Article Synopsis
- Oral second primary tumors (SPTs) are often diagnosed late, leading to poor prognosis, and this study investigates demographic and clinicopathological factors that could predict SPT risk.
- Among 296 patients studied, 8% developed SPTs, with older age and a history of chewing tobacco/betel nut identified as significant risk factors, and the presence of second oral premalignant lesions (SOPLs) further increasing this risk.
- The study emphasizes the importance of identifying SOPLs through routine biopsies, suggesting that incorporating these risk factors into clinical follow-up could improve early detection and patient outcomes.

- - The National Healthy Food and Drink Policy, introduced in New Zealand's public hospitals in 2016, aimed to provide healthier food options for staff and visitors, with a study assessing its implementation from 1 to 5 years after its initiation.

Five years later, eight (of 20) organisations had adopted it, with several preferring to retain or update their own institutional-level version. This study assessed staff and visitors' awareness and support for and against the Policy, and collected feedback on perceived food environment changes since implementation of the Policy.
