Importance of Smoking in Pulmonary Involvement of Rheumatoid Arthritis

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.568

Synopsis:

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is a multi-systemic disease of unknown origin. The reason for the prominence of lungs involvement in some patients with the disease is not clearly defined. Since it was believed that smoking plays an important role in both etiology and progression of the disease, we evaluated the effects of smoking on disease activity, pulmonary functions and alveolar inflammation parameters in patients with RA.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of smoking on disease activity and pulmonary involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Cigarette Smoking Increases Pregnancy-associated Plasma Protein-A in Men

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 1: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.371

Pages:

150–3

Synopsis:

Elevation of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), is considered as an independent risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We found significantly high PAPP-A level in the serum of male smokers and this may indicate a higher risk for ACS among these men.

Status of Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Levels in Smokers with Breast Cancer from Western Nepal

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.078

Synopsis:

The blood glucose lowering potential of aqueous fruit extracts of the Jamaican plant species (Momordica charantia) was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats. The extract showed no hypoglycaemic or antidiabetic activity. However, there was improvement in glucose tolerance of glucose-primed normoglycaemic rats during oral glucose tolerance test.

Objectives: Research indicates that oxidative stress induced by smoking plays a crucial role in breast cancer. In view of these reports, we aimed to study this relationship between smoking and oxidative stress in breast cancer patients from western region of Nepal.
