Feasibility and acceptability of wearing a neuromodulation device at night in individuals in recovery from opioid use disorder
Participant's daily ePRO and exit interview results established that at-home use of advanced treatment technology is feasible in a population group challenged with recovering from OUD. Even more so, numerous participants noted strong willingness to participate in future LIFU-enabled intervention studies to address their persistent sleep issues during recovery
Betel Quid Addiction
Background: Areca-nut (AN) and added smokeless-tobacco (SLT) are considered agents that may cause addiction to betel-quid (BQ). However, the primary addictive substance in AN is not clearly understood. Objective: The present review evaluates possible addictive chemicals in AN with their mechanisms of action for progression to BQ dependence, as it is essential to overcome barriers in BQ cessation. It also identifies innovative treatment modalities…
Population Burden of Betel Quid Abuse and Its Relation to Oral Premalignant Disorders in South, Southeast, and East Asia
Objectives. We investigated the population burden of betel quid abuse and its related impact on oral premalignant disorders (OPDs) in South, Southeast, and East Asia. Methods. The Asian Betel-Quid Consortium conducted a multistage sampling of 8922 representative participants from Taiwan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Participants received an interviewer-administered survey and were examined for oral mucosal disorders.…

Introduction Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have significant impacts in labour intensive occupational groups. Lifting, moving, transferring and repositioning of patients and long hours spent standing during work makes nurses vulnerable to WMSDs. Objective To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with WMSDs among nurses. Methods We randomly selected 237 nurses attached to National hospital of Sri Lanka and Colombo So…
Global epidemiology of areca nut usage
A substantial proportion of the world's population is engaged in chewing areca nut and the habit is endemic throughout the Indian subcontinent, large parts of south Asia and Melanesia. A large variety of ingredients, including tobacco, may be used along with areca nut constituting a betel quid. The composition and method of chewing can vary widely from country to country and these population variations are described in this review. Some populatio…
