TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the heatwave definitions used in the literature published up to 1st April 2015 by searching five databases (PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science).

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature regarding the relationship between ambient temperature and children's health and to propose future research directions was conducted, which indicated that very young children, especially children under one year of age, are particularly vulnerable to heatrelated deaths.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of the epidemiological evidence on the relationship between diurnal temperature range (DTR) and human health and to propose future research directions is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the associations between air pollution and immune-inflammatory responses, as well as mechanisms linking air pollution exposure and auto-immunity were discussed, focusing on the potential roles of air pollution in major autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review was conducted to elucidate the relationship between heat waves and children's health and found that the existing literature does not consistently suggest that mortality among children increases significantly during heat waves, even though infants were associated with more heat-related deaths.
