The ecological research of regional land use and land cover change (LULCC) under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) and Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios proposed by the IPCC has become a prominent topic. This study investigates the spatial distribution of ecological risks associated with land use and land cover changes in the arid and semi-arid regions of Xinjiang under future SSP-RCP scenarios. In this paper, LUCC data, climate data, and soil and topographic data under different scenarios in 2100 were adopted to construct the land use/land cover quality index (LQI), the climate quality index (CQI), and the soil quality index (SQI) respectively.

Background: Socioeconomic status and geographical location contribute to disparities in localized prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. We examined the impact of area of deprivation index (ADI) on initial treatment type for localized PCa in a North-American cohort.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with localized PCa, treated within Henry Ford Health (HFH), between 1995 and 2022, with available ADI-data.
