Abstract

This secondary analysis examined the immediate and maintaining effects of a 12-week line-dancing intervention on upper and lower extremity activities in underserved adults who receive care from a nurse-managed clinic (NMC). This one-group, repeated measures, feasibility study consisted of 40 participants recruited from an urban apartment complex that housed a NMC. Of the 40 participants, 21 participants completed the 12-week line-dancing intervention. Physical function of the upper and lower extremities was measured with the Late Life Function and Disability Instrument at baseline, 12, and 18 weeks to determine the maintaining effects. Age ranged from 45 to 87 years (M = 63; SD = 7.8), body mass index (BMI) was 33.4 (SD = 7.8), 92% were female, and 75% were African American. At baseline, participants showed limitations in all aspects of physical function. Significant improvements in upper and lower extremity activities were noted at 12 weeks and maintained at 18 weeks. Although line-dancing mainly involves the lower body, there were significant improvements in upper extremity activities at 12 weeks, which were maintained at 18 weeks. The maintaining effects support line-dancing as an intervention to improve upper and lower extr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
