Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the impact of various air pollutants on metabolic changes in a large group of 1,096 women over the age of 65, utilizing blood samples collected between 1998 and 2001.
  • Significant associations were found between air pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide and 95 metabolites involved in processes like oxidative stress and inflammation, with 60 metabolites showing strong evidence linking them to air pollution.
  • This research confirms and expands upon previous studies by highlighting biological responses to long-term exposure to air pollution, utilizing a sophisticated analysis of pollutant mixtures.

Background: A better understanding of lung cancer etiology and the development of screening biomarkers have important implications for lung cancer prevention.

Methods: We included 623 matched case-control pairs from the Cancer Prevention Study (CPS) cohorts. Pre-diagnosis blood samples were collected between 1998 and 2001 in the CPS-II Nutrition cohort and 2006 and 2013 in the CPS-3 cohort and were sent for metabolomics profiling simultaneously.

The present study compared parent ratings to self-report ratings of depression, anxiety, hyperactivity, attention problems, and atypical behaviors in youth with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) and typically developing (TD) controls. Measures included parent and self-report forms from the Behavioral Assessment System for Children-Second Edition (BASC-2), and self-report forms from the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC). Results across all five BASC-2 scales indicated parent ratings for the HFASD condition were significantly higher than HFASD self-ratings, and were significantly higher than parent and self-ratings from the TD condition.

The purpose of this study was to: (1) examine symptom levels of anxiety and depression in children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASDs) compared with matched control children using child self-reports and parent ratings; and (2) examine source differences within the two condition groups. An overall multivariate effect indicated significantly elevated depression and anxiety symptoms for children with HFASDs based on parent reports; however no significant between-group differences based on child self-reports. Within-condition source comparisons (parent vs.
