In the current article, we argue that the current conceptualization of grief as ‘the acute pain that accompanies the loss of a loved one’ is too narrow in scope. Specifically, our current conceptualization of grief fails to account for the various ways in which grief is manifested amongst Black Americans. Throughout the article, we explore how the history of the racialization of Black people in America has resulted in a unique experience of loss, grief, and bereavement which previous research has largely failed to elucidate. Additionally, we explore how grief catalyzes political and social...

A substantial proportion of the adult US population with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are undiagnosed, calling into question the comprehensiveness of current screening practices, which primarily rely on age, family history, and body mass index (BMI). We hypothesized that a polygenic score (PGS) may serve as a complementary tool to identify high-risk individuals. The T2D PGS maintained predictive utility after adjusting for family history and combining genetics with family history led to even more improved disease risk prediction. We observed that the PGS was meaningfully related to age of onset with ...

A stable marker of face perception seems to be a left-side bias, that is, a tendency to rely more on the information conveyed by the left-side of faces as compared to their right-side. Previous studies showed that the left-side bias is affected by the familiarity or experience with the face stimuli. Since lower familiarity is the hallmark of other-race relative to own-race faces, the left-side bias should be weaker for other-race faces. Further, in Chinese participants face inversion has been found to abolish the left-side bias for own-race faces. Therefore, it is of interest, whether the face...

Background: HIV-positive people can spread the virus through unprotected sex; however, HIV can be avoided if populations are educated about the risks. In underdeveloped nations, evidence suggests that the ABC method for HIV prevention is quite effective. As a result, the goal of this study was to determine the magnitude of HIV prevention behavior among adults in the Majang zone of southwest Ethiopia, as well as the factors that influence it. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out from March 1st to May 31st, 2019. The data were collected through a face-to-face intervie...

Nutrient reduction in catchments is an important strategy to mitigate coastal eutrophication. The responses of ecosystems to nutrient reduction on a decadal scale can help us to understand the effects of environmental restoration. Here, the cascading trophic interactions of mesozooplankton and phytoplankton in Laizhou Bay were analyzed to examine the effects of river nutrient reductions during 2004–2014. The results showed that the diversity of the mesozooplankton assemblages and the proportion of higher trophic species increased after nutrient reductions, and mesozooplankton abundance showe...
