Cutting tobacco’s death toll − an overview of different options
Oral presentation by Lars Ramström at the 5th Annual Conference of ISPTID, Hong Kong, 24th – 26th November 2006
No-smoke Diwali
Smoking causes four out of five cases of lung malignancy, and it has one of the least endurance paces everything being equal.
Smoking likewise expands the danger of getting up to 13 different kinds of disease.
smoking & its ill effects
Smoking affects nearly every organ in the body and can cause various health issues. Cigarettes contain over 7,000 chemicals including 70 that cause cancer. Smoking damages the lungs and increases risk of lung cancer, COPD, infections, and respiratory issues. It also harms the cardiovascular system by restricting blood flow and raising blood pressure and cholesterol, increasing risk of heart disease and stroke. Smoking causes premature aging of the skin and stains fingers, teeth, and hair yellow. It increases risks of various cancers, diabetes, reproductive issues, pregnancy complications, and premature death. No type of smoked or smokeless tobacco is safe.
Effect of smoking and its wayout
This document summarizes the effects of smoking cigarettes. It discusses the history of cigarettes and their contents, including over 4,000 chemicals and 60 carcinogens. Some key effects mentioned include lung cancer, COPD, premature aging, low sperm count, and heart disease. Smoking also increases risks for low birth weight, premature birth, and learning disabilities if a woman smokes during pregnancy. The document encourages quitting smoking to avoid its harmful health effects.
Anti-Tobacco Project
Tobacco use through cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and pipes exposes users and those around them to dangerous chemicals that can cause cancer, heart disease, and other serious health issues. Tobacco kills over 5 million people worldwide each year and that number is projected to rise to over 8 million annually by 2030. While nicotine is highly addictive, quitting smoking through nicotine replacements, social support, and lifestyle changes can help people stop using tobacco and improve their health.
Tobacco Underground
Tobacco Underground is an introduction to the tobacco industry in all it's forms.
From targeting young people, to animal cruelty, and all the lies in between this is a comprehensive multi-media presentation. It's got videos, tons of great photos and stats, and everything you need to start your career as an anti-tobacco activist. We are extremely excited about this presentation and hope you can use to educate the masses.

Dangers of Smoking
Indonesia has the highest percentage of male smokers over age 15 in the world at 66%. Cigarettes contain over 4000 chemicals, with at least 200 being harmful to human health, including tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide. Teenagers are more likely to smoke if they have parents or friends who smoke, or if they are exposed to advertisements depicting smoking as glamorous. The dangers of smoking include negative health impacts from its toxic chemicals, economic costs of supporting an addiction, and negative social impacts of secondhand smoke.

The document discusses tobacco harm reduction through the use of low-toxicity smokeless tobacco products like Swedish snus. It summarizes evidence from Swedish population studies that finds little risk of snus leading to smoking, strengthening nicotine addiction, or weakening smokers' efforts to quit. The evidence suggests that snus use can substantially reduce tobacco-related disease risk and that some smokers who switch to snus do subsequently quit nicotine altogether. There is little scientific evidence to support arguments against tobacco harm reduction and good evidence to reject such arguments.

Visualising possible scenarios with ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems)
1) The document discusses potential scenarios for the population-level effects of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) such as e-cigarettes. It outlines both a best case scenario where ENDS help many smokers quit and a worst case scenario where ENDS increase smoking rates and normalize smoking behaviors.
2) The evidence to date suggests health risks from long-term nicotine exposure through ENDS use, as well as risks from other chemicals in e-liquids. Studies also show low real-world cessation rates for ENDS compared to other methods.
3) There are concerns about rapid uptake of ENDS use among youth and nonsmokers, as well as the tobacco industry's involvement in the ENDS

E-Cigarettes a Disruptive Public Health Phenomenon - Professor Antoine Flahault
E-cigarettes are a disruptive public health phenomenon that requires consideration of ethics, risks, and the precautionary principle. The precautionary principle calls for caution in the face of uncertainty and cost-effective measures to prevent harm, even without full scientific certainty. While e-cigarettes' risks are uncertain, cigarettes definitively cause death and disease. Lack of certainty on e-cigarettes should not prevent recommending them as part of tobacco control until long-term effects are known, as they may dramatically reduce risks compared to cigarettes.

Known vs unknown risks of cigarette smoking, snus, e-cigarettes. Ethics and the precautionary principle applied.The role of harm reduction in tobacco control
The document discusses the role of harm reduction in tobacco control. It argues that for current tobacco users who cannot quit, switching to a nicotine product that is markedly less harmful than cigarettes, such as nicotine replacement therapy or low-nitrosamine smokeless tobacco, can significantly reduce health risks compared to continuing smoking. While prevention and smoking cessation efforts are important, harm reduction strategies are also needed to help smokers unable or unwilling to quit nicotine use altogether. Regulating alternative nicotine products to ensure they are much safer than cigarettes can achieve public health benefits as part of a comprehensive approach to tobacco control.
Smoking kills
This document discusses the harms of smoking and hookah. It begins by introducing smoking and noting that nearly 4,400 kids start smoking daily. It then discusses what smoking is, why people smoke, the effects of nicotine and toxins in cigarettes on the body. The document also discusses myths about hookah and its risks. It notes smoking harms the heart, lungs and brain and causes cancers and diseases. The document concludes by providing tips on quitting smoking and discussing Islam's prohibition of smoking.

This document analyzes youth perceptions of cigarette use in Switzerland. It conducted a survey of Swiss youth to determine reasons for starting smoking. Currently, 19% of Swiss adults smoke daily, including 35% of boys and 30% of girls aged 13-15. The survey results may help develop an intervention program to prevent youth smoking and reduce smoking rates in Switzerland over time. The health risks of smoking are significant, so preventing youth uptake of cigarettes is preferable to getting existing smokers to quit.
Tobacco day
World No Tobacco Day is observed annually on May 31st to encourage tobacco users to refrain from use for 24 hours and draw attention to the health effects of tobacco. Tobacco is the leading global cause of preventable death, killing over 5 million people per year. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term health benefits like reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Methods to quit include counseling, nicotine replacements, exercise, mobile apps, and herbal alternatives. The health risks of tobacco extend beyond smokers to effects on fetuses and second-hand smoke.

Tobacco is a plant that is consumed in various forms worldwide, with dried leaves mainly smoked in cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and shisha. Tobacco use causes over 5 million deaths annually and is the leading preventable cause of death. Smokeless tobacco products like chewing tobacco and dipping tobacco are also harmful, increasing risks of cancer, heart disease, addiction, and oral health issues. Education about tobacco's dangers and quitting techniques can help reduce tobacco consumption.

This document summarizes a presentation on the effects of alternative nicotine delivery systems like e-cigarettes on cigarette consumption and smoking prevalence. It discusses data showing declines in smoking rates in countries where vaping products are widely available and accepted like the US, UK, and Sweden. Studies suggest vaping helps increase smoking cessation rates at a population level. The rise of Juul products in the US may have accelerated declines in youth smoking rates there in recent years. Countries in Asia have also seen significant drops in cigarette sales as heat-not-burn tobacco and vaping products gain popularity. However, public health attitudes can influence how quickly reduced risk alternatives are adopted.
Innovation for Consumers: E-cigarettes and novel tobacco products - Part of t...
This document discusses e-cigarettes and novel tobacco products. It argues that they are substantially less harmful than combustible cigarettes and have the potential to significantly reduce smoking rates and associated deaths. However, regulations should balance this potential benefit with preventing unintended consequences like perpetuating smoking or increasing youth uptake. The document proposes risk-proportionate regulations and taxes to incentivize switching from cigarettes, along with standards, marketing restrictions, and age limits, while ensuring products remain appealing to smokers trying to quit. The goal is harm reduction for populations according to the WHO framework convention on tobacco control.
Smoking
Smoking poses serious health risks to both smokers and non-smokers. Millions die from smoking-related illnesses each year, yet smoking rates remain high globally. Governments need to implement strict regulations like banning smoking in public places, raising taxes on cigarettes, limiting who can purchase them, and requiring health warnings on packages to discourage smoking and protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke. Individuals should also encourage friends and family to quit smoking and raise awareness about its dangers to promote a smoke-free environment and healthier lifestyle for all.
Harmful Health Effects of Tobacco consumption
Health complications of various forms of tobacco such as Chewing tobacco, Snuff, Creamy snuff, Dipping tobacco, Gutka, Snus, Cigarette, Cigar, Bidi, Kretek and Hookah are discussed in this presentation.
Perception of health status among different groups of tobacco users in Sweden
This document summarizes a study comparing self-reported health perceptions among different groups of tobacco users in Sweden. The study found that:
1) Current daily smokers reported poorer satisfaction with their health, life, and higher numbers of sick days than other groups.
2) Daily snus users, both with and without a history of smoking, reported health perceptions similar to non-users and better than current smokers.
3) Former smokers who now use snus daily reported better mental health and life satisfaction than current smokers.
The results suggest that smoking impairs perceived health while switching from smoking to snus may improve it.

Snus as a Substitution for Smoking: The Swedish Experience
The document summarizes a study on tobacco use in Sweden. It finds that among males, use of snus (a form of smokeless tobacco) is more common than smoking, but less common among females. Snus seems to reduce smoking initiation and increase smoking cessation rates. The study shows snus is an effective smoking cessation aid commonly used by males in Sweden.
Public Health Effects of Tobacco Dependence
The document discusses statistics on tobacco-related deaths from various WHO regions in 1998. It then discusses the percentage of total deaths attributable to tobacco use in different regions in 1990 and projections for 2020. The document also discusses why people smoke and maintain smoking habits, signs of nicotine addiction, classification of tobacco use disorders, and different intervention strategies to reduce tobacco-related harm including decreasing uptake, increasing cessation, and exploring potentially less harmful tobacco products.

Information provided on tobacco packages should clarify that:
1. A smoker's nicotine intake from cigarettes varies widely based on how they smoke and depends on their personal nicotine needs, not machine-measured yields.
2. Intake of other harmful substances depends on the brand-specific ratio of each substance to nicotine.
3. Health risk information should make clear that nicotine itself poses little risk, while combustion products in smoked tobacco are highly dangerous, and nicotine replacement therapies and smokeless tobacco are much less risky than smoking.

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, prompting the need for innovative treatment methods. Nanotechnology offers promising new approaches, including the use of gold nanoparticles (nanogold) for targeted cancer therapy. Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Unit 4: MRA 103T Regulatory affairs
This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).

What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
