Smokers using high-nicotine electronic cigarettes to cut down on their cigarette consumption were more successful in doing so than smokers given low-nicotine or no-nicotine cigarettes substitutes, and they also had lower exposures to tobacco-related carcinogens in a clinical trial with more than 500 participants followed for six months.
Total urinary concentration of the tobacco toxicant 4-(methelnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridy)-1-butanol (NNAL) was significantly reduced over 24-weeks in the smokers who used electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) with nicotine delivery equivalent to combustible cigarettes.
Smoking declined by 58% in the group during the period, with daily cigarette use reduced from an average of close to 18 cigarettes per day at baseline to 7.43 at 24 weeks.

The National Institutes of Health is awarding up to $33 million over two years to fund projects at 10 institutions across eight states to build evidence on safely returning students, teachers and support staff to in-person school in areas with vulnerable and underserved populations. This funding was made available by the American Rescue Plan. Known as the Safe Return to School Diagnostic Testing Initiative, the awards are part of the NIH Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program, which aims to increase COVID-19 testing access and uptake for vulnerable and underserved populations. Projects will combine frequent COVID-19 testing with proven safety measures to reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Worldwide, dementia is a major cause of illness and a devastating diagnosis, said study author Amy J. H. Kind M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison. There are currently no treatments to cure the disease, so identifying possible modifiable risk factors is important.
