Study sheds light on the wide disparities within maternal mortality rates in the U.S.

A new study by investigators from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington and Mass General Brigham found that maternal mortality rates have worsened from 1999 to 2019, hitting some racial and ethnic groups and states harder than others.

Stalled progress: Enteric infection reduction efforts slowed in 2022 despite pandemic easing

The research paper focuses on the lack of progress in reducing enteric infection incidence in 2022 despite the subsiding influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts among food stakeholders and regulators to mitigate pathogen contamination during poultry slaughter and prevent contamination of leafy greens.
