The effects of particulate matter <10 µm in diameter (PM<sub>10</sub>) and other air pollutants on lung function were assessed 975 schoolchildren, from eight communities Lower Austria between 1994–1997. In each community, pollution data collected. Spirometry was performed twice a year. PM<sub>10</sub> concentration (mean two subsequent lung-function measures spring autumn (summer interval) or (winter interval)) showed mean value 17.36 µg·m<sup>−3</sup> the summer interval 21.03 winter...
We followed a cohort of 1,150 children for 3 yr to investigate long-term effects ambient ozone. Nine study sites were selected on the basis air-quality data represent broad range ozone exposure. In 1994, 1995, and 1996 lung function was recorded biannually, always before after summertime. The effect analyzed with regression analyses study-site, child's sex, atopy, passive smoking, baseline function, increase in height considered as confounding variables. A negative summertime pre-...
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is the most important mosquito-borne viral and has a high case fatality rate. It caused by virus. Improved vaccines are urgently needed for residents in countries of endemicity, travelers, military. The aim present trial was to evaluate safety tolerability IC51, Intercell's Vero cell-derived, purified, inactivated JE vaccine.This randomized (3:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter phase 3 trial. Healthy subjects were receive 2 doses IC51 (n=2012) or...
Summary Background There is growing evidence that the development of allergic sensitization can be influenced by environmental co‐factors. Studies showed up on a farm protect children against sensitization. However, little known whether this ‘farming effect’ only observed in early lifetime or it also plays role later childhood. Objective The aim our study was to test farming environment negatively associated with new occurrence skin prick (SPT) positivity school children. As secondary...
Background Eosinophil activation is characteristic for allergic airways disease. However, eosinophilic inflammation has also been observed subsequent to ambient ozone exposure. Methods For a population sample of 877 children living at nine sites with different exposure we measured urinary eosinophil protein X (U‐EPX) as marker activation. U‐EPX was determined from single spot urine during autumn 1997. Children were participants in longitudinal study effects on lung function. Results The...
Six normal adult subjects were studied during all stages of sleep for a total 14 nights to determine whether nystagmus could be elicited by vestibular stimulation, particularly the rapid eye movement (REM) stage. Perrotatory stimulation was induced means constant angle torsion swing. At no time REM evoked stimulation. In addition, clear nystagmic responses non-REM 2, 3, and 4. sleep, rotation swing always produced slow, compensatory conjugate movements. With onset rotational stage, bursts...
