This study examined how social determinants of health (SDH) relate to vision loss by analyzing publicly available data from 18 northern and southern U.S. states and using Bayesian correlation analysis.

The authors looked at using computer vision to evaluate the degree of exotropia in individuals with strabismus.

The authors demonstrate computationally that two types of nanoplastics can bind to estrogen receptor beta and potentially disrupt endocrine systems.

The authors looked at preferences of donors to donate between different animal-centered or humanitarian charities.

The authors assess incidence and mortality rates of two cancer types in relation to trihalomethane pollutant concentrations in drinking water.

The authors looked at the impact of citrate and lactate on glioblastoma progression. Their results provide important insights for future immunotherapies aimed at treating glioblastoma.

The authors investigate whether air quality impacts solar production.

Here, seeking to better understand how facial features provide important visual cues to help convey emotions, the authors evaluated the accuracy and reaction time of participants in regards to experimental photographs where a person's eyebrows were obscured and ones where they were not. Their findings revealed that removing eyebrows resulted in a significant decrease in a participant's ability to recognize anger, with adolescents most likely to misidentify emotions.

Air pollution is thought to increase the prevalence of health conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Ganeshwaran and Ropiak investigate this relationship by determining whether there is a correlation between between one type of air pollution (fine particulate matter concentrations) and COPD hospitalization rates in Massachusetts.

The authors propose a method to help first responders find the location of a person within a high-rise building in densely populated areas.
