Factors associated with miscarriage in Nepal: Evidence from Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys, 2001 –2016
This study aims to examine the factors associated with miscarriage among pregnant women of reproductive age (15 –49 years) in the past 15 years. MethodsThere were a total of weighted sample of 26,376 cross-sectional pregnancy data from Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS) 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016 combined together, which was used in the study. Multilevel logistic regression analysis that adjusted for cluster and survey weights was used to identify factors associated with miscarriage among pregnant women of reproductive age in Nepal. ResultsThe results showed that maternal age, contraception, tobacco smoking, wea...

Financial incentive interventions for smoking cessation among Chinese smokers: study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial
Introduction There is an urgent issue to relieve the burdens caused by tobacco use through feasible and effective smoking cessation interventions, particularly in a middle-income country with less accessible smoking cessation services and high demand for quitting smoking. Financial incentives have shown effective in changing health behaviours, thus needing to test its portability to a wider implementation and effectiveness of increasing smoking cessation rates. Methods and analysis This is a three-arm cluster randomised controlled trial. 462 eligible participants will be assigned to 2 financial incentive groups—rewa...

Prevalence and determinants of behavioral risk factors for noncommunicable diseases among students aged 13-19 years in Turkey
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of clustering of modifiable risk factors for NCDs was high among students aged 13-19 years in Turkey, and there is a need to mount effective interventions. Risk factors for these diseases are often preventable: Appropriate health interventions before, during, and after pregnancy as well as throughout childhood and adolescence can significantly reduce their prevalence.PMID:38679546 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2024.01.009 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

Cellular Senescence in Lung Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Interventions
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Apr 26:102315. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102315. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLung cancer stands as the primary contributor to cancer-related fatalities worldwide, affecting both genders. Two primary types exist where non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounts for 80-85% and SCLC accounts for 10-15% of cases. NSCLC subtypes include adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Smoking, second-hand smoke, radon gas, asbestos, and other pollutants, genetic predisposition, and COPD are lung cancer risk factors. On the other hand, stresses such as DNA damage, telomere shortening, and ...

A bupropion modulatory site in Gloeobacter violaceus ligand-gated ion channel

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBupropion is an atypical antidepressant and smoking cessation drug that causes adverse effects such as insomnia, irritability, and anxiety. Bupropion inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake transporters and eukaryotic cation-conducting pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs), such as nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) and serotonin type 3A (5-HT3A) receptors, at clinically relevant concentrations. Here, we demonstrate that bupropion also inhibits a prokaryotic homolog of pLGICs, the Gloeobacter violaceus liga...

Distribution of Urinary Trace Element Exposure and Dietary Sources in Women Over 50 in an Agricultural Region- A community-based KoGES cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Our study underscores the significant gap in understanding urinary concentrations of trace elements in women aged over 50. With higher concentrations of certain elements compared to previous studies and significant correlations between age, smoking, and specific food sources, it is imperative to address this gap through targeted dietary source-specific risk management.PMID:38679278 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118973 (Source: Environmental Research)
