Natriuretic peptides and integrated risk assessment for cardiovascular disease. an individual-participant-data meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases focus on prediction of coronary heart disease and stroke. We assessed whether or not measurement of N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration could enable ...

The concentration index of a binary outcome revisited

Health Economics, 2011
SUMMARYThe binary variable is one of the most common types of variables in the analysis of income‐related health inequalities. I argue that while the binary variable has some unusual properties, it shares many of the properties of the ratio–scale variable and hence lends itself to both relative and absolute inequality analyses, albeit with some ...

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Exploring the Individual, Socioeconomic and Contextual Determinants Associated with Daily Tobacco Consumption in Portugal

Notas Económicas
The National Program for Tobacco Prevention and Control reflects awareness of tobacco as a major public health problem in Portugal. To infer which population groups should be targeted, we estimate sex-specific logistic regressions to analyze the ...

Measuring income related inequality in health and health care: the partial concentration index with direct and indirect standardisation. [PDF]

The partial concentration index measures income related inequality in health (or health care) after removing the effects of standardising variables which affect health (or health care), are correlated with income but not amenable to policy.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Measuring socioeconomic inequalities in postnatal health checks for newborns in Ethiopia: a decomposition analysis

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundAddressing health inequity is a top priority for achieving sustainable development goals. The existing evidences in Ethiopia have shown that there are substantial inequalities in the use of health services among various socioeconomic strata ...

Agglomeration Index: Towards a New Measure of Urban Concentration [PDF]

, 2009
A common challenge in analyzing urbanization is the data. The United Nations (UN) compiles information on urbanization (urban population and its share of total national population) that is reported by various countries but there is no standardized ...

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...
