The cardiovascular effects of inhaled particle matter (PM) are responsible for a substantial
morbidity and mortality attributed to air pollution. Ultrafine particles, like those in diesel …

Risk prediction plays an important role in clinical cardiology research. Traditionally, most risk
models have been based on regression models. While useful and robust, these statistical …

Oxidative stress occurs whenever the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds
endogenous antioxidant capacity. In this paper, we review the specific role of several …

Motivated by the explosion of molecular data on humans-particularly data associated with
individual patients-and the sense that there are large, as-yet-untapped opportunities to use …

Exposure to ambient air pollution is a serious and common public health concern associated
with growing morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the last decades, the adverse effects of air …

Consistent evidences from both epidemiological and experimental studies have
demonstrated that short-and long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM), in particular to …

This review focuses on how environmental factors through epigenetics modify disease risk
and health outcomes. Major epigenetic events, such as histone modifications, DNA …

In addition to increased morbidity and mortality caused by respiratory and cardiovascular
diseases, air pollution may also negatively affect the brain and contribute to central nervous …

Airborne fine particle mass concentrations (PM 2.5) are used for ambient air quality
management worldwide based in part on known cardiorespiratory health effects. While …

According to the World Health Organization, both indoor and urban air pollution are
responsible for the deaths of around 3.5 million people annually. During the last few …
