A new type of partially substituted 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate-(3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)-propylsilyl-appended silica particles (MP-CD-HPS) have been prepared by a convenient post-immobilization derivazition procedure. The MP-CD-HPS has been successfully used as chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) under normal phase, reversed phase and polar organic mobile phase conditions. The chromatographic evaluation results show that the MP-CD-HPS has excellent selectivity for the separation of aromatic positional isomers and enantiomers of some chiral compounds. The multi-mode HPLC separation results also indicate that both the stable ether spacer linking to the wider torus rim of β-cyclodextrin in the MP-CD-HPS phase and the hydroxyl residues in the partially substituted β-cyclodextrin have important contributions to chiral recognitions and chromatographic separations.

Background: In May 2020, Oakland became the most populous city in California to implement a minimum floor price law (MFPL), requiring tobacco retailers to sell cigarettes and cigars at $8 or more per pack/package. Policy enforcement began in August 2020.
Methods: We estimated changes in cigarette and cigar prices and unit sales for Oakland versus a matched comparator during the first 20 months following MFPL implementation using a synthetic difference-in-differences approach.

Carob pulp is a valuable source of cellulose-rich fraction (CRF) for many food applications. This study aimed to obtain and characterize a CRF derived from carob pulp waste after sugar removal and to evaluate its potential use in the 3D printing of cellulose-rich foods. Thus, the extraction of the CRF present in carob pulp (by obtaining the alcohol-insoluble residue) was carried out, accounting for nearly 45% dm (dry matter) of this byproduct.

The etiology of diffuse gingival enlargement is multifactorial, and the definitive diagnosis may be challenging. To highlight the nuances of the differential diagnosis, we present two cases of generalized gingival overgrowth and discuss the diagnostic dilemmas. In the first case, an 82-year-old male with a medical history of hypertension and prostatitis had a chief complaint of symptomatic oral lesions of a 20-day duration, accompanied by fever and loss of appetite.

Exposure to metals may potentially impact cognitive health in the elderly; however, the evidence remains ambiguous. The specific role of serum folate in this relationship is also unclear. We aimed to evaluate the individual and joint impact of metals on cognition in the elderly from the United States and explore the potential mediating effect of serum folate.
