colic/nicotine

OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and smoking during pregnancy and infantile colic in the offspring. METHODS We used data from maternal interviews (from pregnancy and at 6 months post partum) from the Danish National Birth Cohort (1996-2002).

The effects of nicotine on the longitudinal muscle of the rabbit muscular organ (ileo-colic sphincter) have been studied. Nicotine in doses from 1 to 10 mug/ml. inhibits the pendular movements of the muscle. This inhibition can also be produced by acetylcholine in the presence of atropine. In both

OBJECTIVE To describe the health impact of harvesting tobacco and to suggest prevention and risk reduction strategies to avoid contracting green tobacco sickness (GTS). METHODS A literature search of Medline, Toxline, and Toxline65 with the terms "green", "tobacco", and "sickness" covering the years

OBJECTIVE To identify infant health outcomes that have been empirically associated with environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in current international research literature. METHODS Reports of infant ETS exposure, obtained using computerized searches of CINAHL and Medline databases, were

During the harvest period, tobacco workers are exposed to nicotine and it is known that absorption of the alkaloid via the leaves causes green tobacco sickness (GST). We investigated if GST and its symptoms are associated with DNA damage and alterations of the redox status. DNA damage was measured

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) during pregnancy as well as during postnatal period has been shown to be potentially responsible for variety of diseases, including premature delivery, upper and lower respiratory illnesses, asthma or behavioral disturbances (colic, attention deficient disorders).

Mecamylamine (MCL) has been shown to extinguish nicotine dependence in rats and monkeys. MCL was administered to fourteen nicotine-dependent persons to determine if it may be effective in withdrawing nicotine-dependent humans at doses which have acceptable toxicity. Subjects smoked 20 to 60

Pregnant women should be advised of the significant perinatal risks associated with tobacco use, including orofacial clefts, fetal growth restriction, placenta previa, abruptio placentae, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, low birth weight, increased perinatal mortality, ectopic pregnancy, and

Infantile colic occurs in 1/3 of all infants and is still a medical mystery. This paper reviews the etiology and the documented therapies. The overall aim is to avoid that inefficient forms of medication are used for this indication. It is not yet known whether colic is a dysfunction related to

Infantile colic is a benign process in which an infant has paroxysms of inconsolable crying for more than three hours per day, more than three days per week, for longer than three weeks. It affects approximately 10% to 40% of infants worldwide and peaks at around six weeks of age, with symptoms

This study presents a comparison of the topical pheromonotropic activity in the tobacco budworm moth of a series of amphiphilic pseudopeptide analogs of the insect pyrokinin/PBAN peptide class incorporating fatty acids of varying chain lengths. While the C16 analog fails to penetrate the moth

BACKGROUND Infants' healthy growth and development are predicated, in part, on regular functioning of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In the first 6 months of life, infants typically double their birth weights. During this period of intense growth, the GI tract needs to be highly active and to

Green tobacco sickness occurs from transdermal absorption of chemicals from freshly harvested, green tobacco leaves. Signs and symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headache, and abdominal cramps. Prevalence has shifted from the United States and Europe to China, India, and Brazil. Worldwide 8 million

Pregnant women should be advised of the significant perinatal risks associated with tobacco use, including orofacial clefts, fetal growth restriction, placenta previa, abruptio placentae, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, low birth weight, increased perinatal mortality, ectopic pregnancy, and
