Background: Few studies have investigated effects of air pollution on the incidence cerebrovascular events.Objectives: We assessed association between long-term exposure to multiple pollutants and stroke in European cohorts.Methods: Data from 11 cohorts were collected, occurrence a first was evaluated. Individual exposures predicted land-use regression models developed within Study Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE). The were: PM2.5 [particulate matter (PM) ≤ 2.5 μm diameter], coarse...
Air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality, but it remains unclear as to whether specific pollutants are related causes of death. Within the multicenter European Study Cohorts for Pollution Effects (ESCAPE), we investigated associations long-term exposure several air all disease (CVD) well
We investigated whether traffic-related air pollution and noise are associated with incident hypertension in European cohorts. included seven cohorts of the study for effects (ESCAPE). modelled concentrations particulate matter aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5), ≤10 (PM10), >2.5, (PMcoarse), soot (PM2.5 absorbance), nitrogen oxides at addresses participants land use regression. Residential exposure to traffic was facade according EU Directive 2002/49/EC. assessed as (i) self-reported (ii)...
Dioxin exposure has experimentally been associated with changes in DNA methylation, an epigenetic change that is disease. The present study aims to investigate if serum levels of dioxin and other persistent environmental pollutants are related global methylation a human sample. In the population-based Prospective Investigation Vasculature Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS) (all aged 70), was measured by Luminometric Methylation Assay 524 subjects. Twenty-three different POPs, including 16 PCBs, five...
BackgroundExposure to particulate matter air pollution (PM) has been associated with cardiovascular diseases.ObjectivesIn this study we evaluated whether annual exposure ambient is systemic inflammation, which hypothesized be an intermediate step disease.MethodsSix cohorts of adults from Central and Northern Europe were used in cross-sectional as part the larger ESCAPE project (European Study Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects). Data on levels blood markers inflammation—high-sensitivity...
Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality but little is known about the role of chemical composition PM. This study examined association residential long-term PM components incident coronary events.Eleven cohorts from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Italy participated in this analysis. 5,157 events were identified within 100,166 persons followed on average for 11.5 years. concentrations < 10 μm (PM10), 2.5...
One of the major transmission routes for foodborne bacterial pathogen Campylobacter is undercooked poultry meat, contaminated from intestinal contents during processing. In broilers, can grow to very high densities in caeca, and often considered be a commensal or an opportunistic poultry. Reduction caecal loads may assist lowering incidence rates food poisoning. To achieve this, there needs better understanding dynamics colonization its natural niche, effect local microbiome on colonization....
Abstract Background Environmental cleaning of near-patient surfaces in animal healthcare is an important infection prevention and control measure to lower the risk spread healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). There a lack reports on effect hospital wards. The aims this study were (1) determine bacterial load before cleaning, dog cages mixed medical surgical ward investigate factors associated with (2) compare reduction these after (a) scrubbing brush detergent rinsing (b) microfibre mop...
The principal aim of this study was to analyse the incidence disease due general and more specific causes among over 100,000 horses covered by complete insurance for veterinary care a Swedish company during 1997 2000. database used calculate rate cause‐specific morbidity in different ages, sexes breed groups kept regions with human population densities. joints were most commonly affected part body, followed unspecified/whole skin digestive system. common diagnosis fetlock arthritis, lameness...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential usefulness database maintained by Swedish insurance company Agria for providing mortality statistics on horses. Mortality (incidence rates and survival) were calculated, both crudely stratified sex, age, breed, breed group diagnosis, horses with complete life insurance, which covers most health problems. total 415 (95 per cent confidence interval [ CI ] 399 432) deaths 10,000 horse‐years at risk, diagnostic mortality, including only an...
