Traditional Indigenous-Amazonian Therapy Involving Ceremonial Tobacco Drinking as Medicine: A Transdisciplinary Multi-Epistemic Observational Study.
Health Educ Behav
December 2024
University of Fribourg, Fribourg, Switzerland.
Although the tobacco plant has been employed as a medicinal and sacred herb by Indigenous cultures across the Americas, its usage drastically changed after the 15th-century colonial arrival; its large-scale commodification and global marketing once brought to Europe lead to hedonic and addictive uses harmful to health. As a consequence, tobacco smoking is now one of the largest public health problems worldwide. However, in the Peruvian Amazon, a region of origin of tobacco species, Indigenous healers still know how to use the plant for therapeutic purposes.

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic general practitioners (GP) practice teams were temporally confronted with major challenges which were accompanied by changes in practice organization and service provision. So far, little has been known about the views of patients who visited the GP practice for other than COVID-related reasons with regard to provision and use of GP services, the adjustments in the practice and the work of the practice team members.
Methods: The patient survey is a sub-study of the mixed-methods study VeCo-Praxis (GP healthcare for patients not suffering from COVID during the Corona pandemic) of the research practice network RESPoNsE (Research Practice Network East), which was conducted in the federal states of Berlin, Brandenburg and Thuringia.
Timely Questions Emerging in Chronobiology: The Circadian Clock Keeps on Ticking.
J Circadian Rhythms
April 2024
Department of Biology, University of York, York YO105DD, UK.
Chronobiology investigations have revealed much about cellular and physiological clockworks but we are far from having a complete mechanistic understanding of the physiological and ecological implications. Here we present some unresolved questions in circadian biology research as posed by the editorial staff and guest contributors to the Journal of Circadian Rhythms. This collection of ideas is not meant to be comprehensive but does reveal the breadth of our observations on emerging trends in chronobiology and circadian biology.

The main objective is to efficiently meet pulsed load (PL) demands and extract maximum energy from the photovoltaic (PV) array. The proposed approach establishes a simple IF-THEN set of rules to define the search space, including PV, battery bank (BB), and ultracapacitor (UC) constraints.

Department of Paediatric Cardiology, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium.
Introduction: Imaging fusion technology is promising as it is radiation and contrast sparing. Herein, we compare conventional biplane angiography to multimodality image fusion with live fluoroscopy using two-dimensional (2D)-three-dimensional (3D) registration (MMIF) and assess MMIF impact on radiation exposure and contrast volume during cardiac catheterization of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).
Methods: We matched institutional MMIF procedures and controls according to patient characteristics (body mass index, age, and gender) and the seven procedure-type subgroups.
