Susceptibility to stress and nature exposure: unveiling the Integrative Model of Environmental Sensitivity
Get PDFThe objective of this program of research was to uncover potential mechanisms underpinning epidemiological evidence that groups in lower versus higher socioeconomic positions exhibit greater health benefits from nature exposure. One possible mechanism is described in the Integrative Model of Environmental Sensitivity: (susceptibility to stress) groups in lower socioeconomic positions are often exposed to more early-life stressors, which can induce a lifelong susceptibility to stress through various neurobiological pathways; (environmental sensitivity) susceptibility to stress, traditionally understood as heightened reactivity to stressors, could also encompass enhanced responsivity to health-protective exposures, inducing greater risks in adverse environments, but also greater benefits in protective environments. As the evidence for this framework expands, it could inform more targeted interventions that leverage individual differences in environmental sensitivity to promote health equity, ultimately providing more nuanced and socioeconomically attuned approaches to public health
EPIC on the move: empowering OHSU's Mobile Health Coalition via integrated operations
Get PDFThe EPIC on the Move project was undertaken to address the growing need for enhanced operational efficiency and seamless data integration across these diverse mobile health programs. Recognizing that the current decentralized operational models and disparate data collection methods hinder the coalition's collective potential, this report presents recommendations for a unified approach to leveraging OHSU's Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, EPIC, and centralizing key logistical functions
Patient satisfaction with a patient centered inpatient care delivery program in a rural community hospital
Get PDFA descriptive study examines patient satisfaction with a patient-centered care delivery program in a small rural community hospital. A sample of 15 adult nonintrapartum inpatients were interviewed using a tool developed by the investigator, after at least 24 hours of hospitalization. Five point Likert scale items, as well as open-ended questions, were used to assess patient satisfaction with a variety of program elements addressing the broad focus of this hospital-wide service delivery
Identifying genetic targets of Tau toxicity in Frontotemporal Dementia Drosophila model
No full textCurrent treatments for FTD mitigate some behavioral changes, but there are no therapies that prevent or slow the progression of the disease. Profiling the epigenetic changes in FTD disease-associated Tau expressing Drosophila will help to elucidate the nuclear mechanisms of mutant Tau and yield insight into FTD disease progression
