Early-life Exposure to Tobacco Smoke and the Risk of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Population-based Cohort Study.
Ann Am Thorac Soc
January 2025
Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, China;
Rationale: Tobacco smoking is a well-established risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), yet the influence of early-life tobacco exposure on future IPF risk remains poorly understood.
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that early-life tobacco exposure may elevate the risk of developing IPF, with this effect potentially modified by genetic susceptibility to IPF and mediated through accelerated biological aging.
Methods: Using data from over 430,000 participants in the UK Biobank, we performed a prospective cohort study to examine the associations of maternal smoking around birth and age of smoking initiation with IPF risk.
Evaluating Surgeon-influenced Factors for Total Knee Arthroplasty Value-based Reimbursement.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, USA (Sutton, Lizcano, Krueger, Courtney, and Purtill), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, USA (Austin).
Introduction: Clinical outcome measures used under value-based reimbursement models require risk stratification of patient demographics and medical history. Only certain perioperative patient factors may be influenced by the surgeon. The study evaluated surgeon-influenced modifiable factors associated with achieving literature-defined KOOS score thresholds to serve as the foundation of the newly established alternative payment models for total knee arthroplasties (TKA).

Background: Online malicious attempts such as scamming continue to proliferate across the globe, aided by the ubiquitous nature of technology that makes it increasingly easy to dupe individuals. This study aimed to identify the predictors for online fraud victimization focusing on Personal, Environment and Behavior (PEB).
Methods: Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) was used as a guide in developing the PEB framework.
Neuro-computational simulation of blood flow loaded with gold and maghemite nanoparticles inside an electromagnetic microchannel under rapid and unexpected change in pressure gradient.
Electromagn Biol Med
January 2025
Department of Mathematics, University of Gour Banga, Malda, India.
In cardiovascular research, electromagnetic fields generated by Riga plates are utilized to study or manipulate blood flow dynamics, which is particularly crucial in developing treatments for conditions such as arterial plaque deposition and understanding blood behavior under varied flow conditions. This research predicts the flow patterns of blood enhanced with gold and maghemite nanoparticles (gold-maghemite/blood) in an electromagnetic microchannel influenced by Riga plates with a temperature gradient that decays exponentially, under sudden changes in pressure gradient. The flow modeling includes key physical influences like radiation heat emission and Darcy drag forces in porous media, with the flow mathematically represented through unsteady partial differential equations solved using the Laplace transform (LT) method.

Heliyon
January 2025
Department of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Jiroft, Jiroft, 7867161167, Iran.
This study focuses on developing biochar-based adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and rapid adsorption rates for removing boron from aqueous solutions. Hydroxy-enriched biochar composites (BC (carboxylated biochar), BC-PDA (polydopamine loaded biochar), MBC-PDA (polydopamine loaded magnetic biochar), BC-AlOOH (AlOOH loaded biochar), and BC-ZnCl (biochar modified by ZnCl)) were synthesized specifically for boron adsorption to utilize the superior adsorption capacity of biochar. All adsorbents were synthesized using straightforward experimental techniques from date palm cellulosic fibers as promising lignocellulose feedstock and subjected to various characterization methods.
