Article Synopsis
- The research highlights significant racial and ethnic disparities in excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing a concerning trend concerning minoritized populations who faced greater mortality rates compared to pre-pandemic disparities.!* -
- A comprehensive analysis of over 10.6 million death certificates from March 2020 to May 2023 indicated that more than 1.38 million excess deaths occurred, representing around 23 million years of potential life lost.!* -
- The findings emphasize the need for further investigation into the age-specific impact of COVID-19 on various racial and ethnic groups to better understand and address these health disparities moving forward.!*
Importance: First-line treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), ie, trauma-focused therapy, while effective, is limited by low treatment initiation, high dropout, and high treatment refraction.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) vs first-line cognitive processing therapy (CPT) in women veterans with PTSD related to military sexual trauma (MST) and the hypothesis that PTSD outcomes would differ between the interventions.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multisite randomized clinical trial was conducted from December 1, 2015, to April 30, 2022, within 2 VA health care systems located in the southeast and northwest.
Importance: Amid efforts in the US to promote health equity, there is a need to assess recent progress in reducing excess deaths and years of potential life lost among the Black population compared with the White population.
Objective: To evaluate trends in excess mortality and years of potential life lost among the Black population compared with the White population.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Serial cross-sectional study using US national data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1999 through 2020.
Providing care over telehealth grew slowly until the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing mental health care was readily adapted to virtual means; however, clinical trial research is nascent in adapting methods and procedures to the virtual world. We present protocol modifications to pivot a multisite randomized controlled trial study, conducted at Southeastern and Pacific Northwestern Veterans Affairs Health Care Systems, from being conducted in-person to virtually, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, biodistribution, dosimetry, and lesion uptake of F-FP-R1-MG-F2 in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Methods: Fifteen patients (6 men, 9 women) with histologically confirmed pancreatic cancer were prospectively enrolled and underwent knottin PET/CT between March 2017 and February 2021 (ClinicalTrials.
