No Smoking Day is held annually on the third Thursday of November with the aim of encouraging all smokers to quit this addiction., to reduce the risk of developing cancer.

Today tobacco is the most widespread and proven human carcinogen.. Tobacco smoke contains more 4 thousands of chemical compounds, of which 43 are known carcinogens, Besides, there are compounds in tobacco smoke, which contribute to the formation of carcinogens in the body, as well as dozens of poisons, including nicotine, hydrocyanic acid, etc.. Cigarette smoke contains radioactive substances: polonium, lead, bismuth.

Tobacco smoke contains up to 1 000 poisons, the main ones are nicotine, hydrocyanic acid, methanol, tar, methane, butanol, ammonia, acetone. Moreover, cigarettes with a filter and without a filter are equally dangerous., light and strong.

The temperature of the smoldering tobacco is 300^OFROM, and during tightening it increases to 900-1 000^OFROM. This is a thermal effect, repeated repetition leads to cancer. First of all, to lung cancer (more 90 % inhaled nicotine is absorbed in the tissues of the lungs), lip cancer, larynx, esophagus. Tobacco smoke is a powerful stimulant of the tumor formation process..

Smoking causes a number of diseases, the most important of which are: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, manifested by a steady loss of their function, cardiovascular diseases (ischemic heart disease and arteriosclerosis of peripheral vessels) and cerebrovascular accidents (strokes).

Diaskintest® (recombinant tuberculous allergen in standard dilution) - innovative intradermal diagnostic test, which is a recombinant protein, containing two related antigens - ESAT6 and CFP10, typical for pathogenic strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)^[1]. These antigens are absent in the Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strain and in most non-tuberculous mycobacteria, therefore Diaskintest® induces an immune response only to mycobacterium tuberculosis and does not give a reaction, associated with BCG vaccination. Thanks to these qualities, Diaskintest® has practically 100% sensitivity and specificity^[2], minimizing the likelihood of developing false positive reactions, which in 40-60% of cases are observed when using the traditional intradermal tuberculin test (Mantoux test)^[3]. The technique of setting Diaskintest and recording the results is identical to the Mantoux test with tuberculin^[4]. Read completely »

Tuberculosis is an infection, which most often causes death of people, living with HIV and having low immune status. HIV and TB are so closely intertwined, that they are often called epidemic within epidemic. These diseases promote mutual development and reinforce each other..

The link between HIV and tuberculosis

The causative agent of tuberculosis is Koch's bacillus (or mycobacterium tuberculosis). Mycobacterium tuberculosis is transmitted from a sick person to a healthy airborne droplet. Worth noting, that mycobacterium lives in the body in 1/3 world population. In people with a high level of immune status, tuberculosis does not manifest itself in any way throughout life.. The disease develops then, when immunity weakens. All HIV-positive people sooner or later (on average through 5-15 years after infection) immunity begins to decline. Read completely »
