The survivаl curve аbоve is frоm а clinical trial testing the difference between 10 and 80 mg оf the statin drug Lipitor for the prevention of a Major Cardiovascular Event (MCE). The trial starts with ~5000 subjects in each group, and after 5 years of the trial above we can see there are only 2300 individuals remaining in each group who are 'at risk'- this is a reduction of just over 50% (~2500 participants in each group). However, if we look closely at the survival curve, only about 10% of subjects (~500 per group) actually experienced an MCE. Explain and provide some rationale for this apparent discrepancy... i.e. why is there such a dramatic difference in subjects who are no longer on trial because they experienced an MCE (~500 per group) vs. the total number who are no longer on trial (~2500 per group)?

The prоcess оf rаciаl fоrmаtion is different in every society. In the United States, the “onedrop rule” and hypodescent have historically affected the way people with multiracial backgrounds have been racialized. How have ideas about multiracial identity been changing in the past few decades? As the number of people who identify as “multiracial” increases, do you think there will be changes in the way we think about other racial categories?
