Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury and the risk of coronary heart disease in men.
Kazuko Yoshizawa,Eric B. Rimm,J. Steven Morris,V. L. Spate,Chung-Cheng Hsieh,Donna Spiegelman,Meir J. Stampfer,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: The findings do not support an association between total mercury exposure and the risk of coronary heart disease, but a weak relation cannot be ruled out.
Journal Article
Toenail trace element levels as biomarkers: reproducibility over a 6-year period.
Miriam Garland,J. S. Morris,Bernard Rosner,Meir J. Stampfer,V. L. Spate,C J Baskett,Walter C. Willett,David J. Hunter +7 more
TL;DR: Toenail concentrations of certain trace elements are useful biomarkers of exposure in epidemiological studies of cancer and other chronic disease in which a single sample is assumed to represent long-term exposure, however, substantial attenuation in measures of association may occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective Study of Toenail Selenium Levels and Cancer Among Women
Miriam Garland,J. S. Morris,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,V. L. Spate,C. K. Baskett,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett,David J. Hunter +9 more
TL;DR: Toenail selenium level was not inversely associated with cancer at any major site, including uterine cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, or lung cancer (after adjusting for smoking); in fact, nonsignificant positive associations were observed at several sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of Low Levels of Arsenic Exposure: A Comparison of Water and Toenail Concentrations
Margaret R. Karagas,Tor D. Tosteson,Joel D. Blum,Bjoern Klaue,Julia E. Weiss,Virginia Stannard,V. L. Spate,J. Steven Morris +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that toenail samples provide a useful biologic marker for quantifying low-level arsenic exposure and should be considered for use in the evaluation of drinking water arsenic exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 1-y trial of the effect of high-selenium bread on selenium concentrations in blood and toenails.
Matthew P. Longnecker,Meir J. Stampfer,J. S. Morris,V. L. Spate,C. K. Baskett,Mark Mason,Walter C. Willett +6 more
TL;DR: Toenail selenium concentration appeared to provide a time-integrated measure of intake over a period of 26-52 wk and may be an alternative to blood when a measure of long-term average intake is desired.
