A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that poor neighborhood conditions, such as noise and air quality, can increase the risk of disability in middle-aged African Americans by three times. The researchers assessed limitations in lower-body function among 563 participants living in St. Louis neighborhoods with ...
A recent study in Bosnia-Herzegovina found that child sex trafficking is often fueled by extreme poverty and family involvement, rather than organized crime. The report highlights the need to address poverty and ethnic discrimination to reduce exploitation of impoverished children.
Researchers found that Whites perceive significantly more disorder than Blacks, Latinos, and Asians, even when living in the same neighborhood. The study suggests implicit bias in perceptions of disorder contributes to continued racial segregation in the US.
A UK study found that isolating patients with MRSA in ICUs does not significantly reduce cross-infection. The study suggests that standard precautions and hand hygiene are more effective in preventing MRSA transmission.
A recent study reveals that pedestrians and cyclists in the US are more likely to be killed by cars compared to their European counterparts. The researchers attribute this to a range of public policies that make walking and cycling inconvenient, unpleasant, and unsafe.
This special issue aims to expand knowledge on drug supply and trafficking by providing accessible information to academic researchers. The articles cover various aspects of the topic, including a case study of a middle market drug broker and a conceptual framework for action against drug supply.
A new study finds that patching the unaffected eye for two hours daily is as effective as patching for six hours in treating moderate amblyopia in children. The results improve visual acuity and reduce social stigma associated with treatment, making it easier for parents to monitor their child's progress.
Researchers found that marked crosswalks increase the risk of injury for older adults, who face a 3.6 times greater risk when crossing at intersections without traffic signals or stop signs. The study suggests that older pedestrians should avoid relying on marked crosswalks and instead use signals or signs to identify safe crossing areas.
A report by Imperial College London reveals that children in deprived areas are disproportionately affected by road accidents, with rates three times higher than expected. The study recommends implementing traffic calming measures and speed management strategies to reduce injuries and inequality.
Researchers found that atropine eye drops work as well as patching in treating amblyopia, a condition affecting two to three out of every 100 children. The treatment improved vision in the affected eye, strengthening it and improving overall quality of life.
A new study by Robert Pearson, Howard Wachtel, and Kristie Ebi found that children living near heavily trafficked streets have a six-fold increased risk of developing childhood cancer. The researchers used street-traffic densities to assess exposure to air pollutants from vehicle emissions.
A new study found that surface fractures and strains in a 1971 California earthquake were caused by two nearby faults, contributing to damage to streets, highways, and buildings. The study also revealed that the San Fernando fault zone is 11 miles long, instead of the previously assessed 8 miles.
The University of Illinois is teaching grade-school kids how to cross streets safely using virtual reality technology. The study aims to find out which learning strategies are most effective for children with and without disabilities, as well as whether skills learned through VR can be generalized to real-life situations.
