Early-life Exposure to Tobacco Smoke and the Risk of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Population-based Cohort Study.
Ann Am Thorac Soc
January 2025
Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, China;
Rationale: Tobacco smoking is a well-established risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), yet the influence of early-life tobacco exposure on future IPF risk remains poorly understood.
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that early-life tobacco exposure may elevate the risk of developing IPF, with this effect potentially modified by genetic susceptibility to IPF and mediated through accelerated biological aging.
Methods: Using data from over 430,000 participants in the UK Biobank, we performed a prospective cohort study to examine the associations of maternal smoking around birth and age of smoking initiation with IPF risk.
[Clinical phenotype of abdominal obesity and dynapenia: Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil)].

Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, Brasil.
This study aims to examine the prevalence of abdominal obesity-dynapenia phenotype, identified by the presence of abdominal obesity and dynapenia, and understand its associated factors with a representative sample of the Brazilian population. Data were collected from the baseline of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brasil) 2015-2016. Abdominal obesity was determined by a waist-to-height ratio ≥ 0.

From the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, USA (Sutton, Lizcano, Krueger, Courtney, and Purtill), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, USA (Austin).
Introduction: Clinical outcome measures used under value-based reimbursement models require risk stratification of patient demographics and medical history. Only certain perioperative patient factors may be influenced by the surgeon. The study evaluated surgeon-influenced modifiable factors associated with achieving literature-defined KOOS score thresholds to serve as the foundation of the newly established alternative payment models for total knee arthroplasties (TKA).

Blanquerna School of Health Sciences, Global Research on Wellbeing (GRoW), Ramon Llull University, Barcelona, Spain.
Introduction: The one-minute sit to stand test (1min-STST) is a field test used to assess functional capacity. It is easily implementable and of significant clinical utility; however, no reference values are currently available for the Chilean population. The objective of this study was to establish reference values for the 1min-STST in a healthy Chilean population.

- Smoking is a significant public health issue in Tamil Nadu, causing preventable diseases and increasing healthcare costs, necessitating effective smoking cessation strategies in primary health care (PHC) settings.
- The study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of three proposed smoking cessation strategies against the current standard strategy, focusing on various combinations of counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and medications for smokers aged 15 and older.
- Results indicated that the current cessation strategy was more expensive than the proposed strategies, with two of them (PS1 and PS3) being more cost-effective, potentially leading to better resource allocation for smoking cessation efforts.
