Comparative analysis of COPD associated with tobacco smoking, biomass smoke exposure or both
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2018)
Biomass smoke as a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Effects on innate immunity
(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2016)
Biomass fuel smoke exposure was associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and left ventricular dysfunction in Peru
(Wiley, 2016)
While household air pollution from biomass fuel combustion has been linked to cardiovascular disease, the effects on cardiac structure and function have not been well described. We sought to determine the association between ...
Pathogenic Mechanisms in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Due to Biomass Smoke Exposure
(Elsevier, 2015-05-03)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality and morbidity have increased significantlyworldwide in recent decades. Although cigarette smoke is still considered the main risk factor for thedevelopment of the ...
A cross-sectional study of determinants of indoor environmental exposures in households with and without chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: Burning biomass fuels indoors for cooking is associated with high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO). More efficient biomass-burning stoves and chimneys for ventilation have been ...
Urbanization and Daily Exposure to Biomass Fuel Smoke Both Contribute to Chronic Bronchitis Risk in a Population with Low Prevalence of Daily Tobacco Smoking
(Taylor and Francis, 2015)
OBJECTIVE: Risk factors beyond tobacco smoking associated with chronic bronchitis are not well understood. We sought to describe the prevalence and risk factors of chronic bronchitis across four distinct settings in Peru ...
COVID-19 Susceptibility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-08-11)
In barely nine months, the pandemic known as COVID-19 has spread over 200 countries, affecting more than 22 million people and causing over than 786 000 deaths. Elderly people and patients with previous comorbidities such ...
Urbanisation but not biomass fuel smoke exposure is associated with asthma prevalence in four resource-limited settings
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Urbanisation is an important contributor to the prevalence of asthma worldwide, and the burden of this effect in low-income and middle-income countries undergoing rapid industrialisation appears to be growing. ...
Lack of association between chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke and markers of right ventricular pressure overload at high altitude
(Elsevier, 2014)
Chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke has been implicated in the development of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular pressure/volume overload through activation of inflammation, increase in vascular resistance, ...
