Why Black People Die Sooner
There is a persistent gap in life expectancy between Black people and their white counterparts in the United States. It is a direct result of structural racism within American society and has nothing to do with genetic differences. In past eras, scientific racism sought to shift the blame to the supposed physical inferiority of people of African descent. Even today, medicine labors under false beliefs derived from nineteenth-century racial thinking, harming patients who are not of European descent. Why Black People Die Sooner is a powerful and rigorous examination of the ways racism shapes health and disease. Joseph L. Graves Jr. demonstrates that the medical profession still fails to grasp basic facts about race, tracing how deep-rooted falsehoods have perpetuated the disparity between Black and white lifespans. He equips readers with the tools to dispel the fallacies and errors of racialized medicine, including an understanding of evolutionary biology and human biological variation. Graves also debunks common misconceptions about race and health on topics such as high blood pressure, sickle cell disease, the microbiome, infectious diseases, and cancer. Why Black People Die Sooner closes by offering a sweeping vision for dismantling medical racism, from professional training to clinical practice through biomedical research. Timely and bracing, this book reveals why medicine keeps misunderstanding race--and how we can make it change.

An Update on Syndemics
The syndemics framework proposes that the co-occurrence of diseases within specific time periods and geographic regions is driven by adverse social and environmental conditions that exacerbate and reinforce poor health outcomes. Over the past quarter-century, this theoretical lens has significantly shaped health-related disciplines, offering critical insights into research, policy, and practice.This Special Issue seeks to spotlight emerging syndemic configurations of infectious diseases with the goal of informing more effective health policies and interventions. Much of the existing literature has focused on HIV-related syndemics; however, newer constellations of diseases-such as those involving COVID-19, Ebola, MPOX, dengue, mucormycosis, and neglected tropical diseases-are increasingly evident and merit scholarly attention. In addition, while pandemics increasingly cross borders and share underlying social determinants, the specific syndemic dynamics they generate are deeply shaped by local political, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for place-specific analyses that support tailored intervention strategies.In this Special Issue, authors were asked to address all three core elements of the syndemics framework: the biological interplay of diseases, the synergistic effects that emerge from their interaction, and the local social characteristics of affected populations that support disease clustering.
Promoting Behavioral Change to Improve Health Outcomes
Health promotion and illness prevention interventions play a pivotal role in promoting healthier behaviours and reducing the prevalence and burden of disease across the world. These interventions utilise a multifaceted approach that includes education and awareness campaigns, behavioural techniques to influence individual and collective choices, and system changes to support citizens in making healthier choices. This Special Issue focuses on research studying such behaviours and is particularly interested in the prevention agenda; that is, the way in which the adoption of healthy behaviours can delay or even prevent future illness and chronic disease. The studies reported herein encompass a diverse range of health behaviours, from addiction and physical activity sustainability to medical adherence, mental health, and sleep. The reprint will be of particular interest to researchers interested in behaviour change, and those looking for examples of how theory can be used effectively in both understanding complex challenges and in applied settings. The benefits of these interventions are twofold: individuals lead healthier, longer lives, and the societal costs associated with treating preventable diseases are considerably reduced.

Structural Genomics and Human Health Implications
Robust biomedical research in the United States has led to many advances in modern medicine. Our current knowledge of genomics and proteomics has opened the door for many new technologies, which often merge several disciplines, such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics. One of those ever evolving technologies is protein X-ray crystallography which allows visualization of macromolecular structures at the atomic level and accurate determination of protein structures. An understanding of protein structure and function, brought about by structural genomics research, could have implications in civilian and military medicine with applications in new drug developments, enhanced vaccination efficacies and biological warfare agent neutralization. More specifically, knowing the structure of an enzyme, could lead to designing of a molecule that would bind to the active site of the enzyme and either activate or deactivate its action. This approach could be used in structural and functional analysis of proteins and may possibly play a role in diabetes, viral and bacterial infections, cancer and biotoxin action mechanisms. Third-generation synchrotrons, such as the one at the Argonne National Laboratory's Advance Photon Source, allow scientists to determine the three-dimensional protein structures at the highest resolution. Additionally, high-throughput structural genomics laboratories, such as Argonne's Midwest Center for Structural Genomics, make protein structures available for further studies to scientists around the world by rapidly solving and depositing them into protein databases.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Social Determinants of Health
The new edition of this popular introduction takes seriously the idea that health outcomes can be fully understood only by investigating the role the social world plays in our health. Ratcliff and Axtell-Thompson put into practice the "upstream" imagery championed by public health experts, locating the causes of health problems - and their solutions - within the social environment. Each chapter explains how the shape of social institutions, the unequal realities of community life, and the politics behind corporate and governmental decisions produce and perpetuate unhealthy living and working conditions. This new edition links more strongly to existing US and international policy frameworks on the determinants of health and pays greater attention to socioeconomic factors, education, climate change, and neighborhood disparities. Arguing that none of us should be placed in health-threatening situations that could be prevented, this provocative analysis uses social justice and human rights lenses to guide public discussion toward changes that can produce a healthier world for us all. It will continue to be invaluable to professionals and students in sociology, public health, and other fields related to health.

The Biomedical Writer's Handbook
Writing is an integral part of what it means to be a scientist. Unfortunately, biomedical scientists receive little to no training in scientific writing. It's simply assumed that when the time comes to write an article, abstract, grant application or some other work, the ability to write clearly and persuasively will automatically appear. The result is that poor writing skills are a significant barrier for many in the biomedical fields. The Biomedical Writer's Handbook is designed to fill this skills gap, without the need for extensive coursework or advanced degrees. Instead, the Handbook introduces readers to a simple paradigm for clear and persuasive writing, and then applies the paradigm to the most common writing tasks academic physicians and others are likely to encounter. Learning principles and theories is insufficient to develop skills, so the Handbook includes a number of exercises for practice. The book is connected to an online community (The Biomedical Writer's Handbook Community) in which readers will find additional exercises, tips for writing, links to resources, and also the opportunity to connect with other writers to share feedback and ideas.
