American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Children's Body Mass Index: Diminished Returns of Parental Education and Family Income.

Research in health science

Assari S.
PMID: 34308086
Res Health Sci. 2020;5(1):64-84. doi: 10.22158/rhs.v5n1p64. Epub 2020 Nov 24.

BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with several health-related outcomes, such as obesity and body mass index (BMI). However, we do not know whether SES is associated differently with children's BMI from American Indian and Alaska Native and Native...

Stressful Life Events and Obesity in the United States: The Role of Nativity and Length of Residence.

American journal of health promotion : AJHP

Cuevas AG, Stanton MV, Carvalho K, Eckert N, Ortiz K, Assari S, Ransome Y.
PMID: 34308654
Am J Health Promot. 2022 Jan;36(1):190-193. doi: 10.1177/08901171211034410. Epub 2021 Jul 26.

PURPOSE: Obesity is a public health issue in the United States (US), that disproportionately affects marginalized group members. Stressful life events (SLE) have been implicated as an obesogenic risk factor. However, there is scant research examining of the role...

Update on chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention.

Progress in cardiovascular diseases

Assali M, Buda KG, Megaly M, Hall AB, Burke MN, Brilakis ES.
PMID: 34826426
Prog Cardiovasc Dis. 2021 Nov 23; doi: 10.1016/j.pcad.2021.11.004. Epub 2021 Nov 23.

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) can be challenging to perform. The main indication for CTO PCI is to improve symptoms. Several contemporary studies have reported high CTO PCI success rates at experienced centers but success rates...

Educational mobility and telomere length in middle-aged and older adults: testing three alternative hypotheses.

Biodemography and social biology

Cuevas AG, Greatorex-Voith S, Abuelezam N, Eckert N, Assari S.
PMID: 34583600
Biodemography Soc Biol. 2020 Jul-Sep;66(3):220-235. doi: 10.1080/19485565.2021.1983760. Epub 2021 Sep 28.

Critical period, social mobility, and social accumulation are three hypotheses that may explain how educational mobility impacts health. Thus far, there is little evidence on how these processes are associated with biological aging as measured by telomere length. Using...

Synthesis of rutin derivatives to enhance lipid solubility and development of topical formulation with a validated analytical method.

Current drug delivery

Abualhasan M, Assali M, Mahmoud A, Zaid AN, Malkieh N.
PMID: 34931961
Curr Drug Deliv. 2021 Dec 20; doi: 10.2174/1567201819666211220162535. Epub 2021 Dec 20.

BACKGROUND: Rutin is available on the market as a topical formulation for the treatment of several conditions, such as internal bleeding, hemorrhoids, and varicose veins. However, these gels have low solubility and limited bioavailability due to their decreased lipid...

Atomic Pathways of Solute Segregation in the Vicinity of Nanoscale Defects.

Nano letters

Mukherjee S, Assali S, Moutanabbir O.
PMID: 34797681
Nano Lett. 2021 Dec 08;21(23):9882-9888. doi: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.1c02577. Epub 2021 Nov 19.

Using GeSn semiconductor as a model system, this work unravels the atomic-level details of the behavior of solutes in the vicinity of a dislocation prior to surface segregation in strained, metastable thin layers. The dislocations appear in the 3D...

Age-Related Decline in Children's Reward Sensitivity: Blacks' Diminished Returns.

Research in health science

Assari S.
PMID: 33274304
Res Health Sci. 2020;5(3):112-128. doi: 10.22158/rhs.v5n3p112. Epub 2020 Nov 06.

BACKGROUND: It is important to study the correlates of reward sensitivity since it predicts high-risk behaviors. While ageing reduces children's reward sensitivity and its associated risk taking, there is more to find out about racial differences in regard to...

Family's Subjective Economic Status and Children's Matrix Reasoning: Blacks' Diminished Returns.

Research in health science

Assari S, Boyce S.
PMID: 33299959
Res Health Sci. 2021 Nov 29;6(1):1-23. doi: 10.22158/rhs.v6n1p1. Epub 2020 Nov 29.

BACKGROUND: Due to a pattern known as Marginalization-related Diminished Returns (MDRs), historically oppressed non-Hispanic Black Americans show weaker effects of economic status on health and development, when compared to socially privileged non-Hispanic White Americans. Such MDRs are also documented...

American Children's Screen Time: Diminished Returns of Household Income in Black Families.

Information (Basel)

Assari S.
PMID: 33282415
Information (Basel). 2020 Nov;11(11). doi: 10.3390/info11110538. Epub 2020 Nov 20.

While increased household income is associated with overall decreased screen time for children, less is known about the effect of racial variation on this association. According to Minorities' Diminished Returns (MDRs) theory, family income and other economic resources show...

Stronger Association between Nucleus Accumbens Density and Body Mass Index in Low-Income and African American Children.

Research in health science

Assari S.
PMID: 33294757
Res Health Sci. 2020;5(2):107-120. doi: 10.22158/rhs.v5n2p107. Epub 2020 Nov 21.

BACKGROUND: The nucleus accumbens' (NAc) size, function, and density influence individuals' body mass index (BMI). However, little is known about racial and socioeconomic status (SES) differences in the role of NAc density as a predictor of childhood BMI.OBJECTIVES: We...
