After HIV arrived in the Caribbean from Africa, it spread first to New York City and then to different locations in the United States, according to a new study. (Worobey et al. / Nature)
Alcohol abstinence after atrial fibrillation diagnosis could reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. Lifestyle intervention, including attention to alcohol consumption, should be encouraged as part of a comprehensive approach to atrial fibrillation management to improve clinical outcomes.

The top figure shows the new four-anchored scale that contains words that young adults commonly use, and the bottom figure shows a standard scale that researchers use. The four-anchored sliding scale puts the word “Drunk” in a context between “Tipsy/’Happy'” and “Wasted.”
The A-Z Guide to Alcoholism and Depression: This guide outlines the link between alcoholism and depression. The article explains why this link exists and then provides tips you can implement to make positive change.
a–e Multi-model historical average (1995–2014) maximum daily pollen emission flux (Epol,max) over the United States (grains m−2 d−1). f–j Projected multi-model average future Epol,max change (%) at the end of century (2081–2100) for shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) 585, with the effects of temperature (T) and precipitation (pr) only, and (k–o) projected future Epol,max change (%) due to temperature, precipitation, and CO2. Panels a–o use the taxa-based pollen emission model (PECM) driven by meteorology input data from each CMIP6 model to calculate the multi-model average. p–t Plant functional type (PFT)-based model Epol,max change (%) with land cover change (LLC) effects only. The simulation is conducted using PFT-based pollen emission model (PECM) with historical (2015) and future (2100) PFT land cover and driven by the multi-model average climate input data. Columns represent different PFTs: deciduous broadleaf forest (DBL) (a, f, k, p), evergreen needleleaf forest (ENL) (b, g, l, q), grasses (GRA) (c, h, m, r), ragweed (RAG) (d, i, n, s). Bar charts (e, j, o, t) show the spatial averages in five subregions (Fig. 3g) with error bars representing the standard deviation from the average of 15 independent CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) model ensembles (n = 15) in each region (e, j, o).
