(2) Methods: Using information provided by Global Burden of Disease Collaborative Network, Our World in Data and the World Bank, a multidimensional analysis was carried out, comprising four types of statistical models: grouping analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) Bravais-Pearson linear correlation and multivariate regression. (3) Results: The results confirm the hypothesis of significant correlations between the frequency of causes of death, quality of health care and quality of public health infrastructure, validated by incidence with socio-economic indicators.

Objective: This study tested the impact of the Packed Promise intervention on diet quality among low-income children in Chickasaw Nation territory.
Background: The 2010 Child Nutrition reauthorization called for the independent evaluation of innovative strategies to reduce the risk of childhood hunger or improve the food security status of households with children.
Objective: The research question was whether the Packed Promise intervention reduces child food insecurity (FI-C) among low-income households with children.
Design: This study was a cluster randomized controlled trial of 40 school districts and 4,750 eligible, consented households within treatment and control schools.
Article Synopsis
- Neovascular age-related macular degeneration is a major cause of blindness in people over 50, and the ranibizumab biosimilar (SB11) could provide a more accessible treatment option.
- A phase 3 study involving 705 participants was conducted across 75 centers in multiple countries to compare the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SB11 to the reference drug ranibizumab.
- Results showed that the visual acuity and central subfield thickness improvements were similar between the two treatments, indicating that SB11 is a viable alternative to ranibizumab.
