Nicotine (NIC) detection is vital for monitoring its presence in various environments, including tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, and clinical samples; NIC's widespread use and health implications necessitate precise and reliable detection methods as it is linked to diseases such as lung cancer and vascular disorders. In this study, we developed and characterized Au tadpole-like nanostructures immobilized onto titanium oxide (TiO) to provide a cost-effective and sensitive NIC detection material. The comprehensive characterization of the composite used transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), showing the robustness of the synthesis.

In this article, we present eight studies published in the past two years that are likely to influence general practice in 2025. The key messages highlight the importance of physical activity in reducing cardiovascular risk, the effectiveness of aripiprazole for treatment-resistant depression, and the positive impact of guidelines on antibiotic use for acute cystitis. Furthermore, teleconsultation is more effective when supported by a pre-existing therapeutic relationship, extended leave reduces physician burnout, electronic cigarettes aid smoking cessation, and AI improves the management of electronic communications.
