Internalization of help-seeking stigma and the moderating role of familism among Latine adults with chronic pain.

Latine adults with chronic pain face heightened stigmatization of seeking professional psychological help. However, research is needed to test whether stigma is internalized and to identify protective factors. We focus on familism, a value commonly found in collectivist cultures that emphasizes family bonds.

Muscle-specific neuromuscular responses during running with blood flow restriction.

The purpose of this investigation was to examine muscle excitation at maximal running capacity without blood flow restriction (BFR) relative to submaximal running bouts with BFR. Fourteen college-aged males randomly completed four, three-minute running bouts at 70, 80, and 90% of peak speed with BFR (70%, 80%, and 90%) and without BFR at 100% of their peak speed (100%). The surface electromyographic amplitudes of the vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, and vastus medialis muscles were assessed.

Epidemiological Study on Humans, Animals and Snails for Schistosomiasis in Two Endemic Municipalities Nearing Elimination in Bohol, the Philippines.

Purpose: A comprehensive survey was conducted to assess the prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infection in humans, water buffaloes, and snails in the two endemic municipalities of Talibon and Trinidad in Bohol, Philippines, which are nearing elimination.

Methods And Results: Human stool and blood samples were collected from barangays with snail breeding sites, and results showed higher positivity rates using the rSjTPx-1-ELISA compared to the Kato-Katz technique. Human stool examination for showed a 0.

Therapeutic Efficacy of the Inositol D-Pinitol as a Multi-Faceted Disease Modifier in the 5×FAD Humanized Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Amyloidosis.

Background/objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a leading cause of dementia, lacks effective long-term treatments. Current therapies offer temporary relief or fail to halt its progression and are often inaccessible due to cost. AD involves multiple pathological processes, including amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition, insulin resistance, tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and systemic inflammation accelerated by gut microbiota dysbiosis originating from a leaky gut.
