Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysi...
Robinson, L; Roccaldo, R; Rodrigues, D; Rodriguez Perez, MdC; Rodríguez Villamizar, LA; Rodríguez, AY; Roggenbuck, U; Rohloff, P; Rohner, FBackground: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that...
Search for new physics in low-energy electron recoils from the first LZ exposure
Aalbers, J.; Akerib, D. S.; Al Musalhi, A. K.; Alder, F.; Amarasinghe, C. S.; Ames, A.; Anderson, T. J.; Angelides, N.; Araújo, H. M.; Armstrong, J. E.The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber. We report searches for new physics appearing through few-keV-scale electron recoils, using the experiment’s first exposure of 60 live days and a fiducial mass of 5.5 t. The data are found to be consistent with a background-only hypothesis, and limits are set on models for new physics including solar ...
Basilar Artery Occlusion Management: Specialist Perspectives From an Internatio...
Edwards, C; Drumm, B; Siegler, J; Schonewille, W; Klein, P; Huo, X; Chen, Y; Abdalkader, M; Qureshi, M; Strbian, D; Liu, X; Hu, W; Ji, X; Li, CBackground and purpose: Two early basilar artery occlusion (BAO) randomized controlled trials did not establish the superiority of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) over medical management. While many providers continue to recommend EVT for acute BAO, perceptions of equipoise in randomizing patients with BAO to EVT versus medical management may differ between clinician specialties. Methods: We conducted an intern...
Mapping age- and sex-specific HIV prevalence in adults in sub-Saharan Africa, 2...
Haeuser, E; Serfes, AL; Cork, MA; Yang, M; Abbastabar, H; Abhilash, ES; Adabi, M; Adebayo, OM; Adekanmbi, V; Adeyinka, DA; Afzal, S; Ahinkorah, BOBackground: Human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is still among the leading causes of disease burden and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and the world is not on track to meet targets set for ending the epidemic by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Precise HIV burden information is...
The overlapping burden of the three leading causes of disability and death in s...
Reiner, RC; Welgan, CA; Troeger, CE; Baumann, MM; Weiss, DJ; Deshpande, A; Blacker, BF; Miller Petrie, MK; Earl, L; Bhatt, S; Abolhassani, HDespite substantial declines since 2000, lower respiratory infections (LRIs), diarrhoeal diseases, and malaria remain among the leading causes of nonfatal and fatal disease burden for children under 5 years of age (under 5), primarily in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The spatial burden of each of these diseases has been estimated subnationally across SSA, yet no prior analyses have examined the pattern of their com...
Subnational mapping of HIV incidence and mortality among individuals aged 15–49...
Sartorius, B; VanderHeide, JD; Yang, M; Goosmann, EA; Hon, J; Haeuser, E; Cork, MA; Perkins, S; Jahagirdar, D; Schaeffer, LE; Serfes, AL; LeGrand, KEBackground. High-resolution estimates of HIV burden across space and time provide an important tool for tracking and monitoring the progress of prevention and control efforts and assist with improving the precision and efficiency of targeting efforts. We aimed to assess HIV incidence and HIV mortality for all second-level administrative units across sub-Saharan Africa. Methods. In this modelling study, we devel...
Mapping subnational HIV mortality in six Latin American countries with incomple...
Cork, MA; Henry, NJ; Watson, S; Croneberger, AJ; Baumann, M; Letourneau, ID; Yang, M; Serfes, AL; Abbas, J; Abbasi, N; Abbastabar, H; Abreu, LGBackground: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a public health priority in Latin America. While the burden of HIV is historically concentrated in urban areas and high-risk groups, subnational estimates that cover multiple countries and years are missing. This paucity is partially due to incomplete vital registration (VR) systems and statistical challenges related to estimating mortality rates in areas w...
Anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countr...
Kinyoki, D; Osgood-Zimmerman, AE; Bhattacharjee, NV; Schaeffer, LE; Lazzar-Atwood, A; Lu, D; Ewald, SB; Donkers, KM; Letourneau, ID; Collison, MAnemia is a globally widespread condition in women and is associated with reduced economic productivity and increased mortality worldwide. Here we map annual 2000–2018 geospatial estimates of anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age (15–49 years) across 82 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), stratify anemia by severity and aggregate results to policy-relevant administrative and national levels. Addi...
Mapping inequalities in exclusive breastfeeding in low- and middle-income count...
Bhattacharjee, NV; Schaeffer, LE; Hay, SI; Lu, D; Schipp, MF; Lazzar-Atwood, A; Donkers, KM; Abady, GG; Abd-Allah, F; Abdelalim, A; Abebo, ZHExclusive breastfeeding (EBF)-giving infants only breast-milk for the first 6 months of life-is a component of optimal breastfeeding practices effective in preventing child morbidity and mortality. EBF practices are known to vary by population and comparable subnational estimates of prevalence and progress across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are required for planning policy and interventions. Here w...
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) radioactivity and cleanliness control programs
Akerib, D. S.; Akerlof, C. W.; Akimov, D. Yu.; Alquahtani, A.; Alsum, S. K.; Anderson, T. J.; Angelides, N.; Araújo, H. M.; Arbuckle, A.LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation direct dark matter experiment with spin-independent WIMPnucleon scattering sensitivity above 1.4 × 10−48 cm2 for a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/c2 and a 1000 days exposure. LZ achieves this sensitivity through a combination of a large 5.6 t fiducial volume, active inner and outer veto systems, and radio-pure construction using materials with inherently low radioactivity content.
