Filter by:To determine the rate and amount of nicotine uptake with 10-minute ad libitum use of four different marketed electronic cigarettes. Furthermore, to measure overall product liking by subjects to assess potential willingness to seek out the Electronic Cigarette (EC) again in the future.
The purpose of this study is to develop and then test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effect of a bidirectional text message smoking cessation intervention among Vietnamese smokers in Hanoi, Vietnam. The specific aim are: 1) To develop a smoking cessation text message library among Vietnamese smokers; 2) To evaluate message preferences, and the feasibility and acceptability of the bidirectional text message smoking cessation intervention; and 3) To assess the preliminary effect of a bidirectional mobile phone text message intervention on biochemically validated smoking abstinence.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted in cardiology department and smoking cessation center of University Hospital of Monastir (Tunisia). All smokers Hospitalized for ACS were included. Participants were randomly assigned to either group "A", initiating Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in intra-hospitalization or a control group "B" that received NRT after hospital discharge. The end point assessment was smoking abstinence at 24 weeks following randomization, defined as self-reported abstinence in the past week before the 24 week clinic visit confirmed by a measured exhaled carbon monoxide ≤8 ppm. Data were analyzed by intention to treat.
Patients attending the smoking cessation programme at the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital under the SoLoMo clinical trial of the SmokeFreeBrain project and provided with the SoLoMo mobile app will be observed for one year. This mobile app which sends the patients tailored health motivational messages selected by a health recommender system, and based on their user profile retrieved from an electronic health record. Patients' messages feedback and interactions with the app will be analyzed and evaluated following an observational prospective methodology to see whether patients like the messages, and measure the patient engagement with the health recommender system.
Using a 2x2 randomized factorial design, we will conduct a statewide field trial in Missouri to compare the relative and combined effects of these two strategies for augmenting an existing, evidence-based tobacco quitline program. Among 2000 low-income smokers, half will receive standard Missouri quitline services and half will receive new Specialized Quitline services targeted to this group. In each of these groups, half also will receive calls from a trained navigator to help them address unmet Basic Needs and the accompanying psychological distress that act as barriers to smoking cessation.
The aim of the Cork and Kerry Study Phase II (Mitchelstown cohort recruited 2010-11) is to provide an updated profile of glucose tolerance status, cardiovascular health and their related factors in an Irish adult general population sample and to compare the findings with those obtained during baseline assessment of Phase I of the Cork and Kerry study (1998) and the rescreen (2008).
Project 2 will evaluate the impact of very low nicotine content cigarettes, e-cigarette nicotine content, and e-cigarette flavoring on cigarettes smoked per day, nicotine exposure, puff topography, discomfort/dysfunction, other health-related behaviors, nicotine/tobacco dependence, biomarkers of tobacco exposure, intention to quit, compensatory smoking, other tobacco use, cardiovascular function, and perceived risk. Project 2 will also evaluate differences between conditions in compliance with product use and the ability to abstain from cigarette smoking when provided a financial incentive for abstinence from combusted tobacco. This is not a treatment program for smoking.
The primary objective of this study is to to verify the feasibility of obtaining and comparing two epithelia in two populations based on the following experiments: - Differentiation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem cell (iPS) clone derived from cutaneous biopsy in a population of heavy smokers (plus patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in order to obtain differentiated bronchial epithelia in vitro. - For each of these same patients, generation of bronchial epithelium in vitro from bronchial biopsy using human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) in air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures.
This study will compare nicotine delivery and product satisfaction in healthy subjects either using several different types of electronic cigarettes or smoking a conventional cigarette.
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and there will be two groups: an intervention group and a control group. Nurse practitioners (NPs) across Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) who agree to participate will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The NPs in the intervention group will be asked to screen about 30 individuals aged 40-74 years without established cardiovascular disease (CVD) that currently come to their clinics. The NPs will be asked to screen these patients for CVD using a set of specific data collection tools that will be in electronic format. The control group will carry on with usual practice. Their charts will be reviewed by the researchers at a later date. At the end of the study, the screening program, with tools and strategies for CVD screening, will be given to NPs in the control group.
