'It's Not Like a One-Way Street': Using Photovoice to Understand How College Students With Intellectual Disability Experience Interdependence.

Background: Many people view people with intellectual disability primarily as needing help. That perspective limits relationships and can promote discrimination. We sought to better understand social relationships among young adults with intellectual disability.

Time in childhood extracurricular activity and mental health of young adults with developmental disability.

Background: People with developmental disability have higher rates of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, psychological distress, or a limited sense of belonging to a community. Extracurricular activity can help children and adolescents build social connections beyond family, increasing social capital, which may promote mental health in the transition into adulthood. Little is known about such associations among people with developmental disability.

"Eventually I'm gonna need people": Social capital among college students with developmental disability.

Background And Aims: About 18% of college students have disabilities. Social capital, resources we can tap from relationships, may be particularly valuable for students with disabilities. Yet, disabilities often limit the individual's ability to develop or use social capital.

Identifying developmental disability in national surveys: Addressing the knowledge gap with special education histories.

Background: In the United States nearly 20% of children ages 12-17 have developmental disorders. Some attain population-based developmental milestones after a delay, or increase functioning through special education, medication, technology, or therapy. Others have severe lasting impairments.

Disability in Childhood, Special Education Histories, and Lifetime Health Outcomes in the United States.

We evaluated special education as an indicator of childhood disability and used that indicator to estimate lifetime dependency and life expectancy. Data: Panel Study of Income Dynamics and Health and Retirement Study ( = 20,563). Dependency: Nursing home care or equivalent.

Mental health risks of parents of children with developmental disabilities: A nationally representative study in the United States.

Background: Caring for a child with a developmental disability may affect parents' mental health. There are few longitudinal or nationally representative studies, none on new mental health problems. Studies have few young children, and few adult children.

Work-related asthma in the USA: nationally representative estimates with extended follow-up.

Objective: We studied the associations of working in occupations with high asthma trigger exposures with the prevalence and incidence of asthma, and with ever reporting an asthma diagnosis throughout working life.

Methods: We used the nationally representative Panel Study of Income Dynamics (1968-2015; n=13 957; 205 498 person-years), with annual reports of occupation and asthma diagnoses across 48 years. We compared asthma outcomes in occupations likely to have asthma trigger exposures with those in occupations with limited trigger exposures.

Severe developmental disability and the transition to adulthood.

Background: Developmental disabilities are serious and long-lasting. There are few studies of developmental disability in the transition to adulthood, when the programs that provided support in childhood may no longer be available.

Objective: We studied associations of long-lasting developmental disabilities with health, behaviors, and well-being in adulthood.

In vivo characterization of several rodent glioma models by 1H MRS.

The assessment of metabolites by (1)H MRS can provide information regarding glioma growth, and may be able to distinguish between different glioma models. Rat C6, 9 L/LacZ, F98 and RG2, and mouse GL261, cells were intracerebrally implanted into the respective rodents, and human U87 MG cells were implanted into athymic rats. Ethyl-nitrosourea induction was also used.

Glioma morphology and tumor-induced vascular alterations revealed in seven rodent glioma models by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and angiography.

Purpose: To evaluate the added value of non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) to conventional MR imaging for a detailed characterization of different rodent glioma models.

Materials And Methods: Intracerebral tumor cell implantation and chemical induction methods were implemented to obtain rat C6, 9L/LacZ, F98, RG2, and ethyl-nitrosourea (ENU) -induced glioma models, a human U87 MG tumor model as well as a mouse GL261 glioma model. MR assessments were regularly conducted on a 7 Tesla Bruker BioSpin system.

Molecular MRI assessment of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 in rat C6 gliomas.

Angiogenesis is essential to tumour progression and a precise evaluation of angiogenesis is important for tumour early diagnosis and treatment. The quantitative and dynamic in vivo assessment of tumour angiogenesis can be achieved by molecular magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptors (VEGFRs) are the main regulatory systems in angiogenesis and have been used as hot targets for radionuclide-based molecular imaging.

Multiparametric assessment of the anti-glioma properties of OKN007 by magnetic resonance imaging.

Purpose: To demonstrate that OKN007, a disulfonyl derivative of phenyl-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN), has anti-glioma activity in the clinically relevant C6 rat glioma model using multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one rats were intracerebrally implanted with C6 cells and administered OKN007 or kept as controls. Animals were monitored with MRI at 7 Tesla (T), using morphologic, diffusion-weighted and perfusion imaging, followed by histology and Western blots of angiogenesis and inflammatory markers.
