Hannah Cairo found herself stuck on a problem that wouldn’t leave her mind. It wasn’t a regular homework assignment—it was a ...
The use of the race-neutral equation changed 39% of all Black children from normal to reduced lung function when compared to the race-specific equation.
Continued use of outdated race-specific equations while diagnosing children with asthma symptoms limits the identification of reduced lung function in Black children.
We propose a method to solve differential problems, and in particular quantum wave equations, with periodic boundary conditions, in the direct space using periodic repetitions of the cardinal sine ...
Following use of race-neutral vs. -specific lung function equations, spirometry findings and patterns differed, especially among Black children/adolescents, according to results published in JAMA ...
Even though, a priori, any strain measure can be used as the argument for the proposed normalized hyperbolic sine function (Equation 2), only the Seth-Hill family of strain measures were investigated.
A perturbed sine-Gordon equation is considered under the restrictions on the model parameters corresponding to the single equilibrium in the noise-free case. First, a strict Lyapunov function is ...
Use of race-neutral/race-free equations to find FEV1 revealed that some Black smokers had more severe COPD than previously found with race-specific equations, according to results published in ...
Removing a patient’s race from an equation used to assess lung function — a change called for by health equity advocates — would mean that the lung disease of nearly half a million Black ...
Removing race from equations that estimate lung function will shift the categorization of disease severity across patient populations, moving more Black individuals into an advanced disease ...
