Telehealth diabetes services for non-English speaking patients.

Background: Several studies have shown the use of telehealth in diabetes management to be as efficacious as traditional clinic visits; however, these studies focused on English-speaking populations.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate whether telehealth is an effective approach for participation in pharmacist collaborative diabetes management services among non-English-speaking or limited English proficiency (LEP) patients at a federally qualified health center (FQHC).

Metabolic Costs of a 58-minute Multi-Intensity Exercise Session with and Without Music and Cueing.

It is unclear if the presence or absence of music and cueing influence total energy expenditure (TEE) during a multi-intensity exercise program. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference between TEE with or without music and cueing during a 58-minute exercise session using heart rate estimation (HRe) and indirect calorimetry (IC). Using a randomized crossover design, 22 participants (6 males; 16 females; 27.
