Tobacco control in the Eastern Mediterranean region: implementation progress and persisting challenges by Abu-Rmeileh, Niveen M E

“…Prevalence of tobacco smoking is markedly lower among women, ranging from 0.3% in Oman to 28.2% in Lebanon and 12.9% in Jordan (online supplemental table).1 Waterpipe tobacco smoking has spread rapidly in the region over the past three decades, especially among young people in the region.5 Although waterpipe smoking prevalence is higher among men in most EMR countries, the gender gap is smaller than that for cigarette smoking.5 Various factors have contributed to the rise in waterpipe smoking rates, including the introduction of flavoured tobacco, the perception of reduced harm and addiction relative to cigarette smoking, and inadequate policies and regulations addressing waterpipe smoking.6…”

Effect of using Cement Kiln Dust as a nano-material on the strength of cement mortars by Alnahhal, Wael

“…In addition to the control cement mortar mixture with 0% CKD, a total of 28 concrete mortar mixtures were prepared with four different replacement percentages of nano-CKD (5, 10, 15, and 20 %), and seven different milling times (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 hours). The compressive strengths of all cement mortar mixtures were evaluated after curing periods of 7, 28, and 56 days. …”

Pharmacoeconomic evaluation of voriconazole vs. liposomal amphotericin B in empiric treatment of invasive fungal infections in Turkey by Turner, Stuart J.

“…Univariate sensitivity analysis highlighted that increasing the duration of voriconazole by >1.2 days or decreasing LAmB by >1.0 days changes the result. Monte Carlo Simulation resulted in 69.4% of simulations favouring voriconazole per patient treated.Conclusion: There is a strong likelihood that voriconazole is economically more favourable than LAmB in the empiric treatment of IFI in Turkey.…”
