Importance Studies have suggested that greater primary care physician (PCP) availability is associated with better population health and a diverse workforce can improve experience measures. However, it unclear whether Black representation within the PCP improved outcomes among individuals. Objective To assess county-level its association mortality-related in US. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study evaluated of survival at 3 time points (from January 1 to December 31 each 2009,...
Abstract In 2021, the American Cancer Society published its first biennial report on status of cancer disparities in United States. this second report, authors provide updated data racial, ethnic, socioeconomic (educational attainment as a marker), and geographic (metropolitan status) occurrence outcomes contributing factors to these country. The also review programs that have reduced policy recommendations further mitigate inequalities. There are substantial variations risk factors, stage...
Sodium-dependent uptake of bile acids across the hepatic basolateral membrane is rapidly and profoundly diminished during sepsis, thus contributing to pathogenesis sepsis-associated cholestasis. This effect mediated by endotoxin or effector cytokines, which reduce expression several hepatobiliary transporters, including sodium-dependent acid transporter gene, ntcp. We test here hypothesis that treatment leads impaired binding activity ntcp promoter trans-acting factors, resulting in...
Before the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion, nonelderly childless adults were not generally eligible for regardless of their income, and Hispanics had much higher uninsured rates than other racial/ethnic subgroups. We estimated difference-in-differences models on Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance data (2011-2016) to estimate impacts expansion disparities in insurance coverage, access care, health status this vulnerable subpopulation. Uninsured among all poor declined by roughly 9...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential use a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma system improve microbial safety sliced cheese. atmospheric pressure (APP) effect on visual appearance and sensory evaluation were also carried out. number Escherichia coli inoculated cheese slices decreased by 0.09, 0.47, 1.16 1.47 log cycles with helium (4 liters/min [lpm]) 0.05, 0.87, 1.89 1.98 He/<TEX>$O_2$</TEX> mixture lpm/15 standard cubic centimeters per minute), after being...
Socioeconomic disparities in life expectancy the United States (US) are marked and have widened over time. However, there is limited research using individual-level socioeconomic variables as such information generally lacking or unreliable vital records used for table construction. Using longitudinal cohort data, we computed US adults by social determinants education, income/poverty level, occupation, housing tenure.We analyzed 1997-2014 National Health Interview Survey prospectively linked...
Background and Objective Limited research exists on health inequities between American Indians Alaska Natives (AIANs), tribal communities, other population groups in the United States. To address this gap research, we conducted time-trend analyses of social determinants disease outcomes for AIANs as a whole specific communities compared them with those from major racial/ethnic groups. Methods We used data 1990–2022 National Vital Statistics System, 2015–2022 Community Survey, 2018–2020...
Background: Research has shown a dramatic increase in telehealth utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic and marked socioeconomic disparities utilization. However, previous studies have discrepant findings on association between state's payment parity laws utilization, dearth of differential impact by subgroups. Methods: Using nationally representative Household Pulse Survey from April 2021 to August 2022 logistic regression modeling, we estimated overall, video, phone related race ethncity...
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel topical cyclosporin A 0.05% nanoemulsion in comparison with conventional emulsion primary Sjögren's syndrome dry eyes.Methods: Prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was conducted.Results: Corneal conjunctival staining score improved both groups, faster change noted group at 12 weeks (p < 0.05). Tear film break-up time significantly 0.05), while ocular surface disease index groups without difference weeks. Schirmer I value goblet...
Abstract Background/Purpose Psychological distress can influence cancer mortality through socioeconomic disadvantage, health-risk behaviors, or reduced access to care. These disadvantages result in higher risks of occurrence, a delayed diagnosis, hamper adherence treatment, and provoke inflammatory responses leading cancer. Previous studies have linked psychological mortality. However, are lacking for the U.S. population. Methods This study examines Kessler six-item scale as risk factor...
Tobacco smoking is a major public health concern worldwide. This study aimed to assess its impact on cancer incidence and mortality by estimating the population attributable fraction (PAF) in Korean for 2015 2020 projecting future trends until 2030. The relative risk (RR) was calculated via meta-analysis of RRs individual cancers attributed tobacco smoking, based primary data analysis from Cohort Consortium. PAF estimated using Levin formula with past current prevalence rates number cases...
This study aimed to determine the population-attributable fractions (PAFs) of cancers using various calculation methods and estimate PAFs cancer incidence mortality resulting from deficit in physical activity (DPA) 2015 2030, based on data prevalence rates. The PAF was estimated a cohort study-based meta-analysis relative risk (RR), national rates DPA 2000 2015, statistics with latency 15 years. In contributed 909 cases 548 deaths, accounting for 0.42% 0.68% new respectively. By values are...
Alcohol consumption is causally linked to several cancers, and major health organizations classify it as a carcinogen. This study assessed the impact of alcohol on cancer incidence mortality in Korea 2015 2020, projected trends up 2030, compared results based different criteria. The relative risk associated with was determined through meta-analysis alcohol-related risks for specific using primary data from Korean Cohort Study within Consortium. population-attributable fraction (PAF)...
Abstract Background: Although National Comprehensive Cancer Network provides the standardized guideline for mental health screening and treatment during cancer care, care has been still underutilized among survivors. survivors may experience stress issues many reasons, including unexpected diagnosis; treatment; fear of reoccurrence premature death. Access to is critical improve their quality life avoid unnecessary costs due illness. previous research shown racial ethnic inequities in...

Since 2014, 32 states implemented Medicaid expansion by removing the categorical criteria for childless adults and expanding income eligibility to 138% of federal poverty level (FPL) all non-elderly adults. Previous studies found that Affordable Care Act (ACA) improved rates being insured, unmet needs care due cost, number physician visits, health status among low-income However, a few recent focused on expansion’s effect racial/ethnic disparities used National Academy Medicine (NAM)...

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial adverse impact on the health and well-being of populations in United States (US) globally. Although vaccine disparities among US adults aged ≥18 years are well documented, vaccination inequalities children not studied.

Abstract Introduction Community health centers (CHCs) provide historically marginalized populations with primary care, including cancer screening. Previous studies have reported that women living in rural areas are less likely to be up date cervical screening than urban areas. However, little is known about rural–urban differences CHCs and the contributing factors, whether such changed during COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods Using 8‐year pooled Uniform Data System (2014‐2021) data Oaxaca‐Blinder...
