Health risk and disease burden attributable to long-term global fine-mode particles
This study investigates global spatiotemporal variations in PM2.5 using the newly developed satellite-derived PM2.5 dataset from 1998 to 2018. An integrated exposure-response (IER) model was employed to examine the characteristics of PM2.5-related deaths caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), lung cancer (LC), and stroke in adults (age≥25), as well as lower respiratory infection (LRI) in children (age≤5). The results showed that high annual PM2.5 concentrations were observed mainly in East Asia and South Asia. Over the 19-year period, PM2.5 concentrations constantly decrea...

Smoking and Atherosclerosis: Mechanisms of Disease and New Therapeutic Approaches.
Abstract It has been clear that at least 1 billion adults worldwide are smokers and at least 700 million children are passive smokers at home. Smoking exerts a detrimental effect to many organ systems and is responsible for illnesses such as lung cancer, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer of head and neck, cancer of the urinary and gastrointestinal tract, periodontal disease, cataract and arthritis. Additionally, smoking is an important modifiable risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease such as coronary artery disease, stable angina, acute coronary syndromes, sudden death, s...

SNHG11 ：A New Budding Star in Tumors and Inflammatory Diseases
CONCLUSION: LncRNA SNHG11 can serve as an early diagnostic biomarker, therapeutic target, and prognostic indicator in various diseases, particularly tumors. SNHG11 plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of tumors and inflammatory diseases through various mechanisms, which has significant implications for clinical diagnosis and treatment.PMID:37165588 | DOI:10.2174/1389557523666230509122402
