The Global Contribution of Outdoor Air Pollution to the Incidence, Prevalence, Mortality and Hospital Admission for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(MDPI, 2014)Objective:: This study aimed to investigate the quantitative effects of outdoor air pollution, represented by 10 µg/m3 increment of PM10, on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China, United States and European Union ... -
Global Expanded Nutrient Supply (GENuS) Model: A New Method for Estimating the Global Dietary Supply of Nutrients
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Insufficient data exist for accurate estimation of global nutrient supplies. Commonly used global datasets contain key weaknesses: 1) data with global coverage, such as the FAO food balance sheets, lack specific information ... -
Global Gene Expression Profiling in Whole-Blood Samples From Individuals Exposed to Metal Fumes
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)Accumulating evidence demonstrates that particulate air pollutants can cause both pulmonary and airway inflammation. However, few data show that particulates can induce systemic inflammatory responses. We conducted an ... -
Global health initiative investments and health systems strengthening: a content analysis of global fund investments
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually under the umbrella of national health systems strengthening. Global health initiatives provide funding for low- and middle-income countries through disease-oriented ... -
The Global Health System: Linking Knowledge with Action—Learning from Malaria
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2010) -
Global Metabolomic Profiling Reveals an Association of Metal Fume Exposure and Plasma Unsaturated Fatty Acids
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Welding-associated air pollutants negatively affect the health of exposed workers; however, their molecular mechanisms in causing disease remain largely unclear. Few studies have systematically investigated the ... -
Global Patterns of Healthy Life Expectancy in the Year 2002
(BioMed Central, 2004)Background: Healthy life expectancy – sometimes called health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) – is a form of health expectancy indicator that extends measures of life expectancy to account for the distribution of health ... -
The global pediatric antiretroviral market: analyses of product availability and utilization reveal challenges for development of pediatric formulations and HIV/AIDS treatment in children
(Springer Nature, 2010)Background: Important advances in the development and production of quality-certified pediatric antiretroviral (ARV) formulations have recently been made despite significant market disincentives for manufacturers. This ... -
Global Phylogenomic Analysis of Nonencapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae Reveals a Deep-Branching Classic Lineage That Is Distinct from Multiple Sporadic Lineages
(Oxford University Press, 2014)The surrounding capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae has been identified as a major virulence factor and is targeted by pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV). However, nonencapsulated S. pneumoniae (non-Ec-Sp) have also ... -
Global rules for global health: why we need an independent, impartial WHO
(BMJ, 2014)Over the past few years the World Health Organization (WHO) has been undergoing substantial reform. The immediate trigger was a budget crisis in 2010 that spurred massive staff cuts. But at a more fundamental level, deeper ... -
The global stock of research evidence relevant to health systems policymaking
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Policymakers and stakeholders need immediate access to many types of research evidence to make informed decisions about the full range of questions that may arise regarding health systems. Methods: We examined ... -
Global, regional and national sodium intakes in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis of 24 h urinary sodium excretion and dietary surveys worldwide
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)Objectives: To estimate global, regional (21 regions) and national (187 countries) sodium intakes in adults in 1990 and 2010. Design: Bayesian hierarchical modelling using all identifiable primary sources. Data sources and ... -
Global, regional, and national consumption levels of dietary fats and oils in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis including 266 country-specific nutrition surveys
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., 2014)Objectives: To quantify global consumption of key dietary fats and oils by country, age, and sex in 1990 and 2010. Design: Data were identified, obtained, and assessed among adults in 16 age- and sex-specific groups from ... -
Globalization and Workers' Health
(American Astronomical Society, 2008)The global integration of economies worldwide has led to increased pressure for "labor flexibility". A notable aspect of this trend has been the rise in non-standard work arrangements, which include part-time work, temporary ... -

Glutathione S-Transferase Polymorphisms, Passive Smoking, Obesity, and Heart Rate Variability in Nonsmokers
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)Background: Disturbances of heart rate variability (HRV) may represent one pathway by which second-hand smoke (SHS) and air pollutants affect cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms are poorly understood. ... -
Glycaemic index and glycaemic load in relation to risk of diabetes-related cancers: a meta-analysis
(Cambridge University Press, 2012)Diets high in glycaemic index (GI) or glycaemic load (GL) have been hypothesised to increase the risks of certain cancers by increasing blood glucose or insulin concentrations. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of ... -
Glycemic Effects of Moderate Alcohol Intake Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
(American Diabetes Association, 2007)Objective - In a randomized controlled trial, we assessed the effect of daily moderate alcohol intake on glycemic control in the fasting and postprandial states in patients with type 2 diabetes who previously had abstained ... -
