Mediators of the Association Between Stroke and Blood Cells: A Two‐Step Multivariable Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study investigated the association and causality between complete blood count (CBC) parameters and stroke in 6736 participants from the 2011–2016 NHANES. Key CBC indices were identified as independent stroke predictors, with some showing significant nonlinear correlations with stroke events.

Validity of Self-Reported Tobacco Smoke Exposure among Non-Smoking Adult Public Housing Residents.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
IntroductionTobacco smoke exposure (TSE) in public multi-unit housing (MUH) is of concern. However, the validity of self-reports for determining TSE among non-smoking residents in such housing is unclear.MethodsWe analyzed data from 285 non-smoking ...

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 269-282, September 2026.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.

Low Cotinine Glucuronidation Results in Higher Serum and Saliva Cotinine in African American Compared to White Smokers

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Tobacco exposure is often quantified by serum or saliva concentrations of the primary nicotine metabolite, cotinine. However, average cotinine concentrations are higher in African Americans (AA) compared with Whites with similar smoking ...

Patient‐reported outcomes for monitoring substance use treatment: A systematic review of single‐item measures

open access: yesAddiction, Volume 121, Issue 9, Page 2292-2316, September 2026.
Abstract Background and aims Measurement‐based care (MBC) is a structured approach using standardized, repeated assessments to monitor treatment progress and guide clinical decision‐making. MBC improves outcomes for substance use treatment but can be time consuming due in part to lengthy assessment tools. Single‐item, patient‐reported outcome measures (

Determinants of serum cotinine and hair cotinine as biomarkers of childhood secondhand smoke exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Understanding the determinants of childhood secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure is important in measuring and preventing exposure to this widespread environmental contaminant. We evaluated the ability of a broad set of factors to explain variability in serum
