Graham McGinnis, James Navalta Robert Salatto, Dustin Davis, and, Bryson Carrier (all Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences), along with Jacob Manning and Mark DeBeliso of Southern Utah University published a paper, "Effects of Acute Beta-Alanine Ingestion and Immersion-Plus-Exercise on Connectedness to Nature and Perceived Pain," in…
Dr. Jeff Cummings (Brain Health) published "Trial of Pimavanserin in Dementia-Related Psychosis" in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Christina Hall (Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences) gave a presentation entitled "Using Spanish Moss as a Bio-indicator for Air Pollution in the Low Country of Savannah River Basin "at the 66th Annual Conference of Health Physics Society in Phoenix. The study indicated the correlations between the concentration of heavy metals in Spanish…
Jeffrey Cummings (Brain Health) co-authored a paper published in Nature on developing the ATX(N) classification, a system for recognizing biomarkers in blood that indicate the presence in the brain of plaques and tangles characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. ATX(N) advances allow researchers to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease without…
Arpita Basu (Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences) co-authored a paper on the clinical utility of serum uric acid in predicting cardiovascular events in adults with type 1 diabetes in a 13-year follow-up study. The findings do not support uric acid as a biomarker for cardiovascular events refuting the findings of other trials of…
Gabriela Buccini (Environmental and Occupational Health) is a co-author of a newly published article, "Household food insecurity and early childhood development in Brazil: an analysis of children under 2 years of age," in the Public Health Nutrition journal. The study found that household food insecurity is strongly associated…
