MicroRNA testing of healthy kids could provide a window on future heart and kidney health


 E-Mail
New York, NY (February 26, 2020) - Molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs) that are measurable in urine have been identified by researchers at Mount Sinai as predictors of both heart and kidney health in children without disease. The epidemiological study of Mexican children was published in February in the journal
Epigenomics.
For the first time, we measured in healthy children the associations between urinary miRNAs and cardiorenal outcomes, including blood pressure, urinary sodium and potassium levels, and eGFR [estimated glomerular filtration rate, a measure of how well the kidneys are filtering or cleaning the blood], says lead author Yuri Levin-Schwartz, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. These relationships represent an opportunity to develop novel biomarkers for early detection and treatment of kidney damage or dysfunction. ....

Pre–COVID-19 Subway Air Polluted from DC to Boston, But New York Region's Is the Worst, Study Finds


Email
Commuters now have yet another reason to avoid packing themselves into subway stations. New York City’s transit system exposes riders to more inhaled pollutants than any other metropolitan subway system in the Northeastern United States, a new study finds. Yet even its “cleaner” neighbors struggle with enough toxins to give health-conscious travelers pause.
Led by NYU Grossman School of Medicine researchers, the study measured air quality samples in 71 stations at morning and evening rush hours in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. Among the 13 underground stations tested in New York, the investigators found concentrations of hazardous metals and organic particles that ranged anywhere from 2 to 7 times that of outdoor air samples. ....

Air in New York's subway systems is highly polluted, NYU study shows


Subway riders and transit workers in major cities are being exposed to levels of air pollution that could increase the risk of heart and lung problems, according to a new study from New York University.
Researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine said air quality readings, in particular on the PATH rail system linking New York and New Jersey and New York City s subway system, raise serious health concerns and warrant further investigation.
The research, published Wednesday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, looked at the air quality of transit systems across the Northeast, including subways in Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, during morning and evening rush hours. It found that air quality was lowest on platforms and improved somewhat on air-conditioned trains. ....
