“One of the major contributions of this work is its focus on street-identified Black Americans, an understudied population in research on health outcomes despite high exposure to violence and other forms of adversity,” Naomi Sadeh, PhD, study author and associate professor in the department of psychological and brain sciences at the University of Delaware,

Mycophenolate mofetil was equally effective and more tolerable than methotrexate for the treatment of juvenile localized scleroderma, according to a study published in JAMA Dermatology.
Juvenile localized scleroderma (JLS), also known as morphea, is an autoimmune disease that inflames the skin and can progress to sclerosis and muscle atrophy in children. Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatments for JLS, according to the study, but typically, methotrexate is the initial medication prescribed to these patients.
“Methotrexate has historically been considered first-line therapy, yet in

Elevated sodium in groundwater was associated with increased blood pressure and odds of hypertension, especially among Asian people and those living in coastal areas, according to a new meta-analysis.
Efforts to reduce the salinity of drinking water could improve BP and prevent hypertension at the population level, the researchers wrote.
Using data from 27 observational studies, researchers conducted a meta-analysis, published in BMJ Global Health, to evaluate the potential impact of drinking water salinity on CV outcomes.
“These findings highlight the importance of including environmental
