Importance: Health disparities among racial and ethnic minoritized populations, particularly for cancer mortality rates, remain a major public health concern. Men from underrepresented backgrounds (Black and Hispanic men, specifically) face the pervasive effects of discrimination in their daily lives, which also contribute to the complex associations among allostatic load (a marker of chronic stress), educational opportunities, and elevated risks of cancer mortality.
Objective: To elucidate the associations among educational attainment, allostatic load, and cancer mortality risk among men.
Background: Borealpox virus (BRPV, formerly known as Alaskapox virus) is a zoonotic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus first identified in a person in 2015.

- The study aimed to assess opioid usage and prescribing trends among workers' compensation (WC) patients after foot or ankle surgeries compared to a control group of non-WC patients.
- A total of 118 patients were analyzed, revealing that 67% of WC patients received multiple opioid prescriptions post-surgery, significantly higher than the 39% of non-WC patients.
- The findings suggest that WC patients have greater opioid prescription rates, highlighting the need for physicians to discuss opioid expectations and set safe prescribing limits before surgery.
Background: Preventing anxiety and depression among college students is a pressing public health need. Recent meta-analyses have examined mobile mindfulness interventions in adult populations; however, college students are in a unique developmental stage and institutional setting.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of published and unpublished studies in English language on the acceptability, usage, and efficacy of mindfulness training apps on mental health among non-clinical samples of college students.
Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is zoonotic and capable of infecting many mammal species. However, whether common companion animals are susceptible to MPXV infection is unclear. During July 2022-March 2023, we collected animal and environmental swab samples within homes of confirmed human mpox case-patients and tested for MPXV and human DNA by PCR.
