Genetic studies of candidate genes in eczema
(2008-01-11)
Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disorder characterised by itching and relapsing eczematous lesions. It usually presents in early childhood and affects about 10-20% of all children. The background is multifactorial, ...
Cardiovascular and respiratory effects of air pollution : application of different observational study designs and analysis approaches
(2017-05-12)
The effect of air pollution exposure on human health has been a topic of an increasing volume of research over the past half century. Due to the ubiquitous nature of ambient air pollution exposure and the comparatively ...
Long-term exposure to air pollution from road traffic and lung function in children and adolescents
(2016-11-10)
Lung function in early life is an important predictor of peak lung function and later decline in adults. However, lung development may also be influenced by factors later in childhood and adolescence. Identification of ...
Molecular signatures of early life exposures and complex diseases : applications using epigenetics and transcriptomics data
(2022-10-24)
Environmental exposures and early life stressors may influence developmental processes and have long-term health consequences, potentially mediated by molecular mechanisms such as epigenetic modifications. The most extensively ...
Interaction of genetic and environmental factors in childhood asthma and allergy
(2017-04-07)
Asthma and allergy are the most common chronic childhood diseases. Their occurrences are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The overall aim ...
Long-term exposure to air pollution from road traffic and cardiovascular disease with a focus on exposure modeling
(2015-11-20)
Air pollution is an important environmental health factor contributing to the burden of disease. From a public health point of view cardiovascular effects of long-term exposure are predominant, primarily coronary events ...
