    Description

    This study generated a replicable neighborhood-level physical activity location availability score (PALAS) from data variables associated with physical activity among adolescents. This score was used to determine if a relationship exists between PA and PA location availability in Baltimore City, Maryland. Nine PALAS component variables were applied to 218 locations. Private PA location variables were...

    Description

    A sample of TikTok videos associated with the hashtag #coronavirus were downloaded on September 20, 2020. Misinformation was evaluated on a scale (low, medium, high) using a codebook developed by experts in infectious diseases. Multivariable modeling was used to evaluate factors associated with number of views and presence of user comments indicating intention to change behavior. Videos and related...

    Harish Nair
    Description

    Through a systematic review, this study collected published and unpublished data on human parainfluenza virus (hPIV) burden to estimate the global and regional number of hPIV-associated acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) cases, hospitalizations, and mortality by children under five years (stratified 0–5 months, 6–11 months, and 12–59 months) for 2018. The datasets include incidence rates of...

    Description

    Nonarthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) commonly causes sudden optic nerve (ON)-related vision loss. The rodent NAION model (rAION) closely resembles NAION in presentation and physiological responses. Researchers hypothesized that blocking pro-inflammatory prostaglandin (PGE2) production by inhibiting monoacylglycerol lipase or cyclooxygenase activity and co-administering PGJ2 would...

    Description

    This dataset was generated to investigate long-lasting neurobiological adaptations to drugs of abuse. This dataset specifically supported the study of cocaine exposure impact of mitochondrial dynamics and morphology through early growth response factor 3 (Egr3) transcriptional regulation of mitochondria-related nuclear gene transcripts. Mitochondria-related nuclear genes were assayed following contingent...
