BACKGROUND Although cigarette smoking has been implicated as an important risk factor for the development of respiratory symptoms, the perceptional aspects of two symptoms in smokers have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we simultaneously evaluated the cough reflex sensitivity, the cognition of urge-to-cough and perception of dyspnea in both healthy smokers and non-smokers. METHODS Fourt...
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the main cancer types, with high incidence and mortality in Norway. We examined the association between different measures of smoking exposure and CRC mortality overall and by subsite in a large Norwegian cohort. METHODS We followed 602,242 participants from four Norwegian health surveys, aged 19-67 years at enrollment between 1972 and 2003 by link...
What are the relative sensitivities and specificities of the "early" tests of lung dysfunction? We describe the findings from a study of virtually the entire population of a rural pollution-free community. Using abnormal spirometry as a marker of obstructive disease, we evaluated the two tests obtained from the single-breath nitrogen curve, closing volume (CV/VC) and the slope of the alveolar p...
PURPOSE We aimed to identify serum metabolites as potential valuable biomarkers for lung cancer and to improve risk stratification in smokers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed global metabolomic profiling followed by targeted validation of individual metabolites in a case-control design of 386 lung cancer cases and 193 matched controls. We then validated bilirubin, which consistently showed s...
BACKGROUND Spermatozoa are a group of cells that consume adenosine triphosphate (ATP) rapidly. Creatine kinase (CK), produced by creatine phosphate, is an energy reservoir for the rapid buffering and regeneration of ATP and can play an important role in sperm motility. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of cigarette smoking on human sperm CK activity in males who smoke. MATERIALS ...
For most of the past 100 years, lung cancer has generally been thought of as a disease primarily affecting men. In the past several decades, however, the incidence of lung cancer has risen among women in the United States and most other parts of the world. While incidence is still higher among men than among women, the gap has narrowed and lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer deat...
A study on the oral health status of 198 factory workers (in Antara Steel, Pasir Gudang, Johor) was carried out in November 1986. The subjects were predominantly male (94%) and Malay (91%) with an average age of 27.4 years. The prevalence of caries was 87.4% with a mean DMFT of 7.1 + 5.4. There were 3 subjects with full upper, lower dentures and 16 subjects with partial dentures. Two subjects e...
BACKGROUND Job stressors may reduce the likelihood of quitting smoking. AIMS To assess the association between job strain, smoking behaviour and smoking cessation among Malaysian male employees involved in a smoking cessation programme. METHODS The study was conducted among employees in two major public universities in Malaysia. All staff from both universities received an invitation to par...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Smoking plays a dominant role in premature atherosclerosis particularly among males in South Asian countries. It initiates and promotes atherosclerosis by altering cardiac haemodynamics, causing dyslipidaemia and producing oxidative damage. Not much information is available from our country. We therefore undertook this study to see the effect of smoking on electrocardi...
