Introduction: To date, surveillance of vaping among Canadians (using vaping products with or without nicotine) has largely been examined with respect to age and smoking status. However, a nationally representative examination of a broad set of characteristics is lacking. This study characterized Canadians aged 15 years and older who vape, stratified by smoking status.

- TROP2 is a promising target for antibody-drug conjugates in treating aggressive breast cancers, but its role as a predictive marker remains unclear.
- Researchers compared different methods for assessing TROP2 levels in breast cancer tissues to establish reliable evaluation criteria.
- Findings suggest using HER2 IHC guidelines for TROP2 assessment is effective and may lead to better predictions of treatment responses in future studies.
Metal chalcogenide nanoparticles have been attracting extensive attention in diverse fields. Traditionally these nanoparticles are stabilized by organic ligands such as thiols and amines involving nonconjugated core-ligand interfacial interactions. In the present study, a facile wet-chemistry method is described for the synthesis of palladium disulfide (PdS) nanoparticles capped with acetylene derivatives.

We aimed to assess whether a combination of clinical, biochemical, and imaging parameters could predict skeletal metastases in patients with [F]PSMA-1007 bone focal uptake, aiding in result interpretation. We retrospectively analyzed [F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT performed in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (PCa) patients at 3 tertiary-level cancer centers.
