Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and risk of lung cancer - A comparative analysis of incidence and mortality in four administrative cohorts in the ELAPSE study.
Environ Res
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * Using advanced statistical models, researchers analyzed data over a significant follow-up period, revealing that lung cancer incidence was positively linked to fine particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and black carbon (BC), while showing a negative association with ozone (O) which flipped after adjusting for NO.
- * The results indicated that the increased risk of lung cancer incidence was nearly as strong as that for mortality, with both associations remaining significant even at lower pollution levels, suggesting that air quality should be a crucial public health consideration.
Background: This study evaluates a specific breast augmentation (BA) technique in patients with pectus excavatum(PE) and its results in improving this deformity, augmenting the breasts, and correcting the concurrent breast asymmetry.
Methods: Twenty-eight patients with PE were treated from 2017 to 2021. All patients who visited our private practice were aiming to augment their breasts, correct their breast asymmetry, and improve their PE.
Despite the known link between air pollution and cause-specific mortality, its relation to chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated mortality is understudied. Therefore, we investigated the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and CKD-related mortality in a large multicentre population-based European cohort. Cohort data were linked to local mortality registry data.

The greatest issue concerning pyoderma gangrenosum is its diagnosis. Almost invariably, it is misdiagnosed as a wound infection, which results in delayed identification, lengthy antibiotic regimens, and ineffective detrimental surgical debridements, causing significant patient disfigurement.

Gastric and upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers are common and increased risk has been associated with smoking and occupational exposures. However, the association with air pollution remains unclear.
