The Benefits of Licensed Midwifery and Community Birth Among BIPOC Birthing People in New Mexico

Birth, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 285-290, June 2025.
Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) families comprise a disproportionately low percentage of home and freestanding birth center births in New Mexico, despite NM Medicaid coverage of care by Licensed Midwives (LMs) in these settings. The purpose of this study was to examine why low income BIPOC seek out LM care, how they benefit from this ...

The Effect of C-Reactive Protein Isoforms on Nitric Oxide Production by U937 Monocytes/Macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Inflammation is regulated by many endogenous factors including estrogen, a steroid hormone that declines with increasing age, leading to excessive inflammation in the elderly. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase inflammatory protein that exists in

Pre‐Percutaneous Coronary Intervention C‐Reactive Protein Levels and In‐Stent Restenosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction C‐reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory biomarker, implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic lesion formation, plaque rupture, and coronary thrombosis. The relationship between preprocedural CRP levels and subsequent development of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) however remains

Role of C-Reactive Protein at Sites of Inflammation and Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute inflammatory protein that increases up to 1,000-fold at sites of infection or inflammation. CRP is produced as a homopentameric protein, termed native CRP (nCRP), which can irreversibly dissociate at sites of ...

Monomeric C-Reactive Protein Binds and Neutralizes Receptor Activator of NF-κB Ligand-Induced Osteoclast Differentiation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an established marker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but with ill-defined actions in the pathogenesis. Here, we show that CRP regulates the differentiation of osteoclasts, a central mediator of joint inflammation and bone ...

A MILP Model and Two‐Stage Heuristic Algorithm for Vehicle‐Assisted Multi‐Drone Inspection Routing Problem

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
This paper presents a novel solution for the vehicle‐assisted multi‐drone inspection routing problem (VAMDIRP) using a mixed‐integer linear programming (MILP) model solvable by GUROBI for small instances and a two‐stage heuristic algorithm for larger cases.

Biomarkers for systemic lupus erythematosus: A scoping review

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Background In recent years, newly discovered potential biomarkers have great research potential in the diagnosis, disease activity prediction, and treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Objective In this study, a scoping review of potential biomarkers for SLE over several years has identified the extent to which studies on biomarkers

C-reactive protein-complement factor H axis as a biomarker of activity in early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration

Frontiers in Immunology
PurposeTo determine and compare the serum levels of complement Factor H (FH), monomeric C-Reactive Protein (mCRP) and pentameric C-Reactive protein (pCRP) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to correlate them with clinical ...

Functionality of C-Reactive Protein for Atheroprotection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentameric molecule made up of identical monomers. CRP can be seen in three different forms: native pentameric CRP (native CRP), non-native pentameric CRP (non-native CRP), and monomeric CRP (mCRP).
