Gerald Chi, Sahar Memar Montazerin, Jane J. Lee, Syed Hassan A. Kazmi, more

Journal of Medical Virology > 93 > 12 > 6737 - 6749

Chloroquine or its derivative hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) combined with or without azithromycin (AZ) have been widely investigated in observational studies as a treatment option for coronavirus 2019 (COVID‐19) infection. The network meta‐analysis aims to summarize evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine if AZ or HCQ is associated with improved clinical outcomes. PubMed and Embase...

HIV Testing, Risk Behaviors, and Fear: A Comparison of Documented and Undocumented Latino Immigrants

Jane J. Lee, Gary Yu

AIDS and Behavior > 2019 > 23 > 2 > 336-346

Latino immigrants in the United States are at elevated risk for HIV infection and delayed HIV diagnosis. Immigration documentation status and its contribution to fears are important barriers to accessing health services including HIV testing. A currently changing political climate within the United States may have increased the complexity of the intersection of documentation status and health care...

Jane J. Lee

Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health > 2019 > 21 > 4 > 844-852

Immigrants are at increased risk for late HIV testing; however, there is limited understanding of how migration to the United States shapes HIV testing behaviors. This study examined the relationship between the migration process and HIV testing among Latino immigrants. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted in March and April 2017 with 34 Latino immigrants in New York City. Grounded...

Jane J. Lee, Nora Goldschlager, Vaikom S. Mahadevan

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology > 2018 > 52 > 3 > 315-322

Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease in industrialized countries and the most common cause of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for intermediate to high-risk surgical candidates with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Conduction system abnormalities, including...

Longitudinal Associations of Pericardial and Intrathoracic Fat With Progression of Coronary Artery Calcium (from the Framingham Heart Study)

Jane J. Lee, Alison Pedley, Udo Hoffmann, Joseph M. Massaro, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2018 > 121 > 2 > 162-167

Cross-sectional studies have shown that pericardial fat is associated with atherosclerotic burden above and beyond generalized and central adiposity. Whether pericardial fat is longitudinally associated with coronary artery calcium (CAC) has not been firmly established. We examined the associations between cardiac ectopic fat including pericardial and intrathoracic fat with CAC progression and incidence...

The American Journal of Medicine > 2017 > 130 > 8 > 958-966.e1

Upper body subcutaneous fat is a distinct fat depot that may confer increased cardiometabolic risk. We examined the cross-sectional associations between upper body subcutaneous fat volume and cardiometabolic risk factors.Participants were patients from the Framingham Heart Study who underwent multi-detector computed tomography between 2008 and 2011. Sex-specific multivariable-adjusted regression analyses...

Jane J. Lee, Alison Pedley, Ido Weinberg, Kathryn A. Britton, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2017 > 119 > 8 > 1217-1223

Arterial calcification is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To improve the understanding of the pathogenesis involved with iliac artery calcium (IAC), we sought to examine the associations between the burden of IAC with adiposity measures and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Participants (n = 1,236, 52% women, mean age 60 years) were drawn from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring...

Jane J. Lee, Xiaoyan Yin, Udo Hoffmann, Caroline S. Fox, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2016 > 118 > 10 > 1486-1492

Obesity is associated with increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). Different fat depots may have differential associations with cardiac pathology. We examined the longitudinal associations between pericardial, intrathoracic, and visceral fat with incident AF. We studied Framingham Heart Study Offspring and Third-Generation Cohorts who participated in the multidetector computed tomography...

Global perspectives on trace element requirements

Jeanne H. Freeland-Graves, Namrata Sanjeevi, Jane J. Lee

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology > 2015 > 31 > Complete > 135-141

Trace elements are inorganic constituents of the human body present in concentrations less than 50mg/kg body weight. An exception is iron that is found in slightly higher amounts, 60mg/kg body weight, but it is classified within this category due to its physiological roles. Requirements of trace elements can vary according to age, gender, growth, body composition, genetics, pregnancy, lactation, wound...

Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, Jane J. Lee, Leslie M. Kantor, Deborah S. Levine, more

Prevention Science > 2015 > 16 > 1 > 53-60

Research supports the central role of parents in the sexual health behaviors and outcomes of their adolescent children. Too often, parents and adolescents with the greatest sexual health disparities are difficult to reach and engage in preventative interventions. Online and mobile technologies (OMTs) represent an innovative opportunity to reach large numbers of youth and their parents. However, there...

Patients at risk for trace element deficiencies: Bariatric surgery

Jeanne H. Freeland-Graves, Jane J. Lee, Tamara Y. Mousa, Jeremiah J. Elizondo

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology > 2014 > 28 > 4 > 495-503

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic associated with diseases such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Current methods for weight loss are not very effective, particularly for those with morbid obesity. Surgical therapy may be recommended for those with a BMI≥40kg/m ² , or BMI≥35kg/m ² with co-morbidities. This therapy can produce significant weight loss and improve/resolve...

Global multiplicity of dietary standards for trace elements

Jeanne H. Freeland-Graves, Jane J. Lee

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology > 2012 > 26 > 2-3 > 61-65

Consistent guidelines across the world for dietary standards of trace elements remain elusive. Harmonization of dietary standards has been suggested by international agencies to facilitate consistency in food and nutrition policies and international trade. Yet significant barriers exist to standardize recommendations on a global basis, such as vast differences in geography, food availability and transport;...

Clinical Social Work Journal > 2012 > 40 > 2 > 144-156

Latinos are the largest and fastest growing minority youth group in the United States. Currently, Latino adolescents experience higher rates of teen pregnancy compared to any other racial or ethnic group and have disproportionately high levels of sexually transmitted infections and HIV. Latino teens are also affected by a number of social problems such as school dropout, poverty, depression and limited...
