This dataset measures the traction performance of five shoes subjected to mechanical wear in order to examine the reduced efficacy of slip-resistant shoes as they become worn. Key measurements include the coefficient of friction and under-shoe fluid pressures at baseline and after each worn iteration and the worn region size of each size; calculations include the peak fluid pressure and the fluid force....
Clinodactyly can be broadly defined as curvature of the finger(s) occurring distal to the metacarpophalangeal joint(s). The most common form of clinodactyly involves a radial curvature of the fifth finger. This dataset provides measured fifth finger curvature (left and right) in a sample of 1,295 U.S. adults recruited from the Western Pennsylvania region as part of two large epidemiological studies...
With an emphasis on reaching historically underrepresented populations, the datasets from the All of Us Research Program include: Electronic health records (OMOP CDM used to standardize all EHR data) Biosamples (blood, urine, and saliva) Mobile health data (from wearable devices that may track biometric data like heart rate and blood pressure) Physical measurements (height, weight, BMI,...
From the authors: This dataset contains gastric myoelectric activity recorded from multi-electrode arrays, surgically implanted on the serosal surface of the GI tract to study perturbations due to mechanical or chemical stimuli in acute and chronic preparations of ferrets. This dataset comprises 20,315 myoelectric waveform files recording nausea and emesis in ferrets (Mustela putorius). The dataset...
The authors measured cervical spine kinematics of patients before and after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery. From the Biodynamics Laboratory website: This NIH-funded prospective study aims to identify the factors that have the greatest effect on adjacent segment mechanics after cervical fusion. A total of 88 anterior cervical fusion patients will be tested prior to surgery, and 1 and...
This dataset contains twelve high throughput sequenced gene expression profiles of mycobacterium smegmatis infected with (1) mycobacteriophage D29 at 15min, 30min, 60min, and 150min, (2) mycobacteriophage StarStuff itself and at 15min, 30min, 60min, and 150min, and (3) mycobacteriophage L5 itself and at 30min and 150 min. Total RNA was isolated, depleted of rRNA, and library prepped.
This dataset contains slip-test data from 57 adult participants in a study examining the relationship between shoe outsole tread wear and occurrences of slipping. Participants wore their own shoes in a test environment where they encountered an unexpected slip condition, with data recorded by embedded force plates. Measurements include the shoe worn region size, available coefficient of friction (ACOF),...
Examination of effect of Relaxin (RLX) treatment on young (9-month) and aged (24-month) rats to test the hypothesis that RLX acts at a genomic level to reverse maladaptive remodeling in aging and heart failure. Treatment was 0.4 mg/kg/day RLX for 2-weeks delivered by subcutaneous osmotic mini-pumps or with sodium acetate (controls). There are twenty-one NCBI GEO records, 4 female and 3 male each...
This study used nine different normalization methods to derive housekeeping genes from a RNA-seq data set of 47,611 transcripts derived from 30 biopsies. The biopsies were collected in a variety of clinical settings, with 5 replicates each: normal function, acute tubular injury, acute rejection, interstitial nephritis, interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy, and polyomavirus nephropathy. Transcripts...
This dataset was generated from a cross sectional survey of 4142 US adults age 18 and older and includes demographics, 7 Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) domains with 2 items each, PROMIS-preference (PROPr) score, self-rated health (SRH), 30 social determinants of health (SDoH), and 12 chronic medical conditions. The survey was offered in English and Spanish, both...
