Menée aux Etats-Unis à partir de données recueillies sur la période 2015-2018 auprès de 71 898 adolescents fumeurs, cette étude analyse l’association entre l'utilisation conjointe de la cigarette classique et de la cigarette électronique, la dépendance à la nicotine et l’intention d'arrêter de fumer, selon la fréquence d'utilisation

Adolescent Dual Use Classification and Its Association With Nicotine Dependence and Quit Intentions

Azagba, Sunday ; Shan, Lingpeng ; Latham, Keely

Purpose : Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarette) use is rapidly increasing in the U.S., especially among adolescents. A significant number of adolescents use both cigarettes and e-cigarettes, often referred to as dual use. We used a new classification of dual use, taking into account the frequency of use of both products. In addition, we examined the association between dual use with time to first cigarette after waking (a nicotine dependence measure) and quit intention. Methods : Data were drawn [...]

Menée en 2014-2015 aux Etats-Unis auprès de 163 920 fumeurs âgés d'au moins 18 ans, cette étude analyse l'utilisation des produits de tabac aromatisés et leur association à la dépendance

Flavored tobacco product use and its association with indicators of tobacco dependence among U.S. adults, 2014-2015

Odani, Satomi ; Armour, Brian ; Agaku, Israel T

Widely marketed flavored tobacco products might appeal to nonusers and could be contributing to recent increases in tobacco product use. We assessed flavored product use among current tobacco users; and measured associations between flavored product use and dependence among US adults.Data were from the 2014-2015 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey, a cross-sectional household-based survey of U.S. adults ≥18 years (n=163,920). Current users of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, [...]

Menée en 2017 aux Etats-Unis auprès de 3 009 adultes, cette étude analyse les facteurs associés à la sensibilisation concernant le lien entre consommation d'alcool et risque de cancer

Evaluating Correlates of Awareness of the Association between Drinking Too Much Alcohol and Cancer Risk in the United States

Wiseman, Kara P. ; Klein, William M.P.

Background : Awareness that alcohol consumption is associated with cancer is low in the United States, and predictors of awareness are not well understood. Methods : Data from the 2017 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 5 Cycle 1) were used to describe knowledge of the association between drinking too much alcohol and cancer (“Yes,” aware of the association; “No”; or “Don't know”) among 3,009 adults. Weighted multinomial multivariable logistic regression determined personal [...]

Menée chez le furet, cette étude analyse le rôle protecteur du lycopène dans la tumorigenèse pulmonaire

Lycopene Inhibits Smoke-Induced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Lung Carcinogenesis by Modulating Reverse Cholesterol Transport in Ferrets

Mustra Rakic, Jelena ; Liu, Chun ; Veeramachaneni, Sudipta ; Wu, Dayong ; Paul, Ligi ; Chen, C.-Y. Oliver ; Ausman, Lynne M. ; Wang, Xiang-Dong

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer share the same etiologic factor, cigarette smoking. Higher consumption of dietary lycopene has been associated with lower risks of COPD and lung cancer in smokers. We investigated whether lycopene feeding protects against COPD and lung cancer in ferrets, a nonrodent model that closely mimics cigarette smoke (CS)-induced chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and lung tumorigenesis in human. We also explored whether the protective effect of [...]

Menée au Canada auprès de 6 841 témoins et de 1 385 personnes atteintes d'une leucémie lymphoïde chronique, âgées d'au moins 40 ans au diagnostic entre 1999 et 2014, cette étude analyse l'association entre le risque de développer la maladie et l'utilisation de statines, par groupes chimiques ou pharmacodynamiques

Statin use and chronic lymphocytic leukemia incidence: A nested case-control study in Manitoba, Canada

Righolt, Christiaan H ; Zhang, Geng ; Ye, Xibiao ; Banerji, Versha ; Johnston, James B ; Gibson, Spencer B ; Mahmud, Salaheddin M

Background : Recent studies have reported reduced risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) among statin users. However, the possibility that the effect of statins may differ by their chemical or pharmacodynamic properties has not been investigated. Methods : In this nested case-control study, all Manitobans aged ≥ 40 years when diagnosed with CLL (as a first cancer) from 1999 to 2014 (n=1,385) were matched (on gender, age, residence, and duration of insurance coverage) to cancer-free controls [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis auprès de 77 professionnels de santé dans 25 établissements de soins, cette étude analyse l'effet d'une formation concernant le papillomavirus humain (HPV) sur la couverture vaccinale contre le HPV

Implementing Evidence-Based Strategies to Improve HPV Vaccine Delivery

Gilkey, Melissa B. ; Parks, Michael J. ; Margolis, Marjorie A. ; McRee, Annie-Laurie ; Terk, Jason V.

BACKGROUND : High-quality evidence indicates that intervening with health care providers improves human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine delivery. However, scaling up evidence-based strategies in real-world clinical practice remains challenging. We sought to improve the reach and impact of strategies for HPV vaccination quality improvement (QI) through local adaptation and implementation in a large, not-for-profit health care system. METHODS : We conducted an HPV vaccination QI program using [...]

Menée au Royaume-Uni par enquête réalisée en 2018 auprès de 643 professionnels de santé, cette étude analyse leurs connaissances générales sur le papillomavirus humain ainsi que sur le dépistage, le traitement et le vaccin

A survey of knowledge, attitudes and awareness of the human papillomavirus among healthcare professionals across the UK

Sherman, Susan M ; Cohen, Claire R ; Denison, Hayley J ; Bromhead, Collette ; Patel, Hersha

Background : Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection implicated in 5% of cancers worldwide including most cervical cancer cases. In the UK, the HPV vaccine has been offered routinely to girls aged 11–13 since 2008 while cervical screening is offered to women aged 25–64. HPV testing will soon replace cytology as the primary screening method. This research evaluates what healthcare professionals (HCPs) across the UK know about HPV. Methods : A total of 643 UK-based [...]
