- Exercise is crucial for health but has seen a rise in craniofacial injuries, particularly during weightlifting, prompting an analysis of trends and demographics over the past decade.
- A review of National Electronic Injury Surveillance System data revealed nearly 583,000 injuries from 2013 to 2022, with males and adolescents aged 15-19 being the most affected groups.
- Findings highlight the necessity for targeted injury prevention strategies and increased awareness of the risks linked to craniofacial injuries during exercise, especially for certain vulnerable populations.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by stereotyped and repetitive behavior patterns. In addition to neurological and behavioral problems, individuals with ASD commonly experience otolaryngological comorbidities. Individuals with ASD often have auditory disorders including hearing loss and auditory processing disorders such as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), as well as both chronic and recurrent otitis media.

- - The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended halting trampoline sales in the U.S. due to documented injury risks, yet trampoline parks continue to be popular and are associated with serious injuries, particularly craniofacial trauma among youth.
- - A study reviewing data from 2013 to 2022 found approximately 206,866 trampoline-related craniofacial injuries, with males affected more often than females, and common injury types including lacerations and internal injuries.
- - There is a notable increase in head and facial injuries, especially among children aged 3 to 11, highlighting the need for better regulations and targeted safety measures to prevent these injuries in trampoline activities.
We disclose a method for sequential Conia-ene-type cyclization/Negishi coupling for the union of alkynyl ketones and aryl iodides. This process is promoted through cooperative actions of Lewis acidic B(C6F5)3, ZnI2, Pd-based complex, and a Brønsted basic amine. The three Lewis acid catalysts with potential overlapping functions play their independent roles as activators of carbonyl group, alkyne moiety, and alkenyl zinc intermediate, respectively.

Objective: Use of electronic cigarettes has increased across the world in the last decade with heavy investment from the tobacco industry targeting younger population through well-designed marketing campaigns portraying e-cigarettes as harmless, less addictive and effective in smoking cessation while delivering higher nicotine concentration. The safety profile of e-cigarettes is reviewed in this paper.
Conclusions: The safety of e-cigarettes and the chemicals they contain have not been evaluated rigorously.
