Short-term effects of particulate matter on total mortality during Saharan dust outbreaks: a case-crossover analysis in Madrid (Spain) (Publications)
given consistent results. METHODS: We investigated the effects of coarse (PM(10-2.5)) and fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)) in Madrid on total mortality during Saharan dust and non-dust days using a cas [...] PM(10-2.5) raised total mortality by 2.8% compared with 0.6% during non-dust days (P-value for interaction=0.0165). CONCLUSION: We found evidence of stronger adverse health effects of PM(10-2.5) during [...] during Saharan dust outbreaks effects for impacted European populations, but not...
Does systemic lidocaine reduce ketamine requirements for endotracheal intubation in calves? (Publications)
however, neither the median (range) amount of ketamine required for intubation, 3.5 (2.5-4.5) mg kg-1 and 3.5 (2.5-3.5) mg kg-1, respectively, nor the induction quality differed significantly between the [...] later lidocaine (2 mg kg-1; group L) or saline (group S) IV over 1 minute. After 2 minutes, ketamine (2.5 mg kg-1) was injected IV. If the depth of anaesthesia was insufficient for intubation, additional ketamine

Understanding the social determinants of child mortality in Latin America over the last two decades: a machine learning approach (Publications)
for predicting U5MR according to the RF. Furthermore, non-linear relationships were found mainly for Gini index and U5MR. Our study suggests that long-term public policies to reduce U5MR in Latin America [...] learning (ML) algorithms to explore the relationship between social determinants and child under-5 mortality rates (U5MR) in Brazil, Ecuador, and Mexico over two decades. We created a municipal-level cohort from [...] random forest model (RF) to estimate the relative importance of social...

Impact of population aging on future temperature-related mortality at different global warming levels (Publications)
show that at 1.5 °C, 2 °C, and 3 °C of global warming, heat-related mortality in 800 locations across 50 countries/areas will increase by 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.5%, respectively; among which 1 in 5 to 1 in 4 h [...] mostly counteract this trend, leading to a net increase in cold-related mortality by 0.1%-0.4% at 1.5-3 °C global warming. Our findings indicate that population aging constitutes a crucial driver for future
