This study examines Francophone/Anglophone differences in levels and patterns of tobacco use and associated risk factors in the province of Ontario, Canada. Estimates are derived from the self-administered portion of the 1990 Ontario Health Survey, a random probability survey of Ontario residents. The sample consists of 1127 Francophones and a random subset of 4023 Anglophones. Evidence, unique to Francophones, indicates a steady age-related decline in the median age of onset of daily cigarette consumption. Unlike Anglophones, multivariate results reveal that Francophones age 35-44 are significantly more likely than all other age groups to smoke cigarettes daily and to smoke a pack or more daily. Sub-groups within Ontario's Francophone community may be experiencing health-related risks associated with frequent and heavy consumption of cigarettes, and thus may be in need of addiction-related services.

Diabetes Obes Metab
January 2025
National Engineering Research Center for Biomaterials, College of Biomedical Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, People's Republic of China.
Aim: To achieve glucose-activated transcriptional regulation of insulin analogue in skeletal muscle of T1D mice, thereby controlling blood glucose levels and preventing or mitigating diabetes-related complications.
Materials And Methods: We developed the GANIT (Glucose-Activated NFAT-regulated INSA-F Transcription) system, an innovative platform building upon the previously established intramuscular plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery and expression system. In the GANIT system, skeletal muscle cells are genetically engineered to endogenously produce the insulin analogue INSA-F (Insulin Aspart with Furin cleavage sites).

Background: Forecasting future public pharmaceutical expenditure is a challenge for healthcare payers, particularly owing to the unpredictability of new market introductions and their economic impact. No best-practice forecasting methods have been established so far. The literature distinguishes between the top-down approach, based on historical trends, and the bottom-up approach, using a combination of historical and horizon scanning data.
