Previous literature suggests that higher ambient temperature may play a role in increasing the risk of suicide. However, no multi-country study has explored shape association and moderate extreme heat across different locations.
Abstract Epidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations that offer limited spatial and temporal coverage. Climate reanalysis represents an alternative option provide complete spatio-temporal exposure coverage, yet to be systematically explored for their suitability in assessing temperature-related at a global scale. Here we the first comprehensive analysis over multiple regions assess most...
The case-crossover design is widely used in environmental epidemiology as an effective alternative to the conventional time-series regression estimate short-term associations of exposures with a range acute events. This tutorial illustrates implementation time-stratified study aggregated health outcomes and exposures, such particulate matter air pollution, focusing on adjusting covariates investigating effect modification using conditional Poisson regression. Time-varying confounders can be...
Using purified proteins from calf and a synthetic substrate, we have reconstituted the enzymatic reactions required for mammalian Okazaki fragment processing in vitro. The are removal of initiator RNA, synthesis an upstream to generate nick, then ligation. With our RNase H type I (RNase HI) makes single cut one nucleotide 5' RNA-DNA junction. double strand specific 3' exonuclease removes remaining monoribonucleotide. After dissociation cleaved by DNA polymerase generates which is sealed...
Air pollution is known to contribute respiratory and cardiovascular mortality morbidity. Oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the main mechanisms for these effects on health.The aim this study was analyze exposure particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameters < or = 10 microm (PM10) 2.5 (PM2.5) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in schoolchildren.The population consisted 120 schoolchildren. The survey measurements were conducted four...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful means of identifying genes with disease-associated common variants, but they not well-suited to detecting rare and low-frequency variants. In the current study Behçet disease (BD), nonsynonymous variants (NSVs) identified by deep exonic resequencing 10 found GWAS ( IL10, IL23R , CCR1 STAT4 KLRK1 KLRC1, KLRC2, KLRC3, KLRC4 ERAP1 ) 11 selected for their role in innate immunity (IL1B, IL1R1, IL1RN, NLRP3, MEFV, TNFRSF1A, PSTPIP1, CASP1,...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are reported to cause adverse effects on pulmonary function in occupationally exposed workers. However, evidence is lacking the effect general population. We hypothesised that VOCs impair through enhancing oxidative stress, especially elderly A longitudinal panel study of 154 people was performed South Korea. Repeated spirometric tests were up eight times different days for each subject. also measured urinary concentrations metabolites VOC and markers stress...
BackgroundA limited number of studies suggest that ambient temperature contributes to suicide; these typically focus on a single nation and use temporally spatially aggregated data.ObjectiveWe evaluated the association between suicide in multiple cities three East Asian countries.MethodsA time-stratified case-crossover method was used explore relationship suicide, adjusting for potential time-varying confounders time-invariant individual characteristics. Sex- age-specific associations with...
Various retrospective studies have reported on the increase of mortality risk due to higher diurnal temperature range (DTR). This study projects effect DTR future across 445 communities in 20 countries and regions.DTR-related was estimated basis historical daily time-series weather factors from Jan 1, 1985, Dec 31, 2015, with data for regions, Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network. We obtained projected series associated four climate change scenarios, using representative...
Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) is an important indicator to assess the temperature-mortality association, indicating long-term adaptation local climate. Limited evidence about geographical variability of MMT available at a global scale.We collected data from 658 communities in 43 countries under different climates. We estimated associations derive for each community using Poisson regression with distributed lag nonlinear models. investigated variation by climatic zone mixed-effects...
BackgroundClimate change can directly impact temperature-related excess deaths and might subsequently the seasonal variation in mortality. In this study, we aimed to provide a systematic comprehensive assessment of potential future changes variation, or seasonality, mortality across different climate zones.MethodsIn modelling collected daily time series mean temperature (all causes non-external only) via Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative (MCC) Research Network. These data were during...
BackgroundExposure to cold spells is associated with mortality. However, little known about the global mortality burden of spells.MethodsA three-stage meta-analytical method was used estimate by means a time series dataset 1960 locations across 59 countries (or regions). First, we fitted location-specific, spell-related associations using quasi-Poisson regression distributed lag non-linear model period up 21 days. Second, built multivariate meta-regression between location-specific and seven...
BackgroundDespite extensive findings on the hazardous impacts of environmental heat exposure, little is known about effect people with disabilities. This study aimed to estimate association between exposure and emergency department admissions for disabilities compared without disabilities.MethodsIn this nationwide, case-crossover study, we linked data (cases) any cause in warm season South Korea from Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS)–National Sample Cohort database (a...
Cambodia is prone to extreme weather events, especially floods, droughts and typhoons. Climate change predicted increase the frequency intensity of such events. The Cambodian population highly vulnerable impacts these events due poverty; malnutrition; agricultural dependence; settlements in flood-prone areas, public health, governance technological limitations. Yet little known about health Cambodia. Given extremely low adaptive capacity population, this a crucial knowledge gap. A literature...
Previous studies have shown that population susceptibility to non-optimum temperatures has changed over time, but little is known about the related time-varying factors underlie changes.Our objective was investigate changing in 47 prefectures of Japan four decades from 1972 2012, addressing three aspects: minimum mortality temperature (MMT) and heat- cold-related risks. In addition, we aimed examine how these aspects were associated with climate, demographic, socioeconomic variables.We first...
Background: There is growing evidence suggesting an association between air pollution and suicide. However, previous findings varied depending on the type of pollutant study location. Objectives: We examined pollutants suicide in 10 large cities South Korea, Japan, Taiwan. Methods: used a two-stage meta-analysis. First, we conducted time-stratified case-crossover analysis to estimate short-term nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur (SO2), particulate matter [aerodynamic diameter ≤10μm (PM10),...
