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 Exhaled Biomarkers of Energy Substrate Metabolism written by Timothy Do Chau Minh and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volatile organic compounds (VOC) analysis, thanks to marked recent technical advances, is emerging as one of the most promising tools for the development of innovative research and clinical methodologies. The general premise to this proposal is that in states of altered metabolism, such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), important changes may occur in patterns of exhaled VOCs, reflecting endogenous changes at the tissue and cellular levels. In this dissertation project, we performed complex in vivo metabolic clamping experiments on both healthy and diabetic subjects, during which we collected matched breath, room air, and blood samples. Concentrations of ~100 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were then identified and quantified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Corresponding plasma glucose was measured by a high-precision glucometer; insulin and lipid concentrations were measured by ELISA. We then developed predictive algorithms allowing the non-invasive, breath-based measurement of key metabolic variables (plasma glucose and lipids) using multilinear regression analysis. Furthermore, we developed several metrics to assess the stability of VOCs and predictive algorithms across various metabolic perturbations over time. The general rationale for these studies is that current methodologies used to measure critical metabolic variables (plasma glucose, insulin, cholesterol panel) require invasive blood draws, are expensive, and can be painful. The broader, downstream goal of the project is to translate this technology into practical clinical devices that will simplify monitoring of these blood variables. Such alternative, non-invasive testing strategies will likely greatly improve prevention, diagnosis and everyday management of diabetes mellitus and other related conditions (e.g. obesity, cardiovascular disease).

Download or read book Volatile Organic Biomarkers in Exhaled Breath as a Rapid Prodromal Diagnosis of Bioagent Infection written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have studied the feasibility of using biomarkers in exhaled breath as a prodromal diagnostic for bioagent infection. A compact sampling system was developed and used to collect more than 75 breath samples from 9 piglets. Three of the sampled piglets were uninfected control animals, three were infected with staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), and three with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (A.p.). We found that: volatile markers appeared several hours before outwardly noticeable physical symptoms of illness; volatile profiles for infected piglets were distinct from the uninfected animals and room background air samples; and the volatile profiles for SEB and A.p. were different.
Download or read book Public Health Consequences of E Cigarettes written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans use e-cigarettes. Despite their popularity, little is known about their health effects. Some suggest that e-cigarettes likely confer lower risk compared to combustible tobacco cigarettes, because they do not expose users to toxicants produced through combustion. Proponents of e-cigarette use also tout the potential benefits of e-cigarettes as devices that could help combustible tobacco cigarette smokers to quit and thereby reduce tobacco-related health risks. Others are concerned about the exposure to potentially toxic substances contained in e-cigarette emissions, especially in individuals who have never used tobacco products such as youth and young adults. Given their relatively recent introduction, there has been little time for a scientific body of evidence to develop on the health effects of e-cigarettes. Public Health Consequences of E-Cigarettes reviews and critically assesses the state of the emerging evidence about e-cigarettes and health. This report makes recommendations for the improvement of this research and highlights gaps that are a priority for future research.
