Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug abuse persists as one of the most costly and contentious problems on the nation's agenda. Pathways of Addiction meets the need for a clear and thoughtful national research agenda that will yield the greatest benefit from today's limited resources. The committee makes its recommendations within the public health framework and incorporates diverse fields of inquiry and a range of policy positions. It examines both the demand and supply aspects of drug abuse. Pathways of Addiction offers a fact-filled, highly readable examination of drug abuse issues in the United States, describing findings and outlining research needs in the areas of behavioral and neurobiological foundations of drug abuse. The book covers the epidemiology and etiology of drug abuse and discusses several of its most troubling health and social consequences, including HIV, violence, and harm to children. Pathways of Addiction looks at the efficacy of different prevention interventions and the many advances that have been made in treatment research in the past 20 years. The book also examines drug treatment in the criminal justice setting and the effectiveness of drug treatment under managed care. The committee advocates systematic study of the laws by which the nation attempts to control drug use and identifies the research questions most germane to public policy. Pathways of Addiction provides a strategic outline for wise investment of the nation's research resources in drug abuse. This comprehensive and accessible volume will have widespread relevanceâ€"to policymakers, researchers, research administrators, foundation decisionmakers, healthcare professionals, faculty and students, and concerned individuals.
Download or read book New Medications for Drug Abuse written by Stanley D. Glick and published by New York Academy of Sciences. This book was released on 2001-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of new medications for pain and drug abuse is a serious and pressing issue in the medical world of addiction treatments. Edited by Stanley Glick and Isabelle Maisonneuve, this book focuses on collected studies performed and recorded by leading doctors and researchers in the field of drug research. Research on the problems associated with pharmacology of drug abuse demands not only the determination of the mechanisms of cellular action of the addictive substances, but also short- and long-term physiological effects of addiction and of treatment, including the course of withdrawal symptoms. This volume focuses on protocols for development of new pharmacotherapies for drug abuse, including alcoholism and smoking; bridging animal and human models; preclinical assessment models; new approaches to treatment of pain during withdrawal; new treatments for stimulant and opioid addictions. Larger-scale social issues posed by this seemingly refractory problem, such as prenatal cocaine exposure and the legacy of methadone, are also examined. Presenting their results with worldwide public health issues in mind, this distinguished group of contributors tackle the present and potential problems concerning drug abuse medications. Contributors include Jean Bidlack, Frank Porreca, Lindsay Hough, Gerald Gebhart, Thomas Kosten, Nancy Mello, Stevens Negus, David Self, David Roberts, Donald Landry, George Koob, Mary Jeanne Kreek, Richard Keller, Edward Sellers, and Jack Henningfield.
Download or read book Preventing HIV Transmission written by National Research Council and Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-09-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the interface of two major national problems: the epidemic of HIV-AIDS and the widespread use of illegal injection drugs. Should communities have the option of giving drug users sterile needles or bleach for cleaning needs in order to reduce the spread of HIV? Does needle distribution worsen the drug problem, as opponents of such programs argue? Do they reduce the spread of other serious diseases, such as hepatitis? Do they result in more used needles being carelessly discarded in the community? The panel takes a critical look at the available data on needle exchange and bleach distribution programs, reaches conclusions about their efficacy, and offers concrete recommendations for public policy to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. The book includes current knowledge about the epidemiologies of HIV/AIDS and injection drug use; characteristics of needle exchange and bleach distribution programs and views on those programs from diverse community groups; and a discussion of laws designed to control possession of needles, their impact on needle sharing among injection drug users, and their implications for needle exchange programs.
