“…Tobacco-induced oxidative stress contributes to several health effects that including pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases and cancer due to the degenerative processes in the exposed organs (Badran & Laher, 2020;Haddad et al, 2016). Accordingly, smoking including Wp, is expected to have long-term effects on the adolescents' future health (Alomari, Al-Sheyab, Khabour, & Alzoubi, 2018a;Ramji et al, 2018).…”

Tobacco use is one of the most potent, prevalent (˃1.1 billion users), and addictive social habit that has dominated humanity behavior across the globe for centuries (Pratiti & Mukherjee, 2019; World Health Organization, 2020). Its effect is systematic, results in smoking-related diseases, and remains the second cause of death with 9 million annual deaths (Pratiti & Mukherjee, 2019). Waterpipe (Wp) smoking is a tobacco consumption style that involves burning moasel/tobacco on a charcoal. The smoke from the burning tobacco is inhaled immediately with the smoker's mouth after passing through a bowl of water (Pratiti & Mukherjee, 2019). It is a social behavior proliferating throughout the globe. It's prevalence is increasing in

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is associated with imbalance in body trace elements. The aim of the current investigation was to compare the levels of trace elements (Zn, Mg, Mn, Cu, Na, K, Fe, Ca, Cr, and Se) in insulin dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent (NIDDM) diabetes.MethodsA total of 100 patients with diabetes (40 IDDM and 60 NIDDM) and 50 healthy subjects were recruited in the study from both genders. Biochemical measures include glucose, lipids, and HbA1C.ResultsThe results showed that Zn, Mg, Cu and Cr were significant lower in patients with diabetes compared to the control group (P<0.01). In addition, Zn and Cr were significantly lower in IDDM than NIDDM (P<0.05). Moreover, Zn and Mg levels were inversely correlated with HbA1c in IDDM and NIDDM (P<0.05). Zn was inversely correlated with fasting blood glucose in IDDM (P<0.05). Finally, no correlation between trace element levels with BMI was found (P>0.05).ConclusionDisturbance in trace element profile among IDDM and NIDDM is similar.

INTRODUCTION Waterpipe tobacco smoking (WS) is a popular form of tobacco use, globally. While the impact of genetic variations on smoking behavior has been well-investigated, few studies have examined this issue with regard to WS. In the current study, associations between choline acetyltransferase gene (ChAT) rs1917810 and rs7094248 polymorphisms and WS dependence were examined. METHODS Genotyping of rs1917810 and rs7094248 in 266 Jordanian waterpipe smokers was performed using RFLP-PCR. Dependence on WS was measured using the LWDS-10J scale. RESULTS The frequency of rs1917810 G allele was 38.5% and that of the rs7094248 G allele was 40.8%. The rs1917810 was significantly associated with the WS dependence level (p<0.05). Carriers of the AA genotype of rs1917810 were more dependent on WS than those with GG genotype (p<0.05). However, no association between rs7094248 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and dependence on WS was observed (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The rs1917810 in the ChAT gene might be associated with dependence on WS.

Brain‐derived neutrophic factor in adolescents smoking waterpipe: The Irbid TRY

Abstract: BDNF was diminished in adolescent Wp smokers, which might predispose adolescents for systematic adverse health and behavioral alterations. These results extend the negative health risks associated with cigarette smoking to that of water-pipe tobacco smoking.
