Physical test to estimate suitable workloads for an exercise program in breast cancer survivors. J Strength Cond Res 34(12): 3593-3599, 2020-Epidemiologic studies suggest that patients with breast cancer who gain weight after diagnosis have a higher risk of recurrence and death. Regular physical exercise can help minimize postdiagnosis weight gain. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a physical test for individualizing the workloads used during a fitness program. To continuously individualize the intensity of the training, a test was designed and integrated into the sessions. The test consisted in monitoring heart rate and workload during 2 bouts of cycling at moderate intensity. The workload parameters recorded during the tests were later used as reference values to plan the intensity of the next in-person training sessions. The 5 tests conducted during the 12 weeks of the intervention showed significant differences in intensity (F = 3.034, p = 0.047). Compared with the first evaluation, the intensities measured during the third, fourth, and fifth tests presented increases of 9.9% (p = 0.02), 13.2% (p = 0.019), and 17.5% (p = 0.002), respectively. A significant increase in workload with respect to body weight was observed in the physical assessment performed after the program (t = 13.2, p = 0.0001). The peak oxygen consumption with respect to body weight (peak V[Combining Dot Above]O2) achieved by the subjects during the assessment at the end of the program had also increased (t = 9.72, p = 0.0001). The intensity test, introduced in the training sessions along with the physical exercise program, was an easy-to-use, practical tool for monitoring intensity. It allows an adjustment of the workload over the program period that respects the individual progression of each patient.},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div>Guillam\u00f3, E, Travier, N, Oviedo, GR, Fonseca-Nunes, A, Alamo, JM, Cos, F, Roca, A, Ni\u00f1o, O, Agudo, A, and Javierre, C.

People smoking were more common in schools from lower area-level SES and in countries with lower TCS scores (p<0.05).nnCONCLUSIONS: Smoking at school outdoor entrances is a source of SHS exposure in Europe. These findings support the extension of smoking bans with a clear perimeter to the outdoor entrances of schools.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2020.140743<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Mart\u00ednez C, Feliu A, Castellano Y, Fu M, Fern\u00e1ndez P, Cabrera-Jaime S, Puig-Llobet M, Galimany J, Guydish J, Fern\u00e1ndez E, ETHIF Research Group. <\/p>Factors associated with receipt of the 5As model of brief intervention for smoking cessation among hospitalized patients<\/a>.

To account for nicotine presence, we used the laboratory's limit of quantification of 0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m as point threshold. We also recorded the presence of smell of smoke, people smoking, cigarette butts, and ashtrays. Half of the schools were in deprived areas. We grouped countries according to their Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) score, smoking prevalence (2017-2018), and United Nations M49 geographical region.nnRESULTS: There were detectable levels of nicotine in 45.9% of the outdoor entrances, in 29.1% smell of smoke, in 43.2% people smoking, in 75.0% discarded butts, and in 14.6% ashtrays.

To account for nicotine presence, we used the laboratory's limit of quantification of 0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m as point threshold. We also recorded the presence of smell of smoke, people smoking, cigarette butts, and ashtrays. Half of the schools were in deprived areas. We grouped countries according to their Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) score, smoking prevalence (2017-2018), and United Nations M49 geographical region.nnRESULTS: There were detectable levels of nicotine in 45.9% of the outdoor entrances, in 29.1% smell of smoke, in 43.2% people smoking, in 75.0% discarded butts, and in 14.6% ashtrays. Median nicotine concentration was below the laboratory's limit of quantification <0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m (Interquartile range:<0.06-0.119). We found higher SHS levels in countries with lower TCS scores, higher national smoking prevalence, and in the Southern and Eastern European regions.

We grouped countries according to their Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) score, smoking prevalence (2017-2018), and United Nations M49 geographical region.nnRESULTS: There were detectable levels of nicotine in 45.9% of the outdoor entrances, in 29.1% smell of smoke, in 43.2% people smoking, in 75.0% discarded butts, and in 14.6% ashtrays. Median nicotine concentration was below the laboratory's limit of quantification <0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m (Interquartile range:<0.06-0.119). We found higher SHS levels in countries with lower TCS scores, higher national smoking prevalence, and in the Southern and Eastern European regions. People smoking were more common in schools from lower area-level SES and in countries with lower TCS scores (p<0.05).nnCONCLUSIONS: Smoking at school outdoor entrances is a source of SHS exposure in Europe. These findings support the extension of smoking bans with a clear perimeter to the outdoor entrances of schools.},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div>INTRODUCTION: Although smoking restrictions at child-related settings are progressively being adopted, school outdoor entrances are neglected in most smoke-free policies across Europe.nnOBJECTIVES: To describe secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and tobacco-related signs in outdoor entrances of primary schools in Europe according to area-level socioeconomic status (SES), smoke-free policy, national smoking prevalence, and geographical region.nnMETHODS: In this cross-sectional study we monitored vapor-phase nicotine concentrations at 220 school outdoor entrances in 11 European countries (March 2017-October 2018).

The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a physical test for individualizing the workloads used during a fitness program. To continuously individualize the intensity of the training, a test was designed and integrated into the sessions. The test consisted in monitoring heart rate and workload during 2 bouts of cycling at moderate intensity. The workload parameters recorded during the tests were later used as reference values to plan the intensity of the next in-person training sessions. The 5 tests conducted during the 12 weeks of the intervention showed significant differences in intensity (F = 3.034, p = 0.047). Compared with the first evaluation, the intensities measured during the third, fourth, and fifth tests presented increases of 9.9% (p = 0.02), 13.2% (p = 0.019), and 17.5% (p = 0.002), respectively.

To account for nicotine presence, we used the laboratory's limit of quantification of 0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m as point threshold. We also recorded the presence of smell of smoke, people smoking, cigarette butts, and ashtrays. Half of the schools were in deprived areas. We grouped countries according to their Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) score, smoking prevalence (2017-2018), and United Nations M49 geographical region.nnRESULTS: There were detectable levels of nicotine in 45.9% of the outdoor entrances, in 29.1% smell of smoke, in 43.2% people smoking, in 75.0% discarded butts, and in 14.6% ashtrays. Median nicotine concentration was below the laboratory's limit of quantification <0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m (Interquartile range:<0.06-0.119). We found higher SHS levels in countries with lower TCS scores, higher national smoking prevalence, and in the Southern and Eastern European regions.

Physical test to estimate suitable workloads for an exercise program in breast cancer survivors. J Strength Cond Res 34(12): 3593-3599, 2020-Epidemiologic studies suggest that patients with breast cancer who gain weight after diagnosis have a higher risk of recurrence and death. Regular physical exercise can help minimize postdiagnosis weight gain. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a physical test for individualizing the workloads used during a fitness program. To continuously individualize the intensity of the training, a test was designed and integrated into the sessions. The test consisted in monitoring heart rate and workload during 2 bouts of cycling at moderate intensity. The workload parameters recorded during the tests were later used as reference values to plan the intensity of the next in-person training sessions. The 5 tests conducted during the 12 weeks of the intervention showed significant differences in intensity (F = 3.034, p = 0.047). Compared with the first evaluation, the intensities measured during the third, fourth, and fifth tests presented increases of 9.9% (p = 0.02), 13.2% (p = 0.019), and 17.5% (p = 0.002), respectively. A significant increase in workload with respect to body weight was observed in the physical assessment performed after the program (t = 13.2, p = 0.0001). The peak oxygen consumption with respect to body weight (peak V[Combining Dot Above]O2) achieved by the subjects during the assessment at the end of the program had also increased (t = 9.72, p = 0.0001). The intensity test, introduced in the training sessions along with the physical exercise program, was an easy-to-use, practical tool for monitoring intensity. It allows an adjustment of the workload over the program period that respects the individual progression of each patient.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1519\/JSC.0000000000002337<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Koczkodaj P, Feliu A, Pic\u00e3o E, Sch\u00fcz J. <\/p>Youth Ambassadors for the European Code Against Cancer Initiative: A call to action<\/a>.

To account for nicotine presence, we used the laboratory's limit of quantification of 0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m as point threshold. We also recorded the presence of smell of smoke, people smoking, cigarette butts, and ashtrays. Half of the schools were in deprived areas. We grouped countries according to their Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) score, smoking prevalence (2017-2018), and United Nations M49 geographical region.nnRESULTS: There were detectable levels of nicotine in 45.9% of the outdoor entrances, in 29.1% smell of smoke, in 43.2% people smoking, in 75.0% discarded butts, and in 14.6% ashtrays. Median nicotine concentration was below the laboratory's limit of quantification <0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m (Interquartile range:<0.06-0.119).

We also recorded the presence of smell of smoke, people smoking, cigarette butts, and ashtrays. Half of the schools were in deprived areas. We grouped countries according to their Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) score, smoking prevalence (2017-2018), and United Nations M49 geographical region.nnRESULTS: There were detectable levels of nicotine in 45.9% of the outdoor entrances, in 29.1% smell of smoke, in 43.2% people smoking, in 75.0% discarded butts, and in 14.6% ashtrays.

Close<\/a><\/p><\/div>INTRODUCTION: We aimed to assess differences in breast cancer risk across benign breast disease diagnosed at prevalent or incident screens.nnMATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study with data from 629,087 women participating in a long-standing population-based breast cancer screening program in Spain. Each benign breast disease was classified as non-proliferative, proliferative without atypia, or proliferative with atypia, and whether it was diagnosed in a prevalent or incident screen. We used partly conditional Cox hazard regression to estimate the adjusted hazard ratios of the risk of breast cancer.nnRESULTS: Compared with women without benign breast disease, the risk of breast cancer was significantly higher (p-value\u00a0=\u00a00.005) in women with benign breast disease diagnosed in an incident screen (aHR, 2.67; 95%CI: 2.24-3.19) than in those with benign breast disease diagnosed in a prevalent screen (aHR, 1.87; 95%CI: 1.57-2.24). The highest risk was found in women with a proliferative benign breast disease with atypia (aHR, 4.35; 95%CI: 2.09-9.08, and 3.35; 95%CI: 1.51-7.40 for those diagnosed at incident and prevalent screens, respectively), while the lowest was found in women with non-proliferative benign breast disease (aHR, 2.39; 95%CI: 1.95-2.93, and 1.63; 95%CI: 1.32-2.02 for those diagnosed at incident and prevalent screens, respectively).nnCONCLUSION: Our study showed that the risk of breast cancer conferred by a benign breast disease differed according to type of screen (prevalent or incident). To our knowledge, this is the first study to analyse the impact of the screening type on benign breast disease prognosis.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1016\/j.breast.2020.09.005<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Amalia B, Kapoor S, Sharma R, Fu M, Fern\u00e1ndez E, Rana JS. <\/p>Online sales compliance with the electronic cigarettes ban in India: a content analysis<\/a>.

We also recorded the presence of smell of smoke, people smoking, cigarette butts, and ashtrays. Half of the schools were in deprived areas. We grouped countries according to their Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) score, smoking prevalence (2017-2018), and United Nations M49 geographical region.nnRESULTS: There were detectable levels of nicotine in 45.9% of the outdoor entrances, in 29.1% smell of smoke, in 43.2% people smoking, in 75.0% discarded butts, and in 14.6% ashtrays.

The comparative risk assessment method was used. Data on prevalence of smoking and SHS exposure were extracted from the Eurobarometer surveys, relative risks from a recent meta-analysis, and data on mortality and DALYs from breast cancer were estimated from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries and Risk Factors Study. In 2017, 82\u2009239 DALYs and 3354 deaths from breast cancer in the EU-28 could have been avoided by removing exposure to these two risk factors (smoking and SHS exposure). The proportion of DALYs from breast cancer lost respectively from smoking and SHS exposure was 2.6% and 1.0%, although geographically distributed with significant heterogeneity. These results represent the first estimates of breast cancer burden in women attributable to smoking and SHS exposure for the EU-28. It is important to increase awareness among women, health professionals and wider society of the association between smoking, SHS exposure and breast cancer, a relationship that is not widely recognised or discussed.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1002\/ijc.33021<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Henderson E, Continente X, Fern\u00e1ndez E, Tigova O, Cort\u00e9s-Francisco N, Gallus S, Lugo A, Semple S, O'Donnell R, Clancy L, Keogan S, Ruprecht A, Borgini A, Tzortzi A, Vyzikidou VK, Gorini G, L\u00f3pez-Nicol\u00e1s A, Soriano JB, Geshanova G, Osman J, Mons U, Przewozniak K, Precioso J, Brad R, L\u00f3pez MJ, project TackSHS Investigators. <\/p>Secondhand smoke exposure and other signs of tobacco consumption at outdoor entrances of primary schools in 11 European countries<\/a>.

There were some exceptions however: first, citations received by articles published in first-quartile journals decreased immediately after retraction (p<0.05), only to increase again after some time had elapsed; and second, postretraction citations decreased significantly in the case of articles that had received many citations before their retraction (p<0.05).nnCONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that retraction of articles has no association on citations in the long term, since the retracted articles continue to be cited, thus circumventing their retraction.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1136\/bmjgh-2020-003719<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Carreras G, Lachi A, Boffi R, Clancy L, Gallus S, Fern\u00e1ndez E, L\u00f3pez MJ, Soriano JB, L\u00f3pez Nicol\u00e1s \u00c1, Semple S, Behrakis P, Gorini G, TackSHS Project Investigators. <\/p>Burden of disease from breast cancer attributable to smoking and second-hand smoke exposure in Europe<\/a>.

Results were broken down by journal quartile according to impact factor and the most cited papers during the preretraction period were specifically analysed.nnRESULTS: There was an increase in postretraction citations when compared with citations received preretraction. There were some exceptions however: first, citations received by articles published in first-quartile journals decreased immediately after retraction (p<0.05), only to increase again after some time had elapsed; and second, postretraction citations decreased significantly in the case of articles that had received many citations before their retraction (p<0.05).nnCONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that retraction of articles has no association on citations in the long term, since the retracted articles continue to be cited, thus circumventing their retraction.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1136\/bmjgh-2020-003719<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Carreras G, Lachi A, Boffi R, Clancy L, Gallus S, Fern\u00e1ndez E, L\u00f3pez MJ, Soriano JB, L\u00f3pez Nicol\u00e1s \u00c1, Semple S, Behrakis P, Gorini G, TackSHS Project Investigators. <\/p>Burden of disease from breast cancer attributable to smoking and second-hand smoke exposure in Europe<\/a>.

There were some exceptions however: first, citations received by articles published in first-quartile journals decreased immediately after retraction (p<0.05), only to increase again after some time had elapsed; and second, postretraction citations decreased significantly in the case of articles that had received many citations before their retraction (p<0.05).nnCONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that retraction of articles has no association on citations in the long term, since the retracted articles continue to be cited, thus circumventing their retraction.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1136\/bmjgh-2020-003719<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Carreras G, Lachi A, Boffi R, Clancy L, Gallus S, Fern\u00e1ndez E, L\u00f3pez MJ, Soriano JB, L\u00f3pez Nicol\u00e1s \u00c1, Semple S, Behrakis P, Gorini G, TackSHS Project Investigators. <\/p>Burden of disease from breast cancer attributable to smoking and second-hand smoke exposure in Europe<\/a>.

Close<\/a><\/p><\/div>BACKGROUND: Retracted articles continue to be cited after retraction, and this could have consequences for the scientific community and general population alike. This study was conducted to analyse the association of retraction on citations received by retracted papers due to misconduct using two-time frames: during a postretraction period equivalent to the time the article had been in print before retraction; and during the total postretraction period.nnMETHODS: Quasiexperimental, pre-post evaluation study. A total of 304 retracted original articles and literature reviews indexed in MEDLINE fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Articles were required to have been published in a journal indexed in MEDLINE from January 2013 through December 2015 and been retracted between January 2014 and December 2016. The main outcome was the number of citations received before and after retraction. Results were broken down by journal quartile according to impact factor and the most cited papers during the preretraction period were specifically analysed.nnRESULTS: There was an increase in postretraction citations when compared with citations received preretraction. There were some exceptions however: first, citations received by articles published in first-quartile journals decreased immediately after retraction (p<0.05), only to increase again after some time had elapsed; and second, postretraction citations decreased significantly in the case of articles that had received many citations before their retraction (p<0.05).nnCONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that retraction of articles has no association on citations in the long term, since the retracted articles continue to be cited, thus circumventing their retraction.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1136\/bmjgh-2020-003719<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Carreras G, Lachi A, Boffi R, Clancy L, Gallus S, Fern\u00e1ndez E, L\u00f3pez MJ, Soriano JB, L\u00f3pez Nicol\u00e1s \u00c1, Semple S, Behrakis P, Gorini G, TackSHS Project Investigators. <\/p>Burden of disease from breast cancer attributable to smoking and second-hand smoke exposure in Europe<\/a>.

Median nicotine concentration was below the laboratory's limit of quantification <0.06\u00a0\u03bcg\/m (Interquartile range:<0.06-0.119). We found higher SHS levels in countries with lower TCS scores, higher national smoking prevalence, and in the Southern and Eastern European regions. People smoking were more common in schools from lower area-level SES and in countries with lower TCS scores (p<0.05).nnCONCLUSIONS: Smoking at school outdoor entrances is a source of SHS exposure in Europe. These findings support the extension of smoking bans with a clear perimeter to the outdoor entrances of schools.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2020.140743<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Mart\u00ednez C, Feliu A, Castellano Y, Fu M, Fern\u00e1ndez P, Cabrera-Jaime S, Puig-Llobet M, Galimany J, Guydish J, Fern\u00e1ndez E, ETHIF Research Group. <\/p>Factors associated with receipt of the 5As model of brief intervention for smoking cessation among hospitalized patients<\/a>.
