Public health actors have expressed concerns over the entry of the tobacco industry into the UK e-cigarette market. It is important to be aware of the tobacco industry's involvement and stated aims for e-cigarettes in the UK, given their historical attempts to divert attention from and escape responsibility for the harms caused by combustible cigarettes. The use of e-cigarettes amongst young people in the UK has remained constant, despite the law prohibiting sales to adolescents and claims by manufacturers and others that they are designed solely as a tool to quit smoking.

Amyloid-PET quantification through the tracer-independent Centiloid (CL) scale has emerged as an essential tool for the accurate measurement of amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. The AMYPAD consortium set out to integrate existing literature and recent work from the consortium to provide clinical context-of-use recommendations for the CL scale. Compared to histopathology, visual reads, and cerebrospinal fluid, CL quantification accurately reflects the amount of AD pathology.

X-ray structural elucidation, supramolecular self-assembly, and energetics of existential noncovalent interactions for a triad comprising α-diketone, α-ketoimine, and an imidorhenium complex are highlighted in this report. Molecular packing reveals a self-assembled 2D network stabilized by the C-H···O H-bonds for the α-diketone (benzil), and the first structural report of Brown and Sadanaga stressing on the prevalence of seems to be an oversimplified conjecture. In the α-ketoimine, the imine nitrogen atom undergoes intramolecular N···H interaction to render itself inert toward intermolecular C-H···N interaction and exhibits two types of C-H···O H-bonds in consequence to generate a self-assembled 2D molecular architecture.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate relationships between three key cerebrovascular functions (blood-brain barrier permeability, vascular pulsatility, and cerebrovascular reactivity) in patients with cerebral small vessel diseases (SVD), including both sporadic cases and a genetic condition known as CADASIL.
  • Researchers used advanced brain imaging techniques to analyze these functions in a group of 77 patients, assessing how they relate to SVD severity, subtype, and specific brain changes.
  • Findings revealed that worse white matter hyperintensity (WMH) was linked to lower cerebrovascular reactivity and blood plasma volume fraction, with the type of SVD having little impact on these vascular functions after accounting for WMH severity.

Summary of best evidence on prevention of intracranial infection after endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary neoplasm resection.

Gland Surg

October 2024

Department of Clinical Research Center, Jiangnan University Medical Center (Wuxi No. 2 People's Hospital), Wuxi School of Medicine, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Intracranial infections are serious complications that can occur after pituitary surgery, and current preventive measures lack consistency and clarity, making it hard for nurses to implement effective guidelines.
  • The study aims to gather and refine evidence on preventing these infections post-surgery to lower their occurrence and support clinical staff in their practices.
  • A systematic search across various medical databases was conducted to collect relevant guidelines and evidence, which were then screened and evaluated to create a more targeted approach for preventing infections after endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery.

Modern technology has provided the author with access to a previously unobtainable publication, John Moore's 1784 work, ''. Not only did this allow direct consideration of his technique of nerve compression (which has been described briefly by many others since), but also showed that Moore had very advanced humane views on the need to try and produce pain relief for surgery. It also became possible to obtain far more information on the author, notably that although he worked in London he was born and educated in Glasgow, and did his initial medical training in Edinburgh.

Aims: Household food insecurity (FI) is a serious public health concern and disproportionately affects people living with chronic health conditions, undermining diabetes self-management. Little is known about healthcare professionals' (HCPs) experiences of supporting people affected by diabetes and FI, and no national guidelines incorporate consideration of FI within UK diabetes care. A qualitative study of NHS HCPs' consideration of FI within diabetes care, and the extent to which it informs their clinical practice, was undertaken.

Article Synopsis
  • Current guidelines advise against metformin for patients with advanced kidney impairment, despite limited evidence supporting this recommendation, prompting an observational study to compare outcomes of continuing versus stopping metformin after developing stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD).
  • The study found that out of 4,278 metformin users with incident CKD stage 4, those who stopped taking the medication experienced a significantly lower 3-year survival rate compared to those who continued, although the incidence of major cardiovascular events was similar between the two groups.
  • The findings suggest that ongoing metformin use may be beneficial for patients with advanced kidney impairment, although the study does acknowledge potential limitations due to residual confounding factors.
