Article Synopsis
  • Early disparities in COVID-19 vaccination rates among racial groups have often been attributed to individual attitudes towards vaccines, but there may be deeper issues related to how vaccines were distributed.
  • A study analyzed shipping data for over 385,000 doses in Pennsylvania's initial vaccine rollout and found that predominantly White neighborhoods received 81.4% more vaccine doses than Black neighborhoods.
  • The results suggest that the distribution practices of pharmacy chains, rather than state or federal decisions, contributed significantly to this inequitable access, highlighting the need for regulation and monitoring of how public health resources are allocated.

Background: Andrews' analysis is a commonly utilized instrument to aid in esthetic positioning of the anteroposterior position of the maxillomandibular complex; however, there is limited data regarding use in non-Caucasian subjects.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to document laypersons preferences of anteroposterior position of the maxillomandibular complex in relation to Andrews' lateral profile analysis in African American (AA) and Caucasian subjects.

Study Design, Setting, Sample: A cross-sectional study was implemented to evaluate the esthetics of AA and Caucasian subjects.

Purpose: Understanding how early adaptive schemas, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation influence eating disorder (ED) symptoms, and whether this differs across diagnostic subtypes is critical to optimising treatment. The current study investigated the relationship between these variables and ED symptomology in individuals self-reporting an ED diagnosis and healthy controls.

Methods: A dataset of 1576 online survey responses yielded subsamples for anorexia nervosa (n = 155), bulimia nervosa (n = 55), binge eating disorder (n = 33), other specified feeding or eating disorder (n = 93), and healthy participants (n = 505).

The human gut microbiota influences its host via multiple molecular pathways, including immune system interactions, the provision of nutrients and regulation of host physiology. Dietary fibre plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy microbiota as its primary nutrient and energy source. Industrialisation has led to a massive decrease of habitual fibre intake in recent times, and fibre intakes across the world are below the national recommendations.
