Telephone-based support for physical activity: Results and lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Physical activity is essential to maintain physical and mental well-being. During the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person physical activity opportunities were limited. This paper describes a telephone-based physical activity support strategy among racially/ethnically diverse patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Metabolic Phenotypes and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross-Sectional Assessment of Patients from a Large Federally Qualified Health Center.

The purpose of this study is to determine if renal function varies by metabolic phenotype. A total of 9599 patients from a large Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) were included in the analysis. Metabolic health was classified as the absence of metabolic abnormalities defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, excluding waist circumference.

Meaningful use's benefits and burdens for US family physicians.

Objective: The federal meaningful use (MU) program was aimed at improving adoption and use of electronic health records, but practicing physicians have criticized it. This study was aimed at quantifying the benefits (ie, usefulness) and burdens (ie, workload) of the MU program for practicing family physicians.

Materials And Methods: An interdisciplinary national panel of experts (physicians and engineers) identified the work associated with MU criteria during patient encounters.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of pyrido[3,2-b]pyrazin-3(4H)-ones and pteridin-7(8H)-ones as corticotropin-releasing factor-1 receptor antagonists.

Pyrido[3,2-b]pyrazin-3(4H)-ones and pteridin-7(8H)-ones were evaluated as corticotropin-releasing factor-1 receptor antagonists. The synthesis, SAR studies and pharmacokinetic evaluation of these analogs are described herein.
