Otitis media (OM) continues to be a major health problem of children in the United States. The role of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) as a predisposing factor has not been completely discerned. This study and discussion is an investigation and review of the influence of passive cigarette smoking
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has remained a controversial risk factor for otitis media in children. This study evaluates the association between exposure to ETS and recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) in 85 cases and 85 age and gender matched controls under the age of 5 years. Cases
Tobacco smoke exposure has been attributed to a myriad of pediatric clinical outcomes, with a staggering financial burden to society. This article is an examination of published research that has focused on the relationship between tobacco smoke exposure and pediatric otitis media. The weight of
To determine whether tobacco smoke contributes to the pathogenesis of acute otitis media, chinchillas were exposed to mainstream tobacco smoke or sham conditions (cigarettes not lit) in a Walton smoke exposure machine for 20-minute cycles two or three times daily. After 6 to 8 weeks of daily
BACKGROUND
Many, but not all, studies have found a correlation between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and acute otitis media (AOM) and other adverse otologic outcomes. Given its high personal and societal costs and the divergent findings of the effect of ETS on middle ear disease, the aim of the
Parental smoking is a possible risk factor in the development of secretory otitis media (SOM) in children. This experiment was designed to determine, using rats as an experimental model, whether exposures to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) produce SOM and whether ETS exposure affects the rate of
Environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) is a health hazard experienced by one half to two thirds of the nation's children younger than 5 years of age. Although the role of environmental tobacco smoke in the genesis of pulmonary disease in children has been increasingly recognized, somewhat

OBJECTIVE
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) poses an impact on the health of the newborns and infants. In Germany research about the tobacco-attributable morbidity and mortality has been conducted to a very small extent. This analysis examines all data from 16 federal states in regard to
Parental smoking is considered to be an important risk factor for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). We studied the concentrations of nicotine and cotinine in the pericardial fluid of SIDS and non-SIDS victims, with particular emphasis on the relationship to body position at the time of death

The endotoxin receptor soluble CD14 (sCD14) has been implicated in the 'hygiene hypothesis' suggesting reduced allergic sensitization with bacterial stimulation. However, the relationship between early life sCD14 and allergic diseases is conflicting. We aimed to investigate whether possible risk
OBJECTIVE
This study investigated the association between the prevalence of oral health problems (caries, gingivitis, mucosal pigmentation and enamel defects in one to 5 year-old children exposed and not exposed to environmental tobacco smoke before and/or after birth. Exposure to environmental
