Comparing the Effects of Microplastics From Conventional Cigarette Butts and Heated Tobacco Device: The Role of UV‐Induced Aging

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the widespread presence of cigarette butts in the environment, the potential toxicological effects posed by microplastics (MPs) derived from them remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared the effects of MPs from conventional cigarette butts (cellulose acetate) and heated tobacco devices (cellulose acetate and polylactic acid

Integrated Alpha–Gamma Radiation Exposure From Natural Radionuclides in Cement and Gypsum Production: Implications for Occupational Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural radionuclides in cement and gypsum production materials pose significant risks of occupational radiation exposure that are not well documented in Iraqi Kurdistan. This study quantifies alpha and gamma radiation levels from naturally occurring radioactive materials, specifically 222Rn, 238U, 232Th, and 40K, in cement and gypsum samples ...

Inflammatory Shift in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Amidst Guangzhou's Urbanization (2000–2018)

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) exhibits temporal and geographic diversity in pathological endotypes with progressive eosinophilic infiltration, while the underlying causes remain unclear. Current pathological endotypes determination relies on mean cell count per high‐power field, requiring accuracy optimization.

Biomarkers Predictive of Immunotherapy Efficacy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Current Insights and Future Perspectives

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the approval of immunotherapies by regulatory bodies, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment has been revolutionized, and anti‐programmed cell death‐1 (anti‐PD‐1) agents are now the standard for platinum‐resistant recurrent/metastatic HNSCC.

Association of Cat Sensitization With Comorbid Asthma in Patients With Allergic Rhinitis: A Real‐World Study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma (AS) comorbidity (AR + AS) is increasing and is associated with severe allergic symptoms. The impact of cat dander sensitization on AR + AS remains unclear. Methods In this retrospective study, 1154 patients with AR alone and 213 patients with AR + AS were enrolled at the Third ...

Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Two‐Decade Institutional Experience

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the head and neck is rare (< 1% of cases) and aggressive, with poorly defined management strategies. This study evaluated clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes in a single‐institution cohort, identifying factors associated with improved survival.

Disparities in AI‐Based Prior Authorization for Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Large Language Model Analysis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Large language models (LLM) are being rapidly integrated into healthcare, particularly to streamline time‐ and labor‐intensive administrative processes. However, the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to demonstrate bias when employed for insurance authorization remains poorly understood.

Current Advances of Treatments, Therapeutic Targets, Biomarkers, Novel Drugs, and Machine Learning for Hypopharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) is an aggressive subtype of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with insidious onset, early metastasis, and dismal prognosis. Conventional multimodal therapy achieves limited survival benefit, highlighting an urgent need for refined precision strategies.

Firearms as a Market‐Driven Epidemic: Potential Pathways to Reduce Preventable Firearm‐Related Harm in the United States

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points For half a century, firearm‐related deaths and injuries have been endemic in the United States, with COVID‐19 contributing to a record high of 48,830 deaths in 2021, an epidemic rate increase. By 2023, national trends masked a significant 10‐fold difference in firearm‐related death rates among states.

Impacts of Global Cannabis Policy Changes on Substance Use: A Systematic Review of Quasi‐Experimental Studies

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points The liberalization of medical and recreational cannabis policies may increase cannabis initiation across age groups, with increased prevalence of cannabis use among young adults and adults and weaker effects among youth. Evidence also suggests increases in cannabis‐related health care utilization among adults.
