Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, Cantonal Hospital Fribourg, University of Fribourg, Fribourg, Switzerland.
Objective: The detrimental effects of cigarette smoking on overall health are well-documented, with nicotine and carbon monoxide contributing to peripheral vasoconstriction and impaired oxygen delivery to tissues. This study reviews the impact of smoking on wound and bone healing, specifically in foot and ankle surgery, given its significant role as a modifiable risk factor for complications in orthopedic procedures.
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in May 2024 following PRISMA guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- Cigarette smoking is a major cause of death globally and has been shown to increase the infectivity of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a harmful bacteria that often affects the respiratory system.
- This study utilized cigarette smoke extract (CSE) to examine how it impacts the innate immune response, specifically in mouse macrophage models.
- Findings revealed that CSE exposure reduces the production of key immune signaling molecules and disrupts macrophage functions, ultimately weakening the body's defense against pneumococcal infections.
From smoke to stroke: quantifying the impact of smoking on stroke prevalence.
BMC Public Health
August 2024
Department of General Practice, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, 201508, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how smoking affects stroke rates and the relationship between smoking factors and stroke risk, considering demographic differences.
- It included 9,176 participants, analyzing various clinical and smoking-related characteristics, using statistical methods to assess the connections between smoking and strokes.
- Results indicated a 3.4% stroke prevalence, with significant links found between stroke risk and factors such as age, gender, and smoking levels, particularly showing that higher nicotine and carbon monoxide exposure increases the odds of having a stroke, especially beyond certain thresholds.
Smoking-induced suppression of β-casein in milk is associated with an increase in miR-210-5p expression in mammary epithelia.

Smoking during lactation harmfully affects the amount and constituents of breast milk. Infants who consume breast milk containing miR-210-5p may have a higher risk of brain-related diseases. We investigated whether smoking during lactation decreases β-casein concentrations in milk and whether miR-210-5p expression is involved in smoking-induced β-casein suppression.
