Background: Smoking cigarettes is increasingly becoming a strong focus of concern for public health in Saudi Arabia, especially with the rise in mental health disorders. This research explores how depression, anxiety, and stress are related to the level of dependence on nicotine.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 310 adult smokers and utilized face-to-face interviews to collect data on participants' sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, nicotine dependence through the Fagerstrom Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND), and mental health status using a validated Arabic version of the short form of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21).

Background: The aim of biologic therapies in severe asthma is inhibition of T2 inflammatory pathways.

Objective: We hypothesized that patients who achieve complete suppression of IL-5 & IL4/IL13 pathways with biologic therapy (FeNO <20ppb & blood eosinophil count (BEC) <0.15x10ˆ9, 'biological remission') would have better outcomes than patients with incomplete suppression of T2 biology.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Europe, with myocardial infarction (MI) being one of its most severe manifestations. While many risk factors for CVD are well known, occupational exposures remain relatively understudied-especially in analyses that adjust for co-occurring workplace exposures. This study aimed to examine the association between occupational exposure to chemicals and particles and the risk of first-time MI.
