Oxidative stress and accelerated vascular aging: implications for cigarette smoking.
Cigarette smoking is the major cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States and constitutes a major risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease, including coronary artery disease and stroke. Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that oxidative stress and inflammation provide the pathophysiological link between cigarette smoking and CAD. Previous studies have show...
متن کاملBiochemistry and Aging
As important as genes are, they do not act in a vacuum. Everyday metabolic activities—even breathing—expose cells to biochemical substances that can promote random DNAdamage and other cellular breakdowns. Of these factors, oxygen radicals and crosslinking of proteins have become focal points of scientific exploration. Gerontologists also are studying other important proteins—heat shock proteins...
متن کامل[Exposure to passive smoking among current smokers and non-smokers].
INTRODUCTION Few studies have evaluated exposure to passive smoking among current smokers. The aim of our study was to assess environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in current smokers, as well as attitudes towards smoking. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used a questionnaire containing questions about epidemiological information and the history of smoking, including exposure to ETS. The study was conducte...
متن کاملSmokers' expectations to quit smoking.
We investigate the effectiveness of different smoking policies on smokers' expectations to quit smoking using a choice experiment on a sample of smokers identified within the World Health Organization (WHO) MONICA Project. Our results indicate that restricted availability, increased cigarette prices, cessation subsidies and regulations at restaurants, bars and cafes increase the expected probab...
متن کاملPseudohypacusis and Appropriate Strategies to Detect and Quantify the Condition
In Chapter 1, the high incidence of exaggerated hearing test results in the South African mining industry, as well as the negative impact this exaggeration potentially has in terms of cost and the effectiveness of audiological centres, was described. This sets the scene for this study which attempts to evaluate one possible way to address deliberate exaggeration of hearing loss on the part of n...
