Acceptability of a Text Message-Based Mobile Health Intervention to Promote Physical Activity in Cardiac Rehabilitation Enrollees: A Qualitative Substudy of Participant Perspectives.

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have the potential to deliver longitudinal support to users outside of episodic clinical encounters. We performed a qualitative substudy to assess the acceptability of a text message-based mHealth intervention designed to increase and sustain physical activity in cardiac rehabilitation enrollees.

Methods And Results: Semistructured interviews were conducted with intervention arm participants of a randomized controlled trial delivered to low- and moderate-risk cardiac rehabilitation enrollees.

Lipidome modulation by dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation or selective soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibition suppresses rough LPS-accelerated glomerulonephritis in lupus-prone mice.

Introduction: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-accelerated autoimmune glomerulonephritis (GN) in NZBWF1 mice is a preclinical model potentially applicable for investigating lipidome-modulating interventions against lupus. LPS can be expressed as one of two chemotypes: smooth LPS (S-LPS) or rough LPS (R-LPS) which is devoid of O-antigen polysaccharide sidechain. Since these chemotypes differentially affect toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated immune cell responses, these differences may influence GN induction.
