A Novel Genetic Score Approach Using Instruments to Investigate Interactions between Pathways and Environment: Application to Air Pollution
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Air pollution has been associated with increased systemic inflammation markers. We developed a new pathway analysis approach to investigate whether gene variants within relevant pathways (oxidative stress, endothelial ...
Short Term Effects of Particle Exposure on Hospital Admissions in the Mid-Atlantic States: A Population Estimate
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Background: Many studies report significant associations between PM2.5 (particulate matter <2.5 micrometers) and hospital admissions. These studies mostly rely on a limited number of monitors which introduces exposure ...
Longitudinal Relationship between Personal CO and Personal \(PM_{2.5}\) among Women Cooking with Woodfired Cookstoves in Guatemala
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Household air pollution (HAP) due to solid fuel use is a major public health threat in low-income countries. Most health effects are thought to be related to exposure to the fine particulate matter (PM) component of HAP, ...
Associations between Changes in City and Address Specific Temperature and QT Interval - The VA Normative Aging Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Background: The underlying mechanisms of the association between ambient temperature and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are not well understood, particularly for daily temperature variability. We evaluated if daily ...
