TL;DR: It is proposed that a salutary effect of religion on blood pressure can be explained by some combination of the following correlates or sequelae of religion: the promotion of health-related behavior; hereditary predispositions in particular groups; the healthful psychosocial effects of religious practice; and, the beneficial psychodynamics of belief systems, religious rites, and faith.

TL;DR: It becomes apparent that only a well‐coordinated international effort such as that initiated by the World Health Organization, aimed at harmonizing xenotransplantation procedures according to the highest ethical and regulatory standards on a global scale, will enable the initiation of clinical xenotranplantation trials under the best auspices for its success and minimize any risk of failure.

TL;DR: The relationship between NRC and inferior mental health outcomes was more robust than the relationship between PRC and improved mental health scores and the interpretation of these findings and clinical implications are offered.
