Is chronic cigarette smoking associated with increased plasma circulating intercellular adhesion molecule 1 levels in young type 1 diabetic patients?
Chronic cigarette smoking has a deleterious effect on plasma cICAM-1 levels in young type 1 diabetic patients, which further supports the clinical importance of discouraging the initiation of smoking and promoting its cessation in people with type 1 diabetes.
Our findings do not support a causal link between brain swelling and eSG elevation. The eSG increase in severe TBI patients is not due to brain swelling.
