Low-dose aspirin and racial disparities in spontaneous preterm delivery in low-risk individuals.

Background: Preterm birth is a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. There are significant racial disparities in the rates of preterm delivery in the United States, with Black individuals at disproportionately higher risk than their White counterparts. Although low-dose aspirin is currently under investigation for reducing the rates of preterm delivery, limited data are available on how the use of low-dose aspirin might affect racial and ethnic disparities in the rates of preterm delivery.

Neuroimaging biomarkers of cognitive recovery after ischemic stroke.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment affects more than one-third of patients after an ischemic stroke (IS). Identifying markers of potential cognitive recovery after ischemic stroke can guide patients' selection for treatments, enrollment in clinical trials, and cognitive rehabilitation methods to restore cognitive abilities in post-stroke patients. Despite the burden of post-stroke cognitive impairment, biomarkers of cognitive recovery are an understudied area of research.
