Integrating the impact of cigarette and waterpipe tobacco use among adolescents in the Eastern Mediterranean region: a cross sectional population level model of toxicant exposure

Background: Waterpipe smoking is more prevalent than cigarette smoking among adolescents in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR); however, simple prevalence masks complex waterpipe smoking patterns and makes uncertain its contribution to risk of ...

Fuel‐Tanker Explosions: Characterization and Emission Factors for the Quantification of the Associated Air Emissions From Burnt Premium Motor Spirit and Liquefied Petroleum Gas in Nigeria

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 91-98, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the combustion characterization of Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) due to fuel tanker explosions in Nigeria using Aspen Plus software. The simulation characterized and determined the emission factors (EFs) of the associated emissions from explosions.

A Randomized Crossover Clinical Study to Assess the Effect of Oral Nicotine Pouches Used for Different Durations on Plasma Nicotine Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Oral Pouch Consumers

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Oral nicotine pouches (NPs), although addictive and not risk‐free, have potential application for a tobacco harm reduction approach. This study aims to further characterize their ability to deliver nicotine effectively. This randomized seven‐way crossover PK study in healthy oral pouch consumers evaluated 11 and 20 mg NPs used for 10, 20, and ...

Cadmium‐Induced Mitochondrial and MAMs Dysregulation in Rat Testis: The Protective Role of D‐Aspartate

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 18-32, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal, disrupts the structure of seminiferous tubules and induces cell death at multiple stages of sperm development. Cd also impairs Leydig cells (LCs), resulting in reduced serum testosterone (T) levels. This study primarily examined the impact of Cd on the mitochondrial compartment and mitochondrial‐associated ...
