“…It has been reported that COPD is the fourth most common cause of mortality in adults, responsible for ~2 million mortalities per year (22). Certain therapies used in COPD, such as oral and inhaled corticosteroids, have been demonstrated to increase the risk of osteoporosis, making elderly patients more prone to hip fracture (23).…”

Abstract. Hip fractures are one of the most common injuries in elderly individuals and are associated with a high incidence of complications and mortality. Clinical guidelines recommend early reparative surgery within 24-48 h from hospital admission; however, it is currently unknown whether this principle of early surgery is applicable for patients with hip fracture and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To investigate the systemic inflammatory response and lung injury as a result early surgery in elderly patients with hip fracture and COPD, a COPD model was created, by daily exposure to cigarette smoke, and evaluated. Rats (5 months of age) were exposed to cigarette smoking for 37 weeks to create a COPD group.

“…This probably explains why the association between usage of solid fuel and tuberculosis was not significant in this study population. If this is the case, this negative finding probably indicates that reducing indoor air pollution may be helpful in tuberculosis control [2]. Even though the association between use of solid fuel and tuberculosis is not consistent, there has been sufficient evidence of a harmful effect of combustion of solid fuels to take action.…”

“…ARIS and EZZATI [1] have presented the case for linking interventions to control tuberculosis, tobacco and biomass fuel smoke exposure as a means of improving the efficiency of health services [2]. While substantial evidence links tobacco smoke exposure with tuberculosis [3][4][5][6], evidence for the link with exposure to the smoke of solid fuel (coal and biomass) is more scarce [7][8][9].…”

The present study was conducted in Benin to ascertain the association between exposure to combustion of solid fuel (coal and biomass) and tuberculosis.Cases were consecutive, sputum smear-positive tuberculosis patients never previously treated for tuberculosis for as long as 1 month. Two controls were selected from the neighbourhood of each case, matched by age and sex by a predefined procedure.A total of 200 new smear-positive cases and 400 neighbourhood controls were enrolled. In univariate analysis, using solid fuel for cooking (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.8), ever smoking (OR 5.5, 95% CI 3.1-9.8), male sex (OR 10.5, 95% CI 1.6-71.1), daily use of alcoholic beverages (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2-4.2) and having a family member with tuberculosis in the previous 5 yrs (OR 30.5, 95% CI 10.8-85.8) were all significantly associated with tuberculosis cases. When all significant variables were entered into a multivariate conditional logistic regression model, the association between using solid fuel for cooking and tuberculosis cases was no longer statistically significant (adjusted OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.7-2.7).In conclusion, the association between exposure to combustion of solid fuel and tuberculosis was relatively weak and not statistically significant.

“…Smoking substantially exacerbates the risk of death in those with a history of TB infection. The mortality in patients who were smoking was reported by 61% in India and 32.8% in Hong Kong [21,28]. Of a study correlating the effects of vitamin on TB patients who smoke, it was obtained that vitamin E supplement caused temporary increase in the incidence of TB among heavy smokers with high dietary intake of vitamin E. Vitamin A and E do not increase the immune response in TB sufferers who smoke.…”
