Diagnostic Testing Accuracy in a High-Prevalence Native American Population of Northern Arizona.

( is a common gastric pathogen and a leading cause of non-cardia gastric cancers. Known determinants can affect the diagnostic accuracy of invasive clinical methods for diagnosis. The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the CLOtest, a rapid urease test, and the histopathologic examination compared with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in esophagogastroduodenoscopy patients from a population with high prevalence and other risk factors that may influence diagnostic accuracy.

What burns in a wildfire influences cardiovascular health outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to understand cardiovascular health outcomes following wildfire and determine if fuel type clarifies variation in the association. The systematic review included English, peer-reviewed, primary data analysis studies that explored wildfire exposures with associated cardiovascular morbidity or mortality health outcomes published up to October 17, 2023 and identified through five databases (PROSPERO Protocol #CRD42024589994). We extracted article details, fire exposure metrics, cardiovascular health outcome metrics, study design, measures of association (risk ratio [RRs], incidence rate ratios [IRRs] and 95 % confidence intervals [CIs]), covariates, confounding factors, and stratified analyses from each article.
