Glyphosate (GLY) is the most heavily used herbicide worldwide but extent of exposure in human pregnancy remains unknown. Its residues are found environment, major crops, and food items that humans, including pregnant women, consume daily. Since GLY may also increase fetal risk, we designed a birth-cohort study to determine frequency, potential pathways, associations with growth indicators length.
Dengue fever (DF), a vector-borne flavivirus, is endemic to the tropical countries of world with nearly 400 million people becoming infected each year and roughly one-third world’s population living in areas risk. The main vector for DF Aedes aegypti mosquito, which also same yellow fever, chikungunya, Zika viruses. To gain an understanding spatial aspects that can affect epidemiological processes across disease’s geographical range, interactions involved, we created compared Bernoulli...
Disinfected water is the major source of haloacetic acids (HAAs) in humans, but their inter- and intra-individual variability for exposure risk assessment applications under-researched. Thus, we measured HAAs cross-sectional longitudinal urine specimens from 17 individuals. Five regulated HAAs—mono-, di-, trichloroacetic acid (MCAA, DCAA, TCAA) mono- dibromoacetic (MBAA DBAA)—and one unregulated HAA—bromochloroacetic (BCAA)—were measured. Urinary MBAA, DBAA, BCAA levels were always below...
Previous research on Dengue Fever have involved laboratory tests or study areas with less diverse temperature and elevation ranges than is found in Colombia; therefore, preliminary was needed to identify location specific attributes of transmission. Environmental variables derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellites were combined population be statistically compared against reported cases Río Magdalena...
Climate change is creating an increased incidence of extreme weather globally, both in terms temperatures and precipitation, which are forecast to continue rising on average. In the north-central United States, changes timing intensity rainfall combined with warmer winters leading of, more severe, flooding, especially during spring. To assist a community assessment, we have developed geospatial visualization quantification tool for metrics normalization index generation. This quantifies...
In the United States, Critical Infrastructure is defined and regulated by federal government [1,2].Yet in an emergency (such as storm-related flooding or other climate-induced emergencies) federal, state, municipal management aid often not available to individual household for hours days [3-5] even when major has been affected.From a climate survival perspective, needs be redefined from community-based point of view so that households can identify home-level vulnerabilities plan adaptations...
ObjectiveIn this paper we used Boosted Regression Tree analysis coupled with environmental factors gathered from satellite data, such as temperature, elevation, and precipitation, to model the niche of Dengue Fever (DF) in Colombia.IntroductionDengue is a vector-borne disease flavivirus family carried by Aedes aegypti mosquito, one leading causes illness death tropical regions world. Nearly 400 million people become infected each year, while roughly one-third world’s population live areas...
