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.
Download or read book Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis written by Ulrich Costabel and published by European Respiratory Society. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a steadily progressive and ultimately fatal disease of unknown origin. Recent years have seen advances in our understanding of IPF and a number of guidelines have been published. But many questions remain unanswered, particularly surrounding probable versus definite IPF. This Monograph aims to discuss the latest achievements in IPF, and covers key diagnostic issues, staging of the disease, complications and comorbidities, treatment, unmet patient needs and perspectives for the future. This book will be of interest to all clinicians and researchers in this area.

Download or read book COPD written by Cormac McCarthy and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is estimated to become the third most common cause of death over the next decade. The knowledge of COPD pathogenesis and the disease course has greatly improved this progression in understanding and continues to have significant implications in the management of this condition. Novel areas of interest in COPD pathogenesis include further development of animal models, a better understanding of the genetics and epigenetics, the role of the microbiome, and an increasing appreciation of the associated comorbidities. This book intends to provide the reader with a brief overview of these topics and also provide an in-depth review of the current nonpharmacological clinical approaches to managing patients with COPD.

Download or read book Lung Adenocarcinoma From Genomics to Immunotherapy written by Yiming Meng and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-19 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer and is the leading cause of cancer death globally. In 2018, almost 2.1 million new cases were diagnosed, accounting for ~12% of the cancer burden worldwide. The malignant stage of lung tumor is known as lung adenocarcinoma, which is most common and is diagnosed in both smokers and non-smokers.There are two main types of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Genomic studies have indicated that more than 80% of lung malignancies are classified as NSCLC, of which adenocarcinoma is a predominant subtype. Although significant progress has been made in treating tumor with targetable driver mutations, like EGFR mutations, most tumor do not have such mutations and the prognosis remains poor for metastasis stage patients. Platinum doublet chemotherapy has been the mainstay first-line treatment of patients who are diagnosed with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma without a targetable mutation.In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a treatment option that has shown strong response in a subset of patients. The immune agents block crucial checkpoints and regulate the immune response, but the tumor cells evade the patient’s immune systems. By blocking these receptor–ligand interactions, a particular subset of T cells is activated to recognize and respond to tumor cells. While such responses to immunotherapy are promising, they have only been effective in ~20% of patients.
