Harmful Effects

INTRODUCTION: Smoking causes harmful effects to the oral cavity, therefore dentists play an important role in helping their patients to quit. OBJECTIVE: In this article, we aimed to report the application of a practical method of clinicalbehavioural treatment for smoking cessation which was performed by a Dental Surgeon in a male patient who wanted to stop smoking. CASE DESCRIPTION: Behavioural support was based on the Standard Treatment Program (STP) recommended by an English institution specialized in preparing health professionals to promote smoking cessation. Drug support involved Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) by the combination of transdermal patches and chewing gums in different stages and dosages. The Fagerström Test was used to assess the patient’s level of nicotine dependence. Abstinence was monitored by assessing the patient’s level of expired carbon monoxide using a monoximeter. Success in promoting patient’s abstinence was observed during 40 days of treatment and one year of follow-up. Conclusion: The STP behavioural support methodology combined with NRT proved to be quite feasible and promising to be used by dentists in order to treat smoking in the dental office.

Abstract Background Migrant populations usually report higher smoking rates. Among those migrant populations, Turkish- and Kurdish-speaking migrants are often overrepresented. Providing equal access to health services is one of major challenges of our time. The need for adapted smoking-cessation treatments for Turkish-speaking populations to achieve equity in health led, in 2006, to the development and implementation of the Tiryaki-Kukla smoking-cessation program in Switzerland. Since 2006, 5'305 Turkish-speaking migrants in Switzerland were reached with tobacco-related information and the offer of tailored treatment. In short, the treatment was grounded in behavioral therapy and was adapted from the weekly group-counseling sessions applied by the Cancer League Zurich. The adaptation focused on language, cultural and health literacy issues. The aims of the study were to evaluate one-year quit rates for smoking-cessation courses held from 2006 to 2018 and investigate whether certain characteristics predict long-term abstinence. Methods Evaluation of the program included a pre/post questionnaire (session 1/ 3 months after the quit day) and a follow-up telephone call twelve months after the quit day. To elucidate factors associated with long-term abstinence, Cox regression analysis and Weighted Generalized Equation Models were used. Results Of the 478 who participated in smoking-cessation courses, 45.4% declared themselves non-smokers at one-year follow-up. Characteristics associated with long-term abstinence were length of the course (eight vs. six sessions), adherence to the course, use of pharmacotherapy or NRT products, and baseline level of dependence. Conclusions Our findings are consistent with existing evidence supporting culturally-adapted smoking cessation interventions to reduce health inequity in migrant populations. However, achieving harm reduction in smokers with higher dependence scores remains challenging. Key messages A culturally-adapted smoking cessation course showed effective to reduce health inequity. One challenge remains: Achieving harm reduction in migrants with higher dependence scores.

Background Migrant populations usually report higher smoking rates. Among those migrant populations, Turkish- and Kurdish-speaking migrants are often overrepresented. Providing equal access to health services is one of the major challenges of our time. The need for adapted smoking-cessation treatments for Turkish-speaking populations to achieve equity in health led, in 2006, to the development and implementation of the Tiryaki-Kukla smoking-cessation program. The aims of the current study were to evaluate one-year quit rates for smoking-cessation courses held from 2006–2018 and investigate whether certain characteristics predict long-term smoking cessation or reduction. Methods Program evaluation included a pre/post questionnaire (session 1/ 3 months after the quit day) and a follow-up telephone call twelve months after the quit day. To elucidate factors associated with long-term smoking cessation and reduction, Cox regression analysis and Weighted Generalized Equation Models were used. Results Of the 478 who participated in smoking-cessation courses, 45.4% declared themselves non-smokers at one-year follow-up. This quit rate is higher than that achieved during the preliminary evaluation of the program involving 61 participants (37.7%). Predictors of long-term smoking cessation were course length (eight vs. six sessions) (95% CI = 1.04–1.36, p = .01), adherence to the course (95% CI = 0.98–0.99, p<0.01), use of pharmacotherapy or nicotine replacement therapy products (95% CI = 0.74–0.98, p = .02), and time passed in the morning until the first cigarette is smoked (95% CI5min = 1.17–1.77, p<0.001; 95% CI30min = 1.09–1.65, p<0.01). Predictors of change in cigarettes smoked per day among smokers were—the time passed until the first cigarette in the morning (5min p < .001; 30min p < .001; 60min p < .01)-, gender (p < .001), and level of motivation to quit at baseline (p = .04). Conclusions Our findings are consistent with existing evidence supporting adapted smoking cessation interventions to reduce health inequity in migrant populations. However, achieving harm reduction in smokers with higher dependence scores remains challenging.

585 Background: Examin does agressive surgical treatment in combination with HIPEC (oxaliplatin) could increase median survial in patients with advanced stage of colorectal cancer. Methods: Ultraradical surgery and HIPEC was applied in patients who were initialy with peritoneal carcinomatosis or infiltration in around organs. We evaluated the patients during the period 2000-2010 in this retrospective study. Results: During 2000 and 2010 we peformed 132 ultraradical surgical procedure. All patients were treated with HIPEC (40C) using oxaliplatin (410mg/m2) in 3l of perfusat during 90 minutes. The average duration of the procedure was 5h 57 minutes.The follow up period was 72 months. 120 had Ro and 12 had R1 resection. One year survival rate was 81.25% and three year survival rate was 56.25%, six year survival rate is 40.6%. Conclusions: Ultraradical surgery combined with HIPEC prolongs patient's survival and is considered to be a safe procedure if performed by the experience team of oncological surgeons.

The Impact

Objective: To evaluate the impact of short-term smoking cessation on Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) component risk factors, and hormones related to MetS and human metabolism.Methods: Smoking veterans with MetS, attending stop smoking class, were followed up close to one year. Paired comparisons between after the follow up and baseline data were made using t-test.Results: A total of 95 smoking veterans with MetS completed average close to one year follow up. Thirty subjects completely quit for the average of 6 months, while 36 subjects continued smoking during the follow up. At the end of study, quitters average waist circumference increased 2.98 cm (0.69–5.27), weight increased 2.05 kg (−0.03 to 4.13), HDL cholesterol increased 4.17 mg/dl (1.03–7.32), triglyceride decreased 56.17 mg/dl ((−1.96 to 111.20), and MetS prevalence decreased 13% (p = 0.05). The changes in ghrelin were moderately positively associated with duration of quitting smoking (R2 = 43.99, and p < 0.01).Conclusion: Compared to the baseline, quitters HDL was up, triglyceride was down, and overall MetS prevalence was lower. The longer the duration of quitting, bigger the increase in ghrelin. There were no significant changes in serum leptin, ghrelin, serum insulin, and insulin resistance after quitting smoking.
