Since the reduction in the incidence of the prone sleeping position, maternal cigarette smoking has become the strongest modifiable risk factor for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
It is widely considered that exposure to maternal cigarette smoking in pregnancy has risk effects on offspring attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Our aims were to evaluate the relationship among maternal cigarette consumption, fetal smoking exposure and outcome of pregnancy in a population of pregnant women who smoked.
To assess relationships between marker concentrations of tobacco in meconium and weekly self-reported maternal cigarette consumption, and prediction of neonatal growth outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of maternal cigarette smoking on the fetal accretion of fat and lean body mass.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of maternal cigarette smoking on placental histology in women with abruption.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of maternal cigarette smoking on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and concentration in the fetal umbilical vein, and subsequently, to relate the findings to the size of the newborn.
Childhood cancer (Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)) No statistically significant associations were found for maternal cigarette smoking when exposures were restricted to the month immediately preceding pregnancy; the first, second, or third trimester of pregnancy; or during the time the mother was nursing the index child.
Several studies have been conducted to investigate whether insults to the developing lung by incidental environmental factors, such as postnatal infection or maternal cigarette smoke as well as medical interventions, such as ventilation and oxygen supplementation, affect lung morphogenesis and repair process via WNT signaling.
Study Design: A total of 2579 nonanomalous, singleton infants delivered at 28 to 44 weeks' gestation with chorioamnionitis were matched 1 3 for ethnicity, gestational age, parity, and maternal cigarette use (all of which were correlated with both chorioamnionitis and markers of fetal growth restriction) with 7732 control infants.
Reduce maternal cigarette smoking.
