Central sensitization: implications for the diagnosis and treatment of pain.

TL;DR: Diagnostic criteria to establish the presence of central sensitization in patients will greatly assist the phenotyping of patients for choosing treatments that produce analgesia by normalizing hyperexcitable central neural activity.

The role of atmospheric dispersion in the seasonal variation of PM1 and PM2.5 concentration and composition in the urban area of Milan (Italy)

TL;DR: In this article, the seasonal variation of PM1 and PM2.5 mass concentration and composition has been investigated in the great urban area of Milan, where PM samplings were carried out 3 times a week during the year 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study on nighttime–daytime PM10 concentration and elemental composition in relation to atmospheric dispersion in the urban area of Milan (Italy)

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of PM10 concentration and composition in relation to atmospheric dispersion conditions are shown, and a case study concerning a green Sunday (when traffic was forbidden from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) is also discussed.

Characterisation of the traffic sources of PM through size-segregated sampling, sequential leaching and ICP analysis

TL;DR: A study of the elemental composition and size distribution of atmospheric particulate matter and of its spatial and temporal variability has been conducted at two traffic sites and one urban background site in the area of Rome, Italy as mentioned in this paper.

Seasonal variations in the chemical composition of particulate matter: a case study in the Po Valley. Part I: macro-components and mass closure

TL;DR: The seasonal variability in the mass concentration and chemical composition of atmospheric particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) was studied during a 2-year field study carried out between 2010 and 2012 and a satisfactory mass closure was obtained.

sources and effects of ionizing radiation

TL;DR: This annex is aimed at providing a sound basis for conclusions regarding the number of significant radiation accidents that have occurred, the corresponding levels of radiation exposures and numbers of deaths and injuries, and the general trends for various practices, in the context of the Committee's overall evaluations of the levels and effects of exposure to ionizing radiation.

Properties and behaviour of radon and thoron and their decay products in the air

TL;DR: In this paper, the characterization of radon and thoron and their short-lived decay products in indoor and outdoor air, and relationships between exposure and dose are reviewed, as well as the processes affecting concentrations and aerosol size distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The vertical distribution of radon 222, radon 220 and their decay products in the atmosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical equilibrium distributions of Rn222, Rn220, and their decay products in a horizontally isotropic atmosphere are calculated from diffusion theory with the help of a digital computer.
