Background: Promoting the cessation of smoking in mental healthcare is a priority of international health organizations as it is the most cost-effective intervention in psychiatry.
Aim: To explore the representations of psychiatrists on their role in active smoking cessation prevention in severe psychiatric disorders.
Methods: Psychiatrists and residents in psychiatry were recruited at a national level by professional mailings.
Background: A family history increases the risk of kidney stone passage independent of dietary risk factors. However, the metabolic basis for familial aggregation of urolithiasis is unknown.
Methods: We evaluated metabolic risk factors in families with at least two sibs with a history of calcium stones.
Background: Calcium urolithiasis is in part genetically determined and associated with idiopathic hypercalciuria.
Methods: We have used a candidate gene approach to determine whether the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) gene is linked to idiopathic hypercalciuria and calcium urolithiasis in a cohort of French Canadian sibships with multiple affected members (64 sibships from 55 pedigrees yielding 359 affected sibling pairs with > or =1 stone episode).
Results: Using nonparametric linkage analysis with various intragenic and flanking markers, we showed that the CaR gene could be excluded as a major gene for hypercalciuric stone formation.
Calcium is the principal crystalline constituent in up to 80% of kidney stones. Epidemiologic studies have suggested that genetic predisposition plays a major role in the etiology of this condition. This study evaluates by a candidate-gene approach whether the vitamin D receptor (VDR) locus on chromosome 12q12-14 is implicated in idiopathic hypercalciuria and calcium nephrolithiasis in a cohort of 47 French Canadian pedigrees.
