Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of various toothpaste tablets on gloss and surface roughness of resin-based composite. METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty-four resin-based composite specimens were divided into four groups of 16 specimens each. Gloss and roughness were measured before and after simulated brushing with three types of toothpaste tablets and one conventional toothpaste: CT: Chewtab Toothpaste Tablets; AT: Anticavity Toothpaste Tablets; HC: Charcoal Toothpaste Tablets; CP: Cavity Protection toothpaste. The Kruskal- Wallis procedure was performed to compare the differences by groups. Post-hoc comparisons were conducted with Bonferroni corrections (α=0.05). RESULTS There was a significant drop in gloss for all groups. CT and AT maintained the highest gloss with means of 81.6 GU and 74.1 GU, respectively. The lowest gloss of 24.5 GU was observed for HC. There was a significant increase in roughness for all groups except for CT. CT had the lowest roughness with a mean of 0.034 μm, while HC had the highest roughness with a mean of 0.074 μm. There was a significant correlation between post-brushing gloss and post-brushing roughness (p<0.001, r=-0.884). CONCLUSION Chewtab Toothpaste Tablets had the least effect on gloss and roughness, while Charcoal Toothpaste Tablets had the most negative effect on the surface properties of resin-based composites.

Abstract
CdTe-based detectors have the problem of Te-rich surface layers caused by Br etching, which is one of fabrication steps. Te-rich layer acts as a trapping center and serves as an additional source of charge carriers, thereby degrading transport property of charge carriers and enriching leakage current on surface of detector. To solve this problem, we introduced sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as a passivant, and investigated its effect on Cd0.95Mn0.05Te0.98Se0.02 (CMTS), by analyzing chemical state of surface and its performance. After passivation with NaOCl, the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows the formation of tellurium oxide and elimination of water on CMTS surface, and CMTS presented enhanced performance with Am-241 radioisotope. Consequently, it is demonstrated that the passivation with NaOCl reduces leakage current, compensates defect, and elevates transport of charge carriers, thereby decreasing charge loss of carriers and improving performance of CMTS detector.

Abstract
Given the importance of healthy eating in the later years of life, the present study examined factors associated with dietary risks in older Korean Americans. We hypothesized that dietary risks would be associated with sociodemographic disadvantages, adverse health conditions, and limited sociocultural resources. Dietary risks were assessed with a scale covering five behavioral and situational risk factors (eating alone, skipping meals, functional challenges, oral health problems, and financial difficulties). Analyses of the data from the Study of Older Korean Americans (N = 2,150) showed that the sample on average had 1.13 risks (SD = 1.31), eating alone having the highest frequency (35.6%). Supporting the hypothesis, higher levels of dietary risks were found in individuals with sociodemographic disadvantages, poorer physical and mental health status, smaller social networks, and lower acculturation. Findings suggest concerted efforts to promote dietary behaviors and call attention to older immigrants who are socially and culturally isolated.

Abstract
Introduction:
Although many clinical trials tested the effects of a low sodium diet (LSD) on high blood pressure (HBP) management, adherence to an LSD remains challenging. Considerable barriers to adherence to diet modification have been examined, and heterogenous responses to an LSD evolved. We tested the intra-individual response to an LSD to develop an individualized dietary intervention to optimize HBP management. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of a personalized low-sodium diet (P-LSD), enhanced by mobile health technology for real-time dietary assessment and at-home BP monitoring in hypertensive adults.
Methods:
A total of 24 hypertensive patients (60.4±10.7 years) were randomly assigned to either PLSD (n=16) or usual care control groups (n=8). Participants in P-LSD went through individual sessions via video conferencing to discuss LSD regimens, patients’ food choices, and BP tracks on mobile apps. The Control group followed their usual care for HBP management. All participants in both groups monitored diet and BP using mobile apps for 8 weeks. A 24-hour urinary sodium excretion for the estimation of dietary sodium intake, SBP, and DBP were measured at the baseline and at 8 weeks. The preliminary effects of P-LSD were tested by paired t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
Results:
Dietary sodium intake (
t
= 3.82), SBP (
t
= 3.95), and DBP (
t
= 3.54) were significantly declined overtime in the P-LSD group (Ps<0.01) but not in control group (Ps>0.05). There were significant differences between the control and intervention groups in changes of dietary sodium intake (F=18.6, p<0.001) and SBP over time (F=4.84, p<0.05) before and after the intervention. No statistically significant difference was revealed in DBP between the two groups before the intervention (p=0.20).
Conclusion:
The PLSD appears to be effective on the adherence to an LSD and BP control in hypertensive patients. Future studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to examine the long-term effects of PLSD on outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health literacy and access to care are critical facilitators for preventive health behaviors. After the passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010, little has been studied about how improved health insurance coverage has impacted the use of preventive health services among Korean Americans. OBJECTIVE The study assessed the impact of access to care, use of services, and health literacy on cancer screening among Korean Americans. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study of 377 Korean Americans age 18 years and older was conducted with a survey and convenient sampling in Texas. KEY RESULTS Although 79% of the sample had health insurance, 32% had never visited a health care provider, and 14% were delayed in care in the past 12 months. Only 11.6% were confident to complete medical forms, and 69.5% had limited levels of confidence. Cancer screening compliance rates were: mammography (50.4% at age 40-54 years; 46.6% at age 55 years and older), a Pap smear (29.4% at age 21-29 years; 78.4% at age 30-65 years; 72.2% at age 66 years and older), and colorectal cancer screening at age 45 years and older (stool tests 15.1%; sigmoidoscopy 27%; colonoscopy 51.3%). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that household income, gender, health insurance, and health literacy were significantly associated with self-reported cancer screening. CONCLUSIONS Korean Americans who participated in this study are characterized by marginalized health literacy, underused health care services, and significantly lower cancer screening compliance than the goals of Healthy People 2020. The following interventions are suggested to improve health literacy and health insurance literacy on cancer screening: culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate education for the guidelines concordant with cancer screening, effective communication skills with health care providers, support for navigating the health care system, and development of internet- or social media-based health education programs to meet the preferred communication methods of this population. [HLRP: Health Literacy Research and Practice. 2021;5(4):e310-e318.] Plain Language Summary: Despite having improved health insurance coverage, Korean Americans of this study have marginalized health literacy, limited health insurance literacy, low cancer screening compliance, and underused health care services. The results of this study suggest several strategies to improve health literacy and health insurance literacy for Korean Americans, which may also apply to other groups with similar barriers.

Abstract
The genetic factors involved with salt sensitivity (SS) have been studied using a genetic approach to identify individuals at high risk for developing hypertension and could benefit from a low sodium diet intervention, but this has not been well-studied in Korean American immigrants (KAIs). The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the influence of SS that moderates blood pressure (BP) in KAIs (n = 34). KAIs were recruited from local communities and completed a blood draw, a 8-day food log, and BP testing. The dietary sodium intake was measured using the Fitbit mobile app, and an SS biomarker was assessed using targeted genotyping. out of five GNAI2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tested, rs4547694 significantly moderated the relationship of dietary sodium intake on BP in KAIs. Conclusions: Further studies are warranted to test the effect of a reduced sodium diet on BP while accounting for the moderating influence of an SS genotype.

Abstract
A fast-ion Dα (FIDA) diagnostics system was installed for core and edge measurements on KSTAR. This system has two tangential FIDA arrays that cover both blue- and redshifted Dα lines (cold: 656.09 nm) in active views along the neutral beam 1 A centerline. The spectral band is 647-662.5 nm, and it covers the Doppler shift of the emission from the maximum energy of the neutral beam (100 keV). A curved filter strip with a motorized stage adequately prevents saturation of the electron multiplying charge-coupled device signal by the cold Dα line from the plasma edge. From comparisons of the measured spectra and FIDASIM modeling code, the FIDA spectra are well matched quantitatively. Moreover, the first measurements show that the FIDA radiance agrees with the neutron rate in the time trace during external heating and perturbation. In addition, responses are observed in the core FIDA radiance during the edge-localized mode cycle.

OBJECTIVE The present study developed a psychometrically sound DM-specific HL instrument that measures oral and print HL. METHODS We developed the measure in three steps. First, we reviewed clinical guidelines and conducted focus groups with experts to generate items. Next, we conducted a psychometric evaluation of the scale in three language versions (English, Spanish, and Korean). Lastly, we identified and removed items with potential cultural bias and duplicate functions to produce shorter versions of the scale, using item response theory (IRT). KEY RESULTS We initially developed an 82-item DM-specific oral HL scale using the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (DM-REALM) model. To improve the clinical utility of the DM-REALM, we created shorter forms, a 40-item and 20-item version, and evaluated them by using IRT. All DM-REALM versions had high Cronbach alphas (.985, .974, and .945, respectively) and yielded sufficient convergent validity by positive correlations with existing functional HL scale (r = .49, p < .001), education (r = .14, p = .14 to r = .54, p < .001), and DM knowledge (r = .04, p = .70 to r = .36, p < .001). DM-REALM also demonstrated adequate sensitivity as an intervention evaluation tool that captures the changes induced by an intervention. CONCLUSIONS All forms of the DM-REALM tool were reliable, valid, and clinically useful measures of HL in the context of DM care. Both researchers and clinicians can use this tool to assess DM-specific HL across multiple racial and ethnic populations. [HLRP: Health Literacy Research and Practice. 2020;4(4):e237-e249.] PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: This article reported the process and findings of a newly developed health literacy scale for people with diabetes mellitus using three different language versions. Both long and short versions of the scale demonstrated adequate validity and reliability.

Abstract
Acculturative stress is speculated to be a sociocultural factor contributing to pain since cultural beliefs and practices can influence the way patients perceive and respond to pain. However, the relationship between acculturative stress and pain catastrophizing remains poorly understood. Therefore, we examined the relationship between acculturative stress and pain catastrophizing in Korean Americans. We collected survey data from Korean American in Texas (N = 374). Acculturative stress was measured with the Acculturative Stress Scale, and pain catastrophizing was measured with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. Participants' mean age was 46.89 years, and 63% were women. Bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses indicated that higher acculturative stress may contribute to higher pain catastrophizing (regression coefficient = 1.02, P = 0.04). These findings advance our understanding of sociocultural factors associated with pain in Korean Americans; additional research with a larger sample is warranted for cross-validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-monitoring is key to successful behavior change in diabetes and obesity, and the use of traditional paper-based methods of self-monitoring may be time-consuming and burdensome. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore participant experiences while using technology-assisted self-monitoring of lifestyle behaviors and health indicators among overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Qualitative data collected from the intervention group of a 6-month, three-arm (control, paper diary, and technology-assisted self-monitoring groups) randomized clinical trial were analyzed. Study participants in the intervention group monitored their diet, exercise, and weight using the LoseIt! app, and their blood glucose levels using a glucometer and the Diabetes Connect app. Semistructured group discussions were conducted at 6 weeks (n=10) from the initiation of the behavioral lifestyle intervention and again at 6 months (n=9). All group interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Using a combination of thematic and comparative analysis approaches, two trained professionals coded the transcriptions independently and then discussed and concluded common themes for the 6-week and 6-month discussions separately. RESULTS The sample (n=10), which primarily involved African American participants (n=7) and female participants (n=8), had a mean age of 59.4 years. The following eight themes emerged: (1) perceived benefits of technology-assisted self-monitoring; (2) perceived ease of use (eg, barriers: technical difficulties and lack of self-discipline; facilitators: help from family, friends, and the program); (3) use of technology-assisted self-monitoring; (4) facilitators of engaging in healthy lifestyle behaviors (eg, visualization and awareness of calorie input/expenditure); (5) positive lifestyle change; (6) barriers of engaging in healthy lifestyle behaviors (eg, event influence); (7) learning curve; and (8) monitored data sharing. The first six of these themes were shared between the 6-week and 6-month timepoints, but the codes within these themes were not all the same and differed slightly between the two timepoints. These differences provide insights into the evolution of participant thoughts and perceptions on using technology for self-monitoring and subsequent behavioral lifestyle changes while participating in lifestyle interventions. The findings from the 6-week and 6-month data helped to paint a picture of participant comfort and the integration of technology and knowledge overtime, and clarified participant attitudes, difficulties, behavioral processes, and modifications, as well as health indicators that were experienced throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS Although there were some barriers, participants were able to identify various individual and external facilitators to adjust to and engage in technology-assisted self-monitoring, and it was concluded that the technology-assisted self-monitoring approach was beneficial, safe, and feasible to use for positive lifestyle change. These patient perspectives need to be considered in future research studies when investigating the effectiveness of using technology-assisted self-monitoring, as well as in clinical practice when recommending technology-assisted self-monitoring of lifestyle behaviors and health indicators to improve health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although scientific reports increasingly document the negative impact of inadequate health literacy on health-seeking behaviors, health literacy's effect on health outcomes in patients with diabetes is not entirely clear, owing to insufficient empirical studies, mixed findings, and insufficient longitudinal research. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to empirically examine underlying mechanisms of health literacy's role in diabetes management among a group of Korean Americans with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Data from a randomized clinical trial of a health literacy-focused Type 2 diabetes self-management intervention conducted during 2012-2016 in the Korean American community were collected at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. A total of 250 Korean Americans with Type 2 diabetes participated (intervention, 120; control, 130). Participants were first-generation Korean American immigrants. Health literacy knowledge was measured with the original Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine and the diabetes mellitus-specific Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine. Functional health literacy was measured with the numeracy subscale of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults and the Newest Vital Sign screening instrument, which also uses numeracy. Primary outcomes included glucose control and diabetes quality of life. Multivariate analyses included latent variable modeling. RESULTS A series of path analyses identified self-efficacy and self-care skills as significant mediators between health literacy and glucose control and quality of life. Education and acculturation were the most significant correlates of health literacy. DISCUSSION Despite inconsistent findings in the literature, this study indicates that health literacy may indirectly influence health outcomes through mediators such as self-care skills and self-efficacy. The study highlights the importance of health literacy, as well as underlying mechanisms with which health literacy influences processes and outcomes of diabetes self-management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the United States, more than one-third of the adult population is obese, and approximately 25.2% of those aged ≥65 years have type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is the seventh leading cause of death. It is important to measure patient-reported outcomes and monitor progress or challenges over time when managing T2D to understand patients' perception of health and quantify the impact of disease processes or intervention effects. The evaluation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is especially important among patients with multiple chronic conditions in which clinical measures do not provide a complete picture of health. OBJECTIVE This study examined the feasibility of collecting Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures, and preliminarily evaluated changes in PROMIS scores and compared the scores with standard scores of the general US population. The parent study is a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial testing three different modes (mobile health [mHealth], paper diary, and control) of self-monitoring in a behavioral lifestyle intervention among overweight or obese patients with T2D. METHODS Patients with comorbid overweight or obesity and a diagnosis of T2D for at least 6 months were recruited from a diabetes education program. Participants were randomized to the following three groups: mHealth, paper diary, and control (standard of care) groups. Paper diary and mHealth experimental groups received additional behavioral lifestyle intervention education sessions, as well as tools to self-monitor weight, physical activity, diet, and blood glucose. All participants completed PROMIS-57 and PROMIS-Global Health (GH) version 1.0 questionnaires during visits at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The PROMIS-57 includes the following seven domains: anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain interference, physical function, satisfaction with participation in social roles, and sleep disturbance. The PROMIS-GH is composed of the following two domains: global mental health and global physical health. RESULTS A total of 26 patients (mHealth, 11; paper diary, 9; control, 6) were included in our analysis. The study sample was predominantly African American (68%) and female (57%), with a mean age of 54.7 years and a mean BMI of 37.5 kg/m2. All patients completed the PROMIS-57 and PROMIS-GH questionnaires, and we compared the mean scores of the three groups to investigate potential differences. No relevant differences were noted across the groups. However, positive trends were noted in both intervention (mHealth and paper diary) groups in the middle (month 3) and end (month 6) of the study. CONCLUSIONS Our pilot study provides evidence for the feasibility of using PROMIS questionnaires to record important components of T2D-related symptoms among overweight or obese individuals. The results from our study support the use of PROMIS questionnaires to provide clinicians and researchers with a benchmark for assessing the overall need for symptom management and determining the success or challenges of an intervention.

Abstract
This paper presents the required structure and function of a ring-FEL as a radiation source for extreme ultraviolet radiation lithography (EUVL). A 100 m-long straight section that conducts an extremely low emittance beam from a fourth-generation storage ring can increase the average power at 13.5 nm wavelength to up to 1 kW without degrading the beam in the rest of the ring. Here, simulation results for a ring-FEL as a EUVL source are described.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) is a family of rare genetic diseases, the most common being acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). AHP results from enzyme deficiencies involved in haem synthesis, leading to accumulation of neurotoxic haem intermediates, aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG), causing potentially life-threatening attacks and chronic symptoms. Patients afflicted by AHP often remain without a proper diagnosis for up to 15 years due to lack of awareness and testing. First-line diagnostic biochemical tests include measuring spot urinary ALA and PBG as both are elevated in the majority of AHP patients.
Aims
The study aimed to describe physicians experience diagnosing AHP and characterize patients globally, including Canada.
Methods
Physicians (n=175) who actively managed AHP patients (with and without recurrent attacks) in the preceding year were recruited from 9/2017–10/2017 to complete an online survey collecting information on demographics, familiarity with AHP and diagnostic tests, perspective on symptoms important to diagnosis, referral patterns, and treatment preferences. Physicians also completed a chart review of 546 patients and reported anonymized data on demographics, medical history, attacks, and symptoms. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics.
Results
Canadian physicians (n=15) practiced a mean of 19.7 years, 67% worked in community settings, and 53% were gastroenterologists. Symptoms informing AHP diagnosis included fatigue (93%), sensory loss (87%), mental confusion (87%), Abdominal pain (80%), red/dark urine (80%), vomiting (73%). AHP diagnostic tests considered informative for diagnosis included urinary ALA (87%) and PBG (80%); however, several non-specific tests were also commonly considered informative of AHP. Chronic symptoms reported included fatigue (75%), nausea/vomiting (70%), weakness (66%), pain (58%), anxiety (54%), diarrhea (41%), constipation (40%). Canadian physicians reported a mean of 58% AHP patients they manage being initially misdiagnosed. Global patients (n=546) were aged 40 years (mean), female (52%), with AIP (83%). Canadian patients (n=38) were aged 41 years (mean), female (61%), with AIP (78%). Patients had mean of 3.4 attacks and 1.6 hospitalizations in the past year.
Conclusions
This study highlights the challenges diagnosing AHP due to non-specificity of symptoms and limited understanding of diagnostic procedures. Due to the frequent presentation of gastrointestinal symptoms, AHP should be included in gastroenterologists’ differential diagnosis of patients presenting with non-specific abdominal pain. Among patients diagnosed with AHP, both acute attacks and chronic symptoms were reported, implicating both in the disease.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as well as poor glycemic control among T2DM patients, yet comparative studies of its association among ethnic minority populations are scarce. Using baseline data from a behavioral intervention study of Korean Americans (KAs) with T2DM (N = 250 KAs) and the NHANES data set, we explored differential roles of vitamin D on HbA1C level or T2DM control in several racial groups. Significantly more KAs (55.2%) were vitamin D-deficient (U.S. average, 37.8%). Both common and unique correlates of vitamin D deficiency in minority populations were identified, including significant associations between Vitamin D and HbA1C in both non-diabetic and diabetic populations. Future studies are warranted to explain the causal mechanism of the effect of vitamin D and glycemic control as well as to examine contextual factors associated with vitamin D deficiency in certain minority groups.Clinical Trials Registry: Identifier NCT01264796.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
End-stage liver disease is associated with significant systemic and haemodynamic alterations that affect cardiac function. Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy remains an ill-defined entity among cardiologists. Understanding the complex interplay between liver dysfunction and cardiac function can lead to a better understanding of the compensatory mechanisms of the heart in liver failure.
Purpose
To investigate whether severity of liver disease affects baseline cardiac output in a large contemporary cohort of patients undergoing liver transplant work-up.
Methods
Consecutive patients that underwent pre-liver transplant (LT) workup between 2010–2017 were included. All patients underwent a resting echocardiogram. Cardiac output (CO) was prospectively recorded at baseline by pulsed-wave Doppler examination of the left ventricular outflow tract from the apical window and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was calculated as 80 x (mean arterial pressure (MAP)/CO). Severity of liver disease was characterized by the model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) and Child-Pugh scores.
Results
560 patients were included (mean age 57.5±7.7, 74.8% male). Mean MELD score was 19±7 and Child-Pugh Score was 9±3. There was an inverse linear relationship between the severity of liver disease by the MELD score and baseline SVR (rho 0.40, P<0.001). As SVR reduced, there was also a significant rise in baseline CO with a strong inverse correlation between the two variables (rho 0.86, p<0.001). There was a significant linear correlation between the severity of liver disease and baseline CO with both the scores (MELD Score rho 0.42, p<0.001; Child Pugh rho 0.44, p<0.001) (Figure).
Baseline CO in LT Patients by Severity
Conclusions
Baseline CO increased with the severity of liver dysfunction due to a reduced afterload. A higher resting CO may lead to patients encroaching on their cardiac reserve at rest. This provides a pathophysiological insight suggesting a limited role for beta-blockers, particularly in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inducible left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is not infrequently encountered in liver transplant (LT) candidates undergoing cardiac workup. While the impact of LVOTO on adverse cardiovascular haemodynamics is well reported, it is unclear whether it predisposes to perioperative cardiovascular complications following LT.
Purpose
To investigate the effect of inducible left ventricular outflow tract obstruction on perioperative cardiovascular complications in a modern cohort of liver transplant patients.
Methods
Consecutive patients undergoing dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) were evaluated from a quaternary LT centre between 2010 and 2017. Inducible LVOTO was defined as LVOT gradient ≥36mmHg. Perioperative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 30 days and all-cause death were recorded from a prospectively maintained transplantation database and augmented by electronic medical record review.
Results
We evaluated 560 patients who underwent DSE as part of a workup for LT. Of these, 319 progressed to transplant. Inducible LVOTO was observed in 68 patients (21.3%). A higher baseline cardiac output (7.7 L/min vs 7.0 L/min, p=0.002) predicted for development of inducible LVOTO. Seventy-seven patients (4.1%) experienced a MACE including five deaths, 19 cases of heart failure, 11 cardiac arrests, 10 acute coronary syndromes and 46 cases of arrhythmias (VT/AF). Overall MACE occurred in 17/68 patients (25.0%) with LVOTO and 60/251 patients (23.9%) without LVOTO (p=0.85). However, there was a significantly increased risk of resuscitated perioperative cardiac arrest in patients with LVOTO (7.4% vs 2.4%, p=0.04). Patients with LVOTO also required significantly greater volumes of fluid intra-operatively (8.37L vs. 6.71L, p=0.043).
Cardiac Arrest in LT Patients with LVOTO
Conclusions
Inducible LVOTO is a frequent finding occurring in 21.3% of LT candidates. Despite higher intraoperative fluid resuscitation, LVOTO increased the risk of a perioperative cardiac arrest. Further studies are required to confirm these findings and to assess whether patients with LVOTO undergoing liver transplantation may benefit from heightened perioperative surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association of maternal health literacy (MHL), parenting self-efficacy and early parenting practices among low-income mothers with infants. DESIGN A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design. PARTICIPANTS Low-income mothers (N=186) with infants. METHODS Face-to-face interviews were conducted using English and Spanish versions of questionnaires by trained bilingual research assistants. The Newest Vital Sign (NVS) screening tool was used to measure MHL. RESULTS Nearly three-quarters (72%) of mothers were rated as having low MHL. In the bivariate analysis, MHL was positively correlated with education, household income, language, social support, parenting self-efficacy, and early parenting practices, but negatively correlated with number of children. The study findings demonstrate that parenting self-efficacy had a mediating effect on MHL and early parenting practices among mothers with infants. CONCLUSION Results suggest that future research is needed to advance MHL in low-income mothers and to inform potential HL interventions for this target population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lung cancer remains the single greatest cause of cancer mortality where surgery for early stage non-small cell lung cancer achieves the greatest survival. While there is growing optimism for better outcomes with screening using annual computed tomography, the impact of co-existing airflow limitation on survival remains unknown. To compare survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing surgery stratified according to the presence or absence of pre-surgery airflow limitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We undertook a systematic literature search of non-screen lung cancer that encompassed studies reported between January 1946 and January 2017. Full-text articles were identified following eligibility scoring, with data extracted and analysed using a standardised analytical method (PRISMA). The results of this systematic review in non-screen lung cancers were compared to real-world results from a lung cancer screening cohort (N = 10,054), where outcomes following surgery could be compared after stratification according to pre-surgery airflow limitation. RESULTS In the systematic review, 6899 subjects were included from 10 studies; 7 were retrospective, 3 were prospective. Overall survival was 950 (44%) in 2144 people with COPD and 2597 (55%) from 4755 controls (unadjusted P value <0.001). However, the overall meta-analysed random effects odds ratio for overall survival (N = 10) and 5-year survival (N = 4) comparing those with and without COPD was 0.91 (95% CI = 0.84-1.00) and 0.99 (95% CI = 0.79-1.24) respectively. There were no signs of significant heterogeneity (I2 = 19.1%, P = 0.27) nor publication bias as assessed by funnel plot and Egger's test (P = 0.19). In the lung cancer screening sub-study of 10,054 screening participants we found no difference in 5-year survival in those with and without airflow limitation (84% and 81% respectively, P = 0.64). CONCLUSION Survival after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer is comparable between those with and without spirometry evidence of airflow limitation. This finding was replicated in lung cancer diagnosed during screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the efficacy of a hybrid model of the self-help intervention program (hSHIP), which combines a mobile version of SHIP (mSHIP) and personal coaching, to address unique cultural and motivational factors for optimal self-management of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes among Korean Americans (KAs). METHODS A single-group feasibility study design was used. The hSHIP utilizes texts and motivational counseling based on well-tested intervention content for KAs. To facilitate the dissemination of hSHIP, we developed a web application adopting the principles of persuasive technology to motivate behavior changes. RESULTS Feasibility assessment found that hSHIP was well accepted by both participants and community health workers who delivered the intervention. An average of 1.3% A1C reduction (from 7.8% to 6.5%) was achieved by KAs with diabetes (n = 165), 51.5% of whom lowered their A1C below 6.5% in 6-months. No one with prediabetes (n = 50) progressed to diabetes. Other clinical outcomes (e.g., weight, depression, and blood pressure) also improved significantly; 41.2% were able to reduce or discontinue antidiabetic drugs. CONCLUSION The feasibility and initial efficacy of hSHIP were demonstrated. PRACTICE IMPLICATION This hybrid diabetes self-management model is a viable tool for traditionally underserved groups with diabetes or prediabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excess sodium intake can increase the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, common comorbidities for those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The purpose of this study is to describe sodium intake and high sodium food sources among Korean Americans (KAs) with T2DM. METHOD This study, a descriptive, secondary analysis of baseline data from a clinical trial for diabetes, recruited KAs with T2DM ( n = 232) from the community. RESULTS Average dietary sodium intake was 3,433 mg. Major sources of dietary sodium were from bicultural diets: noodles and dumplings, Korean-style soups, kimchi, breads and snacks, and boiled or seasoned vegetables. Participants who consumed excessive sodium were more likely to consume more calories and be male, married, and more recently diagnosed with T2DM. DISCUSSION High consumption of sodium among KAs with T2DM supports the need to develop effective, tailored interventions addressing dietary sodium that incorporates the individual's culture.
