Broad in scope, this state-of-the-art collection is broken down into four sections: the changing landscape of the tobacco epidemic and challenges to curb it; treatment of tobacco dependence (pharmacotherapy, behavioural support); improving the care of patients with particular conditions who smoke (asthma, COPD, TB, cardiovascular diseases, etc.); and prevention. It also deals with some of the more controversial topics, such as e-cigarettes and web applications. Readers will gain an understanding of how to implement smoking cessation into their everyday practice, and will also expand their knowledge about the policy and system changes needed for population-wide smoking cessation.

Nose and throat study reveals why people with COVID-19 lose sense of smell

Researchers studying tissue removed from patients' noses during surgery believe they may have discovered the reason why so many people with COVID-19 lose their sense of smell, even when they have no other symptoms. The researchers say their findings, published in the European Respiratory Journal (ERJ), offer clues as to why COVID-19 is so infectious and suggest that targeting this part of the body could potentially offer more effective treatments.

Newborns infected with COVID-19 experience mild symptoms

Researches have identified a total of four cases of newborn babies with COVID-19 infection in China. In all cases, the babies experienced only mild symptoms with none requiring intensive care or mechanical ventilation, according to research published in the European Respiratory Journal. The reserachers say the rapid spread of the infection may mean there are other cases of newborns with COVID-19 that they were not able to track down.
