TL;DR: Insecticide exposures may contribute to risk of CLL/SLL and DLBCL and future studies should examine relationships of LH subtypes with specific types of household insecticides.

TL;DR: A scientific forum with 18 investigators active in the field of population health disparities was held to discuss heart, lung, and sleep disorders in children and adolescents of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN).

TL;DR: Investigation of the relationships of estimated left ventricular (LV) myocardial energy expenditure (MEE) with LV systolic dysfunction, body composition, and inflammation in a population-based sample of adults without overt congestive heart failure found depressed EF was associated independently with higher MEE, lower adipose mass, and higher fibrinogen.

TL;DR: Procedures for selection and enrollment and providing feedback and referrals for selecting and enrolling extended families into the study and for working with the NSHC Board, the village councils, and individual participants are described.

TL;DR: In this cohort at high cardiometabolic risk, HbA1c emerged as the foremost predictor of ischemic stroke when added to traditional risk factors, affording substantially improved discrimination, with a more modest contribution for left atrial diameter.
