    Abstract Background: Cisplatin is an effective synthetic chemotherapeutic drug used for cancer treatment. Vitamin B12 has been shown to possess anti-genotoxic activity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin B12 on chromosomal damage induced by cisplatin.
    Methods: The level of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosomal aberrations (CAs) were measured in cultured human blood lymphocytes treated with cisplatin and/or vitamin B12.
    Results: The results showed a significantly elevated frequency of CAs and SCEs of cisplatin-treated cultures compared to the control (P < 0.05). The CAs and SCEs induced by cisplatin were significantly lowered by pretreatment of cell cultures with vitamin B12. In addition, cisplatin caused a slight reduction in the mitotic index (MI), while vitamin B12 did not modulate the effect of cisplatin on MI.
    Conclusion: Vitamin B12 can protect human lymphocytes against genotoxicity associated with cisplatin.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was detrimental to lifestyle and behavior. In this investigation, changes in reading habits during the pandemic were examined.
    Methods: The study is cross-sectional and survey-based. 1844 individuals completed an online survey about sociodemographic and reading habits during COVID-19. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between the study variables.
    Results: Most of the participants were active readers (71.5%-83.2%). Fewer (13.8-18.0%) reported a decrease in reading, while about half reported a no change, and 1/3
    Conclusion: About half of the participants during the pandemic reported a change in reading habits. Interventions to further enhance reading among people during the pandemic might help ameliorate the negative impacts of the pandemic.

    Abstract Background: Various aspects of lifestyle seem to change during confinement, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study examines confinement's effects on tobacco smoking habits (SH).
    Methods: A survey was distributed among adults living in Jordan (age >18 years) of both genders during April-May of 2020, of which 1925 responded to the survey.
    Results: The prevalence of smoking was 33.3%, 46.1%, and 21.1% for cigarettes (Cg), waterpipe (Wp), and E-cigarettes (ECg), respectively. Among the smokers, 38.5-45.8% reported a "no-change," while 32.1-41.7% reported a "decrease" in SH during confinement. On the other hand, 18.0-22.1% reported an "increase" in the SH. However, concerning the factors that might affect SH, the results showed that age, gender, income, and job sector contribute to the observed changes.
    Conclusions: Changes in the SH during COVID-19 have been reported in about 50% of participants who smoke tobacco, with a more reported decrease than increase in use. Studies and interventions are needed to confirm further and understand the current results and discourage smoking during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin condition that affects both children and adults. Adipokines have been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of AD. In the current study, the association between adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) polymorphisms and AD was investigated. In addition, changes in serum adiponectin levels in AD patients were examined. Restriction fragment length polymorphism-PCR technique was used to genotype ADIPOQ SNPs. The ELISA assay was used to measure serum Adiponectin levels. A total of 324 participants (162 AD and 162 healthy controls) were included in the study. The frequency of the GG genotype of rs3774261 was higher in the AD group (44.5%) than in the control group (32.7%, P<0.05). Regarding the rs2241766 SNP, the frequency of the GG genotype was higher in the AD group (10.5%) than in the control group (3.1%), while the frequency of the TT genotype was lower (P<0.001) in the AD group (35.8%) than the control group (57.4%). Moreover, the GG haplotype of rs3774261 and rs2241766 significantly increased the risk of AD by about 2-fold (P<0.05). Finally, serum adiponectin levels were lower in the AD group than in the control group (P<0.05). These results indicate an association of the rs2241766 and rs3774261 SNPs with the risk of developing AD among the population examined.

    Abstract (1) Background: War and displacement are well-known predictors of negative mental health outcomes among affected populations.

    Abstract Despite significant declines in breast cancer (BC) incidence in the West, this disease is widespread in Jordan, where cancer detection occurs at much advanced stages. This is particularly concerning for Syrian refugee women resettled in Jordan, who are less likely to undergo cancer preventative procedures because of poor health literacy and lack of health services access. The present work assesses and compares breast cancer awareness and breast cancer screening behaviors among Syrian refugee women and Jordanian women residing close to the Syrian-Jordanian border city of
