Deep learning parametric response mapping from inspiratory chest CT scans: a new approach for small airway disease screening

Jiancheng Yang, Zhiye Wang, Jun Lu, Zhigang Li, Lin Qi, Ming Li, Bo Du, Yuxuan Sun, Ziyi Liu

Objectives Parametric response mapping (PRM) enables the evaluation of small airway disease (SAD) at the voxel level, but requires both inspiratory and expiratory chest CT scans. We hypothesize that deep learning PRM from inspiratory chest CT scans can eff ...

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 ...

Associations 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 ...

The neighborhood environment and its association with the spatio-temporal footprint of tobacco consumption and changes in smoking-related behaviors in a Swiss urban area

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder

This study aimed to evaluate the association of the neighborhood environment with the spatio-temporal dependence of tobacco consumption and changes in smoking-related behaviors in a Swiss urban area. Data were obtained from the CoLaus cohort (2003-2006, 20 ...

Mechanisms of the breathing contribution to bodily self‐consciousness in healthy humans: Lessons from machine‐assisted breathing?

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Oliver Alan Kannape, Elisa Canzoneri, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Previous studies investigated bodily self‐consciousness (BSC) by experimentally exposing subjects to multisensory conflicts (i.e., visuo‐tactile, audio‐tactile, visuo‐cardiac) in virtual reality (VR) that involve the participant's torso in a paradigm known ...

Hexachlorobenzene exerts genotoxic effects in a humpback whale cell line under stable exposure conditions

Kristin Schirmer, Jenny Maner

Humpback whales, like other polar wildlife, accumulate persistent organic pollutants. In Southern hemisphere populations, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) dominates the contaminant profiles. HCB is linked to a variety of health effects and is classified as a group ...

Public smoking ban and socioeconomic inequalities in smoking prevalence and cessation: a cross-sectional population-based study in Geneva, Switzerland (1995–2014)

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous

Introduction Smoking bans were suggested to reduce smoking prevalence and increase quit ratio but their equity impact remains unclear. We aimed to characterise the socioeconomic status (SES)-related inequalities in smoking prevalence and quit ratio before ...

Frequent walkers: from healthy individual behaviours to sustainable mobility futures

Derek Pierre Christie

Walking is often taken for granted or considered as an ancillary activity. Little is known about the distribution of walking in contemporary populations, and even less about the few people who walk for an hour or more in public space on most days of the we ...

Re-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 ...

Development of a new simple fluorometric method for total N-nitrosamines analysis in water

Karim-Alexandre Essaied

N-nitrosamines are known as carcinogenic compounds and arouse today more and more attention as micropollutants and disinfection by-products. Indeed, they were newly found in several drinking waters, wastewaters and greywaters. It was proven that they can f ...
