Associations of long-term exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise with cognitive function : an analysis of effect measure modification
2017
Background: Adverse effects of traffic-related air pollution (AP) and noise on cognitive functions have been proposed, but little is known about their interactions and the combined effect of co-exposure. Methods: Cognitive assessment was completed by 4086 participants of the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall cohort study using five neuropsychological subtests and an additively calculated global cognitive score (GCS). We assessed long-term residential concentrations for size-fractioned particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides with land use regression. Road traffic noise (weighted 24-h (LDEN) and night-time (LNIGHT) means) was assessed according to the EU directive 2002/49/EC. Linear r…
The role of depressive symptoms within the association of long-term exposure to indoor and outdoor traffic noise and cognitive function – Results fro…

Abstract Objectives Traffic noise is negatively associated with cognitive function, and its perception can differ between depressed and non-depressed people. We studied the role of depressive symptoms in the association between traffic noise and cognitive function. We studied the role of depressive symptoms in the association between traffic noise and cognitive function. Methods During the first follow-up examination (2006–2008) of the German Heinz Nixdorf Recall study, cognitive function (five subtests and an additive global summary score, GCS) and depressive symptoms (CES-D score) were assessed in 2745 participants (aged 50–80, 49.8% women). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was diagnosed a…
Abstract TMP17: Revacept, an Inhibitor of Platelet Adhesion in Patients With Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis. Safety Data From the International …
2020
Introduction: Revacept is a novel vascular lesion-directed inhibitor of platelet adhesion and thrombus formation, exhibiting no effects on the homeostatic functions of circulating platelets. Objective: The effects of Revacept on plaque-mediated thrombosis were investigated in patients with symptomatic stenosis of the internal carotid artery (at least 50%, following ECST-criteria). Methods: Within an international, prospective, multicenter (n=16), randomized trial 158 patients could be randomized to receive placebo, or 40/120 mg Revacept by intravenous infusion over 20 minutes. Cerebrovascular events and cardiovascular complications were followed up to 3 months. Results: 158 patients were f…
