Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand adolescents' perceptions and beliefs about cannabis consumption, focusing on factors that encourage or discourage its use.
- A systematic literature review identified 22 relevant qualitative studies published from 2000 to 2024, which assessed the views of adolescents aged 10 to 19.
- Findings revealed that adolescents commonly associated cannabis use with social and emotional well-being, perceived fewer adverse effects than with other drugs, and highlighted peer influence as a significant factor in consumption decisions.
Background: Several studies have estimated the impact of second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure on mortality in the population of different countries. This study aimed to identify and describe studies that have estimated the attributable mortality (AM) associated with SHS exposure in the adult population.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases up to January 2023.
Introduction: Occupational exposure role on small cell lung cancer (SCLC) onset has been little studied. Wood dust has been recognized as a human carcinogen, and many occupations have high wood-dust exposure. The aim of this study was therefore to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the scientific literature to summarize and analyse the risks of wood dust-related occupations on development of SCLC, taking tobacco use into account.

The objective of this study is to develop a validated Medline bibliographic search strategy (PubMed search engine) to systematically identify new or emerging health technologies.
Methods: The proposed Medline search strategy combines free text terms commonly used in article titles to denote innovation within index terms that make reference to the specific fields of interest.
