Journal ArticleDOI
Advancing Health Disparities Research Within the Health Care System: A Conceptual Framework
Amy M. Kilbourne,Galen E. Switzer,Galen E. Switzer,Kelly Hyman,Megan Crowley-Matoka,Megan Crowley-Matoka,Michael J. Fine,Michael J. Fine +7 more
TL;DR: This work identified potential selection biases and definitions of vulnerable groups when detecting disparities and identified multilevel determinants of health disparities, including individual beliefs and preferences, effective patient-provider communication, and the organizational culture of the health care system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates and risk factors for nonadherence to the medical regimen after adult solid organ transplantation.
Mary Amanda Dew,Andrea DiMartini,Annette DeVito Dabbs,Larissa Myaskovsky,Jennifer L. Steel,Mark Unruh,Galen E. Switzer,R. Zomak,Robert L. Kormos,Joel B. Greenhouse +9 more
TL;DR: The estimated nonadherence rates, overall and by transplant type, allow clinicians to gauge patient risk and target resources accordingly and suggest that attention should focus on other classes of variables (e.g., provider-related and systems-level factors), which may be more influential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, Severity, and Importance of Physical and Emotional Symptoms in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
Steven D. Weisbord,Linda F. Fried,Robert M. Arnold,Michael J. Fine,David J. Levenson,Rolf A. Peterson,Galen E. Switzer +6 more
TL;DR: Overall symptom burden and severity each were correlated directly with impaired quality of life and depression in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and associations between symptoms and quality oflife remained robust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal Muscle Triglycerides, Diacylglycerols, and Ceramides in Insulin Resistance: Another Paradox in Endurance-Trained Athletes?
Francesca Amati,John J. Dubé,Elvis Alvarez-Carnero,Martin M. Edreira,Peter J. Chomentowski,Paul M. Coen,Galen E. Switzer,Galen E. Switzer,Perry E. Bickel,Maja Stefanovic-Racic,Frederico G.S. Toledo,Bret H. Goodpaster +11 more
TL;DR: Total myocellular D AGs were markedly higher in highly trained athletes, corresponding with higher insulin sensitivity, and suggest a more complex role for DAGs in insulin action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does transplantation produce quality of life benefits? A quantitative analysis of the literature.
Mary Amanda Dew,Galen E. Switzer,Jean M. Goycoolea,Aishe S. B.S. Allen,Andrea DiMartini,Robert L. Kormos,Bartley P. Griffith +6 more
TL;DR: Although transplantation may not restore to the patient the "normal" life he/she may once have had, convergent evidence from six areas of transplantation, a variety of study designs, and demographically diverse study cohorts suggests that there are distinct QOL benefits of transplantations.
