Barriers to Immunosuppressant Medication Adherence in Thoracic Transplant Recipients: Initial Findings.

Although transplantation remains the gold-standard treatment for patients with end-organ failure, lifelong adherence to immunosuppressant medication is required to prevent rejection, graft failure, and mortality. Given the increase in thoracic organ transplantation, it is crucial to better understand the associated barriers to treatment. Examining sociodemographic, transplant, healthcare access, post-transplant treatment, and patient-related psychosocial factors may help to elucidate treatment barriers that have not been previously considered in the existing literature.

Diet Quality and Resilience through Adulthood: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the WELL for Life Study.

Despite evidence suggesting the importance of psychological resilience for successful aging, little is known about the relationship between diet quality and resilience at different ages.

Using Stanfords' WELL for Life (WELL) survey data, we conducted a cross-sectional study of diet quality, resilience, sociodemographic, perceived stress, lifestyle, and mental health factors among 6171 Bay Area adults.
