Tobacco companies are often a significant client of the lobbyist

As a further indication that regulations are effective in reducing pesticide levels in household environments, we found no significant change in carpet dust concentrations of carbaryl, cypermethrin or permethrin, which were still approved for residential use at the time of our study. Results from repeated samples collected from a subset of 15 residences further support […]

Serum IgE is higher in smokers than in nonsmokers and is possibly higher in ETS exposed subjects

Evidence for a healthy worker effect is that in many of the studies, workers had higher baseline FEV1 values compared with those of control groups or with advancing tenure . There is other evidence in the occupational literature on diagnosed occupational asthma in bakers, and on allergic sensitization to platinum salts and to TDI, that […]

An additional limitation emerges from uncertainty in interpreting data from the initial impactor stage

While pathways for exposure to occupant-borne bacteria have mainly focused on touching fomites and on person-to-person direct contact, our results reinforce an understanding that humans may also be exposed to bioaerosol-borne microorganisms originating from other building occupants. These emissions might be produced by direct shedding into air or they might result from shedding followed by […]

Details of the RESPIRE and CRECER cohorts have been published elsewhere

Approximately 2.4 billion people worldwide rely on burning biomass fuels, including wood, crop residue, coal, and animal dung for household cooking and heating. These fuels are often burned indoors in simple stoves in often poorly ventilated rooms, emitting substantial amounts of pollutants including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, all components of household […]

Participants were prompted to report craving and pain ratings within the W-SUDs app on a daily basis

Post treatment survey completion was 50.5% , with better retention among those with a higher CAGE-AID score at screening . Retention was lowest among those with a CAGE-AID score of 2 and higher for those scoring 3 or 4 . Retention was unrelated to participant demographic characteristics, previous use of Woebot, psychiatric diagnoses, primary problematic substance, […]

Each cytokine was measured in duplicate and represented as the average value±SD

Our findings suggest that cannabinoids are capable of altering the differentiation and activation of cells involved in human cell-mediated immunity. Functional coupling of cannabinoid receptors to G-protein activity was assessed by measuring forskolin-induced cAMP levels in CHO-CB2 cells and fresh human monocytes. CHO-CB2 cells were cultured overnight at 5×105 cells/well in a 6-well plate. The […]

Both medications are used for the treatment of hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia

In an 8-week RCT in 20 participants with early-onset AUD, ondansetron and naltrexone significantly reduced drinks per drinking day and trended towards an increase in percentage of days abstinent. Another combination study in 90 participants after 7 days on ondansetron and naltrexone found that the combination decreased craving for alcohol and ventral striatal activation to […]

Findings add to this literature by specifying a boundary dose for alcohol’s stimulatory effect on eating

Given that pharmacotherapies for addiction can alter other appetitive responses, we hypothesized that IBUD would reduce tonic levels of high-fat/high-sugar food craving as well as reduce high fat/high-sugar food craving following alcohol infusion and stress. Understanding generaland domain-specific effects of IBUD will further medication development. A neuroimmune modulator such as IBUD may uniquely impact high-fat/high-sugar food […]
