Article Synopsis
  • There is an increasing interest in vasectomies following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, highlighting their safety and cost-effectiveness compared to tubal sterilization.
  • Health care providers from Title X-funded clinics were interviewed to understand the cultural, gender, and political influences on men's decisions to seek vasectomies.
  • Key barriers identified included income challenges, language barriers, medical distrust, and traditional gender roles, but many men expressed a strong desire to take responsibility for contraception and contribute to reproductive health equity.

The eradication of the commercial tobacco industry is a crucial goal for health and well-being, particularly from a public health and health justice perspective. The term 'eradication' is applied in epidemiology to mean the process and outcome of elimination of the-commercial tobacco industry as a human-made-agent of disease and death. In this commentary, we outline why the eradication of the tobacco industry is necessary, urgent and realistic.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the toxicity and mechanisms of two synthetic cannabinoids, JWH-018 and JWH-019, in mice, zebrafish, and human kidney cells, despite the lack of information linking their chemical structures to toxicity.
  • JWH-018 caused significant cannabinoid-like effects in mice and anxiogenic behaviors in zebrafish, which were blocked by a specific receptor antagonist, while JWH-019 did not produce similar effects.
  • Molecular docking revealed key amino acids in the cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) that influence how these substances interact with the receptor, highlighting important differences in their binding and activation mechanisms.
