Biological and genetic interaction between Tenascin C and Neuropeptide S receptor 1 in allergic diseases (2008)

Orsmark-Pietras, Christina, Melén, Erik, Vendelin, Johanna, Bruce, Sara, Laitinen, Annika, Laitinen, Lauri A., ...

Neuropeptide S receptor 1 (NPSR1, GPRA 154, GPRA) has been verified as a susceptibility gene for asthma and related phenotypes. The ligand for NPSR1, Neuropeptide S (NPS), activates signalling...

DNA variants, plasma levels and variability of C-reactive protein in myocardial infarction survivors: results from the AIRGENE study (2008)

Kolz, Melanie, Koenig, Wolfgang, Müller, Martina, Andreani, Mariarita, Greven, Sonja, Illig, Thomas, ...

Aims C-reactive protein represents the classical acute-phase protein produced in the liver in response to inflammatory stimuli. This study evaluated the association of gene polymorphisms with...

Acute effects of night-time noise exposure on blood pressure in populations living near airports (2008)

Haralabidis, Alexandros S., Dimakopoulou, Konstantina, Vigna-Taglianti, Federica, Giampaolo, Matteo, Borgini, Alessandro, Dudley, Marie-Louise, ...

Aims Within the framework of the HYENA (hypertension and exposure to noise near airports) project we investigated the effect of short-term changes of transportation or indoor noise levels on blood...

Dietary fruit and vegetables protect against somatic mutation in vivo, but low or high intake of carotenoids does not (2003)

Nyberg, Fredrik, Hou, Sai-Mei, Pershagen, Göran, Lambert, Bo

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated protective effects of vegetables and fruit on risk of cancer, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Intervention studies have in some cases contradicted...

Low-Dose Exposure to Asbestos and Lung Cancer: Dose-Response Relations and Interaction with Smoking in a Population-based Case-Referent Study in Stockholm, Sweden (2002)

Gustavsson, Per, Nyberg, Fredrik, Pershagen, Göran, Schéele, Patrik, Jakobsson, Robert, Plato, Nils

This population-based case-referent study investigated the lung cancer risk associated with occupational exposure to asbestos, focusing on dose-response relations and the interaction with tobacco...

Occupational Exposure and Lung Cancer Risk: A Population-based Case-Referent Study in Sweden (2000)

Gustavsson, Per, Jakobsson, Robert, Nyberg, Fredrik, Pershagen, Göran, Järup, Lars, Schéele, Patrik

This case-referent study investigated the lung cancer risk from occupational exposure to diesel exhaust, mixed motor exhaust, other combustion products, asbestos, metals, oil mist, and welding fumes....

Cigar and Pipe Smoking and Lung Cancer Risk: a Multicenter Study From Europe (1999)

Boffetta, Paolo, Pershagen, Göran, Jöckel, Karl-Heinz, Forastiere, Francesco, Gaborieau, Valerie, Heinrich, Joachim, ...

BACKGROUND: Because limited information is available on the quantitative association between consumption of tobacco products other than cigarettes and lung cancer risk, we undertook a case-control...

Hprt mutant frequency and aromatic DNA adduct level in non-smoking and smoking lung cancer patients and population controls (1999)

Hou, Sai-Mei, Yang, Ke, Nyberg, Fredrik, Hemminki, Kari, Pershagen, Göran, Lambert, Bo

T cell cloning and 32P-post-labelling methods were used to study the mutant frequency (MF) at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) locus and the aromatic DNA adduct level (AL)...

Parallel Analyses of Individual and Ecologic Data on Residential Radon, Cofactors, and Lung Cancer in Sweden (1999)

Lagarde, Frédéric, Pershagen, Göran

Divergent results from ecologic and analytic studies on residential radon and lung cancer have created uncertainty in terms of risk assessment. The authors performed concurrent analyses on individual...

Smokeless tobacco (1996)

Pershagen, Göran

Smokeless tobacco practices are common in some parts of the world and the use seems to be increasing. Nicotine exposure is similar in smokeless tobacco users and smokers, often leading to strong...

ERRATUM (1992)

Järup, Lars, Pershagen, Göran

We have discovered an error in our article on arsenic exposure, smoking, and lung cancer in smelter workers (1). Because of a computational error, table 4 on page 549 of our article is not valid....
