Aims: This research aims to assess the nature and extent of alcohol marketing through sport sponsorship over a summer of televised sport in New Zealand.
Methods: Frequency analysis of New Zealand television broadcasts of five international sporting events during the summer of 2014-2015. Broadcasts were analysed to identify the percentage of time when alcohol brands were visible during game-play. The number of independent alcohol brand exposures was recorded.
Results: Alcohol brands were observed during every televised event. Audiences were exposed to between 1.6 and 3.8 alcohol brand exposures per minute. Alcohol brands were visible between 42 and 777 times across the games examined. For three out of the five events alcohol brands were visible for almost half of the game.
Conclusion: Alcohol sponsorship was prevalent in international sport on New Zealand television. Given the popularity of broadcast sport, especially with children, there is an urgent need for regulation of alcohol sponsorship of sport. There are viable models of alcohol sponsorship replacement but their implementation requires the will of both sporting organisations and politicians. This research adds weight to arguments to implement recommendations to remove all alcohol sponsorship of sport.

Electrocatalytic organic oxidation coupled with hydrogen (H) production emerges as a profitable solution to simultaneously reduce overall energy consumption of H production and synthetic high-value chemicals. Noble metal catalysts are highly efficient electrocatalysts in oxidation reactions, but they deactivate easily weakening the benefit in actual production. Herein, we report a universal asymmetric pulse potential strategy to achieve long-term stable operation of noble metals for various alcohol oxidation reactions and noble metal catalysts.

Article Synopsis
- - For-profit cannabis companies in Canada have heavily invested in research, similar to industries like pharmaceuticals and tobacco, but these financial ties may influence research agendas and outcomes, leading to potential conflicts of interest.
- - A study involving 38 interviews with researchers revealed that while Canadian cannabis researchers aim to produce quality work for public health benefits, they face ethical dilemmas regarding the influence of industry sponsorship.
- - Researchers employed personal values and strategies like transparency and independence to manage their relationships with the cannabis industry, aiming to navigate the complexities of these affiliations while maintaining research integrity.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to find out what factors contribute to sleep-related injuries (SRI) and persistent sleep-related injuries (pSRI) in patients with isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD).
- A retrospective review of 388 iRBD patients showed that 83% reported a history of SRI, with some suffering severe injuries, and factors like depressive symptoms, alcohol consumption, and certain EMG activity were linked to these injuries.
- Despite treatment, 18% of patients continued to experience pSRI over an average follow-up of 5.1 years, highlighting the need for better safety measures and targeted screening for those at risk.

Article Synopsis
- Historically, musculoskeletal (MSK) tumors have been treated separately, but the complications from metastases, like pain and fractures, require a team of experts to decide on the best treatments, including surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
- * Recently, minimally invasive interventional therapies, particularly image-guided ablation techniques, have gained traction as promising options to effectively treat MSK tumors, offering less invasive alternatives.
- * Imaging methods like CT, which is preferred for its accessibility, guide these interventions, which include techniques like radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation, sometimes combined with other treatments for better tumor control.
