Increasing smokers' risk perception improves CT screening participation.
We read with interest the article by Patel et al and wish to comment on their findings with specific regard to smokers’ risk perception, motivation and low participation rates in CT screening programmes. Based on the studies to date, there is a consistent theme that smokers’ participation in CT screening programmes for lung cancer is poor when their motivation is low and much greater when their...
متن کاملACCP: High-Risk Smokers Warrant CT Screening
SAN FRANCISCO – A proposed new definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome describes categories based on mild, moderate, or severe hypoxemia that correlate increasing severity with significantly increased mortality or increased time on mechanical ventilation among survivors. The draft definition, created under a consensus process by an international panel of experts, was refined by empiri...

متن کاملTempol improves cutaneous thermal hyperemia through increasing nitric oxide bioavailability in young smokers.
We recently found that young cigarette smokers display cutaneous vascular dysfunction relative to nonsmokers, which is partially due to reduced nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS)-dependent vasodilation. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that reducing oxidative stress improves NO bioavailability, enhancing cutaneous vascular function in young smokers. Ten healthy young male smokers, who had ...
متن کاملLung cancer risk prediction to select smokers for screening CT--a model based on the Italian COSMOS trial.
Screening with low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) has been shown to significantly reduce lung cancer mortality but the optimal target population and time interval to subsequent screening are yet to be defined. We developed two models to stratify individual smokers according to risk of developing lung cancer. We first used the number of lung cancers detected at baseline screening CT in th...
