In May 2017, a two-day workshop was held in Los Angeles (California, U.S.A.) to gather practitioners who work with low-cost sensors used to make air quality measurements. The community of practice included individuals from academia, industry, non-profit groups, community-based...

A Bayesian Hierarchical Model for Relating Multiple SNPs within Multiple Genes to Disease Risk.

International journal of genomics

Duan L, Thomas DC.
PMID: 24490143
Int J Genomics. 2013;2013:406217. doi: 10.1155/2013/406217. Epub 2013 Dec 31.

A variety of methods have been proposed for studying the association of multiple genes thought to be involved in a common pathway for a particular disease. Here, we present an extension of a Bayesian hierarchical modeling strategy that allows...

Occupational Health and Safety in Ethiopia: A review of Situational Analysis and Needs Assessment.

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with prevalent diabetic retinopathy (DR) among Chinese American adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to compare these factors to ones previously described for a population-based sample of Latinos with a higher DR...

Determinants of the Spatial Distributions of Elemental Carbon and Particulate Matter in Eight Southern Californian Communities.

Atmospheric environment (Oxford, England : 1994)

Urman R, Gauderman J, Fruin S, Lurmann F, Liu F, Hosseini R, Franklin M, Avol E, Penfold B, Gilliland F, Brunekreef B, McConnell R.

Atmos Environ (1994). 2014 Apr 01;86:84-92. doi: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2013.11.077.

Emerging evidence indicates that near-roadway pollution (NRP) in ambient air has adverse health effects. However, specific components of the NRP mixture responsible for these effects have not been established. A major limitation for health studies is the lack of...

General and domain-specific cognitive reserve, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia risk in older women.

Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.)

Petkus AJ, Resnick SM, Rapp SR, Espeland MA, Gatz M, Widaman KF, Wang X, Younan D, Casanova R, Chui H, Barnard RT, Gaussoin S, Goveas JS, Hayden KM, Henderson VW, Sachs BC, Saldana S, Shadyab AH, Shumaker SA, Chen JC.

INTRODUCTION: In a geographically diverse sample of women, we asked whether cognitive reserve (CR) is best viewed as a general or cognitive domain-specific construct and whether some cognitive reserve domains but not others exert protective effects on risk of...

Different metrics (number, surface area, and volume concentration) of urban particles with varying sizes in relation to fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO).

Journal of thoracic disease

Gong J, Zhu T, Hu M, Wu Z, Zhang JJ.
PMID: 31179118
