Nicotine Vapes May Aid in Smoking Cessation
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854234
More people may quit smoking when using nicotine e-cigarettes, also known as vapes, compared with conventional nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) such as gum or patches and quitting with or without behavioral support, according to an updated Cochrane review.

Study Finds Artery Damage in Young Adults With CKM Syndrome
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854233
Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is prevalent among young adults and is associated with greater signs of early artery damage, according to a study published in Circulation: Population Health and Outcomes. Nearly 80% of participants had CKM syndrome stages 1 to 3, which were linked to worse cardiovascular health.

Azithromycin for Cesarean Delivery
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854053
Preventing maternal morbidity and mortality remains an urgent global priority, yet progress has been unsatisfactory. Although maternal mortality has declined globally, the rates have increased in the US and infections are among the top causes of preventable deaths. Among women undergoing cesarean delivery (the most common major surgical procedure in the US), the risk of infection is many times higher than after vaginal delivery, underscoring the importance of effective prophylaxis.

Weight Loss in Older Adults With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854052
To the Editor In the LOSE-AF randomized clinical trial, a low-calorie diet and behavioral support program achieved significant weight loss but did not improve atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms, AF burden, or subsequent rhythm-control outcomes in older patients with persistent AF. We believe an imbalance in baseline rhythm-control therapies may have affected the interpretation of these null findings.

Caring Collectively Through Palliative Care Partnerships
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2853900
End-of-life cancer care represents a pivotal period for patients, families, and care providers. Palliative care consultation can enhance the quality of end-of-life care for patients with cancer, which has been demonstrated to be beneficial. The palliative care workforce, while growing, is still inadequate to meet patient care needs. Furthermore, the effectiveness of palliative care programs has been inconsistent in prior research, with some programs improving quality of life but not health care utilization. Specifically, hospice utilization varies widely despite the consistent presence of palliative care services in many oncology settings.

Asymptomatic Carotid Revascularization May Be Justified, But Not to Improve Cognition
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854200
Stroke is a feared complication of atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis. After years of debate regarding the value of revascularizing asymptomatic carotid stenosis in the modern era of intensive medical prevention with antiplatelet therapy and high-intensity statins, the CREST-2 trial revisited this question in a pair of randomized clinical trials: one trial comparing carotid endarterectomy plus best medical management vs medical therapy alone and the other comparing carotid artery stenting plus best medical management vs medial therapy alone. The topline findings showed that carotid artery stenting, but not carotid endarterectomy, significantly reduced the risk of the primary outcome of a composite of stroke or death within 44 days or ipsilateral stroke within up to 4 years compared with medical therapy alone among patients without contralateral stenosis who were good procedural candidates.

Screening for Early-Stage Type 1 Diabetes in Children
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854198
To the Editor A recent article provided the first long-term evidence on presymptomatic type 1 diabetes prevalence and progression in the general pediatric population in Germany. Notably, the progression to clinical type 1 diabetes did not differ significantly based on first-degree family history. Based on their findings, the authors concluded that screening should be expanded “beyond genetically selected populations.” As an editorial in JAMA noted, these findings call for a broader screening approach than the latest American Diabetes Association guidelines, which recommend screening based on family history or genetic risk.

The Dangers of Perverted Appetite
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854261
Abnormalities of appetite involve a considerable variety of peculiarities in food intake. Aversion to food may range in intensity from the ordinary anorexia, or loss of appetite, that is familiar to physicians, to an extreme loathing for food. A recent writer has remarked that bulimia, or increase of appetite, is certainly not abnormal so long as it is a simple demand for increased food, as in convalescence; although it might be described as perverted at the court of the emperor Nero, where decadent diners retired for emesis between courses. The “craving sensation” common in catarrhal gastritis and temporarily relieved by eating, and the similar sensation observed in worm infections in children, we are further reminded, are commonly attributed to irritation of the intestinal tract, without further attempt to relate clinically observed effect with physiologic cause.
