Can a study that’s not statistically significant be meaningful?
Raymond L Ownby
In ongoing efforts to bring innovation to healthcare, technology and patient self-management are at an important intersection. Our study, "A Mobile App for Chronic Disease Self-Management for Individuals with Low Health Literacy: A Multisite Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial” [1], serves as a potentially useful contribution to this intersection by addressing the challenges faced by older adults with chronic conditions and low health literacy in managing chronic health conditions.

Environmental determinants for protein structuring and amyloid transformation
Roterman I, Stapor K, Dułak D, Konieczny L
Amyloid transformation under laboratory conditions is achieved by shaking an aqueous solution of any protein. The shaking time varies significantly, demonstrating the variable degree of ease of structural transformation in a given protein. The structural specificity that distinguishes amyloid forms from biologically active proteins is the flatness (two-dimensionality) of the form of each chain in the amyloid fibril.

Association between physical function and perceived stress among U.S. Chinese older adults
Ying-Yu Chao, Peijia Zha, Kyeongra Yang, XinQi Dong
Objectives: Physical function impairment can cause great stress to older adults. The purpose of the study is to investigate the association between self-reported and directly-observed physical function on perceived stress among U.S. Chinese older adults.

Impact of sex on premature mortality for elderly patients with early adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or stomach
Elfriede Bollschweiler, Arnulf H Hölscher
Background: In a recent study, it was shown that patients with pT1 adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or stomach have a shorter survival time compared to an age- and gender-matched group from the normal population despite curative therapy. The reasons for the loss of expected life years (YLL) can only be discussed. The aim of the present evaluation is to analyze the influence of the patients' gender on the results.
