The biological mechanisms linking air pollution to cardiovascular events still remain largely unclear.To investigate whether occurred concurrently in human subjects exposed urban pollutants.We recruited a panel of 76 young, healthy students from university Taipei. Between April and June 2004 or 2005, three measurements were made each participant high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), plasminogen activator fibrinogen inhibitor-1 (PAI-1),...
Low infection and case-fatality rates have been thus far observed in Taiwan. One of the reasons for this major success is better use big data analytics efficient contact tracing management surveillance those who require quarantine isolation.We present here a unique application among Taiwanese people had with more than 3000 passengers that disembarked at Keelung harbor Taiwan 1-day tour on January 31, 2020, 5 days before outbreak coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Diamond Princess cruise ship...
Although mass eradication of Helicobacter pylori has been proposed as a means to eliminate gastric cancer, its long-term effects remain unclear.Mass H. infection was launched in 2004 and continued until 2018 for high-risk Taiwanese population aged 30 years or older dwelling on Matsu Islands with prevalent infection. Test positives the 13C-urea breath test underwent therapy. We evaluated effectiveness reducing two main outcomes, incidence mortality rates end 2016 2018, respectively.After six...
The spread of influenza and highly pathogenic avian (H5N1) presents a significant threat to human health. Avian outbreaks in downwind areas Asian dust storms (ADS) suggest that viruses might be transported by storms.We developed technique measure ambient viruses. We then used this concentrations these on ADS days background days, assess the relationships between viruses, air pollutants.A high-volume sampler was parallel with filter cassette evaluate spiked samples unspiked samples. Then,...
This study attempted to determine whether any association exists between sick building syndrome (SBS) and indoor carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentrations. We evaluated SBS among 111 office workers in August November 2003. The environmental conditions the office, including CO(2) concentrations, temperature, relative humidity, fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)), were continuously monitored. most prevalent symptoms of five groups eye irritation nonspecific upper respiratory symptoms. generalized...
Studies on the effect of air pollutions kidney diseases are still limited.
<h3>Objectives</h3> Several respirable hazards, including smoking and indoor air pollution from biomass, were suggested to increase the risk of tuberculosis. Few studies have been conducted on ambient We investigated association between exposure incidence active <h3>Methods</h3> a cohort study using 106 678 participants community-based screening service in Taiwan, 2005–2012. estimated individual data nearest quality monitoring station road intensity within 500 m buffer zone. The tuberculosis...
Diabetes is a well-known risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) and increasingly prevalent in low- middle-income countries, where the burden of TB high. Glycemic control has potential to modify TB. However, there are few studies on association between glycemic risk, results inconsistent.We assembled cohort using 123,546 individuals who participated community-based health screening service northern Taiwan from 5 March 2005 27 July 2008. was measured fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at time screening....
There is compelling epidemiological evidence that links air pollution to increased risk of mortality from cardiopulmonary disease and lung cancer. We quantified the burden attributable ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) among Taiwanese population in 2014 at national subnational levels.Subnational PM2.5 exposure levels were obtained Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring Network. Relative risks derived a previously developed exposure-response model. Population fraction for cause-specific was...
Abstract Most countries have implemented restrictions on mobility to prevent the spread of Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), entailing considerable societal costs but, at least initially, based limited evidence effectiveness. We asked whether were associated with changes in occurrence COVID-19 34 OECD plus Singapore and Taiwan. Our data sources Google Global Mobility Data Source, which reports different types mobility, cases retrieved from dataset curated by World Data. Beginning each...
Abstract Background Although a number of studies have reported on the health effects fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure, particularly in North American and European countries as well China, evidence about intermediate to high levels PM2.5 exposures is still limited. We aimed investigate associations between long-term exposure risk cardiopulmonary disease incidence Taiwan with exposure. Methods A cohort Taiwanese adults, who participated 2001, 2005, 2009 2013 National Health Interview...
