As the VLF and LF are mainly driven by sympathetic activity, RMSSD, NN9, pNN9, and HF are driven by the parasympathetic, SDNN reflects the overall HRV, these results suggested that all of these products decreased the overall HRV, especially the sympathetic modulations. To determine if different smoking/vaping products may induce cardiac fibrosis, heart sections were […]

Research has identified alcohol use as a common element in individuals with a brain injury
The original dataset, with 7875 cases, was used for the missing value replacement method, because as mentioned previously, it is preferrable to include as many predictive variables as possible in the model so that the new replaced/imputed values are indeed best estimates. Once the dataset had the missing variables for age and alcohol screen result […]
The literature review identified no consensus on relevant confounding variables aside from age and gender
The review showed a great variation existed across the studies in types of data collected and methods used, thus severely minimizing comparability. For example, the disparity in measurement of blood alcohol levels considerably reduce the reliability of data related to preinjury intoxication. In the reviewed studies, information on alcohol and substance use was obtained from […]
Motor skills were assessed by the Grooved Pegboard Dominant and Non-dominant Hand tests
Leveraging comprehensive neuropsychological data from the large-scale cohort of the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program at the University of California-San Diego, we used novel machine learning methods to identify differing profiles of cognitive function in PWH and to evaluate how these profiles differ between women and men in sex-stratified analyses. Rather, than using traditional cognitive domain scores, we […]
Patrick had rallied significant support and funding from teachers unions and school boards in his election
Newsom was endorsed by the California Teachers Association, and the CCSA had organized a group of donors to spend $23 million supporting the campaign of the more pro-charter candidate: former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa . In 2019, Newsom signed a bill that enhances the authority of local school boards to reject new charter schools, […]
Treatment is instrumented by whether a state allows citizen initiatives as discussed above
Analysis using citizen initiative rules as an instrument, though, as discussed above, can provide causal leverage. The key treatment is a measure of state marijuana legalization status at the end of the 116th Congress.In the main analysis, I code the treatment variable as 0 for states with neither medical nor adult-use, 1 for states with […]
These data record the number of registered lobbyists who lobbied on behalf of a particular firm
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration , capacity increased from just under 1700 megawatts in 2010 to nearly 25000 MW in 2019. While this is still just a small fraction of generation capacity overall, in 2016 it accounted for fully 12 percent of new capacity additions, and analysts expect the industry to continue to grow […]
The authority of sub-national governments sets American federalism apart from other federal systems
While debated , components of social capital include reciprocity, trust, safety, social agency, social networks, value of life, and employment connections . Research on social capital and HIV has predominantly focused on preventing HIV transmission with increased social capital being associated with decreased HIV transmission . High social capital was the strongest predictor of HIV […]
All opioid prescriptions except buprenorphine were included in the analysis of opioid use
The sample is derived from 7,728 patients treated in an academic health center in Los Angeles, consisting of 2,576 patients with OUD diagnosis in the EHR aged 18 to 64 years at their first OUD diagnosis and 5,152 control patients, matched by sex, date of birth , first encounter , and the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Data […]
LASSO identified the sleep metrics or combination that best predicted demographic and clinical variables
To date these traits have only been studied in smaller samples but this approach will be invaluable as sample sizes increase. Another challenge for AUD genetics is that AUD is a dynamic phenotype, even more so than other psychiatric conditions, and therefore may necessitate yet larger sample sizes. Ever-larger studies, particularly those extending mere alcohol […]
