Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeinated chewing gum on female softball pitching and hitting performance in trained female softball fielders and pitchers.

Methods: Twenty-four trained female softball players (10 pitchers and 14 fielders) were divided into a caffeine chewing gum trial (CAF) or a placebo trial (PLA) in a single-blind, randomized, crossover experimental design. Two pieces of gum containing 100 mg of caffeine (CAF) or without caffeine (PLA) were chewed for 10 minutes and then spit out, followed by a 15-minute warm-up.

Refining the scope of genetic influences on alcohol misuse through environmental stratification and gene-environment interaction.

Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychology and Psychiatry, Section Complex Trait Genetics, Amsterdam Neuroscience, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Background: Gene-environment interaction (G × E) is likely an important influence shaping individual differences in alcohol misuse (AM), yet it has not been extensively studied in molecular genetic research. In this study, we use a series of genome-wide gene-environment interaction (GWEIS) and in silico annotation methods with the aim of improving gene identification and biological understanding of AM.

Methods: We carried out GWEIS for four AM phenotypes in the large UK Biobank sample (N = 360,314), with trauma exposure and socioeconomic status (SES) as moderators of the genetic effects.

poisoning due to calcium oxalate needle crystals in Japan.

J Rural Med

July 2024

Department of Acute Critical Care Medicine, Shizuoka Hospital, Juntendo University, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The investigation focused on damage cases caused by a specific plant species in Japan, particularly from a hospital in Shizuoka Prefecture and reviewed previous reports.
  • The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, leading to severe poisoning symptoms like oral pain, nausea, and potential asphyxia, often confused with Satoimo due to its similar appearance.
  • Immediate action includes spitting out the plant and rinsing the mouth; medical intervention may be needed for airway management if asphyxiation is possible.

Dental caries is a widespread oral health issue in Asia, affecting an estimated 30% to 90% of children and adults. Many caries cases remain untreated, resulting in pain and infection. In response, the Asian Academy of Preventive Dentistry (AAPD) emphasises comprehensive caries management and organised a fluoride workshop at the 15th International Conference of the AAPD in 2023.
