(aOR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.57, 0.91) and skin prick test (aOR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.50, 0.86). Early-life contact with grain was inversely related to the risk of atopy measured by IgE (aOR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.47, 0.92)
Associations of inter- and intraday temperature change with mortality (Publications)

Double burden of underweight and overweight among Bangladeshi adults differs between men and women: evidence from a nationally representative survey (Publications)
of being overweight were lower among higher educated men (OR=0.48; 95 % CI 0.39, 0.58) and men of rich households (OR=0.45; 95 % CI 0.37, 0.54) compared with higher educated women and women of rich households [...] 16.9 % of women. The odds of being overweight were significantly lower among urban men (OR=0.46; 95 % CI 0.37, 0.57) compared with urban women, whereas the odds of being underweight were significantly higher
The mediating effect of immune markers on the association between ambient air pollution and adult-onset asthma (Publications)
(beta) = 0.09; 95% CI: (-0.02, 0.20)). This effect appeared to be stronger for allergic asthma (22%; beta = 0.12; 95% CI: (-0.03, 0.27)) and overweight subjects (27%; beta = 0.19; 95% CI: (-0.004, 0.38)).
Breastfeeding, physical growth, and cognitive development (Publications)
associated with a 0.4-SD increase in overall child development (beta: .38; confidence limit = 0.23 to 0.53), a 0.6-SD increase in height-for-age z score (beta: .55; confidence limit = 0.31 to 0.79), and a 67% [...] 67% decrease in the odds of stunting (odds ratio = 0.33; 95% confidence interval = 0.20 to 0.54). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that even in settings with easy access to complementary foods, complying
Apathy in Parkinson's disease is related to executive function, gender and age but not to depression (Publications)

The visual grade [...] (range, 1.7-29.6 GBq) of [(90)Y-DOTA]-TOC was administered. Response was found in nine patients (29.0%). Four patients (12.9%) developed hematologic toxicities and seven patients (22.6%) developed renal
