Journal ArticleDOI
Health effects associated with smokeless tobacco: a systematic review
Julia A Critchley,Belgin Ünal +1 more
TL;DR: Chewing betel quid and tobacco is associated with a substantial risk of oral cancers in India, and most recent studies from the US and Scandinavia are not statistically significant, but moderate positive associations cannot be ruled out due to lack of power.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Pharmacological and Toxicological Profile of Silver as an Antimicrobial Agent in Medical Devices
TL;DR: The mechanisms of absorption and metabolism of silver in the human body, presumed mechanisms of argyria and argyrosis, and the elimination of silver-protein complexes in the bile and urine are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls in surface sediments of the Naples harbour (southern Italy).
Mario Sprovieri,Maria Luisa Feo,Lidia Prevedello,Daniela Salvagio Manta,Simone Sammartino,S. Tamburrino,Ennio Marsella +6 more
TL;DR: Generally, the concentration of PAHs and PCBs were higher near the sites of intense industrial, shipping and/or commercial activities suggesting a direct influence of these sources on the pollutant distribution patterns.

Increased salivary acetaldehyde levels in heavy drinkers and smokers: a microbiological approach to oral cavity cancer
Nils Homann,Jyrki Tillonen,Jukka H. Meurman,Hanna Rintamäki,Christian Lindqvist,Merja Rautio,Hannele Jousimies-Somer,Mikko Salaspuro +7 more
TL;DR: Increased local microbial salivary acetaldehyde production due to ethanol among smokers and heavy drinkers could be a biological explanation for the observed synergistic carcinogenic action of alcohol and smoking on upper gastrointestinal tract cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of smoking in global and regional cancer epidemiology: current patterns and data needs
TL;DR: There was significant variability across regions in the role of smoking as a cause of the different site‐specific cancers, illustrating the importance of coupling research and surveillance of smoking with that for other risk factors for more effective cancer prevention.
