did not prevent induction, but reduced inducibility by pretherapy serum. Therefore, NF-kappa B/Rel proteins are responsible for induction of TF transcription by pretherapy serum, but AP-1 is needed for highest inducibility. The effect of antiparasitic therapy on the induction of TF by serum from patients with complicated P. falciparum malaria is dependent on a therapy-mediated loss of activation of NF-kappa B-like proteins in post-treatment patient serum.
