Hallmarks of environmental insults

Annette Peters et al.

Summary: Environmental insults such as contaminated air, water, and food expose human beings to a plethora of chemicals and stressors, impacting health at all stages of life. The proposed eight hallmarks of environmental insults encompass oxidative stress, genomic alterations, epigenetic changes, and disruptions to various bodily functions, offering insight into the severe health effects induced by complex mixtures of environmental exposures.

Association between short-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter and myocardial injury in the CATHGEN cohort

Siqi Zhang et al.

Summary: Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with increased risk for coronary events, while elevated levels of cardiac troponins (cTn) suggest myocardial injury. This study found that acute PM2.5 exposure may elevate indicators of myocardial tissue damage, supporting the link between air pollution exposure and adverse cardiovascular events.

Acute Exposure to Diesel Exhaust Increases Muscle Sympathetic Nerve Activity in Humans

Gregory D. Rankin et al.

Summary: Our study provides direct evidence of the rapid modulation of the autonomic nervous system after exposure to DE, with an increase in MSNA. The quick increase in sympathetic outflow may explain the strong epidemiological data associating traffic-related particulate matter to acute adverse cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction.

Long-Term Exposure to Particulate Air Pollution Is Associated With 30-Day Readmissions and Hospital Visits Among Patients With Heart Failure

Cavin K. Ward-Caviness et al.

Summary: The study found a positive association between long-term air pollution exposure and hospital admissions and readmissions in patients with heart failure; these results suggest the potential impact of environmental factors on hospital use among patients; even after adjusting for multiple factors, the results remained robust, emphasizing the potential for reducing hospital utilization in patients with heart failure by improving environmental pollution.
