UnknownClassical and quantum approaches to probabilistic modeling of fire occurrence in anthracite grade coal.
Despite having definite ignition points for a substance, auto ignition may be observed at different temperatures and energies. This paper presents a detailed quantitative analysis of anthracite coal ignition probability across various energy and temperatures under classical and quantum frameworks. T...

UnknownDelays in Referral to Multidisciplinary Care for Black Individuals With Sarcoidosis.

Background

Sarcoidosis is a complex granulomatous disease that benefits from multidisciplinary subspecialty expertise. Inequitable access to care contributes to racial disparities in many diseases; however, to our knowledge, no studies have examined racial differences in referral times to Sa...

UnknownOregon's Emphasis On Equity Shows Signs Of Early Success For Black And American Indian Medicaid Enrollees.
In 2012 Oregon transformed its Medicaid program, providing coverage through sixteen coordinated care organizations (CCOs). The state identified the elimination of health disparities as a priority for the CCOs, implementing a multipronged approach that included strategic planning, community health wo...

UnknownIsolation of Onchocerca lupi in Dogs and Black Flies, California, USA.
In southern California, ocular infections caused by Onchocerca lupi were diagnosed in 3 dogs (1 in 2006, 2 in 2012). The infectious agent was confirmed through morphologic analysis of fixed parasites in tissues and by PCR and sequencing of amplicons derived from 2 mitochondrially encoded genes and 1...

UnknownRacial Disparities in COVID-19 Outcomes Among Black and White Patients With Cancer.

Importance

Non-Hispanic Black individuals experience a higher burden of COVID-19 than the general population; hence, there is an urgent need to characterize the unique clinical course and outcomes of COVID-19 in Black patients with cancer.

Objective

To investigate racial disparities i...

UnknownA near complete, chromosome-scale assembly of the black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) genome.

Background

The fragmented nature of most draft plant genomes has hindered downstream gene discovery, trait mapping for breeding, and other functional genomics applications. There is a pressing need to improve or finish draft plant genome assemblies.

Findings

Here, we present a chromos...

UnknownDopamine Buffering Capacity Imaging: A Pharmacodynamic fMRI Method for Staging Parkinson Disease.
We propose a novel pharmacological fMRI (phMRI) method for objectively quantifying disease severity in Parkinson disease (PD). It is based on the clinical observation that the benefit from a dose of levodopa wears off more quickly as PD progresses. Biologically this has been thought to represent dec...

UnknownEffect of Physician-Delivered COVID-19 Public Health Messages and Messages Acknowledging Racial Inequity on Black and White Adults' Knowledge, Beliefs, and Practices Related to COVID-19: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance

Social distancing is critical to the control of COVID-19, which has disproportionately affected the Black community. Physician-delivered messages may increase adherence to these behaviors.

Objectives

To determine whether messages delivered by physicians improve COVID-19 kno...

UnknownRacial-ethnic disparities in management and outcomes among children with type 1 diabetes.

Background and objectives

Previous research has documented racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes treatments and outcomes. It remains controversial whether these disparities result from differences in socioeconomic status (SES) or other factors. We examined racial/ethnic disparities in therap...

UnknownMultiomic profiling identifies predictors of survival in African American patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Genomic profiles and prognostic biomarkers in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from ancestry-diverse populations are underexplored. We analyzed the exomes and transcriptomes of 100 patients with AML with genomically confirmed African ancestry (Black; Alliance) and compared their somatic mu...
