Background: California's relatively low smoking rate (10.1% in 2019-2020) (About CHIS, UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, 2024) masks deep disparities among low-income populations, where smoking rates are nearly double that of their middle- to upper-income peers. Low-income smokers report a similar desire to quit and similar rates of recent quit attempts as smokers from other groups; yet, they often face barriers in accessing effective resources to facilitate successful cessation.

- * Researchers used a technique involving sulfonate functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Ir complexes and a special structural framework called a G-sphere to create these nanoclusters through hydrogen reduction.
- * The resulting nanoclusters (1.8 ± 0.4 nm) exhibited a narrow size distribution and were highly effective as catalysts for hydrogenating 4-nitrostyrene, showcasing superior selectivity compared to larger, non-encapsulated Ir clusters.
Commercial blueberry Vaccinium spp. (Ericales: Ericaceae) production relies on insect-mediated pollination. Pollination is mostly provided by rented honey bees, Apis mellifera L.

- * A study involving blood and urine samples from both ADPKD patients and healthy volunteers revealed significant increases in toxic bile acids among the ADPKD group.
- * The results suggest that elevated bile acids and specific compounds may heighten the risk of drug-induced liver injury and drug interactions in ADPKD patients due to impaired liver transport mechanisms.
