E-noise: An increasingly relevant health risk.

Published: September 2019

This article briefly reviews and discusses the current status of major non-communicable diseases (mNCDs), definition of e-noise, its possible link as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and other mNCDs, and proposes possible mechanisms and hypotheses on that link, and how to control e-noise in the future. E-noise is defined as signal from electronic products and instruments that emit radiation and electromagnetic fields. It includes not only the acoustic but also non-acoustic noise. Just like road traffic and aircraft noises, e-noise may not only lead to hearing loss and health problems such as fatigue, stress, irritability, headache, and insomnia, but may also endanger cardiovascular health and result in hypertension, ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction), arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation) and stroke; brain and metabolic problems such as obesity and diabetes; mental and cognitive impairment; as well as changing of humans' long-evolved cortisol and circadian rhythms after long-term exposure. Even short-term exposure to excessive e-noise may lead to heightened stress responses and low quality of life. In conclusion, e-noise is a potential danger in our world, and further studies are needed of its effects on mechanisms of aging, disease, and human health.

The association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and multimorbidity of non-communicable chronic diseases trajectory in offspring.

BMC Public Health

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Precision Nutrition and Health, Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Ministry of Education, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, 150081, P. R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) affects the development and progression of multiple non-communicable chronic diseases (MNCDs) in their offspring, a topic that has not been thoroughly researched before.
  • It involved a large cohort of over 318,000 adults, tracking their health over 70 years to analyze the links between MSDP, the occurrence of first NCDs, and the shift towards MNCDs and subsequent mortality.
  • The results indicated that MSDP significantly raised the risk of developing MNCDs and increased mortality rates, particularly among those offspring who also smoke.

Purpose: This systematic review covers the current stage of research on subtle cognitive impairment with connected speech. It aims at surveying the linguistic features in use to single out those that can best identify patients with mild neurocognitive disorders (mNCDs), whose cognitive changes remain underdiagnosed.

Method: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines and proposed a full definition of features for the analysis of speech features.

Background: Published studies on the association between lithium use and the decreased risk of major neurocognitive disorders (MNCDs) have shown disparities in their conclusions. We aimed to provide updated evidence of this association.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from inception until August 31, 2023.

The contrast agents and tumor treatments currently used in clinical practice are far from satisfactory, due to the specificity of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Identification of diagnostic and therapeutic reagents with strong contrast and therapeutic effect remains a great challenge. Herein, a novel carbon dot nanozyme (Mn-CD) is synthesized for the first time using toluidine blue (TB) and manganese as raw materials.
