    Abstract The c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3) is a stress-activated kinase primarily expressed in the brain and implicated as an early mediator of neuronal apoptosis. We sought to develop a PET tracer to visualize pathological JNK3 activation. Because regional JNK3 activation precedes apoptosis, such an imaging agent might enable the detection of "at risk" brain regions prior to neuronal death. We prepared a set of

    Abstract In underserved communities in New York City, uninsured adults encounter a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The Heart-to-Heart Community Outreach Program (H2H) is addressing these disparities by providing screenings for diabetes and other cardiovascular disease risk factors, fostering community engagement in translational research at our CTSC. Screening events are hosted in partnership with community faith-based institutions. Participants provide medical history, complete a survey, and receive individualized counseling by clinicians with referrals for follow-up care. The population served is disproportionately non-white, uninsured, with low-income, and underserved. The program empowers participants to make beneficial lifestyle changes using myriad strategies to reach those most in need. This required strong foundational program leadership, effective inter-institutional collaboration, and maintaining of community trust. Leveraging partnerships with faith-based institutions and community centers in at-risk NYC neighborhoods, H2H addresses the increasing burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk factors in vulnerable individuals and provides a model for similar initiatives.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the effects of a 6-month weight loss intervention on physical function, inflammatory biomarkers, and metabolic biomarkers in both those with and without osteoarthritis (OA).
    Design: 59 individuals ≥60 years old with obesity and a functional impairment were enrolled into this IRB approved clinical trial and randomized into one of two 6-month weight loss arms: a higher protein hypocaloric diet or a standard protein hypocaloric diet. All participants were prescribed individualized 500-kcal daily-deficit diets, with a goal of 10% weight loss. Additionally, participants participated in three, low-intensity, exercise sessions per week. Physical function, serum biomarkers and body composition data were assessed at the baseline and 6-month timepoints. Statistical analyses assessed the relationships between biomarkers, physical function, body composition, and OA status as a result of the intervention.
    Results: No group effects of dietary intervention were detected on any outcome measures (multiple p ​> ​0.05). During the 6-month trial, participants lost 6.2 ​± ​4.0% of their bodyweight (p ​< ​0.0001) and experienced improved physical function on the Short-Performance-Physical-Battery (p ​< ​0.0001), 8-foot-up-and-go (p ​< ​0.0001), and time to complete 10-chair-stands (p ​< ​0.0001). Adiponectin concentrations (p ​= ​0.0480) were elevated, and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentrations (p ​< ​0.0001) were reduced; further analysis revealed that reductions in serum COMP concentrations were greater in OA-negative individuals.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that weight loss in older adults with and without OA may provide a protective effect to cartilage and OA. In particular, OA-negative individuals may be able to mitigate changes associated with OA through weight loss.

    Abstract We randomly extracted publicly available Tweets mentioning COVID-19 related terms (n=2,558,474 Tweets) from Tweet corpora collected daily using an API from Jan 21st to May 3rd, 2020. We applied a clustering algorithm to publicly available Tweets authored by African Americans (n=1,763) to detect topics and sentiment applying natural language processing (NLP). We visualized fifteen topics (four themes) using network diagrams (Newman modularity 0.74). Compared to the COVID-19 related Tweets authored by others, positive sentiments, cohesively encouraging online discussions (e.g., Black strong 27.1%, growing up Blacks 22.8%, support Black business 17.0%, how to build resilience 7.8%), and COVID-19 prevention behaviors (e.g., masks 4.7%, encouraging social distancing 9.4%) were uniquely observed in African American Twitter communities. Application of topic modeling techniques to streaming social media Twitter provides the foundation for research team insights regarding information and future virtual based intervention and social media based health disparity research for COVID-19.

    Abstract Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is an essential tool for disease diagnosis and management; all marketed clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) are gadolinium (Gd) chelates and most are extracellular fluid (ECF) agents. After intravenous injection, these agents rapidly distribute to the extracellular space and are also characterized by low serum protein binding and predominant renal clearance. Gd is an abiotic element with no biological recycling processes; low levels of Gd have been detected in the central nervous system and bone long after administration. These observations have prompted interest in the development of new MRI contrast agents based on biotic elements such as iron (Fe); Fe-HBED (HBED =

    Abstract Background: More primary care providers (PCPs) have begun to embrace the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), but little is known about how PCPs are currently using POCUS and what barriers exist. In this prospective study, the largest systematic survey of POCUS use among PCPs, we assessed the current use, barriers to use, program management, and training needs for POCUS in primary care.
    Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of all VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) between June 2019 and March 2020 using a web-based survey sent to all VAMC Chiefs of Staff and Chiefs of primary care clinics (PCCs).
    Results: Chiefs of PCCs at 105 VAMCs completed the survey (82% response rate). Only 13% of PCCs currently use POCUS, and the most common applications used were bladder and musculoskeletal ultrasound. Desire for POCUS training exceeded current use, but lack of trained providers (78%), ultrasound equipment (66%), and funding for training (41%) were common barriers. Program infrastructure to support POCUS use was uncommon, and only 9% of VAMCs had local policies related to POCUS. Most PCC chiefs (64%) would support POCUS training.
    Conclusions: Current use of POCUS in primary care is low despite the recent growth of POCUS training in Internal Medicine residency programs. Investment in POCUS training and program infrastructure is needed to expand POCUS use in primary care and ensure adequate supervision of trainees.
