TL;DR: The high prevalence of mutations causing protein truncations confirms that loss of function is the major cause of the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune biomarkers in relation to exposure to particulate matter: a cross-sectional survey in 17 cities of Central Europe.
Giovanni Leonardi,D Houthuijs,P. A. Steerenberg,Tony Fletcher,Ben Armstrong,T Antova,I. Lochman,A. Lochmanova,P. Rudnai,E. Erdei,J. Musial,B. Jazwiec-Kanyion,E. M. Niciu,S. Durbaca,E. Fabiánová,Kvetoslava Koppova,Erik Lebret,Bert Brunekreef,H. van Loveren +18 more
TL;DR: It is found that long-term exposure to airborne particulates leads to inflammation of the airways and activation of the cellular and humoral immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate change on indirect human exposure to pathogens and chemicals from agriculture.
Alistair B.A. Boxall,Anthony Hardy,Sabine Beulke,Tatiana Boucard,Laura Burgin,Pete Falloon,Philip M. Haygarth,Thomas H. Hutchinson,R. Sari Kovats,Giovanni Leonardi,Leonard S. Levy,Gordon Nichols,Simon A Parsons,Laura Potts,David A. Stone,Edward Topp,David B. Turley,Kerry Walsh,Elizabeth M. H. Wellington,Richard J. Williams +19 more
TL;DR: Overall, climate change is likely to increase human exposures to agricultural contaminants, and the magnitude of the increases will be highly dependent on the contaminant type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) concentrations and liver function biomarkers in a population with elevated PFOA exposure
Valentina Gallo,Giovanni Leonardi,Bernd Genser,Maria-Jose Lopez-Espinosa,Stephanie J. Frisbee,Lee Karlsson,Alan M. Ducatman,Tony Fletcher +7 more
TL;DR: A positive association between PFOA and PFOS concentrations and serum ALT level, a marker of hepatocellular damage is shown, and the relationship with bilirubin appears to rise at low levels of PFO a and to fall again at higher levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) with age of puberty among children living near a chemical plant.
Maria-Jose Lopez-Espinosa,Tony Fletcher,Ben Armstrong,Bernd Genser,Bernd Genser,Ketan Dhatariya,Debapriya Mondal,Alan M. Ducatman,Giovanni Leonardi +8 more
TL;DR: A cross-sectional study to investigate whether perfluorooctanoic acid and PFOS were associated with indicators of sexual maturation in a 2005-2006 survey of residents with PFOA water contamination from the Mid-Ohio Valley showed a later age of puberty in this population correlated with PFC concentrations.
