bronchiolitis/nicotine

BACKGROUND Tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) is a worldwide health problem and it is considered a risk factor for pregnant women's and children's health, particularly for respiratory morbidity during the first year of life. Few significant birth cohort studies on the effect of prenatal TSE via passive

OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of pre- and postnatal tobacco exposure in the development of bronchiolitis. METHODS A questionnaire was given to the parents of children hospitalized between August 2001 and August 2002. It included items on parental smoking habits and maternal smoking during

Studies in nonhuman primates indicate that one pathophysiologic consequence of ozone exposure is chronic bronchiolitis in terminal bronchioles. Modeling dosimetry suggests that a similar phenomenon is possible in humans. These findings may constitute an important analogy to the respiratory

Introduction: Environmental exposure to tobacco increases the risk of respiratory disease in infants. However, the impact of maternal smoking on the development of acute bronchiolitis has hardly been assessed. The aim of this study was to

Among children hospitalized with bronchiolitis, we examined the associations between in utero exposure to maternal cigarette smoking, postnatal tobacco smoke exposure, and risk of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). We performed a 16-center, prospective cohort study of hospitalized children

As a modern phenomenon, there is currently limited understanding of the possible toxic effects and broader implications of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Large volumes of aerosolized particles are inhaled during "vaping" and there are now an increasing number of case reports

OBJECTIVE To examine demographic, environmental and clinical factors associated with severe bronchiolitis in infants admitted to hospital and quantify the independent effects of these factors. METHODS Prospective cohort study. METHODS Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool, United

OBJECTIVE We sought to implement systematic tobacco dependence interventions for parents and/or caregivers as secondary aims within 2 multisite quality improvement (QI) collaboratives for bronchiolitis. We hypothesized that iterative improvements in tobacco dependence intervention strategies would

UNASSIGNED Prior evidence shows that environmental tobacco smoke is a risk factor for respiratory tract infections, wheeze, and asthma. Nicotine replacement therapy has been shown to increase smoking cessation. However, no prior studies have explored if parental use decreases the risk of

Maternal prenatal smoking has adverse effects on the growing fetus including those of respiratory nature. Although postnatal smoke exposure is a risk factor for respiratory infections, the effects of prenatal smoking independent of postnatal smoke exposure are less established. We hypothesized that

The aim of this paper was to find out whether fetal exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), as compared to postnatal ETS exposure, is an independent risk factor for respiratory symptoms and diseases in younger schoolchildren. The cross-sectional epidemiological study comprised population of

Cigarette smoking has been associated with several diffuse lung diseases in which both bronchiolar and interstitial lung inflammation appear to result from chronic tobacco smoke inhalation. These diseases occur primarily in relatively young adult smokers and include desquamative interstitial

OBJECTIVE To determine the economic influence of pediatric disease attributable to parental smoking. METHODS Computerized bibliographic databases were searched. Subject headings included asthma, burn, cost, low birth weight, otitis media, respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis, sudden infant

During the last 25 years, several hundred papers have been published on the respiratory health effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Various independent assessments have concluded that ETS causes lung cancer in adult nonsmokers and increases the risk of various noncancer effects, principally

Exposing children to secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) is associated with increased risk for asthma, bronchiolitis and SIDS. The role for changes in the developing CNS contributing to these problems has not been fully explored. We used rhesus macaques to test the hypothesis that SHS exposure during
