Maternal Stress and Preterm Birth
Nancy Dole,David A. Savitz,Irva Hertz-Picciotto,Anna Maria Siega-Riz,Michael J. McMahon,Pierre Buekens +5 more
TL;DR: The prospective collection of multiple psychosocial measures on a large population of women indicates that a subset of these factors is associated with preterm birth, including life events, social support, depression, pregnancy-related anxiety, perceived discrimination, and neighborhood safety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Case-control study of childhood cancer and exposure to 60-hz magnetic fields
TL;DR: The results encourage further examination of the carcinogenic potential from this form of nonionizing radiation, and are nonresponse, differential mobility of cases and controls, and a presumably nondifferential exposure misclassification from the use of imperfect surrogates for long-term magnetic field exposure history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiologic evidence on the health effects of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
TL;DR: Empirical evidence remains limited, and to date data are insufficient to draw firm conclusions regarding the role of PFOA for any of the diseases of concern, but there is relatively consistent evidence of modest positive associations with cholesterol and uric acid.
