Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination can dramatically reduce the incidence of HPV-associated cancers. However, HPV vaccination coverage in rural areas is lower than in urban areas, and overall HPV vaccination coverage in the United States remains lower than other adolescent vaccines. We conducted 20 qualitative interviews with adolescent healthcare providers and clinic staff in urban and rural Minnesota and assessed their perspectives on HPV vaccination.

- Previous research hinted that COVID-19 severity might be lower at high altitudes, but this study investigates the relationship while accounting for factors like population density and healthcare access in Peru.
- The analysis covered 196 provinces at different altitudes up to 4,373 meters during the first wave of COVID-19, focusing on total mortality rates and their variations.
- Results show no clear trend linking higher altitude with lower COVID-19 mortality, indicating that residing at high altitude does not necessarily reduce the risk of death from the virus.
Vestibular-multisensory interactions are essential for self-motion, navigation and postural stability. Despite evidence suggesting shared brain areas between vestibular and somatosensory inputs, no study has yet investigated whether somatosensory information influences vestibular perception. Here, we used signal detection methods to identify whether somatosensory stimulation might interact with vestibular events in a vestibular detection task.
