Abstract:
Cancer health disparities (CHDs), defined as the adverse differences in cancer incidence and mortality, are prevalent in certain racial and ethnic groups. Underlying causes of CHDs are multi-factorial and debatable. While low socioeconomic status, geographical location, lifestyle and behavioral factors are mostly believed to contribute to CHDs, regardless of ethnic and racial background, significant data now also exist to support a genetic basis of such disparities as well. Clearly, CHDs could best be understood by studying the interplay of multiple (genetic and non-genetic) factors and then translating the resulting knowledge into effective approaches for reducing the existing disparity gaps. This review article highlights these aspects in brief and calls the people of different expertise to work together to make an impact and tackle the challenges associated with CHDs.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
