This paper presents a methodological approach for assessing the relationship between weather patterns, regional climate trends, and public perceptions of global warming in the United States with control of socioeconomic, political, and ideological variables. We combined social survey data from the Gallup Poll Social Series (GPSS) with environmental data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the PRISM Climate Group. Logistic regression models were employed, enhanced by Eigenvector Spatial Filtering (ESF) to address spatial autocorrelation.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of various scoring systems (APACHE-II, SOFA, CASUS, and SAVE) in predicting outcomes for patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in a cardiothoracic intensive care setting.
- This observational study involved 142 patients admitted to a tertiary care center's CTICU after VA-ECMO insertion, using electronic health records for data collection.
- Results showed that higher scores in APACHE-II, SOFA, and CASUS were associated with increased mortality, while pre-ECMO lactate and creatinine levels, along with complications during ECMO, also significantly correlated with patient survival.
The British NHS at 75: Past, Contemporary, and Future Challenges.

This article assesses how and why the National Health Service (NHS) has remained at the forefront of British politics and society for 75 years amid significant economic pressures, organizational strain, shifting ideological trends, ongoing reforms, and an unprecedented public health emergency. The postwar "years of consensus" evolved into alleged decline and ostensible neglect during the 1980s, while New Labour sought to rejuvenate this core public service after 1997, featuring investment and often controversial reforms that challenged the party's social democratic values. Amid the New Labour era, NHS powers filtered down to devolved administrations, while from 2008 retrenchment and austerity ensued, fueled by global recession.

This qualitative study describes the Indigenous and biomedical healthcare domains for SBE care from the perspective of the Indigenous medical and nursing students in Manaus, Western Brazilian Amazon. In-depth interviews were conducted with five Indigenous students from the Amazonas State University, between January and December 2021.
