Aims: Bariatric surgery (BS) is a potential treatment option for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and obesity. These patients are also at substantial risk of developing cardiovascular events and associated mortality. We aimed to assess if BS could reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality and improve long-term survival.

- The study aimed to find environmental features linked to higher rates of drug-related fatalities and created a risk score based on these features.
- Researchers analyzed overdose data from St. Louis County, using Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) to determine how proximity to various places affected overdose risk, separating data by drug type and race of decedents.
- Key findings revealed that fatalities were notably higher near hotels/motels, foreclosures, and restaurants, with specific patterns differing by race, suggesting that certain built environments reflect social conditions that contribute to overdose risk.
Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from a trial in rural Bangladesh to see how temperature and rainfall affected the success of WASH interventions in reducing child diarrhea between 2012 and 2016.
- * Results showed that WASH interventions significantly reduced diarrhea during the monsoon, especially after heavy rain and high temperatures, with varying effectiveness based on the type of intervention used.
Objectives: There have been conflicting reports concerning an increased risk of pancreatic cancer (PC) in new users of glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1As). We aimed to explore whether the use of GLP-1A is associated with an increased risk of PC.
Methods: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted using TriNetX.
Understanding the Impact of Contemporary Racism on the Mental Health of Middle Class Black Americans.

Why do Black-White health inequities persist, even when controlling for SES? It is critical to examine how perceptions of unfair treatment, especially those that are nuanced and subtle, affect the mental health of Black Americans with greater levels of SES. This study, using a new sample composed exclusively of college-educated Black Americans, investigated whether experiences related to racism were associated with poorer mental health.
