    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minorities. Medical students were also particularly impacted as they coped with increased stressors due to delayed medical training and a high prevalence of mental health conditions. This study investigates mental health disparities of underrepresented in medicine (URM) students at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine (SLUSOM). An anonymous online survey was distributed to first- and second-year medical students at SLUSOM in February 2021. The survey queried demographic information, lifestyle factors, and pandemic-related and institutional concerns. Mental health was assessed via the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Statistical tests were run with SPSS, version 27. A convenience sample of 87 students responded to the survey. Students who were categorized as URM were significantly more likely to be at risk of major depressive disorder during the pandemic. Concern about a lack of financial support was significantly greater among students categorized as URM. Concerns regarding a lack of financial support, mental health support, and decreased quality of medical training significantly predicted PHQ-9 scores. Our findings revealed several key factors that may exacerbate mental health disparities among URM students during the pandemic. Providing adequate financial and academic resources for URMs may improve mental health outcomes for similar adverse events in the future.

    Abstract Industrial chemical contamination within coastal regions of the Great Lakes can pose serious risks to wetland habitat and offshore fisheries, often resulting in fish consumption advisories that directly affect human and wildlife health. Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of concern in many of these highly urbanized and industrialized coastal regions, one of which is the Saint Louis River estuary (SLRE), the second largest tributary to Lake Superior. The SLRE has legacy Hg contamination that drives high Hg concentrations within sediments, but it is unclear whether legacy-derived Hg actively cycles within the food web. To understand the relative contributions of legacy versus contemporary Hg sources in coastal zones, Hg, carbon, and nitrogen stable isotope ratios were measured in sediments and food webs of SLRE and the Bad River, an estuarine reference site. Hg stable isotope values revealed that legacy contamination of Hg was widespread and heterogeneously distributed in sediments of SLRE, even in areas lacking industrial Hg sources. Similar isotope values were found in benthic invertebrates, riparian spiders, and prey fish from SLRE, confirming legacy Hg reaches the SLRE food web. Direct comparison of prey fish from SLRE and the Bad River confirmed that Hg isotope differences between the sites were not attributable to fractionation associated with rapid Hg bioaccumulation at estuarine mouths, but due to the presence of industrial Hg within SLRE. The Hg stable isotope values of game fish in both estuaries were dependent on fish migration and diet within the estuaries and extending into Lake Superior. These results indicate that Hg from legacy contamination is actively cycling within the SLRE food web and, through migration, this Hg also extends into Lake Superior via game fish. Understanding sources and the movement of Hg within the estuarine food web better informs restoration strategies for other impaired Great Lakes coastal zones.

  5. Article: "Racism?!?… Just Look at Our Neighborhoods": Views on Racial Discrimination and Coping Among African American Men in Saint Louis.

    Abstract Recent events in Ferguson underscore the need to better understand the unique challenges, stressors, and coping mechanisms of African American men. To this end, a focus group study was conducted in Saint Louis, a few miles from Ferguson. Although numerous stress-related themes were discussed, racial discrimination and structural racism emerged as pervasive stressors among these men. Participants described experiences of discrimination in multiple settings including workplace, school, and residential, and within the criminal justice system. Coping strategies included not only drinking and smoking but also religiosity and familial support. Men also mentioned that they found relief in simply discussing their stressors in a group setting. One implication of this study is to develop and implement group support models for this population.

    Abstract: ... cartography of the land use and the surfaces flooded in 1998 and 1999. The study undertaken in Saint Louis ...

    Abstract The traditional method of landsat satellite data combination and the gathering of important information made it possible to produce a Geographical Information System to monitor floods in the lower estuary of the Senegal River valley (Sandholt,I., Fog, B. & Fensholt, R., 2001). This technical approach is a powerful tool for combining important information for a better comprehension of the floods and the characterization of surface qualities on the estuary. By way of a multi-temporal approach, the study team established the qualitative and quantitative impact of floods on the various geographical objects, a detailed cartography of the land use and the surfaces flooded in 1998 and 1999. The study undertaken in Saint Louis made it possible to consider surfaces flooded in 1999, and to understand the extent of these floods compared to those of 1998. The constitution of a tool of decision-making aid makes it possible to have information relating to the extent of the flood, the scope of flooded surfaces and to detect the more exposed zones in order to establish a hierarchical map according to the percentage of exposure to the risk of the geographical objects affected by the floods (populations), road infrastructures and tracks, medical and social infrastructures and perimeters of cultures (agriculture).

    Abstract Background: There is little information on prescription patterns of antiseizure medications (ASMs) during the early management of patients with epilepsy in Germany. Therefore, this study investigated the prevalence of and the factors associated with ASM prescription in patients newly diagnosed with epilepsy in this country.
    Methods: Adults diagnosed for the first time with epilepsy in one of 128 neurology practices in Germany between 2005 and 2021 were included (Disease Analyzer database, IQVIA). The prescription of ASMs was assessed within 30 days, six months, and 12 months of the diagnosis. Covariates were demographic factors, epilepsy sub-diagnoses, and co-diagnoses frequently associated with epilepsy.
    Results: This study included 55,962 participants (mean [SD] age 52.5 [20.0] years; 50.5 % men). The prevalence of ASM prescription ranged from 45.0 % within 30 days to 66.0 % within 12 months of the diagnosis. Men were less likely to receive ASMs within six and 12 months of epilepsy diagnosis than women. In addition, epilepsy sub-diagnoses of symptomatic, complex, or generalized nature were associated with increased odds of ASM prescription compared with epilepsy of unspecified nature. Finally, there was an inverse and significant association between multiple co-diagnoses (e.g., diabetes, mental and behavioral disorders due to use of alcohol, and traumatic brain injury) and ASM prescribing.
    Conclusions: A substantial proportion of participants were prescribed ASMs in the year following epilepsy diagnosis, highlighting that the early prescription of ASMs was necessary for these patients. Further research is warranted to corroborate the present findings in other countries and settings.
