A promising formulation of glipizide comprising compression of four-layer coated beads into tablets which has advantages of providing a lag time (~ 2 hours) before drug release, retaining sustained-release characteristics, and providing approximately zero-order drug release, with drug release nearly independent of paddle speeds of 50 and 100 rpm during...

The objectives of this study were to determine the extent of absorption of functionalized
single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) across the gut epithelial cells in Daphnia magna.
Several microscopic techniques were utilized, including micro-Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selective area diffraction (SAD). In an
effort to examine the...
In current nanotoxicology research, there is a lack of standardization in reporting of zebrafish exposure media and sonication practices. This lack of standardization in use and reporting methods has made reproducing nanoparticle (NP) toxicity results between labs a common issue. It is important to have a standardized way of reporting...
Background: Latino sexual minority men (SMM) may be a group disproportionately at risk for substance use than heterosexual Latino men and non-Latino SMM. As religiosity may be a culturally relevant factor, the current study aimed to explore the association of three subcomponents of religiosity: organizational religious activity (ORA; i.e., public...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue due to the incidence,
complexity, and cost associated with treatment. The purpose of this study was to
determine physical activity (PA) knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and barriers
among individuals with a TBI undergoing outpatient rehabilitation. Seventeen
participants completed a series of...
While the use of powered mobility devices for young children with mobility challenges has taken off in recent years following evidence that the use of powered mobility at a young age augments other traditional mobility skill interventions, the research is still limited and focuses on physical impacts more. Recently, the...
The purpose of this study was to understand current caregiver attitudes towards powered mobility devices for young children with disabilities. This data was obtained by collecting surveys from pediatric physical therapists who interact with many caregivers on a daily basis and often act as the bridge between families and access...
Modified ride-on cars are used by young children with disabilities for self-directed mobility. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to (1) determine the association between modified ride-on car driving time, family income, and primary caregiver education level; and (2) compare modified ride-on car driving time, family income, and primary...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder that is fatal 2-4 years after the onset of the disease. Population studies are being done in order to help reveal candidates for further studies of disease etiology, disease progression, as well as to further understand racial and ethnic variations....
Background: Mastery of fundamental motor skills (FMS) in childhood is proposed to facilitate participation in physical activity (PA) opportunities, through context-specific application of FMS (Clarke & Metclafe, 2002; Stodden et al., 2008). Children with disabilities
impacting motor skill development thus are at greater risk for low PA participation. Evidence indicates...
