Herbicides are among the most commonly found contaminants in freshwater ecosystems. Standard tests are frequently employed to assess their ecotoxicological impacts, but sublethal endpoints in non-target species are often not considered. In addition, ecotoxicological investigations rarely take into account that many species from field populations are naturally infected with parasites.

Materials And Methods: The Rhode Island Quality Institute operates the Rhode Island (RI) statewide HIE, which aggregates RI health data for more than half of the state's population from 47 data partners. We standardized HIE data to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) CDM.
An Intersectional Approach to Cervical Cancer Screening Disparities by Race/Ethnicity and Immigrant Status.
J Womens Health (Larchmt)
October 2024
Disparities in cervical cancer (CC) screening exist within racial/ethnic minority and immigrant groups. However, few studies have explored the joint influence of race/ethnicity and immigrant status on screening, and the disparities that have been identified by existing studies remain incompletely explained. This study aims to identify the joint influence of race/ethnicity and immigrant status on CC screening and elucidate the barriers contributing to identified disparities.

- - Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer originating from the smooth muscle of the uterus, making up only 2-5% of uterine cancers, often requiring surgery for treatment.
- - A 56-year-old woman from East India presented with severe abdominal pain and a rapidly growing mass, leading to her diagnosis after a CT scan showed a large irregular tumor, with elevated CA 125 and LDH levels.
- - Following a primary surgery that confirmed the diagnosis, she underwent six cycles of chemotherapy to prevent recurrence, with successful follow-up showing no signs of the cancer returning over two years.
The gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (HS) play important roles not only in maintaining physiological functions, but also in pathological conditions and events. Importantly, these molecules show a complex interplay in cancer biology, demonstrating both tumor-promoting and anti-tumor activities depending on their concentration, flux, and the environmental redox state. Additionally, various cell types respond differently to NO and HS.
