Passive smoking in the home: plasma cotinine concentrations in non-smokers with smoking partners.
BACKGROUND Risks of lung cancer and of heart disease attributable to passive smoking have been evaluated mainly in non-smokers married to smokers, but there has been little quantitative assessment of the extent of exposure in marriage partners as indicated by markers of inhaled smoke dose. OBJECTIVE To relate plasma cotinine concentrations in non-smoking English adults to the smoking behaviou...
متن کاملDaily concentrations of air pollution and plasma fibrinogen in London.
OBJECTIVES The reason for the association between air pollution and risk of cardiovascular diseases is unknown. The hypothesis was examined that daily concentrations of air pollution are associated with daily concentrations of fibrinogen, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. METHODS Data on concentrations of plasma fibrinogen for 4982 male and 2223 female office workers, collected in a c...
متن کاملSmoking acutely increases plasma ghrelin concentrations.
To the Editor: Smoking and smoking cessation are associated with weight changes (1), and many smokers give weight gain as a primary reason for not trying to quit smoking (2). A relationship has been reported between smoking and plasma concentrations of ghrelin, a 28-amino acid growth hormone– releasing peptide secreted mainly by the stomach (3–5). Our primary aim was to determine whether smokin...
متن کاملFibrinogen concentrate substitution therapy in patients with massive haemorrhage and low plasma fibrinogen concentrations.
BACKGROUND Patients experiencing massive haemorrhage are at high risk of developing coagulopathy through loss, consumption, and dilution of coagulation factors and platelets. It has been reported that plasma fibrinogen concentrations may reach a critical low level relatively early during bleeding, calling for replacement fibrinogen therapy. Cryoprecipitate has been widely used in the past, but ...
متن کاملPlasma fibrinogen concentrations after intravenous administration of fibrinopeptides to rats.
Kropatkin & Izak (1968) demonstrated a twofold increase in plasma fibrinogen concentrations in rabbits 24h after the intravenous administration of the soluble breakdown products liberated by the action of thrombin on rabbit fibrinogen. They suggested that the fibrinopeptides A and B released by thrombin might stimulate fibrinogen synthesis in the liver. These findings appeared to provide a poss...
