Unlabelled: Context (Background): Lips prints are unique and are a tool for personal identification.
Aims: Indian population can be divided into different ethno-racial groups. In this study, we aimed at finding the most and the least prevalent lip print patterns in these groups and also to observe any similarities or differences that may exist in these groups in terms of lip print patterns.
Settings And Design: Lip prints in 755 individuals categorized into different ethno-racial groups were studied.
Materials And Methods: Brown- and pink-colored lipsticks, cellophane tape, and magnifying lens were used to record and study the lip prints.
Results: Among all the three ethno-racial groups, Type I was the most prevalent lip print pattern observed. The least prevalent lip print pattern in all the three groups was Type IV. Inference/Conclusion: Lip prints hold potential as supplementary tools for identification where they can be recorded with ease. The observation and classification of lip print patterns in different ethno-racial groups not only provide some useful data but also open a new window to a field that can contribute extensively to criminal investigation and identification.

Introduction: The relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) plasma biomarkers, and physical functioning (PF) across diverse races and ethnicities remains unclear. This study aims to explore this association in an ethno-racially diverse sample of cognitively unimpaired community-dwelling adults.
Methods: Data clinical examinations, neuropsychological tests, blood draws, and PF exams (Timed Up and Go [TUG] and Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB]) were analyzed.

In Ontario, collaborations between Public Health Units (PHUs) and faith-based organizations (FBOs) and other community organizations were implemented to deliver interventions aimed at building trust in vaccines among ethnoracial communities. This research sought to explore the processes of PHU engagement with FBOs, and challenges encountered. A qualitative research study based on in-depth interviews was conducted with 18 of the 34 Ontario PHUs who expressed an interest.

The retrospective study by Lew (2022) examined the rising hospitalization rates for chronic pancreatitis (CP) and its association with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), revealing significant ethno-racial disparities and risk factors. Overweight black men aged 40-59 years and white men over 40 years with higher incomes showed an elevated risk of PDAC among CP patients. The study, which included 14.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how ethno-racial disparities in cardiometabolic diseases are influenced by socioeconomic, behavioral, and environmental factors, using a Bayesian network approach based on 20 years of data.
- - It identifies several pathways linking ethno-racial group to cardiometabolic outcomes, highlighting that education and behavioral factors like diet and physical activity play varying roles among different groups.
- - The findings indicate that while improved diet and activity lower disease risk more for non-Hispanic Whites, these factors are less effective for non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics, suggesting the need to explore unmeasured structural determinants affecting health disparities in these communities.
