Article Synopsis
- High maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the U.S. disproportionately affect Black birthing individuals, who are two to three times more likely to face pregnancy-related deaths compared to others.
- There is a need for continued discussions to improve care delivery and address the psychological harm experienced by marginalized groups during pregnancy.
- The commentary emphasizes the importance of engaging patients in changing harmful clinical and research practices to create a safer and more equitable maternal health system.
Understanding the Health Care Needs of the Deaf Community Through Medical Interpreters.

For approximately 500,000 Deaf people in the United States who use American Sign Language (ASL), accessing quality health care is challenging.1 Deaf people are more likely to have been admitted to a hospital in the past 12 months and have a history of chronic illness (e.g.

The basic objective was to optimize the oil yield and the tocopherol concentration. A Box/Behnken experimental design was developed with three processing variables: supercritical pressure (74, 187, and 300 bar), temperature (35, 48, and 60 °C), and extracting time (30, 135, and 240 min).

In this sense, the objective was to study the inactivation of microorganisms with encapsulated cinnamaldehyde and vanillin (E-CIN and E-VN), in comparison with the unencapsulated antimicrobials (CIN and VN) in protein beverages. Additionally, the microbial response was quantified through mathematical modeling.

The extraction temperature and pressure were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM) and the extraction kinetics were optimized using the Spline equation.
