"Barriers and Facilitators to Stool-Based Screening for Colorectal Cancer Among Black Louisville Residents", Aaron Kruse-Diehr is first-author and Jerod Stapleton is co-author.
Abstract:
Knowledge of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening options remains suboptimal in Black populations, contributing to screening disparities. Guided by community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles, we partnered with five Black churches in Louisville, a region of Kentucky with high Black-white CRC screening disparities, to explore screening barriers and facilitators for CRC education and outreach.
"Differentially Methylated DNA Regions and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in African Americans: A HyperGEN Study," Steve Claas (BST) is a co-author.
Abstract:
Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and African Americans experience a disparate high risk of LVH. Genetic studies have identified potential candidate genes and variants related to the condition. Epigenetic modifications may continue to help unravel disease mechanisms.
