In 2009, Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) published Common Community Measures Obesity (COCOMO), which include recommended strategies measures to guide communities in identifying evaluating environmental policy prevent obesity.
Community mitigation strategies could help reduce COVID-19 incidence, but there are few studies that explore associations nationally and by urbanicity.

Abstract α 1 ‐Adrenergic receptor binding sites and norepinephrine‐stimulated 3 H‐inositol phosphate ( H‐InsP) accumulation were measured in primary cultures of neurons glia from 1‐day‐old rat brains. The density ‐adrenergic was ˜three times higher membranes compared to glia. Although norepinephrine slightly more potent stimulating H‐InsP formation than glia, the maximal response greater glial cells. Norepinephrine‐stimulated remained constant for [ H]inositol prelabelling periods 1–14 days...
Approximately 800 000 strokes occur annually in the United States.

Introduction: Stroke systems of care (SSOC) laws have been adopted across the US as early 2002 to improve access time- sensitive, life-saving treatments and for stroke patients. However, impact these on delivery patient outcomes remains largely unknown. The study goal was determine whether policy interventions are associated with improved by examining SSOC implemented states. Methods: We developed a surveillance dataset 50 states D.C. in effect at any time from 2002-2018. A stakeholder group...
