News at a glance: Diphtheria vaccine shortage, prisoner release, and iNaturalist ’s growth
CONSERVATION
Popular biodiversity app to expand
The nonprofit that runs iNaturalist, a popular app and website for identifying species, has received a $10 million grant to expand. The funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, announced last week, will allow iNaturalist—whose website is one of the largest generators of crowd-sourced species-occurrence data—to add users, technology, and observations to inform conservation. iNaturalist hopes to grow in nature-rich parts of the world, such as Asia and South America, which have fewer users uploading data. Since iNaturalist’s founding in 2008, the ...

A cardiovascular polypill for secondary stroke prevention in a tertiary centre in Ghana (SMAART): a phase 2 randomised clinical trial
Lancet Glob Health. 2023 Oct;11(10):e1619-e1628. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00347-9.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A cardiovascular polypill containing generic drugs might facilitate sustained implementation of and adherence to evidence-based treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the impact of a cardiovascular polypill in mitigating atherosclerotic risk among stroke survivors has not been assessed. We aimed to compare a polypill regimen with usual care on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) regression after ischaemic stroke.METHODS: In SMAART, a phase 2 parallel, open-label, assessor-masked, randomised clini...

Enhancing the vascular surgeon-scientist workforce with diversity and team science
In this issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery, Mirzaie et al1 show that, in 2022, only 1% of vascular surgeons receive National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, with female surgeons representing 37% of funded surgeons. They also show that NIH-funded projects covered only seven of 10 Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) research priorities. These data ar e consistent with prior analyses showing that vascular surgeons received a small proportion (4.2%) of NIH funding to surgeon-scientists, and this rate has not changed since 1995 (4.6% of grant funding in 1995 to 4.2% in 2020); more generally, less than 2% of NIH inves...
