Introduction: Iqos and other heat-not-burn products according to tobacco companies are a safer alternative cigarettes. The aim of this article is objectively review the potential impact iQOS® on human health by searching for integrating published research findings. This provides comprehensive analysis scientific conducted effects use health, distinguishing between specific medical fields. Materials methods: study based articles collected from PubMed database spanning years 2016-2023. was through keywords such as "Iqos", "Heat not burn", "Iqos impact". Results: Tobacco heaters seen potentially less harmful. However, emerging their harmfulness clearly shows that despite reduced concentrations compounds hazardous aerosol produced still contains same harmful substances. Further studies show toxic at similar level smoke traditional cigarettes.

Heated tobacco products represent a novel category of in which consumable is heated to temperature that releases nicotine from the leaf but not sufficient cause combustion. may therefore have potential be less harmful alternative for adult smokers who would otherwise continue smoke cigarettes, as their use should result exposure substantially fewer and lower levels toxicants. This update represents two-year extension our previous narrative review, covered peer-reviewed journal articles published up August 31, 2021. The scientific evidence between 2021 2023 continues indicate aerosols produced contain potentially constituents these observed reductions consistently translate reduced biological effects both vitro vivo toxicological studies. Biomarker clinical data studies product controlled within setting suggest changes biomarkers exposure, harm, endpoints indicating harm with switching exclusive smokers. Overall, available offer promise such, conclusions original review remain valid.

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) represents one of the major causes hospitalization in cardiology departments, while tobacco smoking remains a significant public health challenge Europe. Therefore, there is pressing need to study this phenomenon order undertake preventive actions and thereby reduce number people and, consequently reducing rate morbidity disease. This aims assess factors that increase stress examine strategies for coping with stress, nicotine addiction, motivation quit among patients after myocardial infarction. Methods: We analyzed 100 post-MI using sociodemographic questionnaire, Schneider Smoking Cessation Motivation Test, Fagerstrom Test Nicotine Dependence, Mini-COPE questionnaire. Results: A sense helplessness emerged as primary trigger (p = 0.012), job loss, workplace issues, illness, family death, relationship problems < 0.001) key stressors. Post-MI showed high degree cessation motivation, was enhanced by limited cigarette access social support. Patients primarily used self-distraction behavioral disengagement mechanisms. higher tolerance (rho −0.355; p 0.00) increased frequency −0.169; 0.093) correlated negatively motivation. Conclusions: demonstrate stress-related helplessness, particularly within professional, family, domains. The prevalence mechanisms centred around avoidance suggests targeted psychological interventions population.

Tobacco use is the leading risk factor for diseases with highest incidence and mortality rates. control policies addressing main determinants of tobacco consumption, alongside traditional smoking cessation methods, have generally shown poor results, relatively low rates worldwide. For these reasons, it crucial to adopt innovative strategies while implementing changes in reduce prevalence. The emergence new nicotine delivery devices, which are less harmful than conventional tobacco, could potentially improve population-level impact use. New such as electronic cigarettes, heated products, pouches, offer alternatives. A common feature among devices that none produce toxic components amounts comparable those found combustible smoke. Although regulatory safety aspects still under debate by authorities worldwide, they demonstrated effectiveness cessation. Their role reducing harms increasingly recognized policies. Integrating into existing programs using standardized interventions may help address some challenges explore combinations prove more effective current treatments.

The American Heart Association (AHA) proposed the concept of cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) syndrome, underscoring interconnectedness cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases. stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) represents an innovative indicator that quantifies blood glucose fluctuations in patients experiencing acute or subacute stress, correlating with detrimental clinical effects. Nevertheless, prognostic significance SHR within individuals diagnosed CKM syndrome stages 0 to 3, particularly respect all-cause cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risks, has not been fully understood yet. current study analyzed data from 9647 participants covering based on NHANES (National Health Nutrition Examination Survey) collected 2007 2018. In this study, primary exposure variable was SHR, computed as fasting plasma divided by (1.59 * HbA1c − 2.59). main endpoints were well CVD mortality, death registration sourced through December 31, 2019. CHARLS database (China Retirement Longitudinal Study) utilized validation enhance reliability findings. This included participants, who followed for a median duration 6.80 years. During period, 630 cases 135 CVD-related deaths total recorded. After full adjustment covariates, our results displayed robust positive association (Hazard [HR] = 1.09, 95% Confidence interval [CI] 1.04–1.13). However, exhibited no significant relationship (HR 1.00, CI 0.91–1.11). mediation analysis suggested between risk is partially mediated RDW, albumin, RAR. Specifically, mediating effects 17.0% (95% 46.7%, 8.7%), 10.1% 23.9%, 4.7%), 23.3% 49.0%, 13.0%), respectively. Additionally, analyses indicated correlation among across 0–3 during follow-up period 2011 2020.

A 56-year-old man presented with right-sided drooping of the mouth corner and eyelid, along weakness in left lower limb. His MRI revealed a corona radiata lacunar infarction on an acute right. However, needle electromyography (EMG) results were unremarkable. It was determined that his unilateral peripheral facial paralysis (PFP)-like symptoms secondary to bilateral infarctions. This case highlights some patients cerebral strokes may present PFP-like symptoms. To minimize misdiagnosis, clinicians should consider possibility central lesions manifesting as PFP.
