Conjunctivitis (kuhn-juhngk-tuh-´vahy-tis) is an inflammation (swelling) or infection of the thin layer (conjunctiva) that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. Inflammation can cause blood vessels in the eye to become larger. And that can make the white of the eye look pink or red. Thus, conjunctivitis is often called pink eye or red eye.

Alaska Native colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates are the highest of any ethnic/racial group in the United States. CRC screening using guaiac-based fecal occult blood tests (gFOBT) are not recommended for Alaska Native people because of false-positive results associated with a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori-associated hemorrhagic gastritis. This study evaluated whether the newer immunochemical FOBT (iFOBT) resulted in a lower false-positive rate and higher specificity for detecting advanced colorectal neoplasia than gFOBT in a population with elevated prevalence of H. pylori infection.

Obese or overweight children have an increased risk for chronic diseases. Targeting diet and exercise in schools could help prevent childhood obesity. We have previously shown the effectiveness of a 90-minute nutrition program in improving elementary school students’ food-label literacy. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a 45-minute version of the program.
