Metabolomics profiles alterations in cigarette smokers and heated tobacco product users
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that the glutamate pathway is affected by habitual smoking. These changes in the glutamate pathway may partly explain the mechanism by which cigarette smoking causes cardiovascular disease. HTP use was also associated with glutamate metabolism, indicating that HTP use may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease through mechanisms similar to those in cigarette use.PMID:37926518 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230170 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer death locations in Japan: an analysis up to February 2023 on excess mortality
ConclusionOur study found a shift in cancer death locations from medical institutions to homes in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our study did not confirm an overall increase in cancer deaths during this period. As with global trends, the profound shift from hospitals to homes in Japan calls for a comprehensive exploration to grasp the pandemic's multifaceted impact on end-of-life cancer care decisions.PMID:37866926 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230235 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Revisiting older drivers' risks of at-fault motor vehicle collisions in Japan
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of at-fault MVCs increased with the advancing age of drivers after middle age; however, this risk among older drivers did not exceed that among young drivers, without posing a high risk of injuries to their collided counterparts.PMID:37813621 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230217 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)
