Potts JF, Rona RJ, Oyarzun MJ, et al., 2008, Indoor risk factors for cough and their relation to wheeze and sensitization in Chilean young adults., Am J Public Health, Vol: 98, Pages: 680-686
OBJECTIVES: We assessed the effects of indoor risk factors, including smoking, on different types of cough and on cough and wheeze in combination. METHODS: Our sample was composed of 1232 men and women residing in a semirural area of Chile. We used a standardized questionnaire, sensitization to 8 allergens, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine to assess cough and wheeze characteristics. Information was gathered on dampness, mold, ventilation, heating, housing quality, smoking, and environmental tobacco smoke exposure. RESULTS: Most exposures were associated with cough alone or cough in combination with wheeze. Smoking, past smoking, and environmental tobacco smoke exposure were strongly associated with dry cough and wheeze. The use of coal for heating was associated with dry cough. Leaks, mold, and lack of kitchen ventilation were associated with cough and wheeze. Nocturnal cough and productive cough were associated with specific types of sensitization, but dry cough was not. Productive cough was associated with hyperresponsiveness to methacholine. CONCLUSIONS: Several different types of indoor exposures, including environmental tobacco smoke exposure, are important contributors to morbidity associated with cough and wheeze. A vigorous preventive strategy designed to lower exposures to indoor risk factors would lower rates of respiratory morbidity.

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence from observational studies has suggested that blood levels and dietary intake of selenium of adults with asthma are lower than those of controls. The only previous trial of selenium supplementation in adults with asthma found no objective evidence of benefit but involved only 24 participants. METHODS: A randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial of selenium supplementation was performed in adults with asthma in London, UK, the majority of whom (75%) reported inhaled steroid use at baseline. 197 participants were randomised to receive either a high-selenium yeast preparation (100 microg daily, n=99) or placebo (yeast only, n=98) for 24 weeks. The primary outcome was asthma-related quality of life (QoL) score. Secondary outcomes included lung function, asthma symptom scores, peak flow and bronchodilator usage. Linear regression was used to analyse the change in outcome between the two treatment arms by ""intention to treat"". RESULTS: There was a 48% increase in plasma selenium between baseline and end of trial in the active treatment group but no change in the placebo group. While the QoL score improved more in the active treatment group than in the placebo group, the difference in change in score between the two groups was not significant (-0.05 (95% CI -0.19 to 0.09); p=0.47). Selenium supplementation was not associated with any significant improvement in secondary outcomes compared with placebo. CONCLUSIONS: Selenium supplementation had no clinical benefit in adults with asthma, the majority of whom were taking inhaled steroids.

Momin AU, Deshpande R, Potts J, et al., 2005, Incidence of sternal infection in diabetic patients undergoing bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting., Ann Thorac Surg, Vol: 80, Pages: 1765-1772
BACKGROUND: Bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) bypass grafts have advantages over single internal thoracic artery (SITA) bypass grafts in the medium term, particularly in diabetics. However, the perceived higher sternal complication rates seen in diabetics have led many surgeons to avoid the use of BITA surgery. The aim of our study was to assess the validity of this approach by assessing the incidence of sternal infections over a 10-year period in one institution. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made of our coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients over a 10-year period (7,581 patients). Nine hundred and twenty-two of the patients were diabetics (261 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [IDDM]). Of the insulin-dependent diabetics, 166 had SITA, and 95 had BITA grafts. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in this subgroup in terms of gender, preoperative angina, dyspnea class, left ventricular function, and number of distal anastomoses. Comparing the rates of sternal wound complications of SITA and BITA in IDDM are the following: (1) superficial sternal infection, 6.6% in SITA, 1.1% in BITA (p = 0.04); (2) deep sternal infection, 1.2% in SITA, 3.2% in BITA (p = 0.27); (3) sternal dehiscence, 1.2% in SITA, 3.2% in BITA (p = 0.27). CONCLUSIONS: Our data do not support the perception that BITA grafting increases the risk of sternal complications in insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
