The global state of research in pain management of osteoarthritis (2000–2019): A 20-year visualized analysis
There has been a highly active area in the pain management of osteoarthritis (OA) over the past 2 decades. The study aims to unmask the global status and trends in this field. Publications on pain management of OA from 2000 to 2019 were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. The data were analyzed using bibliometric statistical methodology. The software VOS viewer was used for bibliographic coupling, co-authorship, co-citation, co-occurrence analysis and to investigate the publication trends in pain management of OA. A total of 8207 researches in amount were included. The relative research interests and nu...

Compound C Protects Against Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity Through Pleiotropic Effects
AICAR (Acadesine/AICA riboside) as an activator of AMPK, can protect renal tubular cells from cisplatin induced apoptosis. But in our experiment, the dorsomorphin (compound C, an inhibitor of AMPK) also significantly reduced cisplatin induced renal tubular cells apoptosis. Accordingly, we tested whether compound C can protect cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and the specific mechanism. Here, we treated Boston University mouse proximal tubular cells (BUMPT-306) with cisplatin and/or different dosages of AICAR (Acadesine/AICA riboside) or compound C to confirm the effect of AICAR and compound C in vitro. The AMPK-siRNA treat...

Recognizing African-American contributions to neurology: The role of Solomon Carter Fuller (1872-1953) in Alzheimer's disease research.
Authors: Mohammed H Abstract Solomon Carter Fuller (1872-1953) is widely acknowledged as the first African-American psychiatrist but underappreciated as a pioneer of Alzheimer's disease. He immigrated to the United States from Liberia at age 17 and excelled in his medical career to become associate professor of both pathology and neurology at Boston University by 1921. He was one of five research assistants selected by Alois Alzheimer to work in his laboratory at the Royal Psychiatric Hospital in Munich, an experience that arguably paved the way for trailblazing research in Alzheimer's disease. Dr Fuller w...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 8115: Racial and Ethnic Disparities in COVID-19 Outcomes: Social Determination of Health
This study investigates pandemic disparities and examines some factors which inform the social determination of health. These findings are key for developing effective public policy and allocating resources to effectively decrease health disparities. Protective standards, stay-at-home orders, and essential worker guidelines must be tailored to address the social determination of health in order to mitigate health injustices, as identified by COVID-19 incidence and mortality RQs.

Effectiveness of the Boston University Approach to Psychiatric Rehabilitation in Improving Social Participation in People With Severe Mental Illnesses: A Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionsWhile ACC was as effective as BPR in improving the social participation of individuals with SMIs, much higher percentages of participants in our sample found (paid) work or other meaningful activities than in observational studies without specific support for social participation. This suggests that focused rehabilitation efforts are beneficial, irrespective of the specific methodology used. (Source: Frontiers in Psychiatry)

Nonfatal Opioid Overdoses Rose During COVID-19 Pandemic, Report Suggests
Data from an emergency department in Richmond suggests that the number of nonfatal opioid-related overdoses may have risen during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among people who are Black. Thefindings were published inJAMA.Taylor A. Ochalek, Ph.D., of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and colleagues compared the number of nonfatal opioid overdoses recorded in electronic medical records from VCU ’s Emergency Department from March to June 2019 with those that occurred from March to June 2020—the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. They found nonfatal opioid overdoses increased fro...

Depression Symptoms Soar During Pandemic, Study Finds
The prevalence of symptoms of depression in U.S. adults during a two-week period of the COVID-19 pandemic was more than three times higher than before the pandemic, according to areport inJAMA Network Open.Moreover, people with a lower income, savings of less than $5,000, and greater exposure to COVID-19 stressors were more likely to have depressive symptoms than people who did not fall into those categories.“These findings suggest that there is a high burden of depression symptoms in the United States associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and that this burden falls disproportionately on individuals who are already at in...

Early Postoperative Functional Assessment Predicts Non-home Discharge following Pulmonary Lobectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Early postoperative functional impairment assessment using AM-PAC may be useful to predict of non-hospital discharge following pulmonary lobectomy. Attention to these factors may be used to aid early disposition planning, and adjust preventative strategies.

Lessons Learned From a Peer Writing Coach Program in a School of Public Health.
Authors: Beard J, Monteiro R, Price-Oreyomi MB, Edouard VB, Murphy-Phillips M Abstract Clear writing is a critical component of public health research and practice. The ability to convey information in a concise, engaging, and insightful manner influences stakeholder engagement and is the backbone of program and policy development, organization, and implementation. To help master of public health (MPH) students adapt their writing skills to these specialized demands, Boston University School of Public Health launched the Peer Writing Coach Program in 2010 staffed by MPH students. The service is open to all...
