A total of 777 male undergraduates were randomly selected from different faculties of Kuwait University. Their mean age was 20.2 yr. (SD +/- 1.4). The respondents were administered a precoded questionnaire: 42.2% of these students reported themselves to be cigarette smokers, and 56.5% reported being nonsmokers.

Cranial variation across spiny pocket mice (Heteromys, Liomys) in new phylogenetic and taxonomic perspectives.
Zoology (Jena)
January 2025
Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32306-4295, USA.
Spiny pocket mice are usually divided into two genera, Heteromys and Liomys, and more recently the latter have been subsumed into the former, leaving subfamily Heteromyinae with one genus. However, this arrangement conveys false equivalency among heteromyines, and does not represent the great morphological, molecular, and ecological diversity in this subfamily. To address this, geometric morphometric methods were used to explore interspecific cranial variation in this subfamily, which were then evaluated in the context of recent phylogenetic and taxonomic findings.

Intensive Care Med
January 2025
Global Health Research Group in Acquired Brain and Spine Injuries, Cambridge, UK.
Background: Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this consensus was to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.

MASK-air, Montpellier, France.
Background And Objectives: The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines classify rhinitis as "intermittent" or "persistent" and "mild" or "moderate-severe". To assess ARIA classes in a real-world study in terms of phenotypic differences and their association with asthma.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional real-world study based on users of the MASK-air® app who reported data for at least 3 different months.
Background The critical view of safety (CVS) is a critical technique to minimize the risk of bile duct injuries (BDIs) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study evaluated the rate of CVS achievement and examined factors influencing its success. Methods This prospective study included 97 patients undergoing LC.

Orthopedic Surgery, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz University Hospital, Riyadh, SAU.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) results from median nerve compression and may lead to significant pain. Surgical management through release is the gold standard approach for severe CTS patients. Gabapentin is used as an analgesic drug, but data on its postoperative effects on pain assessment and safety measures are unclear.
