Abstract Background Tobacco use causes over eight million global deaths annually, with seven directly attributed to tobacco and 1.2 second hand smoke (SHS). Smoke-free environments are crucial counter SHS. Although India banned smoking in public places 2008, SHS exposure remains high. Studies have noted that limiting workplaces, restaurants, etc., helps reduce overall exposure. Under this background, the study explores linkages between smoke-free workplaces living homes India. Methods The...

Children are susceptible to early life inequalities stemming from their limited control over environment and physical incapability handle the health developmental consequences of smoke exposure. Additionally, lack awareness regarding detrimental effects secondhand (SHS) exposure on well-being emphasizes crucial need comprehend extent SHS among younger population.

A number of technologies are being developed to facilitate key intraoperative actions in vitreoretinal microsurgery. There is a need for cost-effective, reusable benchtop eye phantoms enable frequent evaluation these developments. In this study, we describe an artificial phantom developing intraocular imaging and force-sensing tools. We test four candidate materials simulating epiretinal membranes using handheld tremor-canceling micromanipulator with micro-forceps tip demonstrate peeling...
