“…Deborah Sy 1 , Allan Villanueva 2 , Irene Patricia Reyes 3 1 Global Center for Good Governance in Tobacco Control, Thailand, 2 CommonHealth, Philippines, 3 House of Representatives, Philippines Introduction Tobacco companies are employing the same tactics they have used for years to market tobacco "harm reduction", like heated tobacco products (HTPs) and e-cigarettes/ electronic nicotine delivery devices. Despite their harm reduction claim and attempt to repackage their image as partners in tobacco control (TC), they are duplicitous, opposing effective TC measures and capitalizing on the poor regulatory environments of LMICs.…”

“…The antismoking activities are public health priorities in many countries [1]. Education and prevention of tobacco use require a joint effort and support from the families, educational institutions, healthcare system, media and government [3][4][5]. Correct information about the harmful effects of the chemical substances contained in tobacco smoke is crucial for the prevention and cessation acceleration.…”

To assess the knowledge about harm of smoking among medicine students; exploring the tobacco prevalence in students; training the future trainers in antismoking activity. Questionnaire study in 260 medicinestudents (80 males, 180 females from general-medicine and college) before and after antismoking training.Smoking is intensively spread among students (active smokers 33.84%, ex-smokers 15.38%). Smoking was much higher among males compared to women (51.25% vs. 26.1%). 68.1% were moderate-consumers (10 cigarettes/day) and 31.8% heavy-smokers (≥20 cigarettes/day). 56% of smokers began smoking between 13-18 year-old and 25% before 16. 65.9% had at least 1 parent-smoker in their family, 45.4% had a partner/close friend who smoked. 89.2% from the entire group were eager to improve their skills for a future antismoking activity. We found 42.6% alcohol users. Initially medicine-students' knowledge concerning the side effects of smoking was insufficient (20% correct answers). We repeated the test after 2 h course and 1-week stage in Pulmonology Clinic. After training, the amount of knowledge in the field increased impressively (88.4% correct answers). We used modern study techniques: case based and team based learning. 31.8% of trained students stopped smoking after our course.The medicine students represent a crucial segment in the fight against smoking. Information acquired at the pulmonology stages/courses had a huge contribution in smoking cessation and their antismoking activity. Training the future health promoters is a priority and may be an issue for a smoke-free behavior in general population.

“…Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease expressed by chronic obstructive pneumopathy [15], pancreatic insufficiency with chronic diarrhoea and several secondar y complications [16] like liver disease [17] with complicated cirrhosis [18], osteoporosis or diabetes [19]. Because of the pancreatic exocrine deficiency, reduced capacity for vitamin D storing in adipose tissue, a deficiency in liposolubles vitamins occur [20], with complications like osteoporosis, osteopenia [21], frequently infections and modified biochemistry influenced by multiple factors like environment or smoking [22]. Absorption of lipids is diminished by the maldigestion of lipids and protein because of the pancreatic insufficiency, therefore reduced levels of lipid-dependent nutrients are associated and protein, glucides metabolism impairment.…”

Study aimed to assess the level of 25-OH-cholecalciferol(vitamin D) and the relation with cholesterol, proteins and glycaemia levels in patients with cystic fibrosis. 58 patients underwent for the annual evaluations and were tested for vitamin D deficiency, as the centre�s protocol requires, besides dosage of cholesterol, glycaemia and proteins levels. Serum levels of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol were compared to levels of cholesterol, proteins and glycaemia, using Pearson correlation and logistic regression. The average value of 25-OH-cholecalciferol was 22,9 ng/mL, suggesting an important deficiency and different stages of 25-OH-cholecalciferol deficiency was found in the majority of patients. Nor a positive correlation neither negative relationship was found between vitamin D and cholesterol (r=0,23), glycaemia or proteins level. Vitamin D levels are not related to cholesterol or proteins in our study. Although cystic fibrosis is characterised by liposoluble vitamins deficiency and lipids impaired digestion, other factors influence the seric levels of vitamin D and lipids.
