While short-term occupational exposures to many agents are associated with increased risk of asthma, the long-term consequences exposure have not been well understood. We investigated effects over two decades on incidence asthma. This population-based, multicentre cohort was assessed at baseline (European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS)1) and followed up twice 20 years (ECRHS2 ECRHS3). analysis included data for 5591 participants complete work histories free asthma baseline....
Abstract Background There is insufficient knowledge about the systemic health effects of exposure to fine (PM 2.5 ) and ultrafine particles emitted from typical indoor sources, including cooking candlelight burning. We examined whether short-term emissions burning candles cause inflammatory changes in young individuals with mild asthma. Thirty-six non-smoking asthmatics participated a randomized controlled double-blind crossover study attending three sessions (mean PM µg/m 3 ; polycyclic...
Particulate matter is linked to adverse health effects, however, little known about effects of particles emitted from typical indoor sources. We examined acute short-term exposure emissions cooking and candles among asthmatics. In a randomized controlled double-blinded crossover study, 36 young non-smoking asthmatics attended three sessions lasting 5 h: (a) air mixed with (fine particle mass concentration): (PM2.5 : 96.1 μg/m3 ), (b) 89.8 c) clean filtered 5.8 ). Health (spirometry,...
Objective To estimate costs attributable to robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) as compared with open (OP) and prostatectomies (LP) in a National Health Service perspective. Patients methods Register-based cohort study of 4309 consecutive patients who underwent from 2006 2013 (2241 RALP, 1818 OP 250 LP). were followed 12 months before after respect service use primary care (general practitioners, therapists, specialists etc) hospitals (inpatient outpatient activity related...
Background: E-cigarette use has been shown to have short-term acute effects among active users but less is known of the passive effects, particularly individuals with existing respiratory diseases. Objective: To investigate local and systemic vape exposure patients mild or moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: In a double-blinded crossover study 16 non-smoking COPD-patients (mean age 68) were randomly exposed for 4 h (median PM2.5: 18 µg/m3 (range: 8-333)) clean air...
Context: Low health literacy (HL) is a public issue, with impacts on population and illness, however there are few tools for collecting data in large populations.Objective: To develop method of deriving indicative functional HL levels from routinely collected socio-demographic data. Method:We investigated which variables would best depict whether an individual above or below constructed competency threshold.Weighted logistic regression was used to estimate Odd Ratios being the Receiver...

<b>Background:</b> E-cigarette use is dramatically increasing and often permitted in smoke-free areas causing passive vape exposure. Little known about potential adverse health effects of people with respiratory diseases may be more susceptible. Our aim was to investigate local systemic short-term exposure among patients mild or moderate COPD. <b>Methods:</b> In a randomised double-blinded crossover study non-smoking COPD were exposed for four hours at two different conditions separated by...
<b>Background:</b> The use of e-cigarettes continues to grow worldwide. assumption that are less harmful than cigarettes has not been properly researched. In particular, studies on passive vaping by sensitive subgroups the population virtually non-existent. aim present study was investigate whether patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience adverse effects short-term exposure e-cigarette vape. Here we results preliminary statistical analyses performed before...
Background and Aim: Very few studies of the effect air pollution on national mortality exist. Even fewer have investigated non-communicable disease (NCD) in total population. Thus, this study aims to elucidate burden morbidity unselected Methods: The cohort consisted all individuals age 50 years or older who were alive resided Denmark their 50th birthday 1st January 2004, whichever came later (entry date) (N=2,872,957). All hospital contacts for cancer, type 2 diabetes, asthma, Chronic...
