Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021 As a result of urbanization, natural surfaces are replaced by artificial surfaces that trap heatsuch as buildings, pavements and asphalt, so residential areas have higher temperature values than rural areas. This effect, defined as the urban heat island,

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
