Background: Although several cross-sectional studies have shown that aircraft noise exposure was associated with an increased risk of hypertension, a limited number of longitudinal studies have addressed this issue. This study is part of the DEBATS (Discussion on the health effect of aircraft noise) research programme and aimed to investigate the association between aircraft noise exposure and the incidence of hypertension.
Methods: In 2013, 1244 adults living near three major French airports were included in this longitudinal study.
Article Synopsis
- * The most common PyVs found in tonsil samples were HPyV6 and MCPyV, with variations in prevalence based on age and gender; for instance, TSPyV and BKPyV were more frequent in children, while HPyV6 was more common in men.
- * Gargle samples showed a different distribution of PyVs, with MCPyV being the most prevalent, and the findings provide insights into the epidemiology of PyVs, which may help in understanding their role in head and neck diseases. *
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how common various human herpesviruses (HHV) are in the tonsils of immunocompetent children and adults undergoing tonsillectomy in France.
- Researchers collected samples from tonsils and used a sensitive test to identify the presence of multiple HHV types, finding that 85% of samples had at least one virus.
- The results showed that EBV and HHV7 were the most prevalent, with detection rates differing by age; adults had higher rates of EBV, while children had more HHV6B and VZV, highlighting distinct infection patterns.
