    Notes: Abstract: Energy deficit after traumatic brain injury (TBI) may alter ionic homeostasis, neurotransmission, biosynthesis, and cellular transport. Using an in vitro model for TBI, we tested the hypothesis that stretch-induced injury alters mitochondrial membrane potential (Δ?m) and ATP in astrocytes and neurons. Astrocytes, pure neuronal cultures, and mixed neuronal plus glial cultures grown on Silastic membranes were subjected to mild, moderate, and severe stretch. After injury, Δ?m was measured using rhodamine-123, and ATP was quantified with a luciferin-luciferase assay. In astrocytes, Δ?m dropped significantly, and ATP content declined 43-52% 15 min after mild or moderate stretch but recovered by 24 h. In pure neurons, Δ?m declined at 15 min only in the severely stretched group. At 48 h postinjury, Δ?m remained decreased in severely stretched neurons and dropped in moderately stretched neurons. Intracellular ATP content did not change in any group of injured pure neurons. We also found that astrocytes and neurons release ATP extracellularly following injury. In contrast to pure neurons, Δ?m in neurons of mixed neuronal plus glial cultures declined 15 min after mild, moderate, or severe stretch and recovered by 24-48 h. ATP content in mixed cultures declined 22-28% after mild to severe stretch with recovery by 24 h. Our findings demonstrate that injury causes mitochondrial dysfunction in astrocytes and suggest that astrocyte injury alters mitochondrial function in local neurons.

    Notes: An understanding of perceived barriers to health-care is critical to improving healthcare access for all Americans. To determine perceived barriers to health-care in an urban poor population in Dayton, Ohio, a face-to-face door-to-door survey of individuals identified through targeted, stratified, area probability sampling was done. A sample of 413 non-elderly poor adults, including 19% without telephones, reported personal relevance of various barriers to healthcare access. Most frequently endorsed barriers were lack of information about free or reduced-cost health-care, anticipated cost, and difficulty accessing child-care. Seventy-four per cent of respondents reported more than one barrier. Individuals without telephones and those without health insurance reported more barriers to health-care. Reported barriers were similar for working and non-working poor, except for transportation problems, more frequently reported by non-working respondents. This study provides important data on what poor people in a medically underserved community perceive to be barriers to accessing health-care and underscores the importance of including people without telephones in the study design. Respondents who did not have telephones were more likely to report multiple barriers, particularly problems with lack of information about free or discounted medical care, child-care, and transportation. These findings suggest the importance of door-to-door surveys rather than telephone surveys for getting accurate data on the poor.

    Notes: Abstract One of the fastest growing immigrant groups in the United States is from the Indian subcontinent of South Asia. Included in this group are people from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Although there is considerable heterogeneity within and between the populations of these countries, cultural similarities contribute to common challenges when South Asian immigrants are seen in primary care settings in the United States. This article describes aspects of the South Asian culture and of the acculturation process relevant to establishing rapport and providing competent biopsychosocial care to individuals and families from this region. We discuss the differing needs of recent immigrants, second-generation Americans from South Asia, and individuals temporarily in the United States for study or employment. We discuss linguistic and interpersonal style concerns in regard to the relationship between health care professionals and immigrant patients and use case material to illustrate cultural issues. We conclude with suggestions for culturally sensitive health care of South Asians.
