Cardiovascular Disease Disparities in Rural America: Can this House of Cards be Saved?
Debra Moser holds a Master of Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Science from the University of California at Los Angeles. She came to UK from The Ohio State University College of Nursing, Department of Adult Health and Illness Nursing. Since 1997, she has served as co-editor of the Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing. Dr. Moser's distinguished career began with 12 years of critical care nursing. This was just the beginning of a steady, productive journey toward her current program of research: working with and studying patients with coronary heart disease. As the College's Linda C. Gill Chair in Nursing and co-director of the RI...

Trade-off Resiliencies, Competing Disease Risks, and Ageotypes Virtual Workshop (Day 2)
Age is the primary risk factor for most major medical conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Aging, disease development, respectively resilience, are thus interconnected, but the molecular pathways and cellular mechanisms involved are not well understood. Deep multi-omics profiling appears to distinguish four molecular patterns of aging in individuals, “ ageotypes, ” that may be connected to competing risk of age-associated diseases. Recent research indicates that development of CVD or cancer are perhaps due to trade-offs between certain genes and processes,...

Autoinflammatory Disease and the Human Condition
This is the annual WALS Mider Lecture. Former NHGRI Scientific Director, and NIH Distinguished Investigator in the Metabolic, Cardiovascular and Inflammatory Disease Genomics Branch that has been with NIH since 1985, Dr. Dan Kastner ’ s career at the NIH his research has focused on using genetic and genomic strategies to understand inherited disorders of inflammation, often stimulated by patients with relatively rare disorders seen at the NIH Clinical Center hospital. This work has provided detailed molecular explanations for these illnesses, has provided the conceptual basis for highly effective targeted therapies, and ...

Getting to the “ Heart ” of Cardiometabolic Health Disparities
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Annual Robert S. Gordon Jr. Lecture
Cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, are exceedingly common and are collectively considered the leading causes of death worldwide. In this lecture, Dr. Lisa Cooper will describe the current state of cardiometabolic health disparities among adults in the United States. She will then discuss how interventions to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities are designed, implemented, and evaluated, and how these interventions address contributors to disparities at multiple levels...

NHLBI Obesity, Nutrition and Physical Activity Seminar: Intermittent Fasting and the Circadian Clock: Does When You Eat Affect Your Health?
NHLBI Obesity, Nutrition and Physical Activity Seminar In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Courtney M. Peterson, PhD, MSc, MA, MS, will present an overview of “ Intermittent Fasting and the Circadian Clock: Does When You Eat Affect Your Health? ” She will focus on time-restricted eating (TRE), a form of intermittent fasting that involves eating in a daily window of 10 hours or less, and cover what is known about how effective TRE is in humans. Dr. Peterson will also provide an introduction to circadian rhythms and their role in affecting metabolism and cardiovascular health. Finally, she will discuss human studies of how the...

Health Disparities among Sexual and Gender Minorities (SGM) - Day 1
The goal of this virtual two-day meeting is to identify priority research areas to understand and address SGM health disparities. Specifically, the workshop objectives are to identify research gaps in: (1) data sources and measures that can be used to assess and address SGM health disparities, (2) mechanisms and pathways that drive/cause SGM health disparities, and (3) interventions with the potential to mitigate/reduce SGM health disparities. The workshop will bring together a diverse set of researchers with expertise on important health outcomes (e.g., cancer, mental/behavioral health, cardiovascular disease, diabetes an...

Sex-specific in vitro models of aortic valve stenosis
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet our mechanistic knowledge of the sex-specific molecular and cellular mechanisms that guide cardiovascular disease progression, particularly in women, remain poorly characterized. Studies evaluating disease mechanisms rarely state the sex of cells used for in vitro studies or are performed primarily in male animal models, causing our gap in knowledge. My laboratory uses precision biomaterials as in vitro and in vivo tools to dissect mechanisms that contribute to sexual dimorphisms in cardiovascular diseases, specifically aortic valve stenosis. I...

2022 Stephen E. Straus Lecture: From the Mouths of Babes: What Can Research on Babies, Moms, Stress, and Substance Use Tell Us About Resilience?
Stress and adversity experienced during early development can exert a profound and persistent imprint on our physiology, brain, and health across the lifespan. This imprint can lead to long-term health outcomes ranging from substance use and depression to obesity and cardiovascular disease. There is also emerging evidence that stress and adversity may be transmitted from one generation to the next. However, protective experiences may prevent or mitigate these effects.
This lecture will provide examples of findings from Dr. Laura Stroud ’ s laboratory focused on revealing the earliest intergenerational transmission of mat...

Waistline to the Gumline: Defining Oral Health in Metabolic Syndrome Patients using an Integrated-Omics Approach
Metabolic Syndrome is a growing pandemic, affecting over one-third of US adults with a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities that predisposes to Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Critically, metabolic syndrome has been linked to oral health, with metabolic syndrome patients twice as likely to suffer from periodontitis. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unknown. Our work takes the first step in identifying the impact of metabolic syndrome on oral microbial, immune, and metabolic factors.Air date: 9/8/2022 9:30:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
