A Pilot Study of Reduced Olfactory Bulb Volume as a Marker of PTSD in Childhood Trauma‐Exposed Adult HIV‐Infected Patients

Evaristus A. Nwulia, Narayan Rai, Kamyar Sartip, Maria Mananita S. Hipolito, more

Journal of Traumatic Stress > 30 > 5 > 537 - 544

Evidence suggests that olfactory bulb (OB), a key structure in odor processing, may also be involved in mechanisms of traumatic stress. In animals, chronic stress reduces OB plasticity, and olfactory bulbectomy results in stress‐enhanced startle reflex and autonomic dysregulation. However, OB morphometry has not been adequately studied in the development of stress disorders following childhood trauma...

Lisa A. Alexander, Maria Rodríguez Muñoz, Deborah F. Perry, Huynh-Nhu Le

Maternal and Child Health Journal > 2014 > 18 > 5 > 1132-1141

Pregnancy represents a unique period of time when women are at an increased risk of developing depression. Although the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) is one of the most widely used self-report measures of depression symptomology, its psychometric properties and underlying factor structures have not been determined for antenatal women and among Latinas. The current study evaluated...

A ratiometric fluorescent probe for sensitive, selective and reversible detection of copper (II) based on riboflavin-stabilized gold nanoclusters

Min Zhang, Huynh-Nhu Le, Xiao-Qin Jiang, Su-Miao Guo, more

Talanta > 2013 > 117 > Complete > 399-404

Most of the copper (II) fluorescent probes are based on the measurement of fluorescence at a single wavelength, which may be influenced by variations in the sample environment. To the end, the ratiometric fluorescent measurement, which involves the simultaneous measurement of two fluorescence signals at different wavelengths followed by calculation of their intensity ratio, can effectively eliminate...

Transforming an Evidence‐Based Intervention to Prevent Perinatal Depression for Low‐Income Latina Immigrants

Huynh‐Nhu Le, Jessika Zmuda, Deborah F. Perry, Ricardo F. Muñoz

American Journal of Orthopsychiatry > 80 > 1 > 34 - 45

There is growing interest in examining the extent to which evidence‐based interventions, found to be efficacious for majority populations, are effective for low‐income, ethnically diverse populations. Yet limited attention has been devoted to documenting the specific steps taken in adapting these interventions to meet the needs of the target ethnic population. This article describes the cultural adaptation...

Laila Hochhausen, Deborah F. Perry, Huynh-Nhu Le

Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health > 2010 > 12 > 5 > 806-809

Years in the US is often used as a proxy for acculturation, and level of acculturation may be an important predictor of differential health outcomes for immigrants. Some studies have examined the interaction between community level factors and acculturation, but not among Latinos. Level of acculturation and neighborhood concentration of Latinos was assessed in a sample of 194 Spanish-speaking, immigrant,...
