Anal.Chim.Acta Pub Date Free Form Volume 756 Issue Start Page 13 Other Pages 22 Notes ID: 23176735 Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language en SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract A novel sorbent for magnetic solid-phase extraction by self-assembling of organosulfur compound, (bis-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-dithiophosphinic acid), onto the silver-coated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles was introduced. Due to the formation of covalent bond of S-Ag, the new coating on the silver surface was very stable and showed high thermal stability (up to 320Â°C). The size, morphology, composition, and properties of the prepared nanoparticles have also been characterized and determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDX), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Extraction efficiency of the new sorbent was investigated by extraction of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as model compounds. The optimum extraction conditions for PAHs were obtained as of extraction time, 20 min; 50 mg sorbent from 100 mL of the sample solution, and elution with 100 ÂµL of 1-propanol under fierce vortex for 2 min. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration curves were obtained in the range of 0.05-100 Âµg L(-1) (R(2)>0.9980) and the LODs (S/N=3) were obtained in the range of 0.02-0.10 Âµg L(-1). Relative standard deviations (RSDs) for intra- and inter-day precision were 2.6-4.2% and 3.6-8.3%, respectively. In addition, feasibility of the method was demonstrated with extraction and determination of PAHs from some real samples containing tap water, hookah water as well as soil samples with relative recovery of 82.4-109.0% and RSDs of 3.5-11.6%.

METHODS: A cross-sectional study conducted with 16-18 year-old high school students in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. RESULTS: Of the 1272 participants, 414 (33.0%) reported having tried WP smoking. Of this group, 141 (34.1%) were female and 273 (65.9%) were male. Further, 129 (10.2%) students were current WP smokers who had used at least one rock in the past month; 20 were female (1.6%) and 120 were male (8.6%). Regarding age, 276 (68.1%) students who tried WP smoking at least once began when they were over 11 years of age, whereas 129 (31.9%) began WP smoking at or before 11 years of age. Adjusted odds ratios showed that trying WP smoking at least once was associated with smoking after the age of 11 (p=0.021, OR 7.7; CI: 1.4-43.6) and accepting water-pipes from a friend (p=0.024, OR 10.6; CI: 1.4-83.4). CONCLUSION: A high prevalence of WP smoking exists among male and female high schools students in Riyadh, KSA. WP smoking was reported to begin in early adulthood.

Hookah use: going down in smoke	2012	Read more...

Knowledge deficits persist in regards to this form of smoking, because many perceive it as less harmful than cigarette smoking and little research is available. Knowledge about hookah smoking can be instrumental in guiding health professionals to address this practice with their clients and in their communities. A failure to address all tobacco products as unique, individual entities undermines any success in public policy efforts to control tobacco use.

The objective of this analysis was to evaluate smoking patterns in a large general population sample of individuals aged = 40 years in ten countries in the region (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and United Arab Emirates), together with Pakistan, using a standardised methodology. A random sample of 457,258 telephone numbers was generated and called. This identified 65,154 eligible subjects, of whom 62,086 agreed to participate. A screening questionnaire was administered to each participant, which included six questions relating to cigarette consumption and waterpipe use. The age- and gender-adjusted proportion of respondents reporting current or past smoking of cigarettes or waterpipes was 31.2% 95% CI: 30.9-31.6%]. This proportion was significantly higher (p Descriptors Links http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0954-6111(12)70011-2 Book Title Database MEDLINE; http://www.globalhealthlibrary.net/ Publisher Data Source Authors Khattab,Adel, Javaid,Arshad, Iraqi,Ghali, Alzaabi,Ashraf, Ben Kheder, Ali, Koniski,Marie-Louise, Shahrour,Naem, Taright,Samya, Idrees,Magdy, Polatli,Mehmet, Rashid,Nauman, El Hasnaoui, Abdelkader Original/Translated Title URL Date of Electronic PMCID Editors

Pub Date Free Form Volume 2 Issue 1 Start Page 80 Other Pages 84 Notes ID: 802668 Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language en SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the reasons of Shisha smoking among teenagers in Ipoh, Perak. Data was collected using in-depth face to face interview. Purposive convenient sampling was used to select volunteer respondents from one of the Shisha restaurant located at Ipoh. The interviews were conducted for 15-20 minutes, recorded using video tape. The data obtained was transcribed and coded for the purpose of thematic analysis. All respondents were influenced by peers in their first attempt in Shisha smoking. Other reasons attracting them to continue smoking Shisha include appealing smell and the flavoured taste of Shisha, easy to access, perceived that Shisha was not addictive and its cheaper price. In terms of perception on health risk, all respondents believed that Shisha was less harmful compared to cigarette smoking. More educational programme, health talk about risk of Shisha should be developed and conducted to rectify the misconception about health risk of Shisha smoking. The target population should be focus on male teenagers who smoke Shisha in order to control the widespread Shisha smoking in Malaysia.

Bidi, cigarette, hookah and chillum are common modes of tobacco smoking in India. Many people consider hookah and chillum smoking less toxic because smoke is filtered through water or wet cloth. We evaluated the toxicity of tobacco smoking by measuring end-tidal carbon monoxide (eCO) levels after various modes of smoking. Methods. Eighteen healthy smokers who smoked bidi, cigarette, hookah and chillum on six days were studied. They smoked one bidi, one cigarette, five minutes hookah, one serve (15 minutes) hookah, five minutes chillum and one serve (15 minutes) chillum on six days randomly. The eCO values were measured before initiation of smoking and for a period of one hour after the smoking session. Increase in eCO values in comparison to baseline after different modes of smoking was compared. Results. In comparison to baseline, mean eCO levels were raised by 4.94 (0.96) parts per million (ppm) immediately and 4.17 (1.07) ppm 60 minutes after cigarette smoking. Bidi smoking caused slightly less increase in mean eCO levels (3.17 0.82]). One serve of hookah and chillum smoking caused elevation of mean eCO values by almost eight-folds higher than that of cigarette smoking. Five minutes of smoking with hookah (22.18 5.29]) and one serve of hookah (33.0 8.76]) and chillum (40.14 12.73]) caused significantly higher values of mean increase in eCO in comparison to cigarette smoking (p Descriptors Links http://pesquisa.bvsalud.org/ghl/resource/en/oai-imsear.hellis.org-123456789-138647 Book Title Database IMSEAR; http://www.globalhealthlibrary.net/ Publisher Data Source Authors Singh,Sheetu, Soumya,M., Saini,Anirudh, Mittal,Varun, Singh,Udai Veer, Singh,Virendra Original/Translated Title URL Date of Electronic PMCID Editors
