The article focuses on the diverse meanings of the term "syzygy" across various fields, including astronomy, biology, and language. Topics discussed include the pairing of homologous chromosomes in biology, the challenges students face with scientific vocabulary, and the importance of clear communication in bridging the gap between scientists and the public.

Background: Racial inequities exist in treatment and outcomes in patients with acute stroke. Objectives: Our objective was to determine if racial inequities exist in the time-lapse between patient presentation and provider assessment in patients with stroke-like symptoms in Emergency Departments (ED) across the U.S. Methods: This study is a retrospective, observational study of the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) 2014–2018. We identified visits with stroke-like symptoms and stratified the proportion of door-to-provider (DTP) times by racial groups. We used broad and narrow definitions of stroke-like symptoms. We performed bivariate and multivariate analyses using race and clinical and demographic characteristics as covariates. Results: Between 2014–2018, there were an average of 138.58 million annual ED visits. Of the total ED visits, 0.36% to 7.39% of the ED visits presented with stroke-like symptoms, and the average DTP time ranged from 39 to 49 min. The proportion of the visits with a triage level of 1 (immediate) or 2 (emergent) ranged from 16.03% to 23.27% for stroke-like symptoms. We did not find statistically significant racial inequities in DTP or ED triage level. We found significantly longer DTP times in non-Hispanic blacks (15.88 min, 95% CI: 4.29–27.48) and Hispanics (by 14.77 min, 95% CI: 3.37–26.16) than non-Hispanic whites that presented with atypical stroke-like symptoms. We observed that non-Hispanic whites were significantly more diagnosed with a stroke/TIA than other racial minority groups (p = 0.045) for atypical stroke-like symptoms. Conclusion: In our population-based analysis, we did not identify systemic racial inequities in the DTP times or ED triage level at ED triage for stroke-like symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This document is a select bibliography of recent Chinese and Japanese publications on Syriac Christianity from 2019 to 2022. It includes books and articles written in Chinese and Japanese, covering various topics related to Syriac Christianity. The bibliography is divided into two parts, one for Chinese language publications and one for Japanese language publications. The compilers searched major databases and used physical copies to select the most significant publications for inclusion. The bibliography provides English translations and transliterations of the titles, and it aims to be a valuable resource for researchers interested in Syriac Christianity. [Extracted from the article]
