   Intermittency ratio: a metric reflecting short-term temporal variations of transportation noise exposure

   Relevance:

   Most environmental epidemiology studies model health effects of noise by regressing on acoustic exposure metrics that are based on the concept of average energetic dose over longer time periods (i.e.

2. Passive Smoking Exposure in Adults and Chronic Respiratory Symptoms (SAPALDIA study) (Authors' response) (Publications)

3. Common variants in Mendelian kidney disease genes and their association with renal function (Publications)

   Common variants in Mendelian kidney disease genes and their association with renal function

   Relevance:

   Many common genetic variants identified by genome-wide association studies for complex traits map to genes previously linked to rare inherited Mendelian disorders. A systematic analysis of common sing

4. Early detection of subjects at risk for vascular remodelling - results from the Swiss population-based study SAPALDIA (Publications)

   Early detection of subjects at risk for vascular remodelling - results from the Swiss population-based study SAPALDIA

   Relevance:

   QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY: As the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases globally, its prevention and risk assessment becomes ever more important. We thus investigated the longitudinal associati

5. Common genes underlying asthma and COPD? Genome-wide analysis on the Dutch hypothesis (Publications)

   Common genes underlying asthma and COPD? Genome-wide analysis on the Dutch hypothesis

   Relevance:

   Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are thought to share a genetic background ("Dutch hypothesis"). We investigated whether asthma and COPD have common underlying genetic factors,

7. Modeling indoor air pollution of outdoor origin in homes of SAPALDIA subjects in Switzerland (Publications)

   Modeling indoor air pollution of outdoor origin in homes of SAPALDIA subjects in Switzerland

   Relevance:

   Given the shrinking spatial contrasts in outdoor air pollution in Switzerland and the trends toward tightly insulated buildings, the Swiss Cohort Study on Air Pollution and Lung and Heart Diseases in

8. Human leukocyte antigen class II variants and adult-onset asthma: does occupational allergen exposure play a role? (Publications)

   Human leukocyte antigen class II variants and adult-onset asthma: does occupational allergen exposure play a role?

   Relevance:

   Recently, a locus centred on rs9273349 in the HLA-DQ region emerged from genome-wide association studies of adult-onset asthma. We aimed to further investigate the role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA

10. Interaction between gas cooking and GSTM1 null genotype in bronchial responsiveness: results from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (Publications)

    Interaction between gas cooking and GSTM1 null genotype in bronchial responsiveness: results from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey

    Relevance:

    BACKGROUND: Increased bronchial responsiveness is characteristic of asthma. Gas cooking, which is a major indoor source of the highly oxidant nitrogen dioxide, has been associated with respiratory sym
