Machine Learning–Based Comparative Analysis of Blood Cell–Derived Inflammatory Indices for Predicting MAFLD and Liver Fibrosis: Evidence From NHANES 2017–2020

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This research assesses the correlations and diagnostic efficacy of blood cell‐derived inflammatory indicators in predicting metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and liver fibrosis using NHANES 2017–2020 data. AISI had the highest predictive capability for MAFLD, while PLR served as the most efficacious indicator for fibrosis ...

Smoking effects on root coverage outcomes between 3 and 12 months: A prospective cohort study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the impact of smoking on root coverage outcomes, comparing healing responses at 3–12 months following coronally advanced flap with a connective tissue graft (CAF+CTG). Methods This prospective cohort study included 27 participants (13 smokers, 14 non‐smokers) who required root coverage for a single Cairo

Astrocytes in the Ventral Tegmental Area Are Involved in Cotinine Self-Administration in Male Wistar Rats

Brain Sciences
Background: Our recent studies indicate that astrocytes in a key mesocorticolimbic region play an important role in nicotine reinforcement. Nicotine self-administration elevated the astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the nucleus ...

Joint and Independent Associations of Dietary Antioxidant Intakes With Advanced Stages in Older Patients With Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) progression in an older population. Using data from NHANES 2001–2020, we analyzed 4974 adults aged ≥ 60 years with CKM syndrome. The CDAI was calculated from the intake of six dietary antioxidants.

Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects of Chemical Pollutants and Parasitic Fungi on Cyanobacterial Metabolism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic pollutants, including the widely used herbicide metolachlor (MET) and cigarette butt (CB) litter. Parasites represent an additional biotic stressor that can modulate pollutant effects on their hosts.

Association between serum cotinine and total testosterone in adult males based on NHANES 2011–2016

Scientific Reports
The relationship between smoking and testosterone levels in adult males remains a topic of ongoing debate. Serum cotinine is considered a reliable marker of both smoking intensity and exposure to tobacco smoke.

Characterization of urinary cotinine concentrations among non-smoking adults in smoking and smoke-free homes in the Korean national environmental health survey (KoNEHS) cycle 3 (2015–2017)

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background Although many indoor public places have implemented smoke-free regulations, private homes have remained sources of tobacco smoke pollutants.
