  • Changing Treatment Philosophy of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) after Introduction of the Modified Dunn Procedure (MDP)

    Open AccessEnrico Micciulli, Laura Ruzzini et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    We performed ISP in chronic SCFE with the SA ≤ 40° and MDP in acute and chronic SCFE with the SA > 40°, with satisfactory results. In both acute-on-chronic and chronic long-lasting SCFE with severe displacement, planned for MDP, a CT scan should be carried out to evaluate possible femoro-acetabular incongruency that may cause hip instability

  • The stories about racism and health

    Open AccessCaroline Figueroa, Caroline A Figueroa et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2023

    We demonstrated racism narratives of dismissal, person-level, societal, and actionable explanations within influential medical articles. Our framework can help clinicians, researchers, and educators gain insight into which narratives have been used to describe the causes of racial and ethnic health inequities, and to evaluate medical literature more critically. This work is a first step towards monitoring racism narratives over time, which can mo…

  • Racial/ethnic minority segregation and low birth weight in five North American cities

    Fernando De Maio, David Ansell et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2018Cited by: 2References: 3

    Comparisons of communities across cities are rare in social epidemiology. Our prior work exploring racial/ethnic segregation and the prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) in communities from two large urban cities showed a strong relationship in Chicago and a very weak relationship in Toronto. This study extends that work by examining the association between racial/ethnic minority segregation and LBW in total of 307 communities in five North Ameri…

  • Association of community-level inequities and premature mortality

    Brittney S Lange-Maia, Fernando De Maio et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2018Cited by: 5References: 13

    Background Substantial disparities in life expectancy exist between Chicago’s 77 defined community areas, ranging from approximately 69 to 85 years. Prior work in New York City and Boston has shown that community-level racial and economic segregation as measured by the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) is strongly related to premature mortality. This novel metric allows for the joint assessment of area-based income and racial polarisat…

  • Racial/ethnic minority segregation and low birth weight

    Open AccessFernando De Maio, Raj C Shah et al.ARTICLECritical Public Health2017

    We examined the association between racial/ethnic minority segregation and low birth weight (LBW) in Chicago and Toronto communities. While previous work has documented the importance of contextual effects on LBW, these studies have usually been conducted within a single city. We used Pearson correlation coefficients and OLS regression models to examine potential variability in the association between racial/ethnic minority segregation and LBW in…

  • Advancing the income inequality – health hypothesis

    Open AccessFernando De MaioARTICLECritical Public Health2011

    The notion that income inequality exerts an influence on health status (over and above the long-known effects of individual or household income) has received a great deal of attention in social epidemiology, medical sociology and economics in the past 20 years. And although a clear consensus on the hypothesis is yet to emerge, a new wave of empirical studies has strengthened the case for seeing income inequality as a social determinant of health.…

  • Socioeconomic Gradients in Chronic Disease Risk Factors in Middle-Income Countries

    Nancy L Fleischer, Ana V Diez Roux et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2011Cited by: 3References: 23

    Objectives. We investigated associations of socioeconomic position (SEP) with chronic disease risk factors, and heterogeneity in this patterning by provincial-level urbanicity in Argentina. Methods. We used generalized estimating equations to determine the relationship between SEP and body mass index, high blood pressure, diabetes, low physical activity, and eating fruit and vegetables, and examined heterogeneity by urbanicity with nationally rep…
