Regression analyses yielded significant increase in average CIMT (mm) in weekly smokers (0.025, 95% CI 0.006; 0.045), per cigarette/day (0.003 [...] 003, 95% CI 0.001; 0.005) and serum cotinine level (0.008/100 ?g/l, 95% CI 0.002; 0.015), which remained consistent after adjusting for parental confounders. CONCLUSION: Our study yields evidence of an early

Based on the currently accepted seroprotection threshold (antibody concentration > /= 0.1 IU/ml), PRDs had lower proportions [...] short-term tetanus and diphtheria protection as demonstrated by crude odds ratios (OR) of 0.30 (p = 0.017) and OR: 0.52 (p = 0.004), respectively. After adjusting for 'age' and 'time since last dT vaccination' [...] evidence remained for a true difference between PRDs and...
