Pain Analysis, in Premature Infants, Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Background: The role of neonatal pain on the developing nervous system is not completely understood, but evidence suggests that sensory pathways are influenced by an infants pain experience. Research has shown that an infants previous pain experiences lead to an increased, and likely abnormal, response to subsequent painful stimuli.

Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles for Biophotonic Applications: Preparation, Characterization, and Simulation in Biohybrid Interfaces

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CP‐NPs), namely P3HT‐, PCBM‐, and P3HT:PCBM‐NPs are explored, from preparation to biophotonic applications. The obtained CP‐NPs exhibit visible absorption, red/near infra‐red (NIR) emission, and light‐induced photocurrent generation in physiological media, stable optoelectronic behavior and size uniformity. Simulations

The local health impacts of natural resource booms

Health Economics, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 462-500, February 2023., 2023
Abstract This paper uses novel micro‐data on natural resources and administrative health data in Brazil to study how economic booms in minerals affect health at birth. By implementing a reduced‐form estimation of shift‐share research designs, the identification strategy relies on the exogeneity of global commodity prices to municipality‐specific health

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
