Acute and Short-term Effects of Secondhand Smoke on Lung Function and Cytokine Production
(2009)Rationale: The acute effect of secondhand smoke (SHS) on lung function and the duration of system disruption remain unknown. Objectives: To assess the SHS effects and their duration on lung function and inflammatory markers. ... -
Acute effects of electronic and tobacco cigarette smoking on complete blood count
(2012)The World Health Organisation called for research assessing the safety of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette). We evaluated the acute effect of active and passive e-cigarette and tobacco cigarette smoking on complete blood ... -
Acute effects of second-hand smoke on complete blood count
(2014)We assessed the acute effects of a 1-h exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) on complete blood count (CBC) markers in a controlled simulated bar/restaurant environment. Nineteen adult never-smokers completed a 1-h .exposure ... -
Acute impact of active and passive electronic cigarette smoking on serum cotinine and lung function
(2013)Context: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are becoming increasingly popular yet their effects on health remain unknown. Objective: To conduct the first comprehensive and standardized assessment of the acute impact of ... -
Assessment of PCBs exposure in human hair using double focusing high resolution mass spectrometry and single quadrupole mass spectrometry
(2012)Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) levels were assessed in human hair samples, originating from two main agricultural regions of Greece. The analysis was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas ... -
A brief exposure to moderate passive smoke increases metabolism and thyroid hormone secretion
(2007)Context: Active smoking influences normal metabolic status and thyroid function. Objective: The objective was to assess experimentally the effects of 1 h of moderate passive smoking in a controlled simulated bar/ restaurant ... -
Correlation between plant growth regulator release rate and bioactivity for the series of newly synthesized phytoactive polymers
(2006)Phytoactive polymers are high molecular weight systems in which a plant growth regulator (PGR) unit is attached to the polymeric chain by a hydrolyzable chemical bond. The release rate of the PGR is linked to the biological ... -
Development and application of GC-MS method for monitoring of long-term exposure to the pesticide cypermethrin
(2014)Cypermethrin (CPMN) is a synthetic pyrethroid used as an insecticide in large-scale commercial agricultural applications as well as for domestic purposes. In the present study a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) ... -
Development and application of LC-APCI-MS method for biomonitoring of animal and human exposure to imidacloprid
(2013)Imidacloprid (IMI) is a relatively new neuro-active neonicotinoid insecticide and nowadays one of the largest selling insecticides worldwide. In the present study a LC-APCI-MS based method was developed and validated for ... -
Exposure to secondhand smoke promotes sympathetic activity and cardiac muscle cachexia
(2014)Recent trials demonstrated that a single brief exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) generates acute adverse health effects. We evaluated the acute (immediately after exposure) and short-term (0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after ... -
Hypospadias in offspring is associated with chronic exposure of parents to organophosphate and organochlorine pesticides
(2014)We have currently evaluated the possible association between hypospadias and exposure to organophosphorus (OP) and organochlorine (OC) pesticides. For this purpose, we measured the dialkyl phosphate metabolites of ... -
Instruments to Assess Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Large Cohorts of Never Smokers: The Smoke Scales
(2014)The objectives of this study were to: (i) to develop questionnaires that can identify never-smoking children and adults experiencing increased exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS+), (ii) to determine their validity against ... -
Multicomponent Analysis of Replacement Liquids of Electronic Cigarettes Using Chromatographic Techniques
(2015)The electronic cigarette (e-cig) is an invention of the past few years and its popularity is rapidly growing all over the world. A rapid multicomponent analytical protocol for the analysis of the replacement liquids ... -
Respiratory and Immune Response to Maximal Physical Exertion following Exposure to Secondhand Smoke in Healthy Adults
(2012)We assessed the cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical exertion following secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure through a randomized crossover experiment. Data were obtained from 16 (8 women) non-smoking adults during ...
