The Association of Arsenic Metabolism with Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, and Diabetes: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiological Evidence
Conclusions: Population level of iAs% and DMA%, but not MMA%, were associated with arsenic exposure levels. Overall, study findings suggest that higher MMA% was associated with an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, while lower MMA% was associated with an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Additional population-based studies and experimental studies are needed to further evaluate and understand the role of arsenic exposure in arsenic metabolism and the role of arsenic metabolism in disease development. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP577 Received: 01 June 2016 Revised: 26 February 2017 Acce...

Multiple Strokes in a Latin American Patient
We present a case of a recent immigrant from El Salvador without past medical history who presented to our hospital with symptoms concerning for acute stroke. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium confirmed an acute stroke along with multiple prior infarcts involving different vascular beds. Head magnetic resonance arteriogram did not reveal any occlusions/stenosis or aneurysmal changes. His subsequent extensive evaluation included an electrocardiogram (ECG) that revealed bifascicular block and echocardiography that suggested an apical aneurysm, but images were limited to assess. To further assess the like...

FDA Experts Vote to Make All COVID-19 Vaccines and Boosters Bivalent
In a unanimous decision, all 21 voting members of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) vaccine committee recommended that the U.S. start using the same COVID-19 virus strain in all of the COVID-19 vaccines, including primary and booster doses. That means the bivalent booster dose, which targets both the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and the Omicron BA.4/5 strains, would soon become the only type used for all primary shots and boosters. The decision reflects a turning point in the pandemic. Until now, vaccine makers have tried to keep up with constantly evolving variants, but they’ve always been a few step...
