Most of these randomized trials, however, were conducted with individuals who proactively sought treatment and who volunteered to fulfill various research requirements. It is possible that these individuals were more highly motivated to quit smoking than the typical smoker encountered in a clinical practice setting. Thus, the percentage abstinent estimates supplied with the meta-analyses may overestimate the actual level of abstinence produced by some of the treatments in real-world settings. Analyses conducted for the previous Guideline editions, though, suggest that the treatment effect sizes (odds ratios or ORs) are relatively stable across individuals seeking treatment (“treatment seekers”) and those recruited via inclusive recruitment strategies (“all-comers”). Randomized controlled trials were exclusively used in meta-analyses. However, the Panel recognized that variations in study inclusion criteria sometimes were warranted. For instance, research on tobacco interventions in adolescents frequently assigns interventions on the basis of larger units, such as schools. These units, rather than individuals, were allowed to serve as units of analysis when analyzing interventions for adolescents. In such cases, studies were combined for inclusion in meta-analyses if the study satisfied other review criteria. A similar strategy was followed in the review of health systems research. In certain areas, research other than randomized clinical trials was evaluated and considered to inform Panel opinion and judgment, though not submitted to meta-analysis. This occurred with topics such as tobacco dependence treatment in specific populations, tailoring interventions, and cost-effectiveness of tobacco dependence treatment. Literature Review and Inclusion Criteria Approximately 8,700 articles were screened to identify evaluable literature. This figure includes approximately 2,700 articles added to the literature since publication of the 2000 Guideline. These articles were obtained through searches of 11 electronic databases and reviews of published abstracts and bibliographies. An article was deemed appropriate for meta-analysis if it met the criteria for inclusion established a priori by the Panel. These criteria were that the article: (a) reported the results of a randomized, placebo/comparison controlled trial of a tobacco use treatment intervention randomized on the patient level (except as noted above); (b) provided followup results at least 5 months after the quit date (except in the case of studies evaluating tobacco dependence treatments Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: 2008 Update 22 for pregnant smokers); (c) was published in a peer-reviewed journal; (d) was published between January 1975 and June 2007; (e) was published in English; and (f) was one of the 11 topics chosen to be included in the 2008 update (see Table 1.1). It is important to note that the article-screening criteria were updated for the 2008 Guideline update. Additionally, articles were screened for relevance to safety, economic, or health systems issues. As a result of the original and update literature reviews, more than 300 articles were identified for possible inclusion in a meta-analysis, and more than 600 additional articles were examined in detail by the Panel. These latter articles were used in the formulation of Panel recommendations that were not supported by meta-analyses. The literature search for the update project was validated by comparing the results against a search conducted by the CDC and through review by the expert Panel. When individual authors published multiple articles meeting the metaanalytic inclusion criteria, the articles were screened to determine whether they contained unique data. When two articles reported data from the same group of subjects, both articles were reviewed to ensure that complete data were obtained. The data were treated as arising from a single study in meta-analyses. Preparation of Evidence Tables Two Guideline staff reviewers independently read and coded each article that met inclusion criteria. The reviewers coded the treatment characteristics that were used in data analyses (see Tables 6.1 and 6.2 in Chapter 6). The same general coding procedure employed during the 2000 Guideline process was employed during the update. When adjustments to the coding process were made, articles coded with the original process were re-coded to reflect the changed coding (e.g., more refined coding criteria were used for the coding of treatment intensity). A third reviewer then examined the coding of both reviewers and adjudicated any differences. Discrepancies that could not be resolved through this process were adjudicated by the project manager, Panel chair, and/or the Panel’s senior scientist. Finally, each article accepted for a meta-analysis had key fields reviewed by the project manager as a final quality check. The data then were compiled and used in relevant analyses and/or Panel deliberations. Analyses done for the 2000 Guideline revealed that intervention coding categories could be used reliably by independent raters.94 Overview and Methods

Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: 2008 Update

It is important that the medical profession plays a significant role in critically evaluating the use of diagnostic procedures and therapies as they are introduced and tested in the detection, management, or prevention of disease states. Rigorous and expert analysis of the available data documenting absolute and relative benefits and risks of those procedures and therapies can produce helpful guidelines that improve the effectiveness of care, optimize patient outcomes, and favorably affect the overall cost of care by focusing resources on the most effective strategies.

The American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have jointly engaged in the production of such guidelines in the area of cardiovascular disease since 1980. The ACC/AHA Task Force on Practice Guidelines, whose charge is to develop, update, or revise practice guidelines for important cardiovascular diseases and procedures, directs this effort. The Task Force is pleased to have this guideline developed in conjunction with the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Writing committees are charged with the task of performing an assessment of the evidence and acting as an independent group of authors to develop or update written recommendations for clinical practice.

Experts in the subject under consideration have been selected from all 3 organizations to examine subject-specific data and write guidelines. The process includes additional representatives from other medical practitioner and specialty groups when appropriate. Writing committees are specifically charged to perform a formal literature review, weigh the strength of evidence for or against a particular treatment or procedure, and include estimates of expected health outcomes where data exist. Patient-specific modifiers, comorbidities, and issues of patient preference that might influence the choice of particular tests or therapies are considered as well as frequency of follow-up and cost effectiveness. When available, information from studies on cost will be considered; however, review …

Carotid rupture and intraplaque hemorrhage: Immunophenotype and role of cells involved

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS): a study of cardiac conduction system.

The authors are the first to identify in man the pre-Botzinger complex, a structure of the brainstem critical for respiratory rhythmogenesis, previously investigated only in rats The evaluation of the neurokinin 1 receptors and somatostatin immunoreactivity in a total of 63 brains from 25 fetuses, nine newborns and 29 infants, allowed to delineate the anatomic structure and the boundaries of this human neural center in a restricted area of the ventrolateral medulla at the obex level, ventral to the semicompact ambiguus nucleus The neurons of the pre-Botzinger complex were roundish in fetuses before 30 gestational weeks and lengthened after birth, embedded in a dendritic system belonging to the reticular formation Besides, structural and/or functional alterations of the pre-Botzinger complex were present in a high percentage of sudden deaths (47%), prevalent in late fetal deaths In particular, different developmental defects (hypoplasia with a decreased neuronal number and/or dendritic hypodevelopment of the reticular formation, abnormal neuronal morphology, immunonegativity of neurotransmitters, and agenesis) were found The authors suggest that the pre-Botzinger complex contains a variety of neurons not only involved in respiratory rhythm generation, but more extensively, essential to the control of all vital functions Sudden death and in particular sudden unexpected fetal death could therefore be ascribed to a selective process when developmental alterations of the pre-Botzinger complex arise
