Patient-related risk factors leading to aseptic stem loosening in total hip arthroplasty: a case-control study of 5,035 patients (Publications)
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that certain patient characteristics have different effects on the risk of early stem loosening in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We therefore conducted a case-control study
A satellite-based spatio-temporal machine learning model to reconstruct daily PM2.5 concentrations across Great Britain (Publications)
matter (PM2.5) levels across Great Britain between 2008–2018. This high-resolution model consists of random forest (RF) algorithms applied in four stages. Stage-1 augments monitor-PM2.5 series using [...] spatial and spatio-temporal variables to build a prediction model for PM2.5. Stage-4 applies Stage-3 models to estimate daily PM2.5 concentrations over a 1 km grid. The RF architecture performed well in all [...] epidemiological analyses to assess health risks associated with both short- and...
Estimating urban <em>PM</em>10 and <em>PM</em>2.5 concentrations, based on synergistic MERIS/AATSR aerosol observations, land cover and morphology... (Publications)
approaches for quantitative estimation of daily mean Particulate Matter (PM) concentrations. Both fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM10) concentrations were estimated over the area of London (UK) for the 2002–2012 time
The association of LUR modeled PM2.5 elemental composition with personal exposure (Publications)
predicting personal exposures. In this study, the association of LUR modeled concentrations of PM2.5 components with measured personal concentrations was determined. The elements of interest were copper [...] sites were selected in each city (15 participants per city). Outdoor, indoor and personal 96-hour PM2.5 samples were collected by the participants over periods of two weeks in three different seasons (winter [...] with measured personal Cu exposure. After excluding observations with an...
How do clinicians prefer cultural competence training? Findings from the DSM-5 cultural formulation interview field trial (Publications)
objective is to analyze training methods clinicians reported as most and least helpful during the DSM-5 Cultural Formulation Interview field trial, reasons why, and associations between demographic chara

First-grade children, aged 5-8 years who had never received praziquantel, were also tested at baseline and at the end of the study [...] final year, we observed the lowest prevalence of 10.4% in arm 1, compared to 18.2% in arm 2 and 17.5% in arm 3. The comparison between arms 1 and 2 estimated an odds ratio (OR) of 0.52 but the difference [...] final year survey were observed in arm 1 (7.9 eggs per gram of stool (EPG))....
