Every year, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is diagnosed in a growing number of the Americans. Consequently, an extensive amount of research has been dedicated to understanding this disease, and identifying which factors contribute to its symptoms. A large portion of this research has been focused on diet. This paper outlines some of the common diets that are recommended to help those with IBD. The diets discussed are the specific carbohydrate diet, IBD-AID, enteral/parenteral nutrition, low – FODMAP diet, and exclusion diet. It was found that there is a lot of overlap between these diets. Several foods such as corn, dairy, and processed meats were on the avoidance list for more than one diet. Additionally, several diets recommend including probiotic and prebiotic foods each day. From the research gathered in this paper, it is recommended to create an individualized diet with a team of healthcare professionals, using the diets discussed as a guide. While diet is only one of many lifestyle choices that can affect the symptoms of IBD, it is an important one to consider, and can greatly impact the quality of life for patients.

The United States healthcare system plays a very important role in everyone’s lives. Americans rely on the system for their overall health and well-being. It is imperative that all Americans have equal access to and quality of healthcare services and healthcare should not differentiate between minorities and nonminorities. The Hispanic population does not have or receive equitable healthcare in comparison to their nonHispanic white counterparts. Due to extreme gaps in quality of and access to care, Hispanics are at risk to endure worse health outcomes. This review dives into defining the necessary definitions of healthcare and racial disparities, looks at what causes these disparities and gaps in care, what outcomes are more prevalent in the Hispanic American population because of the inequities, what solutions are already in place to combat these issues and finally, what solutions need to be implemented at the administration level of healthcare organizations to better treat the Hispanic population in the ways in which they deserve.

Was Israel’s early successful vaccine rollout enough to get their population vaccinated in a timely and sufficient manner? This paper will dive into this question by approaching it from the lens of supply and demand. Factors that enabled their successful supply chain management of vaccines will be contrasted against demand constraints to illustrate that while Israel was successful in obtaining vaccines for their population, they ultimately, similarly to other countries, faced issues with vaccine hesitancy and reaching full coverage.
