Developmental Origins of Cardiovascular DiseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 9-16 - 2014
Edwina H. Yeung, Candace Robledo, Nansi Boghossian, Cuilin Zhang, Pauline Mendola
Although cardiovascular disease has traditionally been viewed as a condition of aging individuals, increasing focus has turned to its developmental origins. Since birth weight has been related to cardiovascular disease risk, research into factors such as gravid conditions that affect fetal growth have grown. Associations between maternal diabetes and childhood obesity from sibling studies suggest ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Curse of the Perinatal Epidemiologist: Inferring Causation Amidst SelectionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 379-387 - 2018
Jonathan M. Snowden, Marit L. Bovbjerg, Mekhala Dissanayake, Olga Basso
Human reproduction is a common process and one that unfolds over a relatively short time, but pregnancy and birth processes are challenging to study. Selection occurs at every step of this process (e.g., infertility, early pregnancy loss, and stillbirth), adding substantial bias to estimated exposure-outcome associations. Here, we focus on selection in perinatal epidemiology, specifically, how it ...... hiện toàn bộ
Differential Item Functioning and its Relevance to EpidemiologySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 174-183 - 2019
Richard N. Jones
In this review, I trace the origins, applications, limitations, and future prospects for research on measurement item bias or differential item functioning (DIF) in the context of health research. DIF arises in the context of using multiple item or symptom health instruments to rate the level of a particular condition, and describes the situation where not all persons at the same level of the unde...... hiện toàn bộ
E-cigarette Use and Indicators of Cardiovascular Disease RiskSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 248-257 - 2017
Rebecca J. Schweitzer, Thomas A. Wills, J. Dusty Behner
The aim is to provide a detailed review of literature from studies examining the relation of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use to indicators of risk for cardiovascular disease. In addition to discussing clinical and cell culture studies, we discuss possible mechanisms for the observed effects. Studies have compared the effect of e-cigarette use (or vapor) and combustible cigarette smoking on ...... hiện toàn bộ

Outdoor Air Pollution and Pregnancy Loss: a Review of Recent LiteratureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 387-405 - 2022
Ha, Sandie, Ghimire, Sneha, Martinez, Valerie
This review summarizes recent literature about the impacts of outdoor air pollution on pregnancy loss (spontaneous abortion/miscarriage and stillbirth), identifies challenges and opportunities, and provides recommendations for actions. Both short- and long-term exposures to ubiquitous air pollutants, including fine particulate matter < 2.5 and < 10 μm, may increase pregnancy loss risk. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Epigenetics and Health DisparitiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2017
Alexis D. Vick, Heather H. Burris
African-Americans disproportionately suffer from leading causes of morbidity and mortality including cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and preterm birth. Disparities can arise from multiple social and environmental exposures, but how the human body responds to these exposures to result in pathophysiologic states is incompletely understood. Epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation, c...... hiện toàn bộ
