Abstract
Following an unexpected pediatric death, survivors undergo unique trauma. Medical examiners (MEs) evaluate most of these deaths. We evaluated the bereavement support available to survivors in the Chicagoland area following a pediatric death. We had two goals: to characterize the available bereavement support options and compare the locations (by zip code) of support groups with the locations (by zip code) in which pediatric ME cases occurred. We identified 48 organizations that provided bereavement support services at 74 locations in the summer and fall of 2020. Locations by zip codes in which the largest number of ME cases occurred did not have support groups. Locations in which more ME cases occurred generally had lower-income populations and a greater proportion of Black or Hispanic residents. Bereavement support following pediatric death is inadequate and unevenly distributed across the Chicagoland area.

Abstract
In the version of this article initially published, the statement "there are no pan-genomes for any other animal or plant species" was incorrect. The statement has been corrected to "there are no reported pan-genomes for any other animal species, to our knowledge." We thank David Edwards for bringing this error to our attention. The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

Abstract
The African Diaspora in the Western Hemisphere represents one of the largest forced migrations in history and had a profound impact on genetic diversity in modern populations. To date, the fine-scale population structure of descendants of the African Diaspora remains largely uncharacterized. Here we present genetic variation from deeply sequenced genomes of 642 individuals from North and South American, Caribbean and West African populations, substantially increasing the lexicon of human genomic variation and suggesting much variation remains to be discovered in African-admixed populations in the Americas. We summarize genetic variation in these populations, quantifying the postcolonial sex-biased European gene flow across multiple regions. Moreover, we refine estimates on the burden of deleterious variants carried across populations and how this varies with African ancestry. Our data are an important resource for empowering disease mapping studies in African-admixed individuals and will facilitate gene discovery for diseases disproportionately affecting individuals of African ancestry.

Abstract
A cancer-specific form of NADH oxidase inhibited or stimulated by 1 or 100 microM capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-noneamide) is present in sera from cancer patients. The capsaicin-inhibited NADH oxidase activity appears to be absent from sera of individuals free of cancer. The capsaicin-inhibited activity is present both in freshly collected sera and in sera stored frozen for varying periods of time. For the latter, an assay was carried out under renaturing conditions in the presence of NADH and reduced glutathione followed by dilute hydrogen peroxide. Inhibition was half maximal at about 1 microM capsaicin. The capsaicin-inhibited activity was found in sera over a broad spectrum of cancer patients including patients with solid cancers (e.g., breast, prostate, lung, ovarian) as well as with leukemias and lymphomas.
