Blood Lead Levels and Death From All Causes, Cardiovascular Disease, and Cancer: Results From the NHANES III Mortality Study
TL;DR: In a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population, blood lead levels as low as 5–9 μg/dL were associated with an increased risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of permethrin-treated bed nets on malaria, anemia, and growth in infants in an area of intense perennial malaria transmission in western Kenya
Feiko O. ter Kuile,Dianne J. Terlouw,Simon Kariuki,Penelope A. Phillips-Howard,Lisa B. Mirel,William A. Hawley,Jennifer F. Friedman,Ya Ping Shi,Margarette S. Kolczak,Altaf A. Lal,John M. Vulule,Bernard L. Nahlen +11 more
TL;DR: In areas of intense perennial malaria transmission, ITNs substantially reduce exposure to malaria and subsequent malaria-associated morbidity in children less than 24 months old, and Protective efficacy was greatest in infants less than three months old and similar in older infants and one-year-old children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria and nutritional status among pre-school children: results from cross-sectional surveys in western kenya
Jennifer F. Friedman,Arthur M. Kwena,Lisa B. Mirel,Simon Kariuki,Dianne J. Terlouw,Penelope A. Phillips-Howard,William A. Hawley,Bernard L. Nahlen,Ya Ping Shi,Feiko O. ter Kuile +9 more
TL;DR: The cross-sectional nature of the study limits the interpretation of causality, but the data provide further observational support that the presence of undernutrition, in particular chronic under malnutrition, places children at higher, not lower risk of malaria-related morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Levels of plasma trans-fatty acids in non-Hispanic white adults in the United States in 2000 and 2009.
TL;DR: Changing to a diet low in TFAs may lower the LDL-C level and decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease, and reductions have been shown in supermarket and restaurant products.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that the infant FcγRIIa His/His131 genotype is associated with susceptibility to perinatal HIV-1 transmission and further suggests that there is a dose–response relationship for the effect of the F cγR IIa His131 gene on transmission.
