[TABAC] tabagisme:risque:facteur associé:chirurgieIndex. décimale : TA 6.2.3.1 Substitution nicotinique Résumé : Objectives: Cigarette smoking induces cardiovascular pathology and worsens arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness can be assessed noninvasively based on 2 indices: pulse-wave velocity (PWV), indicating aortic stiffness, and the augmentation index (AIx), indicating aortic wave reflection. The impact of smoking cessation (SC) with nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) on arterial stiffness remains unknown.
Methods: AIx and PWV were studied prospectively (using a SphygmoCor system) in 26 long-term smokers (>10 cigarettes/day; mean age 43 ± 6 years) before (visit 1) and 28 and 56 days (visit 2 and visit 3) after SC supported by NRT. Abstinence was ascertained when exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) was <10 ppm; the quantity of NRT absorbed was assessed based on the serum cotinine level.
Results: Sixteen of 24 patients (67%) were abstinent at the end of the study; 8/24 had cut down on smoking, and 2 were lost to follow-up. CO and serum cotinine levels fell after SC. The mean AIx for the population as a whole was 23.4% at visit 1, with a significant early reduction by visit 2 (16.2%) and visit 3 (13.9%) (ANOVA, p < 0.001). The PWV, peripheral blood pressure, and heart rate were unchanged.
Conclusions: The improvement in AIx and the stability of PWV after SC with NRT indicate improved peripheral vascular tone. This impact may account for the early clinical benefit of SC observed even when associated with NRT.

[TUBER] type de tuberculose:tuberculose-maladieIndex. décimale : TU 1.2. Historique Résumé : Tuberculosis (TB) remains the largest cause of adulte deaths from any single infectious disease, and ranks among the top 10 causes of death worldwide. When TB and war occur simultaneously, the inevitable conséquences are disease, humain misery, suffering, and heightened mortality. TB is, therefore, one of the most frequent and deadly diseases to complicate the special circumstances of warfare.
Written by internationally acclaimed experts, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the status of TB before, during and after WWII in the 25 belligerent countries that were chiefly involved. It summarizes the history of TB up to the present day. A special chapter on "Nazi Medecine, Tuberculosis and Genocide" examines the horrendous, inhumain Nazy ideology, which during WWII used TB as a justification for murder, and targeted the disease by eradication millions who were afflicted by it. The final chapter summarizes the lessons learnerd from WWII and more recent wars and recommends anti-TB measures for future conflicts.
This publication is not only of interest to TB specialists and pulmonologists but also to those interested in public health, infectious diseases, war-related issues and the history of medecine.

[TUBER] type de tuberculose:tuberculose-maladieIndex. décimale : TU 1.2. Historique Résumé : World War II (WWII) began on September 1, 1939, when the Nazi German army invaded Poland and progressed relentlessly towards Warsaw. After silence from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and several members of the British Empire declared war on September 3, 1939. Belgium's involvement in WWII began on May 10, 1940, when the Nazi army invaded Belgium on its way to France and Belgium was occupied by the Germans from May 28, 1940 until liberation by the allies. In 1850, the TB mortality rate was 376.7/100,000 and fell to 155.2/100,000 in 1900. As in most of Europe, TB mortality increased strikingly in WWI though less in WWII. But in 1941, TB mortality rose sharply to 98.3/100,000, remained high in 1942 to 95.3/100,000 and then fell progressively to 77.8/100,000in 1945. Only in 1946 did the rate fall below that at the beginning of the war. The destruction and requisition of TB facilities worsened the plight of the rising number of active TB patients. The socioeconomic situation was desperate: 13% of men were prisoners of war; calories were restricted, malnutrition was prevalent. Nevertheless, TB treatement and prevention efforts, though compromised, were ongoing.
