Traffic noise has been associated with prevalence of hypertension, but reports are inconsistent for blood pressure (BP). To ascertain effects and to disentangle them from those suspected be traffic-related air pollution, it may essential estimate people's exposure indoors in bedrooms.We analyzed associations between long-term indoor traffic bedrooms prevalent hypertension systolic (SBP) diastolic (DBP) BP, considering outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2).We evaluated 1,926 cohort participants at...

Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution may increase blood pressure (BP) and induce hypertension. However, evidence supporting these associations is limited, they be confounded by traffic noise biased due inappropriate control for use of BP-lowering medications.We evaluated the long-term with BP prevalent hypertension, adjusting transportation assessing different methodologies measured systolic (SBP) diastolic (DBP) at baseline (years 2003-2005) in 3,700 participants, 35-83 years...

Land-use regression (LUR) models are increasingly used to estimate air pollution exposure in epidemiologic studies. These use measurements taken at a small set of locations and modeling based on geographical covariates for which data available all study participant locations. The process LUR model development commonly includes variable selection procedure. When predictions as explanatory variables health outcome, measurement error can lead bias the coefficients inflation their variance. In...

<h3>Objective</h3> We evaluated the short-term effects of exposure to cleaning products on lung function and respiratory symptoms among professional women. <h3>Methods</h3> Twenty-one women with current asthma employed as cleaners participated in a 15-day panel study. During 312 person-days data collection, participants self-reported their use daily diaries recorded forced expiratory volume 1 s (FEV<sub>1</sub>) peak flow (PEF) three times per day using handheld spirometer. associations...

Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are alternatives to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in most cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) patients.This study sought compare the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban LMWH for venous thromboembolism (VTE) treatment patients with an active cancer type not associated a high risk DOAC bleeding.An analysis electronic health records from January 2012 December 2020 was performed. Patients were adults, had cancer, experienced index CAT event,...

This retrospective study, utilizing U.S. electronic health record (EHR) data from January 2013 to December 2020, sought assess whether rivaroxaban and apixaban had similar effectiveness safety in the treatment of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients with a cancer type not associated high risk bleeding. We included adults diagnosed active cancer, excluding esophageal, gastric, unresected colorectal, bladder, noncerebral central nervous system cancers leukemia, who...

Exposure to highly elevated levels of cortisol has been linked with impairments in cognitive capacities both children and adults. By contrast, moderate may engender beneficial effects. The main aim this study was assess the association between child neuropsychological development during second year life. A population-based birth cohort established city Sabadell (Catalonia, Spain) as part INMA (Environment Childhood) Project. We assessed psychomotor at age 14 months using Bayley Scales Infant...

Indoor pollution is a real threat to human health all over the world. derives from indoor sources (e.g. smoking, gas stoves, coated furniture) as well outdoor industries, vehicles). Long-term monitoring measurements in environments are missing large extent due lack of simple operate measuring devices. Mosses proved biomonitors hundreds studies. Nevertheless, use has been extremely scarce. Therefore, this study aimed determine and by active biomonitoring using moss NO2 samplers analyse levels...

Abstract Background Treating cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (CAT) with anticoagulation prevents recurrent (rVTE), but increases bleeding risk. Objectives To compare incidence of rVTE, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality for rivaroxaban versus low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in patients CAT. Methods We developed a cohort study using Swedish national registers 2013–2019. Patients CAT (venous within 6 months cancer diagnosis) were included. Those other indications or high risk...
