BACKGROUND: Latinos/Hispanics are at higher risk for developing gastric cancer (GC) compared with non-Hispanic whites, and social determinants of health (SDoH) are thought to contribute. AIMS/MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study addressed SDoH and their interactions contributing to disparities in the testing and treatment of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and diagnosis of GC and its known precursors, among Latinos/Hispanics relative to non-Latinos at two affiliated but independent health systems in San Antonio, Texas, using a mixed methods approach...

REVIEW
Cindy Rodriguez, Cindy Gil, Gerardo Maupomé
Recruiting and retaining Hispanic/Latinx (H/L) participants, specifically undocumented immigrants, is challenging in part because of the mistrust and fear in participating in research studies. Additionally, only a few longitudinal studies describe the recruit and retention strategies among Mexican and Central American immigrants aiming to expand the knowledge base about those underprivileged groups; this was the objective of the 6-year longitudinal VidaSana study. In the present methods report, we specifically omit the presentation of results from the empirical data findings of the VidaSana study: the present report describes the process and offers a subjective appraisal of multiple and complementary approaches in the recruitment and retention strategies for Hispanics living in the Midwest region of the United States, including very recently arrived immigrants...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) among U.S. adults has been rising annually, with a higher incidence rate in Black and Hispanic adults than Whites. The American Heart Association (AHA) has defined cardiovascular health according to the achievement of seven health behaviors (smoking, body mass index [BMI], physical activity, diet) and health factors (total cholesterol, blood pressure, fasting glucose). Optimal cardiovascular health has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and awareness of this risk may influence healthy behaviors...

In this study, we employed spatially aggregated population mobility data, generated from mobile phone locations in 2021, to investigate patterns of grocery store visits among residents east and northeast of Downtown Los Angeles, in which 60% of the census tracts had previously been designated as "food deserts". Further, we examined whether the store visits varied with neighborhood sociodemographics and grocery store accessibility. We found that residents averaged 0.4 trips to grocery stores per week, with only 13% of these visits within home census tracts, and 40% within home and neighboring census tracts...

Many laboratory studies demonstrated that the exposure to microplastics causes testosterone deficiency and spermatogenic impairment in mammals; however, the mechanism underlying this process remains still unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MP) on the proliferation and functionality of cultured Leydig (TM3) and Sertoli (TM4) cells, focusing on the mitochondrial compartment and its association with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The in vitro exposure to PS-MP caused a substantial reduction in cellular viability in TM3 and TM4 cells...

Although gains in access to water services over the past two decades have been large, more than two billion people still lack access to safely managed drinking water. This study examines and compares free chlorine taste and acceptability thresholds of rural Indigenous Ngäbe and rural Latino Panamanians to study if taste aversion may be a limiting factor in chlorination of community systems in Panama using the three-alternative forced choice test methodology. This study is the first to establish a best-estimate taste threshold for a rural Indigenous group and the only study in Latin America to report best-estimate taste thresholds using those methods...

In the US, there is a growing number of older Latinx communities. Qualitative approaches such as narrative inquiry may be fruitful endeavors to elucidate their lived experiences. However, older Latinx communities, including sexual minorities, are disproportionately exposed to social, health, and historical challenges that may result in exposure to potentially traumatic events (e.g. discrimination, illness, grief, etc.). The recognition of high rates of exposure to potentially traumatic events among participants has led to the recommended adoption of Trauma Informed (TI) principles for use in non-trauma specific research...
