This ethnographic study explored 20 southern rural Black women's thoughts about and practices of exercise. Qualitative analysis revealed four factors: (a) exercise and the heart, (b) barriers to exercise, (c) reasons to exercise, and (d) taking action. Findings may assist clinicians and researchers to develop prevention interventions for this population.

Objective: Discrimination is a social determinant contributing to health inequities in the United States (US). This study investigated the prevalence of, and sociodemographic disparities in, perceived everyday discrimination among a national sample of US adults.
Methods: We used data from the 2023 National Health Interview Survey ( = 27,538) and estimated the prevalence of three perceived everyday discrimination outcomes (1) any discrimination, (2) unique components of the discrimination experience, and (3) the Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS) (range: 0-20) overall and by age, sex assigned at birth, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, educational attainment, income-to-poverty ratio, and urban-rural status.
Introduction: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is often encountered among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) due to the use of anticoagulation. This study assesses disparities in GIB-related mortality among decedents with AF in the United States.
Methods: GIB mortality data in patients with AF from 1999 to 2020 was queried from the CDC database.

The mechanical properties of dietary items are known to influence skull morphology, either through evolution or by phenotypic plasticity. Here, we investigated the impact of supplementary feeding of peanuts on the morphology of red squirrels () from five populations in Britain (North Scotland, Borders, Jersey and two temporally distinct populations from Formby (Merseyside)). Stable isotope analysis confirmed dietary ecology in 58 specimens.

Emulsions play an important role in food systems by encapsulating and delivering active compounds, but maintaining their stability under various conditions can be challenging. This study explored how the concentrations of Tremella polysaccharides (TPs) (0-0.75 %) affects the structural of whey protein isolate (WPI) and the stability of their emulsions at pH 4.
