Bioterrorism and CBRNe threats
Background and aim The Ebola virus poses a critical threat to global public health due to its high lethality and transmissibility. Beyond natural outbreaks, concerns persist about its potential exploitation as a biological weapon (BW) in bioterrorism. Methods This study adopted a scoping review methodology (PRISMA-ScR framework) to map evidence on Ebola as a bioterrorism agent and CBRNe countermeasures. PubMed, Web of Science, and JSTOR were sear…
Food Inhibitory Control and Reward Responsiveness in Healthy Aging
Objectives Living in a complex food environment, humans face numerous decisions and choices every day. These decisions necessitate cognitive resources and the ability to balance metabolic needs with gratification. This study sought to examine whether aging enhances responses to food stimuli due to reduced inhibitory control or reduces such responses due to a decline in the motivational system. Methods 50 young adults, aged 20–30 years, and 55 old…
Pediatric Covid-TB
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and tuberculosis (TB) are currently two major causes of death among infectious diseases. Active tuberculosis and a history of tuberculosis appear to be associated with an increased risk of COVID-19. This coinfection, named COVID-TB, was never described in previously healthy children. We report three cases of pediatric COVID-TB. We describe three girls affected by tuberculosis, who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2…
Severe Covid-19 Complicated by Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in a Newborn Successfully Treated with Remdesivir, Glucocorticoids, and Hyperimmune Plasma
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, affecting all age groups with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation ranging from asymptomatic to severe interstitial pneumonia, hyperinflammation, and death. Children and infants generally show a mild course of the disease, although infants have been observed to have a higher risk of hospitalization and severe outco…
Lack of Substantial Post-Cessation Weight Increase in Electronic Cigarettes Users
Minimization of post-cessation weight gain in quitters is important, but existing approaches (e.g., antismoking medications) shows only limited success. We investigated changes in body weight in smokers who quit or reduced substantially their cigarette consumption by switching to electronic cigarettes (ECs) use. Body weight and smoking/vaping history were extracted from medical records of smokers and ex-smokers to match three study groups: (1) re…
Blood Pressure Control in Smokers with Arterial Hypertension Who Switched to Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are battery-operated devices designed to vaporise nicotine, which may help smokers with quitting or reducing their tobacco consumption. No data is available regarding the health effects of ECs use among smokers with arterial hypertension and whether regular use results in blood pressure (BP) changes. We investigated long-term changes in resting BP and level of BP control in hypertensive smokers who quit or reduced subs…
Effect of Smoking Abstinence and Reduction in Asthmatic Smokers Switching to Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are marketed as safer alternatives to tobacco cigarettes and have shown to reduce their consumption. Here we report for the first time the effects of e-cigs on subjective and objective asthma parameters as well as tolerability in asthmatic smokers who quit or reduced their tobacco consumption by switching to these products. We retrospectively reviewed changes in spirometry data, airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR), as…
Success rates with nicotine personal vaporizers
(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02124200)
EffiCiency and Safety of an eLectronic cigAreTte (Eclat) as Tobacco Cigarettes Substitute
BACKGROUND: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are becoming increasingly popular with smokers worldwide. Users report buying them to help quit smoking, to reduce cigarette consumption, to relieve tobacco withdrawal symptoms, and to continue having a 'smoking' experience, but with reduced health risks. Research on e-cigarettes is urgently needed in order to ensure that the decisions of regulators, healthcare providers and consumers are based on …
Impact of an Electronic Cigarette on Smoking Reduction and Cessation in Schizophrenic Smokers
We have shown for the first time that the use of e-cigarette substantially decreased cigarette consumption without causing significant side effects in chronic schizophrenic patients who smoke not intending to quit. This was achieved without negative impacts on the symptoms of schizophrenia as assessed by SAPS and SANS symptoms scales
Effect of an electronic nicotine delivery device (e-Cigarette) on smoking reduction and cessation
The use of e-Cigarette substantially decreased cigarette consumption without causing significant side effects in smokers not intending to quit (http://ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT01195597)
