The visual impairment generally presents as a centrocecal scotoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Workup included negative imaging and normal B12, folate and thiamine levels, undetectable cyanide levels, and negative Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy mutation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Despite these similarities, treatments for diabetes are well covered by insurance, whereas tobacco dependence treatments are often limited. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In addition, germline variants play a crucial role in susceptibility, prognosis, development, and progression of the disease. These prompted us to study the genetic susceptibility to oral squamous cell carcinoma among the long-term tobacco-chewers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
1084; DOI:10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-18-2505 These findings uncover a novel mechanism by which mitomiRNA regulates mitochondrial transcription and provide rationale for use of mitomiRNA and mtDNAencoded genes to predict chemosensitivity and patient clinical prognosis [intl-cancerres.aacrjournals.org]
In addition, smokers who have cancer and who continue smoking during treatment decrease treatment effectiveness, overall survival prognosis, and quality of life and increase the risk for having another malignancy or comorbid condition ( 9 ). [cdc.gov]
Etiology
The distinct etiology of eosinophilic pneumonia is unknown, although the previous case series have indicated a relationship between acute eosinophilic pneumonia and the exposure to exogenous substances including the constituents of cigarettes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Teague in his confidential 1953 ‘Survey of Cancer Research’, written for upper management at RJ Reynolds, makers of Camel cigarettes, concluded that the parallel rise in cigarette use and cancer had led to the suspicion that tobacco was ‘an important etiologic [doi.org]

The implementation of appropriate preventive measures would require information about the prevalence and determinants of tobacco use. Data on tobacco consumption among adolescents in the North Center of Morocco are scarce. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Health information and intelligence platform Tobacco use is one of the world's leading preventable causes of death and is a major preventable risk factor of noncommunicable diseases like cancer, lung and heart diseases. [wpro.who.int]
