Trends and inequalities in cardiovascular disease mortality across 7932 English electoral wards, 1982-2006: Bayesian spatial analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has more than halved in England since the 1980s, but there are few data on small-area trends. We estimated CVD mortality by ward in 5-year intervals
Large scale air pollution estimation method combining land use regression and chemical transport modeling in a geostatistical framework (Publications)
In recognition that intraurban exposure gradients may be as large as between-city variations, recent air pollution epidemiologic studies have become increasingly interested in capturing within-city ex
Health impact assessment of waste management facilities in three European countries (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Policies on waste disposal in Europe are heterogeneous and rapidly changing, with potential health implications that are largely unknown. We conducted a health impact assessment of landfil
Mapping of background air pollution at a fine spatial scale across the European Union (Publications)
BACKGROUND: There is a need to understand much more about the geographic variation of air pollutants. This requires the ability to extrapolate from monitoring stations to unsampled locations. The aim
Alterations in T cell subsets in human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults with co-infections in southern Mozambique (Publications)
T cell activation and depletion of naive T cells are hallmarks of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pathogenesis. This study explored the relationships between certain co-infections (including syphil
Adult cancers near high-voltage overhead power lines (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields are designated as possibly carcinogenic in humans, based on an epidemiologic association with childhood leukemia. Evidence for associations with adu
