- The study aimed to investigate how self-identified race affects sleep quality among heavy smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), focusing on participants from different racial backgrounds.* -
- The research involved analyzing data from 2,427 participants using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality, while adjusting for factors like demographics, health status, and socioeconomic variables.* -
- Results indicated that African American participants experienced worse sleep quality compared to non-Hispanic Whites, with factors like income, depression, and sex also influencing sleep quality outcomes.*
According to several studies, obesity increases rates of metabolic syndrome plus other comorbidities like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, little evidence exists as to whether obesity assists in the prolongation of COVID-19 and seasonal flu-like symptoms especially among African American 55-74-year age groups. The purpose of this study is to show that COVID-19 symptoms can prolong recovery times and symptoms of seasonal flu-infected obese African Americans.

Outer membrane proteins of the Gram-negative organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa play a significant role in membrane permeability, antibiotic resistance, nutrient uptake, and virulence in the infection site. In this study, we show that the P. aeruginosa outer membrane protein OprQ, a member of the OprD superfamily, is involved in the binding of human fibronectin (Fn).
