Background: The air quality in Upper Northern Thailand (UNT) deteriorates during seasonal vegetation fire events, causing adverse effects especially on respiratory health outcomes. This study aimed to quantitatively estimate respiratory morbidity from vegetation fire smoke exposure, and to assess the impact of a burning ban enforced in 2016 on morb...

Context 1
... 2014 to 2018, there were roughly 2 million hospital visits for respiratory diseases annually (Table 1). Nearly half of these visits were made by children, and 15% by older adults. ...Context 2
... estimated number of hospital visits for respiratory diseases attributable to re-originated PM 10 for all ages throughout the study period was 132,923 (Table 1). One third of these hospital visits were made by vulnerable groups (children: 28,937 visits, older adults: 22,207 visits). ...Context 3
... numbers of attributable cases for all ages and in vulnerable groups by province-year are shown in Fig. 3 and Supplementary Figures (S1 and S2). After burning ban enforcement in 2016, the number of hospital visits for respiratory diseases attributable to re-originated PM 10 decreased from 113,044 to 19,876 (approximately 80% reduction from the pre-intervention period) (Table 2), which is consistent with the decrease in the total number of hospital visits during burning days (Table 1). The proportion of total attributable cases for 5-year period decreased by 1.3% (from 1.8-0.5%). ...Similar publications
Introduction:
The burden of disease attributed to drinking water from private wells is not well characterised. The Wells and Enteric disease Transmission trial is the first randomised controlled trial to estimate the burden of disease that can be attributed to the consumption of untreated private well water. To estimate the attributable incidence...
Background. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disease attributed to multiple genetic variants and environmental factors. We aimed to find the causal association of homocysteine (Hcy) with PCOS. Methods. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed. We selected 14 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumen...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prolonged disease caused by abnormal rise in glucose levels due to poor insulin production in the pancreas. However, the detection and classification of this type of disease is very challenging and requires effective techniques for learning the T2D features. Therefore, this study proposes the use of a novel hybridized dee...
Background
Previous studies have quantified the current burden of diseases attributable to overweight in Chile. However, no study has estimated the attributable burden of overweight in the future. Herein, we estimated the potential impact of different trajectories in the prevalence of overweight on the incidence and mortality from non-communicable...
Cannabis is the fourth psychoactive substance to be legalized which are of far-reaching significance to the world. We analyzed data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) to estimate the incidence and prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) and calculated the disease burden of CUD in 204 countries and territories and 21 regions over t...
