Effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on natural-cause mortality : An analysis of 22 European cohorts within the multicentre ESCAPE project

Rob Beelen, +92 more
- 01 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between natural-cause mortality and long-term exposure to several air pollutants, such as PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, and NOx.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult lung function and long-term air pollution exposure. ESCAPE: a multicentre cohort study and meta-analysis

Martin Adam, +55 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is observed that a 10 μg·m−3 increase in NO2 exposure was associated with lower levels of FEV1, and this study adds to the evidence for an adverse association of ambient air pollution with lung function in adults at very low levels in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

A functional genetic variation of adenosine deaminase affects the duration and intensity of deep sleep in humans

Julia Retey, +7 more
- 25 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is shown in humans that a genetic variant of adenosine deaminase, which is associated with the reduced metabolism ofAdenosine to inosine, specifically enhances deep sleep and slow-wave activity during sleep and SWA during sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genetic variation in the adenosine A2A receptor gene (ADORA2A) contributes to individual sensitivity to caffeine effects on sleep.

Julia Retey, +6 more
- 01 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is shown in humans that habitual caffeine consumption is associated with reduced sleep quality in self‐rated caffeine‐sensitive individuals, but not in caffeine‐insensitive individuals, and a common variation in ADORA2A contributes to subjective and objective responses to caffeine on sleep.
