AGE-RELATED DIFFERENCES IN THE MOVEMENT PATTERNS OF ADOLESCENTS 11, 14, AND 17 YEARS OF AGE RISING TO STANDING FROM SUPINE ON A BED

The purposes of this study were to determine: 1) if movement patterns (MP5) described for young adults rising from bed depict adolescents\u27 MP5, 2) if there are age-related differences in MP5 adolescents use to perform this task, 3) most common MP combinations (MCMPCs) of each age group, and 4) if individuals are likely to progress through proposed sequences in the same order. Sixty 11-, 14-, or 17-year-olds were videotaped during 10 trials of rising. MP5 demonstrated in each of four body regions were classified, and MP frequencies and MCMPCs were determined. One new near arm MP was observed. Age-related MP differences were present in each region. The MCMPCs observed in 11-, 14-, and 17- year-olds were described. One MP combination was common across all groups. Subjects varied among MP5 that were not proposed to be adjacent developmental steps. MP categories developed to describe adults\u27 movements can be used to describe adolescents\u27 movements. MP5 used by adolescents getting out of bed differ with age. Therapists can select age-appropriate MPs when teaching this activity

The Griffin

In mythology and folklore the griffin is half lion, half eagle. Legends tell of it\u27s exceptional power-as the lion is viewed as the king of the beasts, and the eagle the king of the birds. O\u27Neil\u27s charming poetry and illustrations, printed at the University of North Dakota, tell a story of a griffin and its human family as they attempt to find out his origin. The Griffin was created as part of the Sundog Multiples program, a printmaking venture created by Art & Design Professor Kim Fink, in conjugation with UND Art Collections, and generously funded by the Myers Foundation.

The O\u27Neil Dairy Farm

Jeanne O’Neil of East Grand Forks, Minnesota, began her artistic career in the 1970s painting murals in her native state, Iowa, but later turned to printmaking and illustrating children’s books. In addition, she and her husband, Tom O’Neil, have established reputations as performers of traditional and southern old-time music. O’Neil’s print may be described as a “portrait” of a place. Stylistically, it is a highly descriptive and factual (rather than emotionally expressive) rendering of a farm in Iowa that her husband’s grandfather founded. When the print was made, however, the farm was no longer owed by the O’Neil family.https://commons.und.edu/lam-all/1300/thumbnail.jp

Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevalence among Women at Risk for HIV Exposure Initiating Safer Conception Care in Rural, Southwestern Uganda

Background Knowledge of sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence and risk factors is important to the development of tenofovir-based preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and safer conception programming. We introduced STI screening among women at risk for HIV exposure who were participating in a safer conception study in southwestern Uganda. Methods We enrolled 131 HIV-uninfected women, planning for pregnancy with a partner living with HIV or of unknown HIV serostatus (2018-2019). Women were offered comprehensive safer conception counseling, including PrEP. Participants completed interviewer-administered questionnaires detailing sociodemographics and sexual history. We integrated laboratory screening for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis as a substudy to assess STI prevalence. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine correlates. Results Ninety-four women completed STI screening (72% of enrolled). Median age was 30 (interquartile range, 26-34) years, and 94% chose PrEP as part of safer conception care. Overall, 24% had STIs: 13% chlamydia, 2% gonorrhea, 6% trichomoniasis, 6% syphilis, and 3% ≥2 STI. Sexually transmitted infection prevalence was associated with younger age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77-0.99), prior stillbirth (AOR, 5.04; 95% CI, 1.12-22.54), and not feeling vulnerable to HIV (AOR, 16.33; 95% CI, 1.12-237.94). Conclusions We describe a 24% curable STI prevalence among women at risk for HIV exposure who were planning for pregnancy. These data highlight the importance of integrating laboratory-based STI screening into safer conception programs to maximize the health of HIV-affected women, children, and families
