Associations between fine and coarse particles and mortality in Mediterranean cities: results from the MED-PARTICLES project [PDF]
, 2013 Few studies have investigated the independent health effects of different size fractions of particulate matter (PM) in multiple locations, especially in Europe. We estimated the short-term effects of PM with aerodynamic diameter = 10 µm (PM10), = 2.5 µm

The heartbreak of depression: 'Psycho-cardiac' coupling in myocardial infarction [PDF]
, 2017 Ample evidence identifies strong links between major depressive disorder (MDD) and both risk of ischemic or coronary heart disease (CHD) and resultant morbidity and mortality. The molecular mechanistic bases of these linkages are poorly defined. Systemic
