Summary: The study uncovered a shared genetic etiology between cortical brain morphology and substance use behaviors, suggesting that genetic variants associated with substance use may be causally related to brain structure differences. This may help to better understand the association between brain structure and substance use.

Summary: This study suggests that mitochondrial genetic variation may contribute to variability in smoking phenotypes, but replication in larger samples is required.

Summary: This article explores the impact of religious beliefs on food waste behavior at home and during dining out by conducting interviews with Islamic followers and religious leaders. The study reveals a limited association between religiosity and wasteless behavior, as social and cultural norms have a stronger influence. The findings suggest that religious leaders should take a more proactive role in promoting wasteless behavior at home and away.

Summary: The study shows that parental smoking during childhood is associated with lower probability of employment in adulthood for their offspring. Factors such as self-health, mental health, emotional stability, and conscientiousness play important roles in mediating this relationship.

Summary: This study explored smokers' perceptions of smoking-related genetic information and the RiskProfile intervention they received, with most smokers seeing high potential utility in the tool and offering constructive feedback for usability optimization. In vivo feedback proved to be a valuable design approach in addressing concerns and improving the personalized genetic risk intervention for current smokers.

Summary: This study assessed the clinical knowledge and perceptions of healthcare students in Saudi Arabia regarding thyroid cancer (TC). The findings showed that half of the healthcare students had sufficient knowledge about TC, with female participants being more knowledgeable than male participants. The study suggests arranging awareness programs for students to bridge the knowledge gap.

Summary: The study showed a significant association between dining out and gastrointestinal health, particularly related to dietary habits. Younger participants had more self-perceived body weight issues than middle-aged individuals. This research offers valuable insights into FAFH and its impact on GI health in Taiwan.

Summary: This study investigates the evolution of walking behavior in fruit flies. Through capturing the movement of multiple species and strains, the researchers find that walking can be represented in a universal behavior space with evolutionarily conserved structure. However, specific movements and transitions have evolved rapidly, leading to convergent evolution in the temporal structure of locomotion.

Summary: Intraspecific genetic variation is crucial for wild populations, and evaluating genetic diversity patterns is essential for guiding conservation policies, especially for threatened species. A study on the critically endangered plant Mimosa catharinensis using SNP markers revealed moderate genetic diversity levels, high outcrossing rates, and an apparent lack of inbreeding, despite a recent bottleneck in population history. This population genomic research addresses key issues in evolution and conservation biology, providing valuable insights for safeguarding genetic diversity in this unique species.

Summary: Human genetics is rapidly advancing, allowing comprehensive scanning of the genome and identification of specific variants associated with various outcomes. Large research teams are analyzing data from hundreds of thousands to millions of individuals to uncover genes related to underlying processes. However, rapid progress also brings ethical, social, and legal challenges, requiring increased public understanding of the influence of genes on behavioral outcomes and greater diversity in the field of genetics.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has widened the social inequality gap in smoking rates, with a higher prevalence among those with low education. From 2020 to 2021, the difference in smoking rates between low and high education groups increased. Smokers with higher education were more likely to decrease their tobacco consumption compared to those with lower education.

Summary: Some smokers switch to e-cigarettes for smoking cessation, but it is recommended to try approved medications first. This study analyzed the switching behavior of adult smokers using JUUL, based on their quit attempts and use of smoking cessation medications. The results showed that making a quit attempt and using nicotine replacement therapy were associated with higher odds of switching to e-cigarettes.

Summary: This study found that a personalized mobile cessation intervention is more likely to promote smokers from the preparation stage to the action stage compared to a nonpersonalized intervention. The results indicate that the personalized intervention can reduce smokers' intrinsic rewards, extrinsic rewards, and response costs, with intrinsic rewards being a determinant of stage change.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer patients have oral microbial shifts that may indicate their risk years before diagnosis, and pathogenic bacteria have been found in pancreatic tumors. Understanding the interaction between the oral microbiome and pancreatic cancer could lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, reducing healthcare disparities.

Summary: Primary care providers often engage in smoking cessation counseling with their patients, but do not have a clear preference for type of treatment and rarely use follow-ups for quitting smoking. While many providers report shared decision-making about LCS, few use a decision aid for this conversation.

Summary: This retrospective analysis looks at breast cancer patients who smoked at the time of diagnosis and participated in a comprehensive tobacco treatment program. The study found that quitting smoking is linked to better survival outcomes across all tumor stages for these patients. Comprehensive smoking cessation programs may improve survival when initiated early on at diagnosis.

Summary: To create reproducible emotional probes, affective scientists rely on standardized pictures normed using subjective ratings. However, when investigating emotional responses using neurophysiological measures, it might be more appropriate to select pictures integrating normed subjective reports and normed neurophysiological responses.

Summary: This study investigates whether the within-person associations of key risk and protective factors with smoking lapse varies by facets of socio-economic status (SES). The findings suggest that individuals from lower SES groups have a weaker influence of some risk factors on smoking lapse compared to higher SES groups.

Summary: This study evaluates the effectiveness of scheduled smoking in combination with precessation nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) compared with standard NRT for quitting smoking. The results demonstrate that scheduled smoking with precessation NRT can significantly increase abstinence rates and reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings, providing a better overall quitting experience and encouraging future quit attempts.
