It’s time to apply for the ASPET editorial fellowship. Come join us at JPET and get a behind the scenes view of the journal!!,

Time to fall back! Don’t forget to set your clocks tonight.

If you haven’t yet, please follow JPET! An excellent journal with over 100 years of publishing cutting-edge pharmacology research. Earliest full-text PDF date is 1909!!!!!!

Have a happy Halloween from the Gross Lab!

In 1 week! Looking forward to our first Stanford data blitz at R&D. Lots of really amazing science going on within the department.

Cyllage City COVID-19 Outbreak Linked to Zubat Consumption A localized outbreak of COVID-19 pneumonia in Cyllage City among a population with no history of travel to infected regions has been tentatively linked to consumption of the regional insectivorous zubat (Vespertilio caeruleus sineoculus, Pseudochiroptera), supported by amino acid sequence similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and a related coronavirus from the bats. An increased need for surveillance of bat viruses in Kalos is warranted.

Still online since 2020: Cyllage City COVID-19 Outbreak Linked to Zubat Consumption.
One of the lines: “Epidemiologists believe it is highly likely that a journal publishing this paper does not practice peer review and must therefore be predatory.”Check it out: DOI: 10.34297/AJBSR.2020.08.001256

Less than 1 week to submit abstracts to AUA!!! Due November 2nd. See you all in Seattle. Looking forward to the meeting.

Looking forward to the Stanford vs. U Miami game tonight!

Tomorrow is the 4th Annual Stanford Research Park Symposium and Poster Session. This annual event provides an excellent opportunity for students and postdocs to share their research and showcase their projects that they have been working on.

Happy Back to the Future Day!

Dr. Alopi Patel uses “verbal anesthesia” — calming patients with guided imagery before surgery. She reminds us that anesthesia, once controversial, is now the cornerstone that makes modern surgery possible.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the FAER academic giving competition. Stanford raised $21,329.50 while earning 3rd place this year in the competition. Thank you to all the Stanford colleagues who helped make this happen!

A post shared by Eric Gross Lab (@gross__lab) It’s interview season@stanfordanesthesia. Looking forward to all the future Stanford Anesthesiology Residents. Check out our informational video about the resident research pathway.

Check out the new Resident Research Pathway at Stanford. Check out our new Instagram post for the full video.

Vaping (E-Cigarettes): What It Is, Side Effects & Dangers Vaping is when you use a handheld device to breathe in a mist (“vapor”). Vaping can cause breathing problems, organ damage, addiction and other conditions.

Check out what the Cleveland clinic has to say about the risks of vaping.

Since January 1, 2025 California prohibited the sale of flavored tobacco products. This is a step in the right direction towards a healthier future!

Tomorrow is the last day to donate for the FAER academic giving competition! If you have not donated already, please donate to FAER to support the next generation of academic researchers in Anesthesiology.

It’s ASA week, which means the FAER Academic Giving Competition is here! Please consider supporting FAER—an incredible organization funding anesthesiology research and early-stage investigators.

Cannot wait for the upcoming Anesthesiology meeting in San Antonio! It will be nice to reconnect with people at the fall meeting.

We’d like to welcome Nay Tha who will be working with us as part of the California TRDRP Smoke Vape Scholars Initiative. Welcome Nay!!!! We look forward to working with you.

Interestingly, different electronic cigarettes contain different amounts of aldehydes, with variations among different flavors. Read more about the e-cigarette findings here:

The Surgeon General has a warning for parents: the vapes that teens are using are hurting their brains, lungs, and hearts.

The AHA put together a great infographic for adults and teens to learn more about e-cigarettes.

Looking forward to our presentation today at the APAMSA Northeast Regional Conference at Weill Cornell! Lucy Shang will be representing our group to talk about the health risks of alcohol flushing.

In our Redox Biology manuscript we found that e-cigarettes increase oxidative stress in the cardiopulmonary system. When subjecting mice carrying the ALDH2*2 variant to e-cigarette aerosol, the increase in oxidative stress levels is greater when compared to wild type ALDH2 rodents.

We have used a real-time SIFT-MS technique to quantify aldehyde levels in e-cigarette aerosol. Check out our publication in Redox Biology
doi.org/10.1016/j.re....

Both vapes and cigarettes have aldehydes, including acetaldehyde - the intermediate made in the breakdown of alcohol. People with the ALDH2 variant have a hard time breaking down the reactive aldehydes from alcohol, cigarettes, and vapes leading to the build up of harmful aldehydes.

Unlike alcohol which is metabolized to acetaldehyde within the body, you can also inhale aldehydes. One source of inhaled aldehydes is e-cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes. #aldehydes #ALDH2 #ecigarettes
