The carcinogenic danger of the commercial smoked herring was assessed. The edible part of the smoked herring contains 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons whose bulk consists of phenanthrene, pyrene, floranthene, and benzo(b)fluoranthene. The content of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) in the cold and hot smoked herring are 189 and 291 ng/kg, respectively. It is lower than the present standard values. The proportion of carcinogenic danger of BP is 32% for cold smoked herring and 34% for hot smoked herring.

School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Background And Objectives: Tobacco use is known to affect incidence and postoperative outcome for several neurosurgical disorders, but its relationship to trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is not known. We sought to identify unique population characteristics that correlate with tobacco use in a cohort of patients with TN who underwent microvascular decompression (MVD), including effect on long-term postoperative outcome.
Methods: Data about 171 patients with classic TN treated with MVD were obtained from a prospectively maintained registry.
Identifying the Determinants of Hookah Smoking Among the Youth; A Mixed-Methods Study.

School of Public Health, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Hookah use is increasing among youth in the U.S., but there is limited research on the factors driving this trend, prompting a study to identify these determinants using the Social Ecological Model.
- The study involved 20 participants aged 18-24 from Virginia and California, utilizing surveys, interviews, and focus groups, revealing that participants smoked hookah a median of 5 times in the past month.
- Key factors influencing hookah use included a lack of awareness about health risks, peer and family influence, cultural acceptance, and the easy availability of hookah bars, highlighting the need for public health interventions to educate young people about the dangers of hookah smoking.
The correlation between the frequent intake of dietary migraine triggers and increased clinical features of migraine (analytical cross-sectional study from Egypt).

Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, 11651, Egypt.
Despite the high prevalence of primary headaches, the role of food in modifying clinical characteristics among migraine patients is often overlooked. The aim is to detect the correlation between adopting unhealthy dietary habits and migraine severity and identify foods that have a greater chance of triggering specific subtypes of migraine. The present study was a cross-sectional analytical study that was conducted at Kasralainy Hospital, Cairo University, headache clinic at Alexandria University Hospital, and Al-Azhar University Hospitals from January to June 2020.

Background: Certain associations observed in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS) contrasted with other research or were from areas with mixed findings, including no decrease in odds of spina bifida with periconceptional folic acid supplementation, moderately increased cleft palate odds with ondansetron use and reduced hypospadias odds with maternal smoking.
Objectives: To investigate the plausibility and extent of differential participation to produce effect estimates observed in NBDPS.
Methods: We searched the literature for factors related to these exposures and participation and conducted deterministic quantitative bias analyses.
