Background Positive associations between ambient PM2.5 and cardiorespiratory disease have been well demonstrated during the past decade. However, few studies have examined the adverse effects of PM2.5 based on an entire population of a megalopolis.

Persistent User Bias in Case-Crossover Studies in Pharmacoepidemiology [PDF]
Studying the effect of chronic medication exposure by means of a case-crossover design may result in an upward-biased odds ratio. In this study, our aim was to assess the occurrence of this bias and to evaluate whether it is remedied by including a control group (the case-time-control design).

Relativistic BCS-BEC crossover in a boson-fermion model [PDF]
We investigate the crossover from Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) pairing to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a relativistic superfluid within a boson-fermion model.

Background In the context of global warming, studies have turned to assess the temporal trend of the association between temperature and health outcomes, which can be used to reflect whether human beings have adapted to the local temperature.

Bias in case‐crossover studies of medications due to persistent use: A simulation study [PDF]
AbstractPurposeThe case‐crossover design is increasingly used to evaluate the effects of chronic medications; however, as traditionally implemented in pharmacoepidemiology, with referent period preceding the outcome, it may lead to bias in the presence of persistent exposures.
