Article Abstract

Taint in grapes and wine following vineyard exposure to bushfire smoke continues to challenge the financial viability of grape and wine producers worldwide. In response, researchers are studying the chemical, sensory and physiological consequences of grapevine smoke exposure. However, studies involving winemaking trials are often limited by the availability of suitable quantities of smoke-affected grapes, either from vineyards exposed to smoke or from field trials involving the application of smoke to grapevines. This study compared the accumulation of volatile phenol glycosides (as compositional markers of smoke taint) in Viognier and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes exposed to smoke pre- vs. post-harvest, and found post-harvest smoke exposure of fruit gave similar levels of volatile phenol glycosides to fruit exposed to smoke pre-harvest. Furthermore, wines made from smoke-affected fruit contained similar levels of smoke-derived volatile phenols and their glycosides, irrespective of whether smoke exposure occurred pre- vs. post-harvest. Post-harvest smoke exposure therefore provides a valid approach to generating smoke-affected grapes in the quantities needed for winemaking trials and/or trials that employ both chemical and sensory analysis of wine.

Introduction: Interval lung cancers (ILCs) are key indicators of lung cancer screening (LCS) performance. However, data on the proportion, characteristics, and mortality of ILCs under biennial screening in Asian populations remain limited.

Methods: We analyzed participants from the baseline biennial Korean national LCS program between 2019 and 2020.

Air pollution and diseases: signaling, G protein-coupled and Toll like receptors.

Air pollution is a significant public health issue that impacts lung health, particularly in vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Both natural and anthropogenic sources of air pollution give rise to a variety of toxic compounds, including particulate matter (PM), ozone (O₃), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Exposure to these pollutants is strongly associated with the development and exacerbation of respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

An Examination of Sex Differences and Cigarette Smoking as Predictors of COPD Prevalence and Incidence in Older US Adults.

Nicotine Tob Res

Section of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Department of Medicine, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, 1 Medical Center Dr, Lebanon, NH, 03766, USA.

Introduction: This study examined the main and interactive effects of sex, cigarette smoking status, cigarette pack-years, and second-hand smoke exposure on COPD prevalence and incidence.

Methods: COPD prevalence was estimated for US adults aged 40+ years from Wave 1 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study (n = 12 296). Incidence analyses included adults from the initial sample without a COPD diagnosis (n = 6611).

Background: Trial participants are typically healthier than the general population. Differences in underlying characteristics between the population undergoing lung cancer screening (LCS) and LCS trial participants may alter the benefits of LCS.

Research Question: Does the risk of developing and dying from lung cancer differ between trial participants and the general population?

Study Design And Methods: Using data from the i) North Carolina Lung Screening Registry (NCLSR), ii) 2022 Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Lung Cancer Screening Module, and iii) National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), we estimated the 5-year probability of developing and dying from lung cancer if not screened using publicly available macros.

In the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) paradigm, there is a clear link between an adverse prenatal environment and the development of non-hereditary diseases later in life. Exposure to intrauterine inflammation, for example, has been associated with several late-onset conditions, including neurological, cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic disorders. Moreover, maternal and fetal health are compromised under exacerbated inflammation, as it can result in spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, or intrauterine growth restriction.
