Mental and Physical Health Comorbidities in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Non-TBI Controls Comparison
CONCLUSION: TBI was associated with greater mental, but not physical, health comorbidities in the decades following injury. However, physical and mental health comorbidities significantly impacted emotional and HRQoL status after TBI, underscoring a greater need for long-term support for individuals with TBI coping with both physical and mental health comorbidities.PMID:38521496 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2024.03.005 (Source: Health Physics)

Telephone-Based Rehabilitation Intervention to Optimize Activity Participation After Breast Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, the intervention catalyzed greater improvements in self-selected activity participation and goal disengagement but did not otherwise accelerate recovery compared with the control condition. Future research should determine what intervention features may lead to the greatest reductions in participation restrictions and other measures that may detect functional recovery.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03915548.PMID:38517442 | DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.2478 (Source: Cancer Control)

Patterns in Tobacco, E-Cigarette, and Cannabis Advertising Exposure Among California Adolescents and Associations With Future Use Expectations
CONCLUSION: California adolescents' exposure to tobacco, e-cigarette, and cannabis marketing is common, follows similar patterns, and is associated with use susceptibility. Comprehensive restrictions on marketing accessible to adolescents could help prevent youth use.PMID:38509707 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2330912 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Knowledge and perceptions of pelvic floor disorders and the impact of television advertisement on women in a major metropolitan area
The utilization of synthetic mesh in pelvic reconstructive survey continues to be a controversial subject due to a wide variance in patient perspective. Despite having a multitude of data on synthetic mesh currently in use, data on current patient perspectives is limited to small sample sizes. Specifically, there is a lack of information on whether legal advertisements have an impact on patient decisions to undergo surgery. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Women in spine surgery: can we change the society?
ConclusionWomen in surgery, mainly in neurosurgery, are being treated by society in an unequal way. Female surgeons are still discriminated because of their gender. The most patients prefer female physicians to talk to, but still believe that they are incapable to perform spine surgery. We cannot stop this until we change our mindset and perception of reality.

Epistle
The alarming rise in vaping and the use of e-cigarettes by children and young persons (CYP) is a topical issue.1 Although vaping nicotine and its toxic by-products have been established to have many harmful effects, e-cigarette use has been misleadingly advertised as a viable strategy in aiding smoking cessation. There is, however, limited evidence to support this suggestion. This perception that vaping products are safe and harmless compared with combustible tobacco, together with attractive advertising and media influences, have contributed to the growing popularity of e-cigarettes among the young. Over the years, approp...

IQOS and cigarette advertising across regulatory periods and population groups in Israel: a longitudinal analysis
Conclusions IQOS and cigarette advertisements varied over time and appeared to have been impacted by regulatory changes. PMI invested more in IQOS advertisements than in cigarettes, with a partial advertisement ban decreasing both products’ advertisements. PMI might be targeting the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish population which has a low smoking rate. Further research and surveillance are needed to better understand targeting strategies in order to inform tobacco control policy. (Source: Tobacco Control)

The impact of cigarette prices on smoking onset and cessation: evidence from Vietnam
Conclusion Vietnam should continue to increase excise taxes on tobacco products to reduce smoking onset. Since smokers are resilient to excise tax increases, other tobacco control policies, such as smoke-free areas and tobacco advertisement bans, should be better enforced to encourage people to quit. Other policies not yet implemented, such as plain packaging of tobacco products, may also encourage smokers to quit. (Source: Tobacco Control)
