Inactivation mechanisms of influenza A virus under pH conditions encountered in aerosol particles as revealed by whole-virus HDX-MS
Athanasios Nenes, Tamar Kohn, Giovanni D'Angelo, Kalliopi Violaki, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Shannon Christa David, Walter Hugentobler, Jonathan Paz Montoya
Multiple respiratory viruses, including influenza A virus (IAV), can be transmitted via expiratory aerosol particles, and aerosol pH was recently identified as a major factor influencing airborne virus infectivity. Indoors, small exhaled aerosols undergo r ...
2023Associations between urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress and biomarkers of tobacco smoke exposure in smokers
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Nicolas Sambiagio
Oxidative stress can contribute to the development of diseases, and may originate from exposures to toxicants commonly found in air pollution and cigarette smoke such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Yet, as ...
Elsevier2022Insights into the molecular composition of semi-volatile aerosols in the summertime central Arctic Ocean using FIGAERO-CIMS
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini
The remote central Arctic during summertime has a pristine atmosphere with very low aerosol particle concentrations. As the region becomes increasingly ice-free during summer, enhanced oceanatmosphere fluxes of aerosol particles and precursor gases may the ...
2021Electrochemical determination of nicotine in smokers' sweat
In this work, we report the demonstration of the capability of electrochemical sensors to provide measurements directly on the sweat of volunteers to successfully discriminate heavy smokers by light ones. Since its importance as pharmaceutical treatment-ag ...
ELSEVIER2020Re-assessing the Formation of N-nitrosamines during Chloramination of Various Nitrogenous Compounds using Specific and Total N-nitrosamines Analysis
Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Andrea Piazzoli
N-nitrosamines (NOAs) are potent carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds that can be present in water, biological fluids, food, consumer products and cigarette smoke. Several studies have shown that the formation of NOAs in water can arise from the reactions ...
2018Hybrid Processing of Thermoplastic Based Multimaterials
There is a growing interest in exploring novel material combinations and processing technology to manufacture complex 3D shaped polymer and composite structures. In the field of prosthetics and orthotics, this need is significant with additional challenges ...
EPFL2017Increased Myeloid Cell Production and Lung Bacterial Clearance in Mice Exposed to Cigarette Smoke
Pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although most patients with COPD are smokers, the effects of cigarette smoke exposure on clearance of lung bacterial pathogens and on immune and ...
Amer Thoracic Soc2016Cigarette smoking leads to persistent and dose-dependent alterations of brain activity and connectivity in anterior insula and anterior cingulate
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Kirsten Emmert, Rotem Roza Kopel
Although many smokers try to quit smoking, only about 20-25 percent will achieve abstinence despite 6 months or more of gold-standard treatment. This low success rate suggests long-term changes in the brain related to smoking, which remain poorly understoo ...
Wiley-Blackwell2015Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy?
Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Guillaume Sierro
Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...
2015Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy are observed in late but not early onset nicotine smokers
Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Guillaume Sierro, Géraldine Beaud
Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. Relative VBM deficits were also observed in high as compared to low scorers in one schizotypal subdimension (cognitive disorganisation, CogDis; Cappe et al., 2012). VBM deficits ...
