Do you know that over 7,000 rare diseases exist worldwide, and even though each one is rare individually, together they affect over 400 million people? In addition to the hundreds of millions of people who care for them, do you also know that half of all rare disease patients are children, 30% of whom will tragically die before the age of five? Rare diseases are often unknown and underappreciated because they are rare. Research on rare diseases is limited. Medical education may not provide students with the necessary information to diagnose a rare disease, and patients may be unfamiliar with the symptoms. These factors can combine to delay the diagnosis of a rare disease. When a diagnosis is made, there may be few treatment options available due to a lack of research in the area. To address this, Elsevier is marking World Rare Disease Day, February 28th, by launching the Year of the Zebra – a global initiative that will run throughout 2023.
Should medical professionals wear symbols of support for diverse populations? Wearing a supportive pin can help diverse patients feel more welcome in the clinic — but is it appropriate? A medical student explores the pros and cons. "Recently, I raised the idea of medical providers wearing an LGBTQ+ pin on their white coats as a show of support for a marginalized and discriminated group. Since I was sharing this idea online, I was prepared to receive some negative comments about my suggestion. What I wasn’t prepared for was that some of the opposing comments would make me reflect on the idea that it is OK... read more.

As challenges mount for researchers in Ukraine, a professor in Kyiv talks about her experience — and how we can help Ukrainian researchers. On February 24, 2022, Nana’s life changed dramatically, along with the lives of so many people in her country, as Russian forces invaded the country. Nana recalled: "A day later, we were forced to leave Kyiv, since a part of the region was occupied. Most of our laboratory fellows moved to the Carpathian mountains in the west of Ukraine with us." Part of the reason for the move was misinformation spread by Moscow propagandists that there were secret genetic weapons in labs in Ukraine, funded by the United States. Nana and her colleagues feared that this could make them a target because their laboratory uses various genetic approaches — as is the case with most research in biomedicine today — and they have a grant from the US National Institutes of Health devoted to studies of neuro-immune interaction.

“It felt like returning home”: Why I’ve come back to work at Elsevier. Three years ago, Jess Pritchard left Elsevier for a role at a large telecommunications company. It was an excellent opportunity for her to develop her skill set, but she missed the sense of purpose of working at Elsevier. As she explained: "I quickly discovered that I am mission-driven, and helping large corporations acquire telecommunications resources wasn’t inspiring for me." Jess, based in Philadelphia, rejoined Elsevier in 2020 as a Commercial Manager on the Clinical Solutions Commercial team. “It really felt like returning home,” she recalled...
