Abstract Introduction From May 20, 2017, cigarettes in the United Kingdom must be sold in standardized (plain) packaging. We explore postimplementation reactions to standardized cigarette packaging among never-smokers in Scotland, whether reactions vary in relation to permitted variations in pack structure, and whether reactions are associated with susceptibility. Aims and Methods A cross-sectional survey with 12–17-year-old never-smokers (n = 507) in Scotland, conducted November 2017–November 2018. Participants were shown one “regular” standardized cigarette pack (flip-top lid and straight-edged pack, similar to designs in Australia) and three standardized packs with varied pack structures (beveled-edges, slim pack, and shoulder box), which are permitted postimplementation in the United Kingdom. Participants rated each pack on eight five-point reaction measures (eg, attractiveness). Participants also indicated which pack, if any, they would choose. Smoking susceptibility was the outcome. Results The mean reaction scores for all four packs were mostly negative, however the shoulder box was consistently rated less negatively than the regular, slim, or beveled-edge packs. Most participants (87%) said they would not select any of the four packs, although susceptible participants were more likely to select one than nonsusceptible participants (25% vs. 7%; χ 2 = 29.70; p < .001). For all four packs, not finding them off-putting was associated with susceptibility (Adjusted Odds Ratio range: 2.73–3.69), albeit only a minority of adolescents did not find each pack off-putting. Conclusions Adolescents have negative reactions to the standardized cigarette packs implemented in the United Kingdom, albeit permitted variations in structure can reduce the extent of negativity. Most reactions to standardized packaging had no association with susceptibility. Implications We provide the first empirical evidence that adolescents find the standardized cigarette packs implemented in the United Kingdom unappealing and that most pack reactions have no association with susceptibility among never-smokers, with the exception of the minority who did not think that they would put them off smoking. This suggests that the legislation is achieving one of its primary aims, to reduce the appeal of packaging. That permitted variations in pack structure (eg, shoulder boxes) somewhat reduce negative reactions suggests that the United Kingdom, and other countries introducing similar legislation, should ensure that all aspects of pack design are fully standardized.

Background: Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute polyradiculopathy which is quite common in all ages. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and electrophysiologicaspects of Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) in children. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Neurophysiology of National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital, Bangladesh from July 2016 to June 2018. Patients under 18 years of age fulfilling Brighton diagnostic criteria for GBS were included in this study. These patients were evaluated by detailed history, physical examination, and electrophysiological findings. Results: A total of 82 patients of GBS were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 12.93± 5.02 years (range 1 to<18 years). Most of the patients were male (64.6%) and from the middle-income group (70.73%). About Fourty eight percent of patients had a history of preceding illness among which gastrointestinal infection(24.3%) was the most common. Tingling and paresthesiaswas complained by 32.4% of patients as the first symptom. AMAN(61%) was the most common GBS variant followed by AIDP(26.8%). 9 (11%) patients needed ICU support among them AIDP was more frequent. Conclusion: AMAN is the most common variant among children in this population by electrophysiologic testing. Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2019;5(1): 2-7
