Article Abstract
Cannabis use is common, especially among young people, and associated with risks for select acute and chronic adverse health and social outcomes. New Zealand features overall high cannabis use levels, yet may soon follow other jurisdictions and implement legalization of non-medical cannabis use and supply towards public health objectives. While existing cannabis-oriented interventions mainly focus on primary prevention and treatment (e.g., for dependence), key harms from use are crucially influenced by risk factors that can be modified by the user. On this basis, and similar to other health behavior-oriented interventions, 'Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines' (LRCUG), consisting of 10 recommendation clusters for lower-risk use, were systematically developed in Canada as an evidence-based, targeted prevention tool towards reducing adverse outcomes among cannabis users. We briefly summarize the concept of and experiences with implementation of the LRCUG elsewhere, and describe how their adoption as a population health intervention may serve public health goals of possible cannabis legalization in New Zealand and elsewhere.

Same-day multiplex detection of foodborne bacterial pathogens for clinical diagnostics and food safety.
J Appl Microbiol
September 2025
Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, National Defense Medical University, Taipei City 114201, Taiwan (R.O.C.).
Aims: This study aims to develop and evaluate a rapid and high-multiplex pathogen detection method for clinical and food specimens to address the ongoing public health threat of foodborne infections and the limitations of conventional culture-based diagnostics.
Methods And Results: The foodborne bacteria (FBB) assay integrates multiplex PCR, T7 exonuclease hydrolysis, and a suspension bead array to simultaneously detect 16 genes from 13 major foodborne bacteria. Analytical performance was evaluated using reference strains, while diagnostic performance was assessed using clinical and food samples.

African Swine Fever (ASF), caused by the highly contagious African swine fever virus (ASFV), poses a significant threat to domestic and wild pigs worldwide. Despite its limited host range and lack of zoonotic potential, ASF has severe socio-economic and environmental consequences. Current control strategies primarily rely on early detection and culling of infected animals, but these measures are insufficient given the rapid spread of the disease.

In-stent restenosis remains a significant challenge in interventional cardiology despite technological advancements. This retrospective case-control study conducted at the University Hospital Center Ibn Rochd in Casablanca (2020-2023) examined risk factors associated with coronary in-stent restenosis in 68 patients equally distributed between restenosis and no-restenosis groups. Diabetes emerged as a powerful predictor of restenosis (RR=4.

Controlling the size of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been critical in diagnostics, biomolecular sensing, targeted therapy, wastewater treatment, catalysis, and sensing applications. Ultrasmall AuNPs (uAuNPs), with sizes Ranging from 2 to 5 nm, and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), with sizes less than 2 nm, are often dealt with interchangeably in the literature, making it challenging to review them separately. Although they are grouped in our discussion, their chemical and physical properties differ significantly, partly due to their electronic properties.

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is prevalent in older adults and is often associated with falls. However, the presence or absence of symptoms in OH may be mediated by cerebral autoregulation, which helps maintain cerebral perfusion during blood pressure fluctuations.
Methods: We recruited 40 older adults (aged ≥ 55 years) from the Malaysian Elders Longitudinal Research (MELoR) cohort.
