Primate Behavior and the Importance of Comparative Studies in Biological Anthropology.

Biological anthropology seeks to understand humans from an evolutionary perspective. Namely, what makes humans different from other animals, and how did we get this way? Many relevant traits are physical, but many others are behavioral. For example, when and why did our species develop complex cognition, enduring bonds, and intense cooperation? Given the importance of behavior, biological anthropologists have a long history of turning to our primate relatives to generate hypotheses about the evolutionary processes shaping humans.

'I'm glad my baby has weaned so I don't need to make that decision.' Understanding breastfeeding-related COVID-19 vaccine narratives on social media.

Issue Addressed: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the infodemic has been highly visible. Vaccine-related advice and evidence-based guidelines for breastfeeding women have lagged, and, at times have been contradictory and confusing. Breastfeeding is an important public health issue with long-lasting health benefits for infants and mothers.

Cross-sectional associations between clinical biochemistry and nutritional biomarkers and sarcopenic indices of skeletal muscle in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.

Background: Investigating relationships between nutritional and clinical biochemistry biomarkers and skeletal muscle mass, strength and function (sarcopenic indices) may: (i) highlight micronutrients of interest for potential preventive or treatment strategies for sarcopenia, or (ii) highlight biomarkers that may be useful for identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia.

Objectives: Investigate associations between nutritional biomarkers (vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron), clinical biomarkers (haemoglobin, ferritin, albumin, creatinine, HbA1c) and sarcopenic indices (appendicular lean mass (ALM), height-adjusted ALM (ALM), fat-free mass percentage of body weight (FFM%), extended short physical performance battery score (SPPB), and height-adjusted hand grip strength (HGS) and knee extension concentric (KEC) and isometric (KEI) strength) in men and women.

Design: Using multivariable linear regression analysis we investigated cross-sectional associations between biomarkers and sarcopenic indices in data collected from 1,761 participants (age 22-103 years) from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA).

Field-Portable Device for Detection of Controlled and Psychoactive Substances from e-Cigarettes.

Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are novel psychoactive substances (NPS) that are highly potent and associated with a range of severe toxicities. SC use, which is common in UK prisons and homeless communities, typically involves combustion of SC-soaked herb or paper material. Recently, e-cigarettes (or vapes) have emerged as popular delivery vehicles for SCs, and consumption among the general population has risen significantly.
