Health impact assessments (HIA) have largely focused on mortality; this report, therefore, examines and evaluates which morbidity impacts are appropriate to include in HIAs. The task was assigned by Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the original report (written in Swedish) was performed by Anna Oudin (AO), Erin Flanagan (EF), and Ebba Malmqvist (EM). The original report also inclu
Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures. It usually develops after an initial insult, such as head trauma or stroke, which triggers the epileptogenic process. During epileptogenesis, the affected brain regions undergo multiple changes in connectivity and gene expression, and among the most affected genes
BACKGROUND While there is ample evidence for health risks associated with heat and other extreme weather events today, little is known about the impact of weather patterns on population health in preindustrial societies.OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of weather patterns on population health in Sweden before and during industrialization.METHODSWe obtained records of monthly mortality and of mon
Crystals of [Pt{(CH3)2S}4](CF3SO3)2, M(r) = 741.76, and [Pt(C4H8OS)4](CF3SO3)2.H2O, M(r) = 927.93, were prepared by dissolution of platinum(II) hydroxide in solutions of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in dimethyl sulfide and 1,4-thioxane, respectively. The structures were determined from X-ray intensity data (Mo K-alpha, lambda = 0.7107 angstrom) collected at room temperature with a CAD-4 diffracto
