Background: While the National Institutes of Health emphasize integrating sex as a biological variable into research, specific considerations of sex-related differences in pulmonary embolism (PE) mortality trends remain scarce. This study examines sex-based PE mortality trends across regional and demographic groups in the USA from 1999 to 2020.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of National Center for Health Statistics mortality data from 1999 to 2020 was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze student experiences and satisfaction with a healthy snacks program at a university in a food desert over eight months.
- - Out of 51 participating students, most preferred to take snacks in the morning, with high satisfaction reported, especially among stressed individuals, and five key themes emerged from their feedback.
- - The findings suggest a need for further research on the program's long-term impact and the potential to implement similar initiatives at other colleges facing food scarcity.
Article Synopsis
- Research on opioid overdose deaths in New York State from 1999 to 2020 reveals significant increases in mortality, particularly affecting various demographic groups.
- Analysis of data showed a total of 34,109 opioid overdose deaths with an overall annual increase of 12.6% from 2004 to 2020.
- The results indicate urgent need for targeted public health interventions as trends are worsening across age, sex, and geographic areas.
