Smokeless Tobacco Use in Military Personnel [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2007
Military personnel are more than twice as likely as civilians to use smokeless tobacco (ST), and recent studies indicate that military prevalence rates are rising. However, few studies have examined factors related to ST use in the military. The present study evaluated the characteristics of ST use in 785 active duty military personnel.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Lactate‐H3K18la‐RPL11 Axis Drives Gemcitabine Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer by Integrating Protein Synthesis and DNA Damage Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A lactate‐H3K18la epigenetic axis upregulates RPL11 to drive gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer. RPL11 orchestrates chemoresistance through a dual, compartmentalized role: enhancing cytoplasmic protein synthesis via EEF1A1 stabilization and promoting nuclear DNA damage repair by co‐activating PARP14, thus ensuring robust cell survival ...
