Percy, Maire E.; Lukiw, Walter J. – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objectives: Certain heart conditions and diseases are common in Down syndrome (DS; trisomy 21), but their role in early onset dementia that is prevalent in older adults with DS has not been evaluated. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a study of risk factors for low neurocognitive/behavioral scores obtained with a published dementia test…

Klabunde, Richard E. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2017
Basic cardiac electrophysiology is foundational to understanding normal cardiac function in terms of rate and rhythm and initiation of cardiac muscle contraction. The primary clinical tool for assessing cardiac electrical events is the electrocardiogram (ECG), which provides global and regional information on rate, rhythm, and electrical…

Derganc, Jure; Gomišcek, Gregor – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Electrocardiography (ECG) is one of the most widely used methods in clinical diagnosis. Here we describe an experimental approach that offers hands-on learning of its basic principles. An experimental model that consists of a rubber foil with a low electrical conductivity and a DC power unit is used to simulate the body and the electric dipole of…

Warren, Jami L.; Clancy, Karen; Brady, Christy F.; Rump, Kendall; New-Oglesby, Tayla – Journal of Communication Pedagogy, 2021
Patients that suffer from invisible chronic illness (ICI) such as autoimmune conditions, neurological conditions, and gastrointestinal problems often struggle to obtain a proper medical diagnosis due to a lack of objective indicators to help health-care providers diagnose patients with ICIs. Thus, researchers conducted interviews with 21…

DeHondt, Benjamin G.; Madi, Samar A.; Drignei, Dorin; Buchan, Duncan S.; Brown, Elise C. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
Identification of cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in U.S. younger population by assessing muscular strength via handgrip (HG) dynamometry may aid in prevention efforts. Currently, no nationally representative HG cut-points are available for identifying increased CMR in U.S. adolescents or young adults. In this study, we propose normalized grip strength…

Serpas, Dylan G.; García, James J.; Arellano-Morales, Leticia – Journal of American College Health, 2022
Objective: Racial/ethnic minorities experience disproportionately greater risk to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study examined racial/ethnic discrimination--as a psychosocial stressor--in a path model and its associations with CVD health risk factors among undergraduate students of color (SoC). Participants: The sample included 404 SoC…

Anna Fuchs; Erika Lunkenheimer; Frances M. Lobo – Grantee Submission, 2021
Parent-child synchrony of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) varies by risk, but novel approaches are needed to capture individual contributions to synchrony. Multilevel state-trait modeling was applied to examine how parental psychological distress and parent and child average RSA during challenge (reflecting individual regulatory capacities)…

Hussain, Rafat; Wark, Stuart; Janicki, Matthew P.; Parmenter, Trevor; Knox, Marie – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Background: There is paucity of research from Australia about comorbidity in older people with intellectual disability (PwID). This paper examines the burden of chronic diseases and associated sociodemographic correlates in a cohort of PwID aged 60+. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was used with community-dwelling older PwID in urban/rural…

Jessica Hutchinson – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect globally, affecting both children and their families. Twenty-five percent of children experiencing a CHD birth defect are diagnosed with complex CHD (cCHD), signifying critical heart dysfunction requiring one or more open-heart surgeries during the first year of life. With medical advances,…

The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a novel cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training method embedded in a cardiac rehabilitation program at enhancing patients' CPR and defibrillation skills. One hundred and fourteen participants with coronary heart disease enrolled on an exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program were…

Towards a Better Understanding of Physical Activity Behavior in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease
MacCosham, Bradley; Gravelle, Francois; Morin, Joanne – American Journal of Health Education, 2019
Background: Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect in the world. Medical advancements in pediatric cardiac surgery have led to an increased number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). PA was discouraged for ACHD patients in the past however, today it is strongly encouraged for this population to remain active.…

Horn, Margaux A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The current student body will, by and large, seek online resources to supplement their learning. However, resources that are freely available online vary in accuracy and quality, and the vast majority rely on passive learning. Therefore, there is a need for interactive physiology teaching resources that facilitate application of knowledge, that…
