For patients enrolled in the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS), surgery was recommended for 46.5 per cent of Blacks and 59.4 Whites, despite similar clinical angiographic characteristics. Of those recommended, 80.5 90.4 Whites had bypass surgery. These differences were most apparent Black laborers. Overall, only 38.0 coronary artery surgery, whereas 58.4 received

Anemia is a significant public health problem in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with young children being especially vulnerable. Iron deficiency leading cause of anemia prior studies have shown associations between low iron status/iron poor child development outcomes. In LMICs, 43% under the age five years are at risk not meeting their developmental potential. However, few examined status early childhood (ECD) large population-based surveys. We severe or moderate ECD domains...

<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Objective:</h3> Early breastfeeding has numerous benefits for both the mother and her baby. Previous research typically analyzes initiation in binary terms (within first hour or day). Although delays are associated with cesarean delivery skin-to-skin contact may facilitate early breastfeeding, a more nuanced understanding of these relationships is needed. <h3>Methods:</h3> With data from 31 countries that had Demographic Health Survey since 2015, we described among...
