Tobacco smoking is a common risk factor of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and heart health problems. In Taif, the number of secondary polycythemia patients is increasing dramatically and most of those patients are heavy smokers. Therefore, this study is an attempt to understand the

[Tobacco and leukocytosis].

Only registered users can translate articles

Six heavy smokers with leucocytosis are described. Except for leucocytosis, laboratory tests were normal. A strong tobacco-induced leucocyte response indicates an increased risk of developing arterial diseases and lung diseases.

Tobacco smoking and acute exercise on immune-inflammatory responses among relative short and longer smoking histories.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study examined the acute effects of combined tobacco smoking and exercise on immune-inflammatory responses in smoker populations with shorter or longer smoking history. The cohort comprised 14 young male adult (YSM) and 12 middle-aged (MSM) male active cigarette smokers matched for aerobic

In 2019, the United States experienced an outbreak of e-cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) (1). Most EVALI patients have reported using tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing e-cigarette, or vaping, products obtained from informal sources (2,3), and vitamin E acetate in

Nicotine induces human neutrophils to produce IL-8 through the generation of peroxynitrite and subsequent activation of NF-kappaB.

Only registered users can translate articles

Leukocytosis in tobacco smokers has been well recognized; however, the exact cause has not been elucidated. To test the hypothesis that tobacco nicotine stimulates neutrophils in the respiratory tract to produce IL-8, which causes neutrophilia in vivo, we examined whether nicotine induces

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome (DRESS) syndrome associated with azithromycin presenting like septic shock: a case report.

BACKGROUND Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome is a potentially life-threatening cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction characterized by extensive mucocutaneous eruption, fever, hematologic abnormalities including eosinophilia and/or atypical lymphocytosis, and extensive

Prognostic impact of pretherapeutic laboratory values in head and neck cancer patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The high comorbidity in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) is mainly caused by the high incidence of tobacco and alcohol abuse and has direct impact on overall survival. We investigated whether HNC and its comorbidity also influence routine laboratory values and whether these values

Clinical characteristics associated with days to discharge among patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of lower limb cellulitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Clinicians have limited ability to classify risk of prolonged hospitalization among patients with lower limb cellulitis. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify characteristics associated with days to discharge and prolonged stay. METHODS We conducted retrospective cohort analysis including

White cells count in smokers affected by rheumatic diseases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Evidence shows that tobacco smoking interacts with development of rheumatic diseases. Increase in white cells count (leukocytosis) is frequently present, and in smokers, it is considered a biomarker of cardiovascular risk. Aim of the study is to evaluate this biomarker in smokers with rheumatic

Reactive oxygen species formation in peripheral blood neutrophils in different types of smokers.

Only registered users can translate articles

The present study was envisaged to assess the state of oxidative metabolism of neutrophils, recovered from smokers (cigarette, beedi, hookah and mixed products) and non-smokers. Superoxide anion (O2.-) production was significantly higher in neutrophils from all groups of smokers (P < 0.001). Total
