Comparison effectiveness of topical analgesics with and without Entonox for esophagogastroduodenoscopy: A randomized controlled trial

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is vital for diagnosing and treating upper gastrointestinal symptoms, but patient discomfort and anxiety can affect procedural outcomes. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of topical analgesics with and without Entonox during EGD in terms of procedural success, patient tolerance, and ...

Effect of Functional Nasal Surgery on Craniofacial Pain: A Prospective Cohort Study

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1649-1655, April 2026.
About 40% of patients presenting for nasal obstruction had craniofacial pain (CPF) preoperatively. In patients with nasal obstruction and CFP preoperatively, functional nasal surgery led to significant improvements in both nasal obstruction and CFP, and these improvements persisted at about 6 months postoperatively. ABSTRACT Objectives Functional nasal

Continuing use of e‐cigarettes after stopping smoking and relapse: Secondary analysis of a large randomised controlled trial

Addiction, Volume 121, Issue 4, Page 994-997, April 2026.
Abstract Background and aims Smokers quitting successfully with the help of e‐cigarettes often continue vaping. It is not known whether this promotes or prevents relapse back to smoking. This study aimed to determine whether use of e‐cigarettes after successful smoking cessation affects the probability of relapse later on.

Sex‐specific impact of repeated adolescent vapour exposure to JWH‐018 on dopamine response, behaviour and pharmacokinetics across adolescence and adulthood

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1517-1538, April 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Alarming trends show that vaping e‐cigarettes containing synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists, such as JWH‐018, is increasing among youth. However, the effects of these trends are unclear in both sexes. We therefore characterized the neuropharmacological effects of adolescent JWH‐018 inhalation in male and female rats.

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 310-320, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Characterization of NLRP3 isoforms in bullfrog Aquarana catesbeiana and their role in antibacterial immunity

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is essential for innate immunity against pathogens, yet its function in amphibians remains poorly understood. Here, we identified and cloned two novel isoforms of NLRP3 from the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana), designated AcNLRP3 X1 and AcNLRP3 X2, with open reading frames of 2397 bp (798 aa) and 2874 bp (957 aa)
