Comparison of Cotinine Salivary Levels in Hookah Smokers, Passive Smokers, and Non-Smokers
Background: At present smoking is considered a great health-related problem. Smoking cigarettes and use of tobacco are on the rise in the Middle East countries; therefore, the number of people exposed to passive cigarette smoke is increasing, too. The aim of the present study was to determine and compare salivary cotinine levels in hookah smokers, individuals exposed to passive cigarette smoke ...
متن کاملIncreased levels of interleukin-8 in BAL fluid from smokers susceptible to pulmonary emphysema.
BACKGROUND It has previously been shown that smokers with computed tomographic (CT) evidence of subclinical emphysema have signs of neutrophil activation, despite having no appreciable increase in the number of neutrophils in their bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. METHODS The levels of the following chemoattractants in BAL fluid from 61 community based older volunteers classified into four...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of pulmonary perfusion as a mechanistic image-based phenotype in emphysema susceptible smokers.
Recent evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction and pathology of pulmonary vascular responses may serve as a precursor to smoking-associated emphysema. Although it is known that emphysematous destruction leads to vasculature changes, less is known about early regional vascular dysfunction which may contribute to and precede emphysematous changes. We sought to test the hypothesis, via mult...
متن کاملSerum thiocyanate levels in smokers, passive smokers and never smokers.
OBJECTIVE To compare the serum thiocyanate levels in smokers, passive smokers and never smokers. METHODS Serum thiocyanate was analyzed on 135 self reported smokers, never smokers and passive smokers by UV-Spectrophotometry (Manual method of Bowler). RESULTS The mean serum thiocyanate concentration (112 +/- 36.6 micromol/L) of smokers was significantly higher (p value < 0.001) as compared t...
