Extractions: FACT SHEET NO. 5 July 2001 Introduction It is estimated that smoking causes some 120,000 premature deaths every year Lung cancer Lung cancer kills more people than any other type of cancer and at least 80% of these deaths are caused by smoking. In 1999, 29,406 people in England and Wales died of lung cancer. Although it has been declining slightly among men under 65 during the past 20 years, it is still rising in women. It is the most commonly found cancer in men in the UK and has now overtaken breast cancer as the leading cancer killer of women, responsible for 13,110 deaths in 1999 compared to 13,020 deaths from breast cancer. The risk of lung cancer increases directly with the number of cigarettes smoked. In a study of male British doctors, Increased risk of developing lung cancer Number of cigarettes smoked per day Annual death rate per 100,000 men 78 (8 times that of non-smokers) 127 (13 times that of non-smokers) 25 or more 251 (25 times that of non-smokers) Age at time of starting to smoke is important. The younger a person is when he or she starts smoking, the greater the risk of developing lung cancer. A recent US study found that smoking during the teenage years causes permanent genetic changes in the lungs and forever increases the risk of lung cancer, even if the smoker subsequently stops. Risk of lung cancer increases approximately in proportion to the duration of smoking: smoking 20 cigarettes a day for 40 years is 8 times more hazardous than smoking 40 cigarettes a day for 20 years.

Smokers At Higher Risk For Infections
People who smoke cigarettes or breathe secondhand smoke are at a higher risk of pneumonia or meningitis.
http://www.nurseweek.com/news/00-03/031300a.html

Extractions: By Mary Ann Hellinghausen Atlanta . People who smoke cigarettes or breathe secondhand smoke are at a higher risk for contracting pneumonia, a bloodstream infection, or meningitis, according to a study by the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study, published in the March 9 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine , found that the risk of infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae , the virus that causes pneumonia, was four times higher for cigarette smokers and two-and-a-half times higher for those exposed to secondhand smoke. "This study documents yet another example of an adverse health event linked to active and passive smoking, said Michael Eriksen, MD, director of the CDCs Office on Smoking and Health. "Reducing the incidence of pneumococcal disease is yet another reason to continue to support public health programs to reduce smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke." Researchers worked with microbiology labs in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Toronto to identify all cases of invasive pneumococcal infection in adults ages 18 to 64 and selected a sample of patients for further study. Through telephone interviews with those patients and randomly selected healthy residents of the same age, the researchers discovered cigarette smoking was the strongest risk factor for pneumococcal infection in adults with normal immune systems.

Extractions: preventing and treating PCP. Early diagnosis and treatment of HIV in pregnant women can help prevent HIV and PCP in their children. What is PCP? Pneumocystis carinii (NEW-mo-SIS-tis CA-RIN- nee-eye) pneumonia, or "PCP," is a severe illness that adults and children with HIV or AIDS may get. It is caused by a germ called Pneumocystis carinii. Most children infected with this germ dont get pneumonia because their immune systems are normal. Children whose immune systems are badly damaged by HIV can get PCP. Children with HIV are less likely to get PCP today than in earlier years. However, PCP is still the most common serious infection among children with AIDS in the United States. How do I know if my child has PCP?

Extractions: Find a Hospital / Facility Pneumococcal (pronounced new-mo-KOK-al) disease is an infection caused by bacteria. These bacteria can attack different parts of the body. When they invade the lungs, they cause the most common kind of bacterial pneumonia. When the same bacteria attack blood cells, they cause an infection called bacteremia (bak-ter-E-me-ah). And in the brain, they cause meningitis. Pnemococcal pneumonia is a serious illness that kills thousands of older people in the United States each year. Yes. The pneumococcal vaccine is safe, it works, and one shot lasts most people a lifetime. People who get the vaccine are protected against almost all of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia and other pneumococcal diseases as well. The shot, which is covered by Medicare, can be a lifesaver. Who Should Get the Vaccine?

Extractions: Back to: Contents Page Part I. Issues On Prevention Of Nosocomial Pneumonia, 1994 I. Etiologic Agents The reported distribution of etiologic agents causing nosocomial pneumonia varies between hospitals because of differences in patient populations and diagnostic methods employed.(2-10) In general, however, bacteria have been the most frequently isolated pathogens.(2-6,9,11-13) Schaberg et al reported that in 1986-1989, aerobic bacteria comprised at least 73%, and fungi 4%, of isolates from sputum and tracheal aspirates from pneumonia patients at the University of Michigan Hospitals and hospitals participating in the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System (NNIS); very few anaerobic bacteria and no viruses were reported, probably because anaerobic and viral cultures were not performed routinely in the reporting hospitals ( Table 1 ).(3) Similarly, cultures of bronchoscopic specimens from mechanically ventilated patients with pneumonia have rarely yielded anaerobes.(5-7,9,11,14,15) Only the report by Bartlett, which was based mainly on cultures of transtracheal aspirates from patients not receiving mechanically assisted ventilation, showed a predominance of anaerobes. Nosocomial bacterial pneumonias are frequently polymicrobial,(4,7,9,11,12,15-19) and gram-negative bacilli are the usual predominant organisms (

Extractions: pneumonia By Danielle Zerr, MD Images (click to view larger image) Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can be caused by many different microorganisms. These include viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. What is going on in the body? Pneumonia occurs when an infectious organism causes inflammation in the lungs. The air sacs fill with liquid and pus. This means they can't deliver oxygen effectively to the blood vessels. What are the signs and symptoms of the infection? The symptoms of pneumonia vary depending on the organism but may include the following: chest pain cough that may bring up sputum fever and chills shortness of breath vomiting weakness What are the causes and risks of the infection? Pneumonia is a fairly common infection that affects people of all ages. Some of its more common causes are as follows: bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Haemophilus influenzae fungi, such as the organism that causes aspergillosis organisms similar to bacteria, such as the ones that cause tuberculosis and chlamydia parasites, such as Pneumocystis carinii, which is often seen in people with AIDS

Extractions: Web posted at: 5:10 a.m. EST (1010 GMT) Latest developments: Also: MOSCOW (CNN) Russian President Boris Yeltsin was hospitalized with "the first signs of pneumonia" Wednesday, raising new concerns about his health two months after his heart surgery. Yeltsin was being treated at the Central Clinical Hospital in suburban Moscow. Initially, his spokesman would not elaborate on his condition, except to say Yeltsin was not running a fever. But the Kremlin issued a statement Thursday confirming that he had pneumonia. The statement also said doctors described Yeltsin's temperature as "normal" and he was being treated with anti-biotics. No further details were given. The 65-year-old Yeltsin, who underwent quintuple bypass heart surgery in November and returned to work only two weeks ago, was reported on Monday to be suffering from a bad cold or the flu. He then canceled his schedule and returned to his country home to rest. U.S. consultant optimistic on prognosis

Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index P pneumonia Search pneumonia Anything that causes a consolidation, or filling up, of the air sacs and tubes of the lung is called a pneumonia. Pneumonia is distinct from and should not be confused with bronchitis. Usually, and as is commonly understood, a pneumonia is caused by an infection, most often bacterial , but sometimes viral in origin. Bacterial pneumonia is most commonly caused by a germ called Streptococcus pneumoniae , and generally involves high fever, cough, and some degree of "toxicity," that is feeling pretty bad. Pneumonia is also caused by mycoplasma , commonly called "walking pneumonia," because the patient isn't all that sick and is literally walking around. Chlamydia can cause pneumonia, especially in very young infants as a consequence of an infection picked up travelling down the birth canal. These babies usually have an eye infection ( conjunctivitis ) to go along with a severe, hacking cough. However, our definition does not exclude pneumonia from other causes, and chief among these is consolidation of a section of the lungs by foreign material, usually vomited food - or aspiration pneumonia. Severely handicapped children who are lying horizontally all the time are at risk for this complication. Hydrocarbon solvents down in the lungs can cause incredibly bad chemical pneumonias. A certain furniture polish is an example of a substance pediatricians advise strongly against having in the home at all for just that reason. It has been lethal on quite a few occasions. Ask your doctor about that and remember that
Passage Akio Morita, 78
Akio Morita, Sony's cofounder and the father of the Walkman, died of pneumonia Sunday in a Tokyo hospital. Morita was the marketing genius behind some of the company's greatest innovations. Made in Japan was a pejorative term when Morita and Masaru Ibuka started their consumer products business more than 50 years ago. Sony has gone on to become a giant in the electronics and entertainment industries. Morita has been in poor health since suffering a stroke in 1993. Wired News
