The epidemiological assessment of wine consumption usually has been obtained using self-reporting questionnaires. In this study, two metabolomic approaches, targeted and untargeted, were applied to 24-h urine samples from a cohort of La Rioja (Spain) (aged 52-78), comparing moderate and daily wine consumers (20 males and 13 females) without diet intervention, versus non-consumers (8 males and 35 females). Results showed that the non-targeted metabolomics approach has allowed for the annotation of sixteen compounds in 24-h urine samples from regular wine-consumers that were not detected in the urine of non-wine consumers.

This method is adapted for the first time to learn spatio-temporal dynamics, accounting for two-dimensional spatial and one temporal coordinate inputs separately. The estimator is validated on real agricultural data, addressing challenges like measurement noise and quantization.

- A study in Ecuador examined the effects of PFASs and pesticides on lung function in 381 adolescents, measuring their exposure to specific substances and assessing lung health over six years.
- Individual substances like PFOA, glyphosate, and ethylene thiourea showed slight associations with lung function improvements, but most other exposures did not have significant effects.
- Overall, the results suggest no strong evidence linking PFASs and pesticides with lung function changes in this population, especially after adjusting for various factors like household income and tobacco exposure.
Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (ICI-P) is a condition associated with high mortality, necessitating prompt recognition and treatment initiation. This study aimed to assess the impact of implementing a clinical care pathway algorithm on reducing the time to treatment for ICI-P.
Methods: Patients with lung cancer and suspected ICI-P were enrolled, and a multimodal intervention promoting algorithm use was implemented in two phases.
