A Scoping Review of the Relationship Between Psychological (In)flexibility and Living with and Managing Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is highly prevalent and carries a significant self-management burden and elevated risk of biopsychosocial sequelae. Psychological flexibility (PF) has been shown to benefit living with and managing chronic health conditions. The present scoping review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the relationship between PF and factors central to living with and managing DM.

Trends From 2010 to 2019 in Opioid and Nonopioid Pain Management After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Introduction: As the opioid epidemic enters its third decade, we reflect on how it has affected clinical practice within the orthopaedic community. Recent studies show prolonged opioid use after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with worse overall health outcomes. This study aims to elucidate trends in pain management after TKA over the past decade.

Declining life expectancy in the Great Lakes region: contributors to Black and white longevity change across educational attainment.

Background: The East North Central Census division (aka the Great Lakes region) experienced a decrease in life expectancy of 0.3 years from 2014 to 2016 - one of the largest declines across the nine Census divisions. Disadvantaged groups that typically have below-average life expectancy, including Black individuals and those without a college education, may have been disproportionately affected by this longevity shift.

Using meditation in a control vs. acceptance context: A preliminary evaluation of relations with anxiety, depression, and indices of well-being.

Background And Objectives: Meditation practices have been marketed broadly to ameliorate human suffering. As such, individuals may seek out and use meditation to control or manage unpleasant thoughts and emotions. Emotion and thought control research suggest that meditation used in this way may potentiate unpleasant private experiences and contribute to negative outcomes.

Habitual sleep, sleep duration differential, and weight change among adults: Findings from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study.

Objectives: Assess longitudinal associations between diary-measured sleep duration and clinically assessed body mass index (BMI).

Design: Multilevel growth curve analyses examined how within-person changes and between-person differences in habitual sleep duration were associated with BMI trajectories.

Setting: Sleep diaries across 2-6 consecutive weekday and weekend nights at each data collection point, repeatedly collected at approximate 4-year intervals, for an average of 9.

Contributors to reduced life expectancy among Native Americans in the Four Corners States.

To assess trends in life expectancy and the contribution of specific causes of death to Native American-White longevity gaps in the Four Corners states, we used death records from the National Center for Health Statistics and population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau from 1999-2017 to generate period life tables and decompose racial gaps in life expectancy.

Contributors to the black-white life expectancy gap in Washington D.C.

Although the black-white gap in life expectancy has been shrinking in the U.S., national improvement conceals ongoing disparities.

TRPV4 receptor as a functional sensory molecule in bladder urothelium: Stretch-independent, tissue-specific actions and pathological implications.

The newly recognized sensory role of bladder urothelium has generated intense interest in identifying its novel sensory molecules. Sensory receptor TRPV4 may serve such function. However, specific and physiologically relevant tissue actions of TRPV4, stretch-independent responses, and underlying mechanisms are unknown and its role in human conditions has not been examined.

Contributors to Wisconsin's persistent black-white gap in life expectancy.

Background: Although the black-white gap in life expectancy has narrowed in the U.S., there is considerable variability across states.

Purinergic and muscarinic modulation of ATP release from the urothelium and its paracrine actions.

The urothelium is a newly recognized sensory structure that detects bladder fullness. Pivotal to this sensory role is the release of ATP from the urothelium. However, the routes for urothelial ATP release, its modulation by receptor-mediated pathways, and the autocrine/paracrine role of ATP are poorly understood, especially in native tissue.
