Mortality is a quantification of death, often referring to deaths attributing to a specific cause such as a disease or illness. Epidemiological studies often report mortality rates which are calculated by dividing the number of deaths due to a disease by the total population.
This presentation will focus on the near- and medium-term future of COVID. COVID will become endemic, but what does this really mean? How will COVID affect longevity in the United States? Wh...
An overview of NIDA’s current medications pipeline for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) is presented. OUD and its consequences are a major public health concern with a devast...
Learning objectives: 1. Define critical components of a comprehensive approach to statewide OUD treatment program. 2. Identify ongoing challenges with care delivery for OUD treatment. 3. Exp...
Most hospital systems have implemented opioid-related stewardship programs. That is an important first step. This talk will take that work to the next level, describing four advanced concept...
The risk of mortality from COVID-19 follows a sharp age gradient, with older populations facing a thousand fold higher risk of death upon infection than children. At the same time, the COVID...
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection often leads to development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with profound pulmonary patho-histological changes post-mortem. In this study, we utiliz...
We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...
Data suggests that genetics comprises 42-58% of the prostate cancer risk. GWAS has found about 43% of the risk SNPs in Blacks and European Americans. Most of the SNPs that have been discover...
African American women face a lower risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer as compared to Caucasian-American women, yet they paradoxically face an increased breast cancer mortality hazar...

Saliva serves as a reservoir for the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). Saliva collection is non-invasive, convenient, and amenable to self-collection. Thus, saliva is an ideal resource for l...
