Study shows e-cigarettes not linked to wheezing risk Cigarette Nicotine ecigarettes Vape vaporizers JAMANetworkOpen Georgetown UMich
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaApr 10 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers analyze the longitudinal association between electronic nicotine delivery systems , cigarette use, and self-documented wheezing among adults in the United States.
Moreover, most studies assessing the relationship between ENDS usage and wheezing had cross-sectional study designs and analyzed data from only the first and second waves of the U.S. Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study. Wheezing prevalence was estimated for six categories of tobacco products consumption, including never smoking and non-current ENDS use, never smoking and current ENDS use, current smoking and non-current ENDS usage, current smoking, and current ENDS usage, former smoking and non-current ENDS usage, and former smoking and current ENDS usage.
Wheezing prevalence reduced slightly from 16% in the second wave to 14% in the fifth wave, with the most significant frequency during the second wave. Current smoking prevalence was consistent across the four waves, ranging between 18% and 19%, with 23% of the population sampled reporting cigarette smoking for one or more years between the first and fourth PATH study waves.
Among never-smokers current ENDS users, self-documented wheezing prevalence varied between 24% in the second wave and 13% in the fifth wave. Compared to never smoking and non-current ENDS usage, the greatest association with wheezing was observed for current smokers and current ENDS users and current smokers and non-current ENDS users . The association was considerably greater for former smokers and current ENDS users, with an AOR of 1.9.
Non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics showed a lower probability of documenting wheezing with AOR values of 0.7 and 0.6, respectively, as compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Compared to individuals with annual income exceeding $100,000, those with income below $50,000 showed a greater probability of wheezing. Women also had a lower probability of reporting wheezing compared to men .

Topical cannabidiol is well tolerated in individuals with a history of elite physical performance and chronic lower extremity pain - Journal of Cannabis ResearchIntroduction Cannabidiol (CBD) is a potential therapeutic for pain management. Yet, there exists a dearth of studies of its tolerability and efficacy, especially in special populations. Former elite athletes are a special population both susceptible to chronic pain and also highly trained and attuned to assess medication tolerability concerns. The purpose of the present open-label pilot study was to assess the tolerability of CBD in this population. Materials and methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in deidentified data from 20 individuals who were all previously professional athletes in US/American football, track and field, or basketball, with careers ranging from 4 to 10 years. Participants received topical CBD (10 mg twice daily by controlled dispenser) for chronic pain resulting from acute lower extremity injuries. Assessments of tolerability and secondary analyses of pain, pain-related disability, and activities of daily living were collected by self-report over the 6-week study period. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, pairwise t-test, and linear regression. Results Seventy percent of participants completed the study. Of the individuals who completed the study, 50% reported minor adverse effects, none of which required medical attention, and 50% did not report any adverse effects. The mostly commonly reported effects were skin dryness (43% of study completers) and skin rash (21% of study completers), which rapidly resolved. There was a significant improvement in self-reported pain levels (intake mean 3.5 ± 0.29; exit mean 1.7 ± 0.23; P | 0.001) and pain-related disability, including family and home responsibilities, life support activities, occupational activities, recreational activities, self-care, sexual function, and social activities (all P | 0.001). Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess CBD treatment in elite athletes, who are disproportionally susceptible to disabling injuries. Topical administra
