Published: February 2023

We describe findings from peer-reviewed articles on digital tobacco marketing (DTM) using U.S. data related to youth, including research that examines use of age restrictions, DTM exposure and engagement, and associated tobacco use. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and EBSCOhost in May 2019 and May 2020 for published English language peer-reviewed articles examining DTM that were published from January 2016 to May 2020. Inclusion coding occurred in three stages. The first search identified 519 articles; 167 were coded for inclusion. The second search identified 189 articles; 67 were coded for inclusion. Two coders then assessed whether the included articles mentioned youth (age 18 and younger) or age restrictions in the method and results sections of the full text. Ultimately, 47 articles were included in this review. A codebook was developed and tested through training. Each article was coded for age restrictions, youth exposure to DTM, youth engagement with DTM, and youth tobacco use associated with DTM exposure or engagement. The studies reviewed indicate that DTM on social media was infrequently age-restricted and the stringency of age restriction varied by tobacco product, site owner, and channel. Youth reported being exposed to DTM frequently via the Internet. While youth reported less frequently engaging with DTM compared to being exposed, engagement increased over time. DTM exposure and engagement were associated with tobacco product use. The studies reviewed document an association between DTM exposure and engagement and future tobacco use; thus, DTM may be contributing to the youth tobacco epidemic.

Article Synopsis
  • Chlorpyrifos (CLP) and deltamethrin (DTM) are widely used insecticides that, when present together in water, pose significant risks to fish health and aquaculture sustainability.
  • A study on hook snout carp (O. bidens) showed that exposure to both chemicals for 30 days resulted in increased toxicity and oxidative stress, indicated by altered enzyme activities and immune-related gene expression.
  • The findings reveal that the combined exposure disrupts liver function, influences apoptotic regulation, and affects the overall health of fish, highlighting the ecological risks of using these pesticides together in aquatic environments.

Allergenic Activity of Individual Cat Allergen Molecules.

Int J Mol Sci

November 2023

Division of Immunopathology, Department of Pathophysiology and Allergy Research, Center for Pathophysiology, Infectiology and Immunology, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria.

More than 10% of the world's population suffers from an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy to cats which is accompanied mainly by respiratory symptoms such as rhinitis and asthma. Several cat allergen molecules have been identified, but their allergenic activity has not been investigated in depth. Purified cat allergen molecules (Fel d 1, Fel d 2, Fel d 3, Fel d 4, Fel d 6, Fel d 7 and Fel d 8) were characterized via mass spectrometry and circular dichroism spectroscopy regarding their molecular mass and fold, respectively.

Maintaining Cross-Border Cargo Movements Between Jordan and Saudi Arabia During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Saverio Bellizzi, MD, MSc, PhD, is a Consulting Medical Epidemiologist, Sassari, Italy.

One of Jordan's essential border crossings, the Al-Omari border crossing, is 1 of 3 land crossings between Jordan and Saudi Arabia and is located 160 km west of the capital city of Amman. Given its economic importance and essential role in the functioning of food supply networks across the region, Jordan undertook evidence-driven actions to keep the border crossing safely open during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-border coordination and collaboration, specifically with international contact tracing and case management, have been critical elements of Jordan's response.

A complete understanding of how exposure to environmental substances promotes cancer formation is lacking. More than 70 years ago, tumorigenesis was proposed to occur in a two-step process: an initiating step that induces mutations in healthy cells, followed by a promoter step that triggers cancer development. Here we propose that environmental particulate matter measuring ≤2.
